hey wzup everyone im starting my 1st and a half grow if that makes sense!!!lol..(i made it halfway thru my first grow and had to abort mission). im gonna be growing 2 hogs kush plants that i got from a san diego dispensary. ive got a grow box i built that is about 36Lx24Wx40H with mylar on the walls a dual squirrel cage type fan for exhuast with 2 holes on the opposite wall and a home rigged reflector, reflecting 11 cfl's..(8 23 watt daylight 6500k,1 23 watt warm 2700k,2 23 watt warm 3500k)thats for my veg then ill switch to the opposite for flower unless i can get a 250 watt hps before that time.. ive got the fox farms trio for nutes along with superthrive and eleanors vf-11... i have fox farm ocean forest for soil... ive just put my seeds in a jiffy cup after germinating for 2 days on 24/0... ive done quite a bit of reading and have an idea on how to start but im making this journal to show my journey along with hopefully having a few seasoned growers become a part of my journey with advice along the way... i personally dont smoke im a newly made grower for my mom who has kidney failure and a couple of other ailments and im tryin to do this to help her comfortably through this time.... so yea here we go!!!! all info is welcome preferably good info... P.S...also i plan on doin the lst technique to make up for grow space and the light penetration i get from the cfls...

heres a couple pics i put 2 more seeds in jiffy pots this mornin so ill have a total of 4 plants now... the other 2 that i planted at first seem to b growing a whole lot slower tha my last grow attempt.there isnt much noticible growth day to day like the first grow attempt but ill b patient and hopefully they get on track and its not a problem. i also ordered a 250 watt hps off ebay for flowering it should b here in plenty of time for that phase...

so guys i upgraded my grow box with a new cab i got off the ever so great craigslist and also got my 250 watt hps delivered..:-P... now i ended up putting my plants in fox farms O.F. in 3 gallon pots because after a week in the jiffy pots my plants were barely like an inch tall and lookin weak. im not sure why but i transplanted em and the look way better now and have a couple sets of lil leaves growing. they're still under the cfl's for veg. i wish i wouldve just started them out in 16 oz cups rather than the jiffy pots cuz that really seems to have set me back as far as initial growth but my babies should bounce back...has anyone else had a bad experience with jiffy pots?... ive been misting them with a water,oxygen plus,and superthrive mix no nutes tho.
:clap:
