2nd grow, floro/CFL

[ThePot]

So here is my second attempt of a grow. Just got 21 grams off my first harvest (2 plants).
This is so I have an updated of my own progress, and hopefully to entertain at least a few of you.

I just finished the first week, planted on 9/5.

They're under a 2x 48" t12 fixture with a 5000k and a 4100k tube, along with 2 26w daylight CFLs. Soil is organic, gardener's gold or something, with some MG perlite added. Only fed bottled water, every 3 days or so. They seem pretty happy with everything.

Planning is to veg for a total of 4-5 weeks and throw them into flower with either 5 42w 2700k
or 2 floro tubes with 2-3 clf supplementary lights. floros being 3000k and/or 4100k.

any advice/critiques are greatly welcomed

Check back for updates and pics!

thanks, enjoy

These are from day 13, just after they were transplanted... the last 2 pics are the same plant. probably gonna change the light schedule to 18/6 in a day or 2 as well.

They look fine! Nice green and short! Good Job!

how's that for an atta boy??

I myself would keep them lights on all the time during veg

if you think about it, floros don't give off all that many lumens comapred to HID so 24/7 gets as much out of your lights as you can...

LST for the same reason

(bear in mind I am vegging for my 5th time right now, still learning here too)

[ThePot]

Well I changed the light schedule to 20/4 vs 18/6, just for the hell of it..

one question, for LSTing, should I be tying down just the stem or the fan elaves too?

3 weeks old! and goin good.

started LSTing them today with real string, not paperclips

bought a humidity/temp doo hickey

79 degrees, 31% humidity, too low???

anyone?

[IMgreen]

31 is kinda on the low side but if it isn't hurting them don't worry about it

I would think controlling relative humidity at this point would be more trouble than its worth and could easily introduce mold

just my .02 and should be taken as such

[ThePot]

Day 33! almost week 5

heres the newest update, sorry for slackin for the past 2 weeks.

They are all lookin good, some ragged leaves from a mischievous cat

ATM humidity is @ 60% but its usually around 35-40. Temp is 75 F

I dunno how much longer I'll veg, maybe another week or 2. (esp. for the little one.)
Theyre in 3 gallon buckets, I think... About 1/2 cup dolomite lime and a lil bone meal added. They seem to like it soo far. Might need a little more feeding before flower
what do you think??

here are some pics

is my journal really that boring?
