smoking and usage

NOTE: This grow IS legal, I do have my Prop 215 card!

So now that my dad knows im a regular smoker I have new things to try such as growing!!! I have 3 plants that are up and sprouted now, all of which sprouted between 3-4 days ago. The first 2 are each under a 24w daylight CFL and the one that looks a bit taller is under a 42w soft cfl.

PLANT 1
24W Daylight CFL
Miracle Grow ORGANIC Soil
3 days after sprouting

Plant 2
24W Daylight CFL
Miracle Grow ORGANIC Soil
3 days after sprouting

Plant 3
42W Soft white CFL

4 days after sprouting

UPDATE 9/17

Well its been a 7 days since they sprouted, everything going good, I switched areas FINALLY! I am no longer growing in this...

And now I'm growing in this! I know its a bad pic cause the lights are on but its a pretty large walk-in closet...

As for the plants currently they are still running the same lights as before but now there are two fans in there, one above the plants blowing air out and the other one sucking the air thats blown out and blowing it out the door.

Plant 1
ORGANIC MG soil
24W Daylight

Plant 2
ORGANIC MG Soil
24W Daylight CFL
NOTE: This one does seem a lot smaller then the other ones, probably like half the size just wondering if maybe I need to water it more or something, I dont know I'm still feeling this whole thing out.

Plant 3
ORGANIC MG Soil
42W CFL

So far the best looking one is plant 3, she (hopefully a she at least) is growing at a pretty steady pace and has some purple outlines around the leaves, simply beautiful!

So I figured out why Plant 2 has been a little behind the others... I took these 3 outside to have a bowl with me so they could play in the sun and I was looking at the shadow of the sun and noticed that the plant was getting hardly any light, actually none of them were getting very much except for the one with the big rectangle cut out of the side of it, so I thought to myself, I'm a noob, and cut them all down directly to the soil, they were out in the sun for literally not longer then 1 hour and I started noticing them brighten up, they are getting full light so hopefully they will get a kickstart tonight and be 5 feet tall tomorrow!!

PICTURES OF THE NEW AND IMPROVED PLANTS TONIGHT!

Sorry I never posted pics of the other day, Today is day 8 since sprouting!

Also I have the new setup set up... if that made sense pices will be after the plants and I will explain it down there and new soil and new pots and shit

Alice (AKA: Plant 3)
42w CFL
organic locally made soil in Humboldt county for buds! OUT WITH THE MG!!

Delilah (AKA: Plant 2)
24w daylight CFL
organic locally made soil in Humboldt county for buds! OUT WITH THE MG!!

Dixie (AKA: Plant 1)
24w daylight CFL
organic locally made soil in Humboldt county for buds! OUT WITH THE MG!!

All of them are doing great but delilah was the shrimp and has given me a few problems but nothing serious... everything I think is on par now...

Heres the new setup

Gonna possibly grow on the bottom shelf of that black thing and use the second shelf as a screen because it looks like this,

do you think it would work? And since I'm going full flouro lights of every sort and dont want to deal with heat I will be getting a tek 24" t5 4bulb light as well as each plant will have 2 lights a 24w daylight and a 42w soft white light at the base of each plant. Will have 2 fans circulating air with the door open all the time and there will be that shiny shit i cant think of it cause im pretty baked... mylar.

SEE YOU IN A FEW DAYS!

looks good, the beginning for me was a bunch of getting things right and adjusting, looks like your goin thru the same thing. they're looking nice.

My advice to you is know your runoff ph, dont overwater, and above all watch out for those attack moose lol

Atom · #7 (**permalink**) 09-19-2007, 02:37 PM

Yeah I know... I need a PH meter BAD, I cant get one till thursday (when I get paid) because I really just dont have the money to spend one one right now and I dont wanna buy a cheap shitty one I would rather not even get those and just put that money towards a nicer one

Atom · #8 (**permalink**) 09-24-2007, 09:14 PM

Today I got some new T-5's a 24 inch fixture with 4 bulbs, it basically kicks many asses but pics will hopefully be up tonight (my girlfriend wrecked my xterra last night maybe I will post pics of that also!) but someone please show a little interest! haha

as for the plants no pictures today because they arent looking so great for the camera as they are suffering from nuteburn! I gave them 1/4 nutes as usual and they were fine but the next day they were real dry so i gave them a quick drink but i accidentally grabbed the nuted water... the results arent bad yet I noticed it right when I did it and flushed em right away but today about 2 or 3 days later they are still showing signs, i reflushed checked the ph reset the setup to get better air flow and re-arranged the lights... I will be posting pics in a few days when they start showing better signs of improvement!

ALSO SHOULD I WAIT TO TOP UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE LOOKING BETTER FROM THE NUTE BURN I DIDNT KNOW IF I SHOULD TOP BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO STRESS THEM EVEN MORE

Atom · #12 (**permalink**) 09-30-2007, 05:06 PM

Topped them this morning, everything went well and they are currently back under the light gettin bigger!

Atom · #13 (**permalink**) 10-03-2007, 06:02 AM
