hows it going =)
first grow
wish me luck

"so the dimensions of the box once again:
23.5 inches high/29.5 if i take out the bottom piece of wood
17 inches across"
i am growing currently germinating 4 blue mountain jamaican seeds and hope to have a successful grow of 2 plants in this box
i plan to use lst or scog

soil= generic from garden words
light= 2 cfl's ( 27 watt ( philips daylight )
water= clearly pure demineralized water

i am using slurpee cups instead of dixie cups
i drilled more than enough holes in the bottom for drainage

You're probably gonna need at least 2 more lights, but that looks fine for now.

Make sure you only veg your plants for like 2 weeks or they'll get way too big for those cups.

Those seeds also look ready to go in the soil, i would try to plant them soon, like now.

Good luck.

well i was gonna transfer them to a bigger plant, is that better than vegging them for 2 weeks?

Sloppy G · #5 (**permalink**) 10-09-2007, 08:10 PM

If you're gonna put them in a bigger pot, then you can veg them as long as you want... you just dont want your plants to get too big for the soil or the roots wont get enough oxygen and they'll rot.

Transfering to bigger pot is definetely better than vegging for 2 weeks.

P.S.: Vegetating starts when you see the first two serrated vegetative leaves (not the round embryonic ones)

ok i planted them in the soil and closed up the box
when i see the seed sprouting out the top i put the lights on 24/7?
i accidentally dropped one in the soil with the taproot sticking sideways
how bad is this? should i take it out and put it back in facing down or just leave it un disturbed

hey man whats up you should check out my pc grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-jour...w-journal.html

a few things that i saw when i checked out your box is that its bigger then mine and your using half the amount of lights i am using. Id really recommend even getting a 100w HPS/MH or a bunch more CFLs and have them all over the walls.
Other then that you should get those babies in the soil they look all set. good luck ill be stopping by frequently.

i just veged my seeds in papertowel with super thrive (i actually bought the stuff this year) and its working good. after veg i droped tap root seeds into soil at whichever angle i wanted, and i have had 8 sprouts that i am keeping, i am also veging some poppys but they havent vegged yet and planted some straight up to see if they sprout

im using 3 100 watt equilaent daylight cfls and mylar and carboard, its a pretty nifty setup, but hard to take pictures of

purp_kush · #10 (**permalink**) 10-11-2007, 06:46 AM

cool! yeah i have 6 daylight cfl's i just didnt have enough sockets for them but i found out theres something you can plug lights into that just plugs into an extension cord or w/e.

they have been placed in soil and i planted one more

now i wait till they sprout out of soil and put light on 24/7??
thanks

out with the foil and in with the paper
temp until i get mylar
just normal paper is ok right? i hope so, it took so long to cover every spot with white..
another seed germinated so i planted it and named it lisa (i like the picture on the front of the cup of lisa holding the plant [ironic] )
the two cfl's are also temporary until i get more sockets to plug lightbulbs into and iam working on ventilation..

lemme know what you think!

p.s. some kush shots at the end for ya
