Domin8's Closet CFL Soil grow, done right [PICS]!

domin8cs08 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-29-2009, 09:30 PM

Hey Hey!
So I've been trying to grow passively for that last year or so and finally decided to do it right. In my pictures you can see the other plants that have had problems (soil and pH). But this time I got some good feminized Big Bang seeds from the Attitude Seed bank, nice organic soil that isnt MG, and I'm no longer an overwatering noob.

In a day or two, once the seed is shed from the sprout, i'll transplant to a 16in pot.
I have two 27 watt day light CFLs and two 43 watt soft whites.
There's plenty of ventilation, its a closet but the door can stay open, and a fan blows in.
I'm going to try to hold off on nutes for a while, since nute burn seems to be a common problem.

These pictures are the 3rd day after sprouting.

Check out my failure plants. The big bang sprout is in the tiny clay pot.

Please comment, I'd love to hear what you guys think and I'll answer any questions as soon as I can.

Hey man, Gluck with the grow, we're all here to help.

The baby looks like it's stretching a bit, is the light close enough? I would also make sure your fan is blowing on her plenty to strengthen that stem up a bit. She won't need nutes for a good few weeks, so you are right to wait.

The baby leaves shed the seed so i transplanted to the 16in pot with organic fertilizer.
You can see the potting soil mix in the middle, and the two daylight bulbs. And i threw in one of the big soft white bulbs just for shits and giggles

Today i also planted the California Hash seed in a seperate pot. It was the free seed that came with my attitude seeds order

Day 10 after sprouting for the big bang.

Its a tad higher and wider, but theres already an alternated node coming in.

Heres a blurry picture of the big bang with the California hash sprout.

21 days after sprouting today
these are some pictures i just took.

The big bang is looking good, lots of growth on it.
In the first picture you can see i have 2 26watt daylight cfls, and 2 46 watt soft white cfls. Do you think thats enough? How bad is it to mix spectrums like that?

New set up today, I was using a light fixture from a lamp but now i made a setup with some basic bulb fixtures. this gets the lights a lot lot closer to the plant.

have u started feeding her yet? a month is about long enuff that she would need some more nutes. start off with 1/4 of the recommended dose every other week and increase a s needed
and hey good luck im doing the same thing now only instead of passive growing ive read dozens(hundreds?)[thousands?] of posts, journals, and guides. hope we both make it
