Subbed! It's always nice watching setups like your own...let's me kno if I'm doing something wrong..lol I'm ready for the ride! _________________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
Good morning! Figured today would be a good day to post some pics! The setup: Current temp: 82f Humidity: 46 percent Gonna throw some water in front of the fans to cool down and raise humidity slightly. Any other thoughts or suggestions? June 1: Finished germinating, got twins! Went into soil, they popped up about 6 hours under the cfl's. Mid afternoon I discovered that I indeed had twins after these lady's took off their hats. I am proud to introduce: Lady Marion and Miss Janesworth. June 2: Day two (at this point I was overwatering) I didn't realize at the time -newbie mistake End of day two. I was watering (Distilled) about every three hours with temps in the 90's. I was waiting for my temperature and humidity monitor to arrive so I had no idea til the next day which is also when I realized I was overwatering and stunting growth. Day three: Not much change, and after spending a few hours in the forums I began to realize my mistake and just misted the top of the soil after it was very dry. Day four: Rinse and repeat and the girls began to grow a bit more Day 5: Day 6: As of yesterday and today I give the soil a nice spray in the morning when they wake and once more just before they sleep at the end of their 18 hour day. So far, it seems to be going really well but if anyone has any tips or suggestions to make the lady's happy, I'm all ears The cfl's are about an inch to two inches away. I also rotated the 2700k over a socket after the fourth day just to even out the distribution a bit. Thanks! -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Be careful with the over watering...you shouldn't have to water no more than maybe every 4days. But you can spray/mist the top everyday if you want...or atleast that's what I do. How did you get twins? Is that frm 1 seed or 2? _________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html
Very true! I'm glad I caught it early and read up on it. I got two plants from one seed. From what I understand, it's a bit rare but happens... usually one is a runt and dies off but I would be thrilled if I can manage to train and keep both healthy -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Yea that would be awesom! Lol _________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html
Day 7 2nd set of leaves begin to make an appearance. Her twin is a bit of a runt but I still love her. -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Day 11! So I found out I had fungal gnats due to my overwatering in the beginning. It appears that they were unable to do any damage but it freaked me out greatly. This is how I battled them: I let the soil really dry out to stop in larvae. I added a little more soil on the top layer to keep the adults down Lastly I put a little diatomaceous earth down and I haven't seen them for about 12 hours now. Hopefully I'm in the clear and no root damage was done. -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
Day 17. Encountered a few problems 1. Noob mistake and over watered in the beginning got rid of the fungal gnats (haven't seen any for days) 2. added 1/4 nutes two days ago and it seemed like the brown spots/yellowing increased which I stopped 3. The lights may have been to close. I trimmed up the yellowing at the tips. Any insight would be great! -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
I'm doing my first grow now so my knowledge is a bit limited but... 1.try not to water till she's pretty dry. Or stick your finger into the soil about 2" deep..if it's still moist, dnt water. 2.ive always read not to use nutes till about 3-4wks into vegg...but if you wanted to experiment..try 1/8 or 1/16 of full strength... 3. I try to keep my lights exactly 3" at all times. I've read that 2" is the closest and 4" in the furthest you want your lights so 3" seems ideal to me. But from your pik...she looks great! Whatever your doing...keep doing it! _________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html
Oh and how is that second sprout doing...or did it die? _________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html
Perfect. This was the reassurance that I was looking for. Thank you! Good advice the second girl is still going strong just a lol bit shorter I'll post a pic in a bit. Your girl is looking good! -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
I had the same thing happen to my lsd, one started to do better than the other tho, so I ended up seperateing them and stunting them. Do not seperate. Lol. The other will probably die off. Sent Via My Pokedex http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1305920-Kushgodrex%27s-First-Grow
Subbed... can't wait to see how this turns out for I start mine. Good luck bud Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
You might want to consider pulling one of those plants out, as putting two plants in one pot will cause them both to fight for nutrients and the roots will strangle one another.. The result being stunted plants and slow growth all together making yield very minimal. Compared to growing one plant in there with a much higher yield. Also I saw you mentioned you trimmed the tips of the plants because they had yellowed, eh I probably wouldn't have done that as this makes the plant think it needs to grow more roots and it will focus on root production compared to plant leaf growth. Usually cutting of the tips is done when we clone. Lol but it's all good.. Just make sure you don't plant two seeds in one container next time and if you don't want to pull one of them right now for fear of breaking the roots on the other plant, you can snip one of them with sanitized scissors. Snip it at the stem and the stem should die off and the roots for that plant will die off as well.

Thanks so much for your input, since this is my first grow I expected to make a bunch of mistakes and I'm very appreciative to this community and it's valuable advice. I only planted one seed just happened to get get twins. I took it as a blessing from the cannabis gods lol. -Planting the pot at the end of the rainbow.
