Here we go. Another noob (me). Anyways been medicating for over a decade and now finally going to try and make my own. Figured I burned up enough of others hard work. Trying to keep it simple. Got some bag seed from a buddy and a 135w black star led. Got a biobizz starter kit (if anyone has used biobizz I would love some feedback). And I will probably regret cheaping on soil. Got some vigoro potting soil from Home Depot. Here's some pics, germanating went great, used the paper towel method. Here is my little babies. Sprouted about 5 days ago.
Its also really dry and hot where I live, I bought a fan and humidifier. With that I have gotten my closet to about 84 degrees and 55-60% humidity. Plants seem to be doing fine with it, hopfully they grow some in the next few days and I can get some new pics up.
Hey bud...I'm here for the ride! I'd suggest that you get your thermometer closer to your plants and level with your canopy. That's the temp that you want. I'm in the MidWest so I know how hot it can get! I keep my AC blasting 24/7 and that keep it stable but also ran my electric bill up..lol the only real thing you can do is keep a circulating fan on her and try to find a way to vent your closet..get your exhaust fan as high as possible, hot air rises so that's the air you want out! Oh! And you can put ice water in your humidifier..that should help as well. As far as your soil...dnt really kno much about bagged soil. You may end up having to add nutes...do your research on that one! _________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html
I got some nutes, waiting for the plants to get bigger to start using them. I'll put the thermometer up on something to get it more plant level, thanks for that advice and I have an idea to get some better ventilation. Appreciate the subscription man, good to get some input.

No probl man! I kno how it is when your wanting advice but can't seem to get any! _________________ Check out my Journal!!! http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-beginners/1307645-first-grow-organic-northern-lights-pc-grow.html
Day 8, a little growth and I think looking pretty healthy, gave them some water today. Watering about every 3 days. Still under the led, the pics turn out horrible with it on. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
There's three, the back one didn't make it. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Thanks man, love the support that's available on this site. Anyways, added a 100w 6500k cfl to see if it increases growth. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Day 12, gave them a very diluted amount of root juice and bio heaven. We will see how they react to it. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Shout me if need help with biobizz, I've been using the starter pack for my last few grows and had good results with it. Just don't use the biobizz to early into your grow. Subbed up too!
Thanks man, I've been trying to find someone who has used it. I'm going to give them a couple days and see how they did with the root juice. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Ok, I've never used root juice but go easy on it. What biobizz have you got? I'm using biogrow, biogrow bloom and topmax.
Bio grow, bio bloom, bio heaven, root juice, and top max. Checked on the. Plants this morning, about 24 hours after using the root juice and they seem to be doing good. Like I said I diluted it quite a bit. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Do you think the top max made a difference? I've heard a few people say they thought it was worthless. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
One thing I will say is dont use it at full strength right away, use 1/4 of what it says. My $0.02 http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1322850-Affies-Igloo
Not sure, I've always used it on my 1st and 2nd grow. I noticed it did help my first photo plant WW, but am not really seeing much difference in growth with my current autos. I've used it more in the last say 5 weeks of flowering, but also keep using small dose of biogrow and full strength biobloom.
Right on man I'll keep in mind using small amounts of the bio grow when I get to flower. I added a small amount of bio heaven with the root juice and it seemed to perk up the plants a little bit. I'll let you know in the future how it goes but a lot of people on the forums recommended that stuff. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
I've never tried bio heaven, have you got a bio bizz nute schedule? I can post you a PDF to download if you want one. Once your autos start flowering, things get interesting. Enjoy your grow, it starts to get addictive belive me.
