First timer grow journal

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by Frombi710, Oct 14, 2014.

  1. Well I'd like to start off by saying this is my first grow journal. Usually I just write in my personal journal. But figured, might as well post on here as get some good feed back.

    Most my friends know me as frombi or frombifide. I've grown in the past(indoor hydro) with a friend in Cali. That was probably about 4-5 years go. Now I'm at it again with a lot smaller set up(micro grow) due to where I live now. Well now let's talk about the grow ^_^

    Oct 6- germanized 3 seeds(bag seeds) and transplanted into soil

    Oct 9- first one broke the surface.(seemed really healthy at first)

    Oct 11- had another break the surface. Sadly the first one to break the surface isn't looking to good. Seems like it stunted itself from growing.

    Now let's fast forward to today.

    Oct 14. It's been one week since the first one sprouted. Still don't think it'll pull through sadly. Pic below

    Here is the one that sprouted 2 days after the first. Looks amazing compared to the first.

    Now the next two pics were taken exactly 24hrs apart

    Clearly the 2nd one is doing amazing compared to the first. Hoping it'll pull through. If not it's ok I suppose ha.

    Now a lil about my box:

    It's 16x16x37 in. with one fan at the top rear to pull the heat up and out. And I have 2 cfls going at 18/6. With an adjustable chain to raise as they grow. It's not the best box, but it'll work for my case ^_^ the temps are 79-89degrees sometimes during the day it'll get to 90-91.

    If you see anything I need to add or any advise. Don't be afraid to say it. I'll take everything constructive. I'll post back up tomorrow and keep everyone updated ^_^

  2. Hi frombi, i had a seedling similar to that slightly unhealthy one of yours.. grew it out for the hell of it in a 2 gal container and it turned out literally under 2 inches in height once fully budded with about 2 spliff of bud on it, it was the funniest thing ive ever seen. Must have had massive defects but i liked it lol.
     
    Might be a similar thing, or might just grow out of it and get better. Im no expert though. But i have had the odd seedling have dodgy even once yellow hard little seedling leaves and after a week or so it sprung back into life.

    should work.
    id consider drilling an intake hole for a pc fan in the very bottom middle.
    doesnt have to be on in the beginning.
    also id lift the lights a bit and the lift the cups on top of some books
    If the floor is too cold it will also affect root growth.
    but keep cfls 2 inches from plant.
     
  4. It's hard to see but I have holes in the bottom sides. In between the heat shield there is about a half inch gap that passes air through it

    And I never though about the ground temp. Good call!! Thanks!

  5. That's interesting. Ya I think ima let it go and see what happens. It had a hard time even opening up for its first leaves. Sprouted really fast though

  6. Ah cool, should be fine then. Ive had some wierd looking seedlings like that that turn out fine ;)
     
  7. make sure the water your feeding isnt cold, try to keep the container in a place where its warm
     
  8. Ya I have 2 different bottles I keep at room temp. Usually keep them near the box themselfs.

    Also can anyone reccomend some other fans I could use?

  9. Update- sadly idk if this lil guy is gonna pull through. Been 2 days with no growth. ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1413387616.006958.jpg

    On my other one, I started some lst. Before I transplant it into the last pot it'll be in. Opinions? ImageUploadedByGrasscity Forum1413387776.612344.jpg

  10. you should let that plant grow up for a while,
    do you have holes at the bottom of your containers.
    dont bug the smaller plant,
    you should get a cheap dollar mister and keep the top of the soil a little moist, so the plant has an easier time pushing through.
     
  11. As in let it grow more before lst? Been reading a lot on lst, but this is my first Time actually doing it.

    And ya I'm not gonna bother the small one at all until I know it's gonna make it.

  12. yeah, let it grow atleast till the 5 node before you start bending her; every couple days slowly.
     
  13. Thanks for the advise! This is where she is at currently. Transplanted into the final pot. The other one though still hasn't gotten any bigger.. Sadly

  14. Sometimes you just get a weak seed.

    try to keep an even canopy when doing lst, you want all the main auxiliary nugs to be the "main colas"

    But wait atleast a week-2 before you get to bending her
     
  15. Been acouple days since I've updated.

    Well this is where she is so far. Looking really healthy and growing a new layer everyday

    Now my other one. She is starting to show some life and is growing some new leafs finally.(remember she sprouted first too)

    Don't mind the one on the right. That's my friends. But gives you an ideal on how much of a stunt it had between growths.

  17. They look good man I wonder why that little one took so long
     
  18. I think what happened is the tap root started going down, then back up and made a loop with it. Took over a month to get it this far and it sprouted first.
