OK, here is my second grow. My first grow is finishing up at the moment so if you want to check that out http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html So for my 2nd grow I am starting off in rockwool cubes, then going to be putting them in solo cups with some Whitney Farms Seed Starting mixed with perlite. They will be under CFLs until my other plant is done in about 2-3 weeks. Here's my arsenal: Fox Farms Ocean Forest w/ added Perlite 2 135w Blackstar LED w/ added CFLs if needed. Bio Bizz line nutrient- BioGrow, BioBloom, RootJuice, TopMax, and BioHeaven CalMag if needed using tap water w/ ph down and ph meter 3 gal plastic pots Auto Grand Daddy Purple seeds from marijuana-seeds.nl Using the same closet as my first grow. I had a lot of great input and help from the people on this site. Hopefully a lot of those sam people will follow this grow along with some new faces. I am open to all suggestions, comments, questions. My last grow went pretty rough for the first 4 weeks, so my main goal this time around is to sharpen up on those first few weeks, I am using better starting soil and shouldn't have the ph problem I did last time. Anyway, enjoy the ride.
I'm subbed in dude, can't wait to watch your grow. Howard Marks: A dealer is really just someone who buys more dope than he can smoke. And I have to say, I'm ashamed, I tried to smoke it all. There was just too fuckin' much of it.
appreciate the support. I put them in the rockwool two nights ago so hopefully see some life in the next day or two. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
First sign of life still waiting on the other to break ground but it looks like the rockwool is getting pushed up so hopefully tommorrow. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
And the other plant sprouts today. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Not sure. I got them from the website I posted. Hopefully they have good genetics. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Here's the girls together and there low budget temporary seedling environment. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
The A plant was already out growing the rockwool cube so I put them in some soil. It's a mix I made of 1 part ffof, 1 part perlite, and two parts Whitney farms seed mix. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
A few day in now. I don't know if I like that Whitney farms soil, I watered them yesterday and it didn't seem to drain well. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
1 week down. The A plant is really taking off! I don't know about her sister. Looking a little funny. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Gave the girls a little root juice today. Still not impressed with the seedling soil I got. Maybe it's just me because they seem to enjoy it. The soil just doesn't seem to drain well even with the 25 percent perlite I added. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html

13 days in. Transplanted into the 3 gal pots today with ffof and 25% perlite. The bigger plant was looking a little droopy. Besides that they are doing awesome. My grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1323166-another-noob-his-first-grow.html
Couple days after transplant. Plant A is looking better now. She needed some room to spread her roots. My current grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1345378-2nd-grow-auto-gdp.html
I noticed you said your seedling soil didn't drain well. Add more perlite next time. This is what fox farms light warrior seed starting soil looks like straight out of the bag. Way more perlite makes sure you don't over water seedlings. Light warrior cost a bit more then ocean floor, but you use so little it lasts.
ya I was going to get it, but they had this stuff for like 2 bucks and I added about 25% perlite, but they did do really well in it so the results were good. My current grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1345378-2nd-grow-auto-gdp.html
Started LST on plant A. Going to let B get a little bigger, she is still lagging behind. My current grow journal http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1345378-2nd-grow-auto-gdp.html
Subd damn they r huge! Our plants r almost the same age but mine look like your small one did almost 2 weeks ago
