This is my first grow. The plants are a little more than two weeks old. They have been through a lot(nute burn as soon as they sprouted from soil being hot, also they have experienced some heat stress) as I am still learning as I go. They are all bagseed I've kept over the years. I have the climate under control now with the help of a 6 inch 240 cfm intake fan. Here are some of the specs MarsHydro 300 Watt (182 true watts I believe) I have cfls and will add if I need to Soil is a mix of half organic soil and half perlite. The nutes I have so far are Kelp liquid plant food and Foliage Pro The grow box is very simple 2 Rubbermaid containers, the inline fan is mounted up top to pull out hot air, I have a intake hole at the bottom with a fan on the outside to help push extra air and keep air moving in closet. I believe they are in one gallon pots the bottom doesn't indicate it just says #1
So how do they look? Any advice is welcome! View attachment 1863203 I topped the biggest one about 5 days ago and the other middle plant was not really topped or FIM, I mean shit I really missed and cut the middle plus half of its new side growth. View attachment 1863204 I watered today with tap water, kelp, and foliage pro
So I'm using the bag seeds I have collected for my first grow but I do have some seeds I bought from bonzaseeds. I plan to practice with the plants I have now and start planting some autos once I harvested and started the reveg on the future mother( whichever bag seed looks the best throughout the grow cycle, or I may just reveg them all we will see. 2x KC Brains Seeds- KC45 Autoflowering Regular 5x 00 Seeds- Automatic Mix Feminized 1x Barney's Farms-Triple Cheese Feminized 1x G13 -Super Skunk Feminized
View attachment 1863640 Looking good, I want to Fim the outer 4 but I think they need to veg more. So far I have been really rough on these plants because I am learning as I grow but damn they seem resilient so I might try som diff methods like super cropping one or mainlining
Thanks Dutty! Do you have any experience with g13 super skunk or Barneys farms triple cheese?( I plan on popping those seeds with a couple autos next) Also how long do you think they should veg for before I top the outer 4 plants. I have already topped the middle 2. The reason I ask is because I am planning on keeping these in this closet set up for my first run and they need to be short and stout.
OK so here's the plan: I'm going to Veg these six plants for a short period and try to keep them short and stout. They are all bags seeds. I'm hoping I get some females! Hopefully I can flower them properly with a successful harvest. Once I get my first grow under my belt I will buy more lights and switch to my tent 2x4x6ft( which my girlfriend hates and thinks take up way too much space in the walk in closet.... So I had to take it down and figure out a smaller set up.. I believe once she sees what I can grow she will change her mind. So for right now I'm in my DIY Rubbermaid) after harvest I want to try and reveg all the females from the harvest and start some new auto seeds to grow along side the future mothers. These are the seeds I currently have 2x KC Brains Seeds- KC45 Autoflowering Regular(at some point I want a male from one of these to breed with some photo seeds to create some auto flower seeds.) I need to research this subject more. 5x 00 Seeds- Automatic Mix Feminized 1x Barney's Farms-Triple Cheese Feminized 1x G13 -Super Skunk Feminized
Thanks for joining the journey! Please if you see anything or want to give your two cents don't hold back.
View attachment 1863678 Here is what I am currently using. This is my first grow so I'm try not to over complicate things Grow medium- 50% Organic Potting Soil 50% Perlite Watering with tap water I try and let it sit out for a day before I mix nutes and feed
Subbed bagseed so far looking not to bad I like the bigger one in the middle and if you plan on flowering in there you should top or fim asap the one you want to try and fim I would do now it will comeback fast and if done properly you will get four tips right where you fimmed plus the 2 branches next node down should catch up to the top canopy Wichita would give you 6 tops and then you should start to lst outwards from the center and don't really try supercropping until you have a branch or 2 4 or 5 inches higher then the canopy and try to bend so you don't cover other bud sotes
