Buzz'z Funky First Grow thread! Complete with photos for your enjoyment

This is my first ever grow! I am excited about it, so I thought I would join the legions of other city growers and post a journal.

I bought my seeds from Attitude. I am growing 6- auto Quicksilver, and 1- G13 Diesel. They are all females. I really want to see some fast results, so I went with an auto strain. Quicksilver is closer to a non-autoflowering strain in size. They can grow up to 5' tall, and are said to produce bigger yields than dwarves.

I germed them in a glass of distilled water overnight (Tuesday 6-2-09). I put them in a tupper ware container and moistened with distilled water, wrapped the container in a towel, and put them on top of the tv (Wednesday). On Saturday morning I opened them up and they had grown to about 1-2" long. Three of them had pushed their way through the paper towels. They already had miniscule roots growing out of the main root. I gently pulled them through the paper towel and put them into the soil from the garden.

For now, they are inside under 3- 26w 6500 cfl's. Then they will be transplanted out into the garden.

This is an organic grow. The garden soil consists of:
aged cow and horse manure
humus
topsoil
sphagnum peat moss
worm castings
naturally composted organic materials (meaning dead roots and stems from vegies)
and local sandy soil. I have used this soil for a long time and just add a bucket or two of new materials.

I have no idea what the percentages are. I am going in anyway.

I built the garden up off the ground because the soil here is really alkaline, and clay. The water table is 3' down. My land is an old river bed from back when this area was covered by the river. There is 144 square feet, so it should accommodate the mj and the tomato and pepper plants. Salsa yeah. I love chips and salsa for the munchies.

Here are some shots of the garden and soil. Big woo huh? LOL

I just have to upload some photos I took of them. I'll be danmed, they are all coming up since this morning.

Questions and comments are welcome and appreciated.

 

Thanks Tim. You're a pal.

Here are some photos of my babies. These were taken this morning. By the afternoon they were all coming out of the soil. Check the one out that is stuck in the paper towel. The Diesel is the last pic. I poked her with a toothpic, but she didn't seem to care. I thought the cat was playing in the soil,
and exposing the seeds. I covered them back up, and they poked through again. LOL

Here are some photos showing the auto are growing just as strong and fast as the Diesel. These photo's show 1 days growth. They went from poking through the soil, to getting their first set of leaves.

Well, I am on plan 'B' now, since I planted them in 16 oz. cups. Duh. It would take too long to get them rootbound. So I think I'm going to put them out when they are a few more inches tall, and plant the cup into the ground until they are 8- 10" tall. I will then fim them, and plant directly in the dirt.

They are sooo tiny. The one by the paper clip in the picture is the runt. That is a regular size paper clip. If you enlarge the picture you can see the teeniest 1st leaves forming, and the indentations on the leaves. I didn't realize mj grows like a weed! Ha ha

 

Thanks Chi. it means a lot to have you here.

 

Yeah I've grown a few vegies before. I love to have my hands in dirt.
Thanks for being here for me!

 

Thanks for stopping by my friend. Wow, growing really fast. I'm so amazed at marijuana. Even more since I planted my first seeds. I'm hooked. It's truly a wondrous weed. Good Luck with you're grow dude!
