1st stealth grow, Fem. Blue Mystic & freebies, 300w CFL

This is my first grow ever, so I’m really excited on how it will turn out. I’m hoping to get some decent bud of this grow, I’m sick of crazy prices and shit weed. I'm not putting to much into this grow since its my first, and I'm still living at home. I have limited space, so I’m going to top my plants and either LST them or do a scrog. Think I’m going with LST though, more tidy. Since I live with my mother and brother, I have to do this without them knowing shit. Therefore I’m growing in a box inside a small closet thingy in the wall, a place where no one looks cause there’s only old stuff in there.

Grow Cab Dimensions:
Height: 50cm
Width: 50cm
Depth: 70cm

Lighting:
1x CFL 250w 2700k – flower
1x CFL 105w 6500k – veg
2x CFL 20w 2700k – veg/flower

Going with 24/0 in veg, then switching to 12/12 when it’s time to flower.

Ventilation:
4x PC fans wired to adapters

Grow:
I’m growing with some soil that I found in the garage. I mixed some regular soil with some other type of soil, don’t know what it’s called in English, but it was really light and fluffy. The temperature is at 28-30 degrees celsius.

Seeds:
2x Feminized Blue Mystic (germinated seeds planted in soil 1 day ago)
2x Nirvana freebies (about two weeks old)

Nutrients:
I was originally going to grow hydro, so I bought hydro nutrients… But they say “for hydroponics and soil” so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Veg: General Hydroponics Europe Total Gro
Flowering: General Hydroponics Europe Total Bloom

Hoping to get some tips and feedback from you guys here

 

The two weed plants are the two nirvana freebies, about two weeks old.. I think they are pretty small but they had little light until a few days ago. One of them actually lost half of its leaves a week back cause i fucked up, so its a little ugly and it has really slowed down. But I dont care that much, since they're free. The other plant there is a pepper plant, just for fun. And the two black pots are the blue mystics, just sprouting now.

Look at the last picture, the close-up, those aren't pistils right?

 

Not much happening, the blue mystics are shooting up and the freebies are getting fatter. I added hydroton on top of the soil in order to let the soil hold the moisture longer, is was drying out too quickly cause of the pc fans.

But I need some help.. if I know what a node is, then this plant has 4 nodes and is ready to top right? (look at the close-up)

 

Well, I ended up fimming them so this is how they look now. Did I do it right?

Next update will come when new growth comes.

AND, should i start lst now or what?

 

Startet LST on the freebies, there is quite some growth from when i fimmed them yesterday. Im just wondering if I did it right, how does it look?

 

Day 24 from seed.

I was told i fimmed the plants right, and that 4 top colas where on their way. But i just cant see the 4 top colas.. Just looks like i fimmed it, then new fan leaves came up (looking funny cause of the fim) like normally. Can someone PLEASE answer me and tell me if i did it right or wrong? Hope the photos are good enough..

Red line is about where i fimmed.

 

hmm.. could you point out the new tops for me?

 

Blue Mystic at about 10 days. Did some more LST on the freebies.

 

Here are the blue mystics at about two weeks, they are looking good and healthy but the leaves are kinda f**ked up. Can someone tell me why? Low humidity?

 

The small ones are the Blue Mystics from 3 days ago, just after i topped them. No new growth on the main stem has appeared.

Struggling to keep the freebies as low and bushy as possible. I should of started flowering them a week ago cause of my limited space, but I have to wait for the Blue Mystics to get a little bigger so im hoping they dont get to big. If i find out the freebies get to big, should i take clones and just cut down the plant when i switch to 12/12? Any tips?

 

The freebies are now out in the woods, where they have been for about one and a half week. I live in a cold climate and people would laugh at me growing marijuana in these conditions. The average temperature is about 45-50F day time, and night is like 35-40. And its pretty damn windy too, and we dont get that much sun this time a year either. Its been snowing here some times too, its actually snowing as i type.

I havent checked one of them for some time now, but last i checked it was doing very good. The other one i checked yesterday or the day before and it was also doing ok, but the leaves where kinda wierd, im thinking maybe it doesnt get enough nutrients. Or maybe its the cold. Anyways, Ill try to get some photos of them soon.

I switched the 125w 6500k CFL with the 250w 2700k CFL and switched to 12/12 for about five days ago. One of the two Blue Mystics are confirmed female, with pistils shooting out. The other hasnt showed sex yet. I also started a Short Rider a few weeks back which has grown pretty slow, but in the last couple of days it has grown a lot more.

Here are some new shots of the Blue Mystics and the Short Rider. The shots are from two days ago.

 

Pistils from the female Blue Mystic.

 

Good news, both Blue Mystics are female!

People talk shit about nirvana seeds, but i got 100% germ rate on all seeds (including free), all the seeds have turned out to be beautiful, healthy plants and the feminized seeds worked perfectly. Still remaining to see if the Short Rider will turn out female though.

 

Thanks man. Yeah, you should do it if you know its possible. I actually got busted by my dad last week. He and my mom got divorced, and he had the room as an office before i moved in to it, so when he was gonna pack out his stuff from the room he found it. Pretty unlucky, cause i had already cleared that stuff out so the grow could fit in. But he didnt take it that bad. He just said "I didnt see anything." But stressed that if my mom busted me, it would be a lot worse. Im taking my changes..

 

Just came back from the woods and found out one of the plants are flowering! Pistils all over the place. This is going to be really interesting cause the few outdoor growers in my country haven't even started vegging outdoors yet. The plant has lots of tops due to LST, and its looking very healthy and beautiful so im super excited.

Im going to get some shots soon.
