Hello all and welcome to my first grow journal On the 24th i started to germ 6 bubble beans using the paper towel method. All had popped by friday and were planted into there new home for a while All but 1 is above ground now and looking ok so far, there under 80 watts of cfl's for the time being. The soil is a mix of 1/2 potting soil 1/4 perelite and 1/4 vermiculite. No pics at the moment but will post some up soon peace
Hi Purilite and ibowl and thanks for stopping by Purilite, 80 watts will be ok for now and when the time comes i'll add another 80watt for during the vegging. Ibowl, I'll get onto some pics asap. I like to keep my cfl's a maxium of 2 inches away from the top of the plants then use lst to keep everything pretty level The space i've got for now is only 2sqft by 3ft high, there's a small desk fan blowing over the sprouts and lights. Thats about it i think, once my white widows have finished flowering the bubbles will be going into the flowering cab. I'm hoping for a decent female ratio, seeing as the 4 bubble i already grew were all male i'm hoping for atleast 3 females outta the 6 I think this journal could do with a splash of colour so here's a pic of 1 of my WW thats flowering at the moment Pic taken on day 12 of 12/12
lol no her and her sister are under 240watt of cfl's had 5 under but 3 were male. The seedlings are under 80 watts on 18/6 for now, that increase as they grow.
Time for an update with some pics Right 1st off the 1 that didn't sprout has now been removed as there was no sign of life lol. The other 5 are all doing ok so far. I haven't really done anything yet apart from water them and let them do there own thing Here's some pics of them on day 5 of veg, what'd you think? Peace.
Time for an update, Yesterday i add another 80watts into the cab, making it 160watts at the moment. All 5 plants are doing well. Still just water for them at the moment to.
those r some pretty girls man. you gave me some hope on using cfls. im on my first grow about the size of your seedlings using 2 smaller cfls.
hey busted, whats up? as you may remember, im also growing bubblegum under cfl's, my girls (fingers crossed) are about 3 weeks old. i dont think i have as much light as you though, only 120W. but theres so much mylar i think the plants are doing fine. itll be nice to compare. later
