What's up guys, This is my first post. Thank you to everyone else who's posted their grow journals and contributed tons and tons of info that have helped and inspired me to grow my own for the first time. I'm a poor college student and growing mainly for the experience and fun. Growing a bagseed from Dynamite grown in St. Louis. I'm using 4 42 watt CFLs and 2 26 watt CFLs. Miracle grow organic soil, and mg nutes in a 6 gallon bucket running 12/12. I don't know the separate nutes NPK's off the top of my head, but i had three seperate ferts from sprout to where we are as of now. I jumped into this like a bird trying to fly for the first time...but thanks to gc, all is well now and i have lots of pics to show you guys the grow and get you all up to date. Ill put the rest of the pics in another post. her name is Diane btw Check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks for checking it out. the pics- 1-her first home 2-early veg/obvious probs/new 6 gallon pot 3-early veg/obvious probs 4-i got excited for branching 5-so i wanted to top it...i tried. after a couple days i saw two new things growing up. i later learned that these were perfect and were my two new stems. at the time i thought i just didnt top it right and missed some....so i took those off too. woops. this was the result. 6-coming along nicely 7-a day in the sun 8-top view 9-its a girl! 10-hooray pistils
the rest of the pics. all of these are how she looks right now. the bud was a little inspiration for her to live up to. we got it from a buddy in CO. yes...that nappy cardboard/foil/boxfan rig is the setup. its bunk...i know. but I'm trying.
haha and i thought i was cheap. my whole set up costs about $70ish usd. and actually i bought seeds from attitude seed bank. i bought all auto flowering ones and it came with some free seeds, its on its way as i type. i dont know how to make a signature yet but i will be making an indoor grow journal right after this and will put a link in my sig. i got 4 seeds for like $60.30 once again usd. and i ordered the seeds, a t shirt and i ordered extra stealthy and had them put it in a dvd case. t-shirts i heard were actually pretty decent, like you could potentially wear them around lol. as far as your grow goes, good luck, if it isn't finished yet. (i didnt look at date, oops lol)
Hey man. Great job. I'm a poor college student too so i get it m8. Grats on your first grow, things will just keep getting better and better from here. Best of luck to you.
nice lookin plants man not bad at all.... i would recommend tryin to find a way to seal off all light escaping.... cuz if it comes out it will come in.... and that could send ur plant a hermie.... and that would suck. i know how it is being broke tho man i raise 5 ppl on 8.50 hr....lol. But i hit up some computer stores for the first box i built and picked up 2 80mm fans for free. i got the box i used from next to a dumpster lol. the first box i built cost me like 15 bucks... home depots has 27 watt cfls in both 5500k and 2700k the 5500ks are like 2.97 for a two pack and u can get a 12 pack of the 2700ks for 12 bucks... it didn't cost me much for my first box and it worked pretty good. just keep ur eyes out everywhere u are for stuff u can use.... u would be suprised what u would come across.
thanks doc, the box is in my closet which is sealed off from escaping light, 100% black as the inside of a cow. heres the update! day 18 of flowering. lookin good the pics 1-top view 2-bud sites 3-side view 4-up close, zoom in on it! 5-got a new luke wilson shower head ash catcher, on my dirty 18" pure with another little ash catcher 6-on my roommates double inline bub
to anyone paying attention, sorry it took so long for the update. lost the charger to my camera here she is though-day 37 of flowering. shes got some burnt tips on some leaves. i know im not over watering, and certainly not over nuting. havn't added nuts since i saw the burning about 10 days ago and wasn't at full strength. temp is around 75 in the day and 70 at night. i'll prob just drop the nuts all together and just let her keep doing her thing. suggestions? pics- 1-one of the main branches 2-a lower bud 3-bud sites 4-another main branch top 5-thriched out lower buds 6-mixed up a ball of kif and oil and then rolled it in kif...it looked like a goddam fish. 7-kill a fly with your bare hands? try your feet.
Did you flush it out with water 2 times after you saw the burning.. i read that you sould flush about 80% of the water 2 flush then flush the remaining 20% a few hours later.. dont know for sure but just thought i would let you know what i think..later
thanks syck, I flushed once, but not twice. she's due for a watering tomorrow. should I go for it then? I don't want to overwater...
well we got a note in our mailbox today that said the landlord was coming in our house in two days. this put me in a pickle. i think she was just about done. i wanted her to go about one more week, but better safe than sorry. so i went ahead and chopped her today...figured today was as good a day as any wet weight came out to 79.8g. ill throw some pics up later when i get a chance. need to get back to celebrating. happy holidays gc
