Hello all and welcome to my very first grow!
After careful consideration and research here's my setup:

• Nirvana Northern Lights Fem. seeds

• MrGrowPro PC Grow case
• 1 Gal GroPro Fabric square pot
• Build A Soil's "Living Soil"
• CFL Vegg: 23W Daylight(6500k) / CFL Flower: 23W Warm White(2700k)
  -92W total at any given time..4 bulbs

<span style="font-size:14px;">I intend on staying as close to organic as possible with any nutrient additions I may add in the future</span>


Thanks for stopping by! All input is always welcomed!

 

5/25 - Placed seed in glass of water for germination.
5/26 - Placed seed in 50/50 peat moss & perlite.(Seed was not cracked and didn't have any taproots when I placed in soil)
5/31 - Finally broke soil

Sorry for the dark photo..
\nI've already placed under my veg lights on 18/6 cycle

 

 

Thanks for the input.. I've thought about getting more light for the under canopy, just havnt figured out how or what type of lights.

But I came across this grow a while back and this guy pulled it off

Gna be transplanting today. I figured if I transplanted early before my root system grows out to the side of the pellet, I would minimize transplant shock & stress. I gna use my 50/50 peat moss & perlite mix to put around my seedling that way it has more growing to do before it reaching the nutrient rich soil.

Quick update..
 
So far it looks like she's going strong! I've been battling with my temps...had to turn down my A/C and bring my ambient temps down, hopefully that helps with the temps in my case, but now I have to walk around my house fully clothed...lol. So far it doesn't look like its affecting her so maybe its not that important.
 
There's a little discoloration in the leaves and new growth... not sure what that's all about but again doesn't look like its affecting anything. If this is something I should be worried about...im glad to hear some input and advice. I also got a fan on  her today to circulate the air and get her leaves dancing a bit. The fan comes on with the lights.
 
I'm realizing now that there's not too many changes this early...lol. I'm also planning on taking a clone and growing a little lollypop in a Solo cup for shits and giggles, and to get some cloning experience.
 
 

 

 

 

Going out of town for 5days..gave her a nice drenching to hold her til I get back...

I miss her already! Lol

Got back into town yesterday and man did she grow!!!! On the older growth, you can see that the heat problems I was dealing with earlier caused the leaves to grow deformed. All the new growth looks great so heat shouldn't be a problem any more.
 
I do have one question, if anybody can help me out....I plan on topping quite a few times and doing some LST. I want to get as many potential Bud sites as possible so I don't mind vegging her longer than normal. 
 
So my question is...when would be a good time to TOP her? I was thinking about TOPing her in the next day or so..or should I wait for a little more growth?? When did you TOP your little lady?
 
As always, all input is welcome!!! Hope you enjoy some porn!!

 

So why did you cut the fan leaves? And does it make a difference if I TOPed at the first nodes?

I want to add more light but there's no room at the top for more lights in my case.. I might be able to add lighting from the bottom for lower growth but I think LED strips are my only option. I contacted MrGrowPro to see if I can buy his LED lights or if he can tell me his source..no luck on both. If your familiar with his case, how would you add extra lighting.

I only have 3 bulbs in there now but plan on adding a fourth once she gets big enough...that's the max his case can hold on the power strip above the plant.

I thought about the small T5 too..the only one I found is 24" And my case is only 18" but I didn't think about fish tank lights...thanks for the suggestion. I will look that up tomorrow morning.

With the whole TOPing...I see most people don't cut the stem all the way down to the node..is that what I'm supposed to do or does it even matter?
