Hi everyone, just starting off my first grow today. I am growing in a PC grow box in my attic as I have no room in the house and don't really want people judging me when they come to mine. My grow case is equipped with a single 125 watt CFL RED 2700 and a carbon filter. I started germinating my seeds two days ago but they broke through a lot quicker than I expected and I decided to plant them in the soil today. ​This is my first time growing so I would appreciate all the help I can get, will be updating this journal everyday few days. My setup - guess this is Day 3.
Just checked up the plants now to water them and it looks like the first plant has sprouted from the soil! Can't believe how fast it's grown already. Currently I am watering the plants every two days, I was wondering whether anybody can advise me how much water I should be feeding the plants each two days? I will be putting a thermometer in the grow box to check up on the temperature next time I check up. Day 5, my first sprout - sorry for the bad picture quality, will use a better camera in the future.
Im goin to keep an eye on this one it looks like a decent grow i have a pc grow to and im a first timer aswell your is lookin alot cleaner then mine though ill give you that! Im subbed aswell! Best of luck man!
Thanks Spacer, good luck with your grow! I hear the first grow is a huge learning curb anyway so mistakes are going to happen along the way - let's hope we manage to stay clear of a lot of them! Anyways, I checked up on my fellas today and it turns out my second plant has sprouted from the soil too! I'm so happy with the way things are going I managed to put a thermometer inside and the temperature is around 26.5C, if anyone can add to whether that is where I want to be I would appreciate it! I'm thinking of putting the plants into smaller pots tomorrow so that they don't outgrow the grow box - I will be updating with close-up pictures tomorrow! Both of my plants have sprouted from the soil on just Day 6!
Hi Leroy! Things are looking good. At first I thought that with a 125W CFL in such a small space you would have temps of around 40C ++, but since you report that the temps are low I guess you have very good ventilation. You will start the day count from when the seeds germinated not from when they were planted. I think you won't be able to grow two of them inside that box, unless you transplant them in much smaller pots. I would recommend to just leave one pot inside, in the current pot size and LST them from the beginning. Are these 2.5L pots? If so, until your plant is about 10cm or more, you should water them every 5 or 6 days minimum.
@[member="kakashigr"] Thanks the grow box is pretty ventilated with both the fans, however the intake fan stopped working today gonna have to think about fixing that later. I have also put my fellas in smaller pots now as I definitely don't want them outgrowing the box! When would you recommend I should start to LST them? @[member="spacer#420"] They are both Autofem White Widow buddy. Day 7 already! I repotted my plants and raised them closer to the light using books as I don't want the stems to stretch for the light too much - I'm really trying to achieve the minimal grow space possible. Both sprouts seem very healthy.
Hi everyone! My guys have shown good progress, however my intake fan has broken so ventilation isn't going to be as good as it was which is worrying. But I'm going to focus on fixing it in a few days. Everything seems to be going well, I'm just wondering when I should start LST and giving nutes to my guys. Here's a few pictures. Day 10 - All going well it seems.
My plants have started drooping and look dead, they are really dry! I can't get any pictures right now but can anybody help????
