*** This grow is for my personal use only *** This is my frist grow ever. I am growing indoors using a 400watt MH/HPS system. I am using FoxFarm Ocean Organic soil, FoxFarm Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Blooms nutrients. I'm growing in a bathroom shower that has a window. I have a fan in front of the window when the light is on to bring cool air in. My temps average 70 with the light off, and 85 with the light on. The grow area measures 3' wide x 8' tall x 3' depth. My light is about 18-24 inches above my plants. I used the paper towel method for germinating my seeds. I am using two female seeds grapefruit and two female seeds white widow. Grapefruit will always be on the left, in my pics, and white widow will be on the right. I will update every 7 days. All 4 seeds sprouted on 9-13-06 Day 7 (9-20-06) - veg - 18/6 - 400 watt Metal Halide http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=47736&stc=1&d=1159302923 Day 14 (9-27-06) - veg - 18/6 - 400 watt Metal Halide http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=47737&stc=1&d=1159301979 Day 21 (10-04-06) - veg - 18/6 - 400 watt Metal Halide http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=48411&stc=1&d=1159985703 Day 28 (10-11-06) - veg - 18/6 - 400 watt Metal Halide http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=48905&stc=1&d=1160590999 Day 35 (10-18-06) - veg - 18/6 - 400 watt Metal Halide http://forum.grasscity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=49565&stc=1&d=1161198666
Looks good, but you might wanna think about repotting sometime soon. I''m pulling up a chair so keep those updates coming.
im gonna watch too, if you dont mind. they do look good nice broad leaves... mine sprouted on the 13th of sept and are relativly close in size to yours even tho i hve made some newb mistakes everything seems to be headed in the right direction. im on a bagseed grow with flouros, but this is a great comparison.
** Update ** 10-04-06 - Day 21 - (veg; 18/6; 400 watt Metal Halide) On day 15 I decided to transplant into these 5 gallon grow bags. I should've transplanted a lot sooner. They were rootbound and the soil was really loose and dry, so I had a bad experience with transplanting. And before I transplanted, my fan fell over onto my 2 white widows, on the right, and damaged a few leaves. So I transplanted them as best as possible. Fortunately they didn't seem to go into shock much. They are still growing fine. They are about 6-6.5" tall. I haven't given them any nutrients. I water with 400ml (13 ounces) of ph adjusted water every other day. The smell of skunk is getting a bit stronger by the day. *Pic*
Hey man I'm on my first grow 2! got a journal myself! We're using identical nutes, soil, and light! LOOKIN GOOD!
Thanks, Since this is my first grow, i'm gonna keep things simple. I have enough height in my grow area to let them grow without lst and stuff. If this grow goes well, then I may try all those different techniques.
Looks good so far. If your first grow continues progressing this way you will end up very happy. I have also pulled up a chair to the front row and I wrote my name on it so no one can steal my seat.
** Update ** 10-11-06 - Day 28 - (veg; 18/6; 400 watt Metal Halide) Well everything seems to be going well so far. The plants grew a lot this week. They are about 11-12 inches tall now. I haven't had to give them any nutrients; just water and light. I will let them veg for another week or two. *pic*
Looking great, I'm definately going to be keeping an eye on this thread, I'm considering my first, small grow, and I'd like to see how this comes along.
Hell yeah man that is some nice growth! You did your homework. Does your tiger bloom have calcium crossed out on it too? Just curious. If so be careful, calcium seems pretty easy to become deficient in.
I haven't used any nutes yet, but I just looked at my Tiger Bloom bottle and Calcium was crossed out. Why is it crossed out? Thanks all.
Looking good whodi, how mant nodes on those now that they are 12", Its hard to tell in the pics. I cant believe no nutes... thats amazing!
I believe I told you 12 in a PM last night, but I miss counted (i'm a noob to all this). It's about 11 now.
All i can say is Wow! Those girlfriends of yours are sure hott! Mayne, howd u pull that off with no nutes? Im using the foxfarm trio as well. Are you following the schedule or just staying away from it? Amazing grow so far. Gluck.
