Hey everyone I'm new here!! anyways i woke up again at 5am and couldnt go back to sleep, so i smoked a bowl and decided to post my grow that i am about to get started. i have grown once successfully before and it was some pretty good shit i made a lot of mistakes that i have learned of and done more research on so now attempting to do a micro grow until i get a big space to grow in, so i might be doing more micro grows before that. I'm going to be posting regularly ... ill try to be more involved in this awesome community! ok so some info on my grow and we can get to some pictures! ill be using some bag seed i found from one of my pickups (im pretty sure he grows it himself) it is a nice black seed the strain it was from was headband according to him but we will call it bag seed. The soil im getting and using threw the whole grow will be ffof what do you guys think will this be worth it or would there be something better to use in my situation my PH ill try to keep between 5.9-6.5 ill be buying a ph test soon i have a mid tower pc it's really small the dimensions are some thing like this W:6.5in H17in L:13.5in im going to veg for one week and put it in flower because i do not have to much space im not using any nutes in veg but ill be picking up ff tiger bloom for flowering later im vegging under 3 23 watt cfls for one week 2 of them are 5500k and on is 2700k after a week ill make it 2 2700k and 1 5500k and later on in flowering when i start to see the sex im going to buy one of those bigger cfls 140w or something like that the long ones and just have that one going but for now this is all i got. hopefully i make sense im high as shit right now does anyone know if this is right, i still have my psu from the the computer i just cut it up and stripped all the the wires that i think i need i already have my fan working i just need to make everything permanent anyways, in the psu i have a green wire that ground it connected to the case of the psu so ll just leave it there i guess and than i have a blue and a brown wire... im pretty sure is brown is hot right? i want to attach my power strip to the psu so i can use the original cable to power my lights and ill plug my fans there too. ok here is the finished product here are some temps im running on all night tonight to see whats good and there it is almost ready to be used tomorrow ill be fixing all the light leaks to make more stealth ok so hopefully me seed i put to germ pops soon and i can get it started! peace out for tonight ... im gonna go get high
I've never done a micro grow so this is all new to me and I can't give any advice. But I'll watch with interest.
@thebeez84 yes!! most deffinatly scrog and lst ill be posting pictures of the final grow case in an hour or two when i get home.
DAY 1: (seedling) ok so im back and 2 days ago my seed popped.. in like 36 hours and then next day which is today i out it in some soil i have left off from an outdoor mix thats in my garden so ill start it off in that. the cup had been in the box for about an hour now and under an 18/6 light schedule. ill see how it grows and that will help me determine when ill start ti flower it but most likley ill start to flower end of october maybe later it depends. ill be going to the store this weekend and hopefully get the ffof soil maybe the ff trio nutes and a ph up and down also a ph test kit... (havent had time yet ) the temperature doesnt go under 69 but it gets up to 86 right next to the light i have an exhaust fan going and an intake the air flow seems to be good but heat is going to be hard to manage i might stack the exhaust fan.. not sure yet. im trying to keep this relatively cheap and simple and using a very minimum amount of space but giving the plant max attention ok so here are the first pictures : in this picture i used garbage bag and cut it to fit to light proof the sides. allright well thats it for now ill try to post at least once a day and update with some pictures! let me know what you guys think.

Hey, I have a very similar setup, I'm combining LST and ScrOG on a revegged plant. I'm convinced this style of growing is entirely sustainable if you train your plant properly. I pulled 44g out of this case on the first harvest, and I hope to be getting even more around new years day, all with the same plant. Cannabis gives back all you give to it and more, practice patience and loving-kindness and it will transform you in time.
Day 3(veg): yesterday ok so i was worried it wasnt going to sprout but that was just me being impatient so yesterday it did sprout which is the third day since i put the germinated seed in the soil under an 18/6 light schedule. im going to start since today is day 4 ill post newer pictures once the lights turn back on an update with a day 4 im just doing a picture for every day atleast so here are some pictures yesterday noon ok so here are my temps and rh i thing that in the case since the thermometer is so close to the light and since its in a black housing i think that the thermometer is heating up and being very inaccurate because it not to hot in there i have an exhaust fan by the lights and a intake in the middle on the other side so air flow is very good. does anyone have any experience with that acu-rite thermometer? and do you guys think that that im right about my problem? (sometimes it me that the high was 95!! and when i open it shows that its like 85 or 81 it fluctuates a lot.) ill be posting day 4 updates later today
i found a very interesting post that made me very interested in this and i completely agree with you that in a small space if everything is done correct and with care that these beautiful plants can be very giving. heres the post that i stumbled upon its just crazy let me know if you seen this before. here are his pictures these are not mine also @[member="sartrewasright"] what size containers did you use?? and how long did you veg your plants?? here is the link http://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/399652-two-23w-cfls-43g-yield.html
Day 4veg) so it getting a little bigger cant wait for her to grow up those little little leaves so the baby is like maybe 2 inches maybe less away from the light what do you guys think is this ok? let me know what you guys think
So im back for update time!! Day5(veg): so the first set of leaves should have been our by now but one of the cotyledons has fallen down yet so on leafe is kind of stuck but ill give it a couple more days. heres some pictures Day6 (veg): so the leaf is getting bigger but still the other one is still stuck but it getting somewhere what o you gyts think it seems pretty funky.
Just gently pull it apart lol I've had to do it a couple times as well To imbed photos directly upload them to GC or photobucket then right click on the photo and click copy image location. Then come in here and click on the image with the plus sign next to it. Paste the URL into there and bam, full sized images. Make sure you re-size them accordingly. Edit: If the cotyledons are grown together like mutated then I wouldn't try and unstick them but if you can see two distinct leaves then go for it.
