First time grow-How am I doing?

  1. This is my first time growing anything ever. I started w/3 bag seeds and am using CFL's (6 daylight and 1 soft). There starting to take off so I am hooking up a MH and moving the CFL's to the sides of the plants using tripods.

    I have pretty much unlimited space, a temp controlled closet with a constant fan and a humidifer. Also I am using Fox Farm fertilizer...and just transplanted for the first time 8 days ago. Also I started with MG Seed Starter soil and then transplanted into a custom mixture of MG Organic and Perilite.

    Here's what I have at 16 days after sprouting...the one on the right has always drooped a bit and I dunno why. It seems very healthy though. It seems to come up at night time even though nothing changes. I have them on 24/7 right now. I'm very surprised how much they have taken off since transplanting and I think it has alot to do with the FoxFarm.

    I've been keeping a log by day with pictures which I plan on posting eventually.

    Anyways any feedback is appreciated/suggestions.

  2. Not bad for 16 days. You are doing things right. Keep it up!
     
  3. Thanks.

    Here's another pic from the top.

    Any suggestions on if I should do SCROG or another method? I plan on letting these veg for a while as I'm not in a hurry at all. I wouldn't mind letting them veg til they are 3-4 feet tall if I make it that far.

    I hope to just get them as big as I can. I wasn't sure if SCROG was the best route since I have unlimited space....or if there was a better method to enhance my yield.

  4. Hey dude she's looking nice :) alittle stretched so if you can put your lights closer (without burning) do so. Don't bother with scrog until you've started flowering but in the meantime start using LST :) get her flattened out. Goodluck man.
     
  5. Awesome. I'll def get em closer and read up on lst and start doing that. Thanks man.
     

  6. Yeh I've just started LST and it's working really well so definatly read up on it properly :) or if you have any questions shoot away.
     
  7. Been trying the lst as u suggested . What you think?

  9. Sorry I haven't responded until now. I'm actually wondering if I'm messing up my plants starting to look stretched. Any suggestions? I actually have it outside right now hoping that the sun corrects it maybe?

  10. Oh man she ain't looking happy? Don't put her outside then inside itl mess with her abit and she won't do so well, possibly even hermie. Only advice is get proper lighting and tie her to a support stick or something like that? Keep me updated :)
     
  11. Ok Ill keep you updated. It might be that they need watered today...I started using MH lights this week instead of just the CFL's since they were getting so big. And in just that amount of time I noticed alot of stretching....there still getting new growths...just looking stretched a bit. Thanks again.
     
  12. Yeh just move the lights closer then? :)
