    Alright so I have 3 sprouts with good leaf structure coming in.

    I have them under 3 13w and 1 14w CFLs

    :p I will be upgrading the lighting ASAP
    I also put them under a direct sunlight from 10am to 5pm everyday.

    Sound good or are they die out on me?

    Started on the 20th of Dec.

    Soil is a mix of Cow Manure 1/3 Local top soil 1/3 sand 1/3 with some humus.
    All drain well.

    What can I do to raise the PH if needed like a home remedy?

    First pic was taken today
    Thats my baby!
    First one to sprout leafs

    Second is my smaller weaker baby but with sun light got big today.

    3rd is my grow setup atm.
    this was taken yesterday before the 4th CFL
    But none the less 2 round Electrical outlets with the soil mix holding 2 sprouts (Great drainage!)
    and a Not sure what size gallon pot looks to be 2 gallon pot.

    Im going with only 3 plants till flowering.
    Then No matter how many females Ill only keep one (I do not stand by this statement!)

    4th pic is my weakest,A big boo boo today,Almost broke the stem!
    But it looks to be doing well.

    More to come :p
    :smoke:

  2. obviously you are aware you light will not be sufficent and you need to upgrade that asap. What is that your plants as in? Is that foil? If so I'd lose the foil. To lower my ph I use vinegar. Good luck
     
  3. Ah man they are looking good. Killer little setup lol a big boo boo eh? XD Sounds like some sexual term "Would you please give me a boo boo"
     
  4. Ah vinger!

    Yes the foil is coming down.
    Iam gonna get some Emergency blankets.
     
  5. Good deal Id hate to see you cook your plants.
     
  6. Thanks ,I was just reading up on the foil making uneven heating

    I will have new pics today
    I just need to start a grow log :smoke:
     
  7. here's my two cents, the soil sounds too heavy. You want the roots to get adequate aeration and some perlite or vermiculite would be great. Sand, not so much. I wouldn't add sand into my soil. The cow manure is good as long is it ain't fresh cuz that is too much for the plants to handle. The other guys already did you good by advising against foil and that you need way more wattage. The minimum wattage cfl i'd bother using is 26 watts. Anything less is just not going to give you any kind of substantial coverage. Good luck :eek:

    Wooo what a day :D

    Alot of upgrades.

    The new girlfriend took me too wally world for upgrades

    A simple timer
    A big power strip

    Got 3 y splitters
    6 26w CFL bulbs.

    Fixed up 10 more light sockets for use

    Down to 2 plants.

    Last night a CFL light slipped just a bit and started burning the plant at night.

    In the morning it was toasted

    In total 12 lights will be in here
    6 13W
    6 23W

    Also will be changing the soil when I upgrade buckets for now it drains well and they seem to have good structure.


    Will post pics soon.
    :smoke:
     
  9. sounds good :smoke:
     
  10. Alright! Timer works.

    The lights went out at 12 on the dot
    Back on at 6am

    sunrise is around 7:15 every morning

    Then out in the sun from 10am to 5pm
    Will get some pics.

    My first baby is going into second node!:smoke:
     
  11. To RAISE the ph with a home remedy, try baking soda ..........vinegar will LOWER ph.
    You can also add dolomite lime to your soil, which will raise the ph of the soil, if indeed it is acid. I wanted to catch you before you lowered, rather than raised your ph by using vinegar.

    Also, Myles is right on with his advice about vermiculite/perlite added into you soil for drainage. It makes the soil lighter and airy, which helps the root zone become more oxygenated. After watering, you displace stale air from the root zone, and as the soil dries, it pulls fresh air/oxygen back in. Roots love oxygen.

    Good luck on your grow my friend!!
     

  12. Thanks, for the advice its all put to good use.
     
  13. Any update on these??
