planted 7 reg blueberry northern lights and 2 feminized pineapple express. 1 died, 1 is dying, rest seem to be thriving. planted seeds exactly 2 weeks ago. damn camera is broken somehow and won't focus but here's a basic idea of what i've got goin on right now. i'm gonna need advice so feel free to make suggestions
So far so good mate. What's your plan down the road? How much and what kind of lights will you use? Soil? Nutrients? pH and odor control? I only ask because it's really important to have a well thought out game plan for these things, and since cannabis grows (and dies, if not treated well!) very quickly, you'll have to make adjustments on a daily basis and if you're not well prepared there is a real possibility this might not come out very well, which is always an unfortunate thing after all the time spent. So far they're looking good, but within a week you're going to want some more lights. Good luck!
I need to build some sort of lighting rig soon, because they all need to be transplanted. i'm keeping them in their jiffy cups and transplanting directly into larger containers (not sure if they are 2 or 3 gal but i already bought them) i have in total 12 105 watt cfls. 6 of these are 6500k for vegging and 6 are 2700k for flowering. using miracle grow organic soil right now, haven't bought the soil to transplant yet, not quite sure what I want/ can get from somewhere like home depot. I'm running a humidifier which keeps the room around 50% and the temp usually flucuates between 65 at night to 75 to 80 during the day. my thermometer broke a few days ago so i need another one of those and i was thinking about investing in a ph meter. just been using tap water so far, letting it sit out for a while first to try to evaporate the chlorine. haven't bought any nutes yet... tell me how i'm doing.
Sounds very reasonable for sure. As for the CFL's, are those 'actual watts' or 'equivalent watts'? If they are actual watts, then that'll be enough light to grow some SERIOUS plants, with amazing yields. But if they're equivalent watts, look at how many actual watts those lights are putting out because you may want some more for 6 plants. Depending on their size, you'll want somewhere between 100 and 200 actual watts per plant. I'd definitely invest in a pH meter or some pH dye indicator solutions. Typically adding nutes to water will lower the pH significantly, so you'll need some way to measure pH to know how much "pH up" you need to add to get it to 6.3-6.8. Good luck!
here is a link to a thread i posted in sick plants about some yellowing i've got going on. also shows my new lighting rig and transplanted plants http://forum.grasscity.com/sick-pla...gro-plants-2-wks-old-yellowing-1st-timer.html
