My first grow! Any and all advice welcome

Discussion in 'Indoor Grow Journals' started by whackyac, Mar 30, 2016.

  1. So this is my first grow. I have one plant currently vegging under 6 23w CFL's in my closet with a light schedule of 24/0 and I have 3 other seeds germinating currently. (1 La Diva auto, 1 California Snow auto, and 1 Cash Crop auto) I also have a Strawberry Kush seed in the mail that I am going to germ once it gets here.

    I have a 4x4 grow tent that will have a 400w HPS light in it, but my light wont be here until tomorrow! Super excited just hoping I have enough to manage heat. The seedling that I'm currently have vegging is around 2 weeks old (sorry Im starting this grow journal 2 weeks late!) I have kept up with pictures since day one though so you guys wont miss anything. All advice is welcome. I definitely need some guidance.

  2. So I got my 400w HPS light today. The temps are staying between 77 and 79 for right now. Hopefully it will stay this way. IMG_0790.jpeg IMG_1494.jpeg IMG_7167.jpeg

  3. Love your setup man. Plant looks good too. I'll definitely be watching your grow, I'm currently in my first grow and I started about two weeks ago also! Your setup shits on mine but it will be cool to compare and contrast our plants.

  4. Awesome! I just subscribed to yours.
     
  5. I have dimmed the ballast to 50% and the temps are staying at around 75 now. I had 3 seeds germinating in cups of water but my cat knocked them over and I didnt realize for like 10 minutes and they started drying out. I transferred them quickly to pots right when I saw them. Hopefully they make it!

  13. Will do, am I using LST correctly? And I'm not sure I will have to check today. Last night I didn't see anything

  15. Looks fine but I would counter that first bend with one pulling in the opposite direction. This way the stem goes straight up then bends over. Not sure if it helps make anything better I just do it to keep things neat. But you're looking great!

  16. Thanks!
     
  17. It's not absolutely necessary to top her if you do good lst

  18. I may not since my tent is 7 feet tall.
     
  19. Got a new CFM Pro 8 inch inline fan today. The decibel rating is 54. It's really quiet for an inline fan. I like it

  20. It's 720 CFM and my grow tent is only 112 sq ft. I may get a fan speed controller
