New Here, First Grow, Progress With Pics.

Looking good so far!

What kind of growing medium is that?


Also, I noticed your fan placement. Is the lower one the intake?

 

Hi Gary! Welcome to the wonderful world of growing your own. My first question is what kind of growing medium are you using there? I've never seen that before. These plants need a very light and arid environment for excellent drainage. They do not like to have their roots sitting around in moist conditions all the time. Now I have no idea what that is you're using, but if it drains well and will support the roots of the plant, I suppose it will work. However, if there is no nutritional value to it, you'll be responsible for feeding your plants. Soil is about the easiest medium for the first time grower to use as it's more forgiving. Another tip and it's just fact....the better light you put over your plants, the better plants you'll grow and harvest you'll reap. This holds true in both the veg and bloom cycles. More light equals bigger and better buds. As a matter of fact, the size and density of your buds is directly proportional to how much good strong lighting the plants get while in flower. So while you're in the veg cycle, get as much light over, around and under them as possible....same thing when you get to flower. The CFLs work well for veg but are pretty lackluster for flowering off plants, so while you're working with the plant and getting it up enough in size, be thinking about what you'll use to flower with. I would go at least a couple of months in veg before flowering them. But, they do double or triple in size in flower if they have the light to support that, so you know what you can handle as far as size goes. Hope everything goes well and you're definitely hooked up with the right website if you have problems. Happy growing! TWW

 

Nice start man! When i see your box i can help but think about security. Have you done anything for the firehazard? And have you covered the cardboard box? Cause it can take humidity and that in combination with electricity isn't the best thing

For the rest you seem to do just fine, maybe just some more light and put your lights horizontaly. They givr much more light by the sides just a hint

It's only a hint but if i was you I would paint it white or cover it with a plastic foil. For the rest would take the lamps horizontaly and put a plate on the floor to catch the water

How much were you watering... I'm about where you are with my own plant

I use a calendar to keep track of feeds and water... Sometimes go 2 or 3 days without watering. Always check soil with your finger. If dry to first knuckle then water needed

What are those white specks on the leaves? Also is it soil or coco? If soil water good once and leave it 2-3 days
