I'm finding it difficult to keep all the advice I've been given in my head. By the time I've left the offrice and got home it's vanished. Thats why I have devcided to start this grow journal so I can turn on switch off and check the pc at home. Please be advised that I haven't started this journal from the beginning. It starts 24 days in from seedling. I will give you as much information along the way as I can. First some background. 10 seeds attempted germination. 5xNorthern Lights 5x Skunk Number 1 3 seeds germinated. Skunk Number 1 1 Seed never rooted and the other two made it to Nursery School. First week the two baby leaves appear and everybody cooo'ed and ahhhed. After the second week the second and third set of leaves had appeared. (all the time they were in a poly tunnel which is a plastic, 'glasshouse' to our american growers) It was time to get ready. My Grow rooms is 36ft+ sq feet witha total cubic volume of 288+cubic feet. It is situated outside at the back of my shed. (8ftx8ft, 10ft in the middle). I boarded the windows up with ply wood. Swept the floor, fitted a door and padlock then covered the wood with anti detective reflective foil. Next, up went the lights. 400watt sodium with reflector and monster ballast. I quick trip to the local garden centre equipped me with two 3ft x 1ft compost grow bags. Luckily for me ours have a natural, neutral ph balance. The lights were position at 3 1/2 ft above the seedlings and off we went. Next I will pick up the story 24 Days later. PLease feel free to comments and offer advice as you see fit. Knowledge is everything! Cheers Burdbrain.

Skunk #1¨ produces large buds with a very high calyx-to-leaf ratio. <o></o> <o> </o> Winner of several harvest festivals and "High Times" Cannabis Cup. Skunk #1 (75% Sativa, 25% Indica) was originally a cross between 25% Afghani, 25% Mexican Acapulco Gold and 50% Columbian Gold. Inbred since 1978, now a stabilized homogeneous strain. Blooms with long, thick buds, varying in color from light green to golden. Very high flower to leaf ratio. Soft and sweet aroma and a very strong "up" high. Excellent variety for indoor growing or greenhouse with darkening system. Very high yields. Easy to manicure. This variety serves as a standard against which others can be measured. Mold susceptible the last 6 weeks of flowering.

Tips of lower leaves sometimes die. Eventually entire lower yellow leaves die. <o> </o> Potassium - On sun leaves, necrotic patches on leaf tips and in patches throughout leaf. Leaves also look pale green. Old growth doesn't absorb nutrient and won't be affected. <o> </o> Sulfur - new growth yellows and the entire plant pales. Use 1 tbsp/gal of epsom salt. <o> </o> Magnesium - start on lower leaves which turn yellow leaving the vains green only. Growing shoots are pale green and if conditions worsen turn almost white. Use 1 tbsp/gal of epsom salt. <o> </o> Manganese - yellowing and dying of tissue between veins. Use a Fe-Zn-Mn supplement. <o> </o> Soil pH (a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the soil) <o></o> Soil pH is one of the most important soil properties that affects the availability of nutrients. <o></o> Macronutrients tend to be less available in soils with low pH. <o></o> Micronutrients tend to be less available in soils with high pH. <o></o> Lime can be added to the soil to make it less sour (acid) and also supplies calcium and magnesium for plants to use. Lime also raises the pH to the desired range of 6.0 to 6.5. <o></o> In this pH range, nutrients are more readily available to plants, and microbial populations in the soil increase. Microbes convert nitrogen and sulfur to forms that plants can use. Lime also enhances the physical properties of the soil that promote water and air movement. <o></o> Bille is looking healthy although he is showing signs of purple stem.

He seems to bushing more. These seeds are supposed to reach 1.2-1.5Metres in height under ideal conditions. <o> </o> I look at her stems again and decided that the purple discoloration must just be hereditary. I don't think its any thing to worry about at this stage. <o> </o> Bev leaves seem to be getting darker again. The whole process of the leaves turning pale is reversing itself, although the plant itself has not shown much sign of growing. Bev looks anorexic sat next to Bille. <o> </o> I took a ph reading of the soil this morning and as you can see from above its dropped to 6.6ph. Must check with grasscity to see if it needs adjusting?, however, I think it about right. <o> </o> I have lowered the lights as much as I can to their lowest point. This is 22inches above the colas. I might see if I can jack up the bench a bit to drop this by another 5inches. Make mental not to ask for advice. <o> </o> I'm considering installing a humidifying Radiator in the grown room to boost temp and humidity. Once again I'm going to ask for advice. <o> </o> Pictures of Bille and Bev taken this morning are available.
Are you using a digital thermometer? They are inexpensive and will give you max and min. Discoloring of the stems is also, an indication of cold. So a heat source will be good. Your humidity is just fine for now, infact it can go all the way down to 40% before you need to worry. I'd move that light closer, Also, It might be to your advantage to pick-up a MH Conversion bulb for your HPS light. It will make them grow faster. So what happened to all the other seeds? Give us the low-down. I turned my girls at day 27 of veg. You should be to the point where they are growing an inch a day. Don't water so often and you should not feed more than every other watering and its a good idea to flush periodically so that you don't build up to much salt.
Chimera. Unfortunately getting hold of an MH bulb is a little difficult. I live on a tiny island (3mx9m) off the coast of france. We have serious good customs and excise here and no "grow shop". Everything has to be imported. In these dodgy time everything gets checked by customs on the way. If I'm caught withs these 2 I'll get 18months chokey! Anyway, The radiator heater is going in this afternoon and I've got some sheets of ply wood to jack up my growing table to get them closer to the light. I'm just using a normal thermometre at the mo which is laying on the grow bay next to the plants. I just got impatient and planted the other seed before they were completely germinated. They just shut down. Hey-Ho. I'm going to take you advice and cut the watering down. They didin't get much water anyway just half a cup, enough to keep the soil damp. I'll be updating this Journal every day, with pics at least every 5 days. Keep you posted and thanks for the advice. Burdbrain ps apart from the size how are they looking to you?
Looks good check your temp, seems too cold As for getting a hold of an MH you should be able to pick up a MH outdoor security light or sign light at pretty much any hardware store. MH doesnt necessarily have to tip off customs that your growing, if you go out and order a specific Grow light naturally it will bring up a red flag for them, just simply order a MH security light or 2 (2x 150watts for instance) if you cant find it locally... Or is security lights also forbidden these days
LOL yes very.. Its the easiest option, MH is MH only difference is one is manufactured with a hood for growing (which most people dont use anyways and just hang them vertically over the plants) and one is made in a housing as a security light... Zero difference in Light Quality/Quantity. Usually comes out cheaper as well compared to buying a grow specific MH fixture.
So this is just a standard 150w security light we are talking about? and not a Hallogen? This is what I'm using Grolux 400 Watt Dual Spectrum Grow Lamp - 58000 Lumens
Ok so whats wrong with that light??? NOthing according to me so dont know why the suggestion was made for MH. you should be fine. But yes were talking about standard MH security light not the halogen type.

Installed a Duplex Radiator yesterday afternoon and stuck it too close to Bille. When I did my rounds this morning I noticed to my horror that all her bottom fan leafs had completely dehydrated to the point that they would crumble on touch!. There was no damaged to Bev. Maybe some one can reassure me that this is normal behaviour for bottom fan leafs but I'm not holding my breath. <o> </o> When I checked the Humidity this morning (6.30am) it had dropped to 44%. I have read that Bob Hope can tolerate Humidity down to 40%. I haven't taken any chances especially with the fan leafs of Bille going tits up. I have moved the duplex away from the plants and cut the heat from a maximum, 3 to a Medium 2. I have also sprayed the room with water using a plant sprayer to generate some humidity. When I'd finished my rounds the Humidity had crept back up to around 55%. <o> </o> On advise I have also lowered my rig from 22inches to 18inches and reduced my watering cycle from every day to every other day. Depending on the soil tomorrow morning I may push this out to every 2 days. <o> </o> Pictures from this mornings nightmare are attached.
SHIT SHIT SHIT. WTF.......my PH has dropped and Bille is looking really sick. Check out the pics. Her fan leaves have died and I've had to cut em off, hoping that the plant will use the energy to sort itself out!!!! I think the light was too close coz she's showing sign of bleaching. The humidity is back up to a constant 55%, and the temp is 75F. I've moved the heater away and dropped down the temp a bit. Bille was looking the strongest now shes looking sick as fuck. Bev is now looking the strongest. I NEED YOU HELP GUYS AND GALS. SAVE MY BABY PLEEEAAAASE. I've got an experienced grower coming round for dinner tonight so maybe he can help but your help is always appreciated. Burdbrain
They were 22inches then dropped down to 18. This morning I put them back up to 20. I did the heat on the back of the hand test and everything seemed fine. Not hot at all!
Far too hung over for a full report this morning. I have a big case of the CBA's (cant be arsed) so no table. Lets just say that Bille, my plant that up until 2 days was looking the strongest is looking very sick. I have some picture but I'll have to upload later. Her leafs are a dirty yellow colour and drooping badly. I tested the soil yesterday and it had gone very acidic. Not sure if I did the right thing but I found some Calcium and magnesium powder. I tested the PH and it seemed neutral so I put a bit on the soil and watered. I have turned the heater down (AGAIN) and moved it further away. I'm thinking that it might not be the heter as Bev, the Plant that initially looked the weakest is doing really well and given it close proxcimity to Bille why didint the heater damage her aswell. I have another grow bag so I'm thinking of doing a transplant with the sick to see if that helps.
I think Bille has got necrosis! Absoloutly footooo. Doing to dry a transplant this afternoo when I finish work. I've moved the heater and turn it down again. The ph was very acidic yesterday so I added some neutral Calcium and Magnesium powder. Was this the right thing to do I'm wandering.
I have the PH is neutral! Nothing seems to be working its fucked. The only thing I can think is to change thye soil? Any other ideas are welcome
first of all i think the area is to large, u need somewhere enclosed and compact, i know this is hearsay, also i think growbags are disgusting i actually have a phobia of them whats the tempature outside at night? you say u live near france? so obviously the nights are cold this time of the year, when do u have your lights on? night or day? and do you leave your heater on when the the lights are off? im thinking the plants are to cold when the lights are off hollar back
