Hey there
Starting out here with my first grow, been self medicating for years just trying to see if I have the green thumb.
As I'm not too worried about actually making it to fruition the first time I'll be experimenting with some stress techniques to see and learn how these plants react.
Here's a little info before I post some pics
Growing in a Hempy bucket 3:1 perlite to vermiculite. Day old tap water and gh flora grow + floralicious for veg right now. Alternating feeding and plain water.
Waiting on my pH pen so no pH information as of yet, and the seedling does show some signs of struggle I think so it can't get here fast enough
Started with 1 42wCFL and now I'm up to 2. 6500k only so far.
I'm at day 16 from seed and things are looking decent. Did my first top but some may say I was a little early.
Hoping to grow in the mainline style with 8 tops but will play by ear.
My final veg set up will probably be a 200w sun blaster CFL and the two 42w for some side light.
Not even close to flowering yet but I'll be seeking some information on my set up. .. probably next post I'll outline my details for the flower lights.
Oh yes plants are in a closet with a small 6'' fan blowing on the lights with some residual air making the leaves dance a bit
Being my first grow I was surprised how these babies grow so quickly.
Now onto the good stuff
Last pic is after topping and removing all other growth, first step of 'Main-lining' or 'Fluxing' the plant. Since that pic I have filled the grow bucket to 1 inch from the top covering the growth that was removed with my perlite/vermiculite mix.
Hope to hear some comments, suggestions, solutions, or anything y'all have to say about my little experimental grow.
