My First Grow

[dagermankid14]

I started off with 2 then a third one came up. So here is the start.

Week 1

Week 2 having some problem with ph. Got it back and going after a week.
Week 3 with the all, the big on is on week 3 and the others is week 1 - 1/2.

There starting to get purple steps.

 

[Cherma]

Purple steps?
Are the above on an 18/6 light cycle? What size of CFL's? Any particular strain?
What type of soil? fertilizers? Ventilation?

 

[dagermankid14]

Sorry about that. The big stem isnt purple just under the leaves. Light cycle is 18/6. My size of CFL's. 3 /30w and 3 /14w. Not particular strain just out of a bagseed just the buds I smoked a long time ago. Soil is Pro-mix with a little Peat Moss. For fertilzer I use is Dynamite plant food (Organic all-purpose) 1/2 strenth. Intake and Exhaust. Temp is about 76 all day long. Hum is around 65.

A lot of my seedlings look like that till they get bigger.

They look good to me so far

 

[Ms.Fox]

They do look very nice! What are your temps?

 

[dagermankid14]

Around 76.

 

[McBudz]

Looking good.

 

[dagermankid14]

Sorry but one more question. When i start to bud I dont want my hole house smelling like buds I mean it fine but when family comes over its a no no. haha. What the best way to do it. Im growing in a Freezer. Intake and Exhaust.

You'll need an air scrubber. In herby air out scentless air.

 

[dagermankid14]

Thanks Ms. Fox and Bee. I was think about carbon scrubber. Got to do some research and try it out.

 

[McBudz]

There's a small company on ebay putting out their own made active carbon filters and air scrubbers. Foothill Filters. Way less expensive then the ones you see in hydro shops. I am using one of 6" x 24" inch filters right now and I have some very very stinky plants. Works like a charm great quality. The charcoal is replaceable too and they will sell their customers refills at $3 a pound too I believe. So its really a one time investment. I paid $150 for mine shipped If i remember correctly.

 

[dagermankid14]

How often do you have to change it. Depends on the bud you grow I guess.

They say 18 months, but it all depends on how many stink particles it traps over time.

I had an Odor sok that I paid 80 for and it only work for a couple of months. But the active carbon in that thing pales in comparison to the can style filter. the one I have uses 12 pounds of granulated active carbon. The odor sok was an active carbon fabric. Very light weight. Worked well just not for long.

Thanks McBudz

humidity, temps and the amount of air/odor a scrubber has to scrub effects the lifetime of the carbon. most last about a year with small single room grows (6 plants or so) when run at optimum levels.

 

[dagermankid14]

Thanks McBudz. Today is the first day of 12/12 I decided I can't wait just need some to smoke

 

[dagermankid14]
