Ok. I will start off with my setup.

I have a 400w HPS

the others never popped.
I have no idea what happend but I am waiting on one more to pop

already on top of it.
i just edited my first post

 

[Ms.Fox]

Awwww! I love when they first come out. They're so cute.

So you're veging with a HPS bulb?

 

[young budz]

yeah. i was told that you can use the HPS throughout the entire grow.
so far it's working beautifully.
haha.
the on thing I keep saying to myself is
"HOW MUCH LONGER?!"

 

[StonerGrower]

You can use an HPS for veg...Its recommended you use a blue/green spectrum, but an HPS will still work. Since your only using an HPS I would look into starting a 12/12 from seed, or a perpetual harvest grow.

 

[young budz]

why a 12/12? isn't that flowering time?
and what is a perpetual harvest grow?

 

[StonerGrower]

No Mercy Seeds 12/12 Hours 7 Harvests a Year System
What is the Perpetual Harvest Propagation Method?

Check it out!

 

[young budz]

i swear to god
you all are the nicest people in the world

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ Awww that's so nice. Thanks!

LOL! I was just looking for the same thread StonerGrower just posted.

I'm glad things are going well for you. I can't wait for more pics!

 

[young budz]

going well?
haha
I lost 7 out of 8 white widow seeds for an unknown reason...
but other than that
i guess I'm ok.
i'm trying to get my camera for my birthday from my wife
so the pictures can be better quality
if not,
this camera still works.

 

[Ms.Fox]

so far it's working beautifully.
ha ha

Lol, you must have been joking. ;-) Sorry.

 

[young budz]

no. i'm not joking
the one plant that actually popped
is working beautifully.
the ones that didn't... well that's why god made cloning.
:-D

 

[young budz]

I took 2 more pics
because I didn't think the others were cutting it.
here they are.

 

[StonerGrower]

^ Try again!

What does your soil consist of?

 

[ColoradoMMJ]

I thought this was a hydro grow?

 

[young budz]

it is. It's Organic Soilless Grow Substrate
"Blended with select ingredients:
Perlite, Coir fiber, worm castings, pure blend compost accelerator, agrimineral 76 silica clay, polymere hydro-crystals."

 

[young budz]

guess who decided to pop her head out?
my 2nd ww!
:-D

 

[young budz]

I just changed the water in my reservoir
but not before it watered the big plant one more time.
the big plant didn't like the water and kinda looks like she's pissed.
do I have anything to worry about?
here's a pic of it after the watering.
The small dots on it are water drops.
I misted it with regular water after it got it's nutes.
it brought it back up a bit and looks a little healthier.

maybe i'm just being paranoid.

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ Nope, I don't think you're being paranoid. Looks like a problem to me. I'll let someone more experienced have a go at it, though.

I figured you may have just had a real early starter on your hands and more would pop out later. Congrats! I hope its a girl!
