BigW's First Grow Ever - 4 x WW - 600W HPS - Grow Tent 1.20m x 1.20m

Hi guys i'm new to the forums, this is my first journal and i would like to start of by saying hello to all of you rudeboys. :thumb:

The reason that I'm creating this journal is for me to be able to look back and learn from both my mistakes and what I did good. At the same time I also want to be able to get tips and tricks from you knowledgeable and experienced growers.

a little bit of info about my growing setup.

1 Dark Room II 120, 120x120x200cm
1 600w Gavita Digistar with 4 different adjustable Watt settings (300, 400, 600 and 660W)
1 Philips Green power 600w HPS
1 Cooltube armatur 125mm 49cm


I'm currently using 2 gallons smart pots for my babies. I'm planning to transplant them to a 8-12 gallons smart pots later on during the flowering phase. The soil I'm using is gold label special mix, the nutrition is also gold label mix.

I've germinated the seeds using the paper towel method, they were in the germinating process for 72h (didn't have time to plant earlier). right now I'm in the 4th day of vegetation and 2 of the seedlings have sprouted, unfortunately 2 hasn't sprouted yet, but I'm afraid i might have poured too much water during the first days so they might have died, but we'll see in the next couple of days, my babies are at the moment under 400w HPS

At the moment the 2 sprouted plants look really healthy and have grown about 3.5 inches.

I will upload pictures of my babies in a couple of hours.


:peace:

Im a bit worried that 2 hasn't sprouted yet, should I be worried? It has gone almost 4 days since i planted the germinated seeds.

Any tips on how to higher the humidity?

oh yeah my bad ! ha ha soz read the title just went over my head :) hey BW i'll gladly pass on any information as i have learned what i know as i have learned it from the great people here at :420: .
what i use to bring the humidity up is a large run off tray leave a towel half in it and have a fan blowing directly onto the damp towel(see my journal for pics) brought mine up from 30% i also filled up an empty pot full of soil and soak the soil in water,when i do this it takes my humidity up to 64% if you use the towel method i change the towel every week :peace:

Okay, so I had 50% success with my seeds. Only two of them sprouted, im almost sure I gave them too much water.
Other than that everything is going smoothly, I have been able to raise the humidity from 30ish to 40ish (thanks virgingrower :)). The HPS is now around 2 ft from the seedlings and they seem to be loving it. 27-28C.

I'll post some pictures today or tomorrow!

Peace

great stuff :) my seedlings loved the hps but watch out for it burning the leaves,i changed to a 400w mh bulb around 2 weeks into my grow after chatting to a grower on here SABO he told me that the mh bulb gives off a better light spectrum for the lil ladies,my girls have flourished under it :) and the MH bulb was real cheap well worth it in my eyes :)

cheers VG :peace:

Day 15. Sorry for not updating regularly, been busy working.

The plants are now in their third week (15th day since sprouting). I have topped the forth nod, hoping to get better yield since I am down to 2 plants. I have also started to feed the plants, and they seem to be liking it. Here are some picture updates! All pics from their 15th day!

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read the photo gallery tutorial: Photo Gallery Guide: How to Resize, Upload & Post Photos

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Thanks and hope all is well in your world.

Love and respect from all of us here at 420 Magazine.
