Although I have worked on other grows before, this is the first one I have done on my own. Budget was the only thing limiting me in this one but I have plans to grow my set up as well as my plants. I started with four Blue Cheese clones and one Purple Kush [all female] under three 26W CFL bulbs in a reflector hood. The hood was made from simple Home Depot parts and actually turned out very well. Instructions on how to do that are on youtube. All of the clones perked up nice under these lights except for the Purple kush which never rooted. I was and still am using Miracle Grow 60 day slow release that I flushed before using. In the end, I came to the realization that there was only space for two plants. I am now nearly a month into the vegg process [18-6 light cycle] and just transplanted my girls into 5 gallon buckets. After the transplant, one of the girls had a few droopy leaves for about an hour but quickly lifted it's leaves to the lights and recovered. I mist them 3-4 times daily and although I have seen mixed reviews, they seem to love it. Now that they have built a solid root system I turned the fan up a bit to strengthen the stem. One of them is about 14" and the other, about 12" and both very healthy. I had a bit of stretching going on and one of the plants developed a mass of smaller leaves around it's base. I am still a bit curious as to the cause of this. I will likely vegg for another month before switching to flower. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
