Hello,
Well this entry is a long time coming. But we figured late is better than never. We are excited about this grow and we definitely need and want as much advice you guys have. We have been on the forums for a few months now and we have read several of the journals and we have even had some help with our plants over on the FAQ's forum.
We are excited for this grow and probably just a little more excited about starting this journal. My wife and I have no one to share this experience with because we trust no one and we think these forums are a perfect outlet.
And finally before I get into the meat of this entry I have to give a great special thanks to my wife because without all of her help this grow certainly would not be as successful as it is now.
Now for some substance...
The setup:
22" x 22" x 44" home built cardboard grow box lined with milar.
We have three (3) unknown strain (bag seeds) plants.
Using (3) 2 1/2 gallon buckets.
Two plants are 32 days old and have been in 18/6 cycle for 13 days. (We are calling them 1 & 2)
One plant is 31 days old and it has been in 18/6 cycle for 13days as well. (We are calling this one 5)
We currently are using 6 CFL's. 4 CFL's are 100W equivalent 6500k spectrum with 1600 lumen each. 2 CFL's are 300W equivalent 2700k spectrum with 2600 lumen each, we are planning on buying two more for flowering stage.
We have a 4" inline exhaust fan attached to a 4" Viagrow carbon filter.
A small fan for circulation.
Trusty hygrometer.
And we are using all Organic Super Soil with a ratio 3:1 soilerlite.
Back ground info:
Since we are so far along with the grow we felt that we should give you guys a little bit of background on what has happened so far...
Well to start with we germinated 6 seed. 1 through 4 were planted in soil 32 days ago. 5 & 6 were planted 31 days ago. Mostly because of bad genetics (probably because we are using bag seeds) we lost 3, 4, & 6 in less than a week. 5 is currently the largest but had a rough start. When it was a seedling it started growing root up and we had to fix that as soon as we saw it. 1 & 2 started out strong and doing well. They aren't in the best of shape but they are coming back from over watering. Thanks to FAQ's forum for the help, we fixed that problem the other day.
So now after that 5 or as we like to call her, Johnny 5, is huge and doing very well and much larger than 1 & 2. But like I said earlier we got some help in the forums and they are bouncing back just nicely.
Well I guess that is enough talk and we are sure you guys are looking forward to some pictures.
So here we go...
Here are some early pictures from the beginning when they were little seedlings:
First some of the setup:
#1 at about 10 days
#5 at about 9 days
Ok now for some recent pics and some taken today:
These are of #5 a couple days ago:
Some pic of 1 & 2. They look bad in these pics because of over watering but they are looking better now:
As you will see we have groomed 1 & 2 and they are looking much better today.
Ok now for some pictures from today:
First off #5 we call her Johnny 5. LOL! :
5 has new growth leaves that have 9 points and several already have 7.
Ok now for 1 & 2 pictures from today:
Finally all three plants:
Thats all we have for pictures now but we will have plenty in the future. Any tips or advice will be very much welcomed and used. Thinking about using LSD and definitely need help and advice on doing this correctly.
And we would like to say thank you in advanced for all of you help, advice and encouragement.
CHEERS!!
