Cmitch55 Single Seed Indoor Experience

Is it in Veg or Flower stage: Seedling
If in Veg... For how long: Just broke the surface last night at 3A.M
Indoor or outdoor: First Indoor experience
Soil or Hydro: soil
If soil... what is in your mix:Just some scotts for now will be getting some FFOF in the next few days
If soil... What size pot: Solo cup>1 gallon>3 gallon
Size of light: Cfl's
Any Pests: Hopefully not
How often are you watering: lift method when dry
Type and strength of ferts used: Sensi Grow part A for Veg Fox Farm for Bloom

looks good so far and good idea switching to FF soil. also do you have any way to test the pH of your water? its important to know.

Good luck friend!

Good luck friend!

I do not have a ph tester but I believe my tap water is quiet neutral. In my last grow I used only my tap water and never had a ph issue so we will see how it goes. I know I will have to invest in a ph meter eventually but I just spent my money on a big bag of Fox Farm Ocean Fresh soil and General organics nutrient line (I Know i Said i was using fox farm nutrients but I decided I wanted to go organic . Thanks for taging along I hope youll stick along for the ride. It may get bumpy at times but I promise it'll be fun!

Ok every one so this is officially Day 6 of the seedling stage and Little mandy looks to be doing pretty good. I know that the first 2 weeks of this grow will be pretty dull but I am looking forward for things to really start to get under way in a short while. but I have some updates for this grow

First off I did a little bit of shopping at my local hydro store and got the following

General Organics Nutrient line

Fox Farms Ocean Forest Soil

And here is an update of My little Mandy the Marijuana plant.

 

[Cmitch55]

Alright all journal didnt go as I expected as I ran into some trouble but I am back for more . Since then Mandy was removed and I have now restarted. This journal is changing a little bit as I will be doing it partially indoor and partly outdoors. Update time!

On April 15th 2012 I took my white widow seed and germinated it via the paper towel method.

On April 17th 2012 I found my seed had a small tape root showing and from there she went straight into my soil (FFOF). She is under a homade light fixture which utilizes 5 small blue spectrum cfls. The soil was watered well and seed stuck in about 1/8'. the solo cup was then covered with a half cut soda bottle to use as a makeshift humidity dome.


The plan is to veg this girl indoors untill the 2nd week of may. By then I will be ready to move her outdoors. Ideally I would like to take a clone of her and flower that but we'll see how things go. until next time

When I woke up this morning I found that the seed had broke the surface with the shell husk still on it. I waited untill around 8P.M to check and see progress. The shell husk has fallen off and the white widow is finally beginning to open its leaves to the light

And this grow is officially under way!

Ta-ta for now

I have a 2-day-old bagseed young'un in soil indoors. Gonna stick her on the balcony in a week or so.

I'm going to be using just FFOF potting soil - strickly organic grow and low-input as my very first experiment.

We are exactly 5 days from the time that the white widow broke the surface...I watered the soil completely the day before it went into the ground and haven't watered since because I don't want to drown her...She'll get another watering on thursday

Stay tuned we're just getting started!

The girl is doing good leaves are looking a bit waxy not sure what thats all about but im not going to worry about it all to much just gave her the first watering since germination and sprouting because the soil was really getting dry....I'm happy with her and can't wait till she really starts taking off...I will give her the first feeding as soon as she has 3 sets of true leaves

Thats all for now, till next time

The girl is doing well besides for slight burn and curling of leaves, which I attribute to the FFOF being a little to hot for seedlings. Here she is 11 days old from the time she broke the ground

C ya all later
