Hows it going long time lurker but finally decided to register to, in all honesty, get some advice with my grow and hopefully become more motivated to keep better notes. Alot of helpful members here so decided it was time. Anyways down to the good stuff...
Unfortunately I couldn't start from the very very beginning but its not to far from it. I didn't have that much start up money to get everything I would have liked, so you will see my homemade tent is still very much a wood frame but I try to make it work. The lights I hesitantly decided on was the DS400 From Advance LED. I say that because everyone was trying to talk me out including local hydro store owner and the price didn't help justify anything, but after seeing results on here and weighing some of the benefits (electricity, heat, Thermal Imaging) I went for it.
Being my first serious attempt at a successful grow I decided to start some seeds I had laying around to go through all the "beginner" mistakes with those and not with the seeds I purchased. Again not a lot of startup so I had to make the best with what I could. Gave myself a $30 budget and came out with 2 fem seeds and a freebie & of course shipping.
I only dared to start the freebie after I got the Bag seeds to germinate. Freebie I recived was Power Kush
The seeds were placed in a room temp cup of tap water for a day then in between wet coffee filters placed in a zip lock for 1 more day and then finaly to a rockwool cube. After about 3 to 4 days my little orphan kids begin to hatch and where taken out of there humidity dome.....
Temps & RH During seed sprouting
This is my unfinished tent that still needs some....well....finishing
Unfortunately for me this damn light is really bright but my tent is incomplete so I sealed off the window....(just for now) from curious neighbors wondering why it looks like a ufo has landed in my room.....
After I say 5 to 6 days from hatching the kids were looking good
The Freebie Power Kush in the back there grew out kinda funky but I didnt wanna mess with it so I had to let it do its thing and hope for the best. The rest are all bagseed from some regs that come full of seeds.....poormans weed....but i dont descriminate gentlemen weed is weed to me i just gotta clean some more than others...lol
I also happen to plant some more bagseeds but in a egg carton as I didnt wanna waste all my rockwool on a practice run. As a result I ended having to transplant right away into some mini hempys I made outta small plastic cups I picked up at the corner store. so you can see there alot smaller then there rockwool brothers and sisters.
The mini Hempies where made with the traditional 75/25 mix of perlite/vermiculite and where going good for a while until along came another noob mistake...I decided to feed them way to early not knowing.......and now I have been trying to nurse these damn orphans back to health. I was having issues with my leaves curling down almost rolling into itself prior to the feed attempt.
I am using Blue Plantet Nutrients 3 part elite. I gave them 2ml of micro, grow, and bloom in a gallon of distilled water
And After The Mix
Seedling Mix
PH : 5.4
PPM : 154
According to BPN's Nutrient calculator I was feeding these girls
Have already Flushed twice since then with 6.0 distilled water
Only issues now are some leaves look pretty hurt, some have stoped creating new growth, edges curl up to light. I messed up pretty good but at least that was the purpose of bagseed, to iron out the kinks. Here they are in the Recovery room after a BPN attack, no suspects have been named as of yet....
Not all have been hurt by my mistake...
Some more than others
And then....The Unlucky
The Power Kush also made its little comback....
I just finished up my DIY fermenting yeast CO2 reactor but have yet to place it in the room. Fan blows directly on plants and my tent aint a tent yet
My plan is to do a 2liter hempy sog as inspired by 420fied grow, even made the 50 site aero cloner just waiting for clones......besides these orphans obvious health issues I also worry about how many is too many once i get the sog running....its only 1 light, although i though about adding 95w (300w rating) cfls for side light but just not sure. The tent is 3' x 5' but growing in a 3' x 4' space just leaving six inches on bothsides for unforseen events and any equipment. I can fit 50 2liters in this space but fear that maybe too much for one DS400 LED with suplemental cfl lighting.....
Anyways up all night putting this together
Hope its not too many pictures and will update with pics later today or tomorrow as new groth is already noticible in the healthy few but more spots on leaves emerging like the ones above. Could this still be from a nutrient burn or are they getting hunrgy yet? Thanks for taking the time and Checkin out my thread....hopefully it will come along well.
