My First Indoor Grow!

[Joebong]

Looking sweet. I was having the same issues with temps so I set it at 20/4 and set them to turn off at two in the afternoon so it would be warm enough not to drop the temp too much. The fans run at half speed with lights off too so it wont get cold as fast.

How did I miss this grow. Looking really good, I'm subbed now!

pic update, 15 days old!

one of my favorites...

experimented with a small dose of nutes with a few plants, this is the only one that reacted badly...flushed her out and she seemed to bounce right back

and the runt of the litter, can see a small amount of nute burn on her as well

Looks fine so far... easy on the nutes!

I second that, but I think by the little nute burn your plants got, you figured out they wont take it. I had to try as well and did they same thing. Your soil is fertilized already so I doubt you'll need to add any nutes for awhile, same goes for after you transplant into bigger pots. Either that or flush the hell out of the soil before planting them in it. Otherwise just add Ph'ed water and they'll be fine.

Looking good though...

I usually dont touch nutes until the 2nd or 3rd week. Plants are usually busy rooting.

24 days old today! all the ladies are working on their 4th set of real leaves and have a pretty steady growth now and also a nice pine/skunky smell in the tent. gonna have to set the carbon filter up soon. transplanted a few that were outgrowing the others, will move the rest to the bigger pots by the weekend. should be under the MH light by early next week. no nutes yet, but have fed some guano tea. im still on 18/6, should i shorten the day a little bit soon? maybe 16/8 for a week, 14/10 for a week then 12/12 when im ready to flower?

They're looking much better. Recovering from the nute burn nicely.

so went away for a few days and the girls had a great growth spurt while i was away! very very suprised when i got home. spending the next day or two setting up the 600w lighting system and carbon filter. will have some good pics to toss up then

 

[surf420]

one month old today!
14 of the 15 germs have made it this far, most everyone is transplanted into bigger pots. just put them under the 600w MH today but at half power for now. also shortened the day to 14/10, thinking about flowering in the next week or two

look ok for their age?

 

[Crower619]

Are you trying to contain height or you going all out an letting it sprout however tall they get?

 

[surf420]

not too worried about height, tent is 5'6. would like to keep the plants somewhere around 3ft by harvest

 

[MadMardo]

Things are looking great

 

[Crower619]

Right on I usually did like 2 weeks of veg an then straight to flowering an they were always coming out around 4-5 feet tall lol

 

[surf420]

so the biggest plant in the tent is now a confirmed lady!

hoping everyone shows signs of sex soon, actually hoping for a couple males so i can get them out of there and make some room in there, transplant and then time to flower!

hope my plants to grow that big crower, been in veg for a little over a month now, just switched to 14/10, and will be 12/12 in a few days

 

[surf420]

so switched to flower about 5 days ago, only 3 males out of the 14 plants. things are looking really good, switched to the HPS bulb. will toss some pics up in the next coupel days.
also starting to germ a few more seeds, will veg them untill these plants are harvested and get them into flowering, maybe a two plants from veg to flower every 2 weeks, get a perpetual grow going

is it too late to take a couple clones? have some really tolerant fast growing plants i would like to clone

 

[surf420]

hope everyone enjoyed the holiday!

heres a couple pics for the update. all girls, all showiung flowers, been in flower for just about a week, 600watt HPS, dimmable ballast only putting out 400 for now

 

[thatdudePA]

nice pics. I am a first-timer also and I have been vegging for 4weeks now. How old are your plants that you have budding? How long to you plan to bud for? thanks

 

[surf420]

vegged for about 40 days, half of that under cfl and fluro and the other half under the MH...not sure how long flower will be, i'll let the plants determine that, 7-8 weeks? are you switching to flower soon?

 

[thatdudePA]

Okay, I have been using CFL's only keepin them pretty low to the plants, I am thinking in about 2 more weeks I will begin budding. Did you see my pics, how do they look to you?
