New Grower & It's A Guess Grow!

[WillysMom]

I'm a new grower and decided to germinate 4 new seeds! Well, I put them in water until they sank and then planted in my rooter cubes and put under lights. We have a Girl Scout Cookie, Iced Widow, Cherry Bomb and White Castle:

I was very careful about labeling these girls. I planted them 2 days ago and just mist a few times a day. Well, today I noticed something awful:

All the labels are smeared...so this has become my GUESS the GROW! Bummer, huh?

These are the 4 girls, in a Costco chicken carrier, which is great for seedlings! Why are my pictures sideways?

I figured it out.

Too bad you didn't snap a quick pick when you placed the labels. C'est la vie. It'll be a surprise now! Just look at it as the first thing you've learned from experience this grow.

Jayne, I know, Right!! I have a couple other grows going on but they are all the same strain.... here's my shower grow with Blueberry Autos:

and my closet grow with Northern Lights in 23 days of flower:

So those are coming along, but will I ever be able to figure out my mystery grow?

The girls were born today - Saturday, July 16!. That was my dads birthday and he had 3 girls~

 

[WillysMom]

The girls, at two days old, moved into a larger crib -- I have called them Eeny, Meeny, Miney and Mo.

Thanks! My grow started in my closet after I cleaned it out and donated clothes...then of course, I needed a place to veg once my girls went into flower, so the shower got nominated. I'm looking into some grow tents so I can get my master bath and closet back -- but then I will lose a bedroom that I use as an office. Choices!!

Haha , I love your priorities! I managed to get this huge metal cabinet from my work but it has issues with humidity being made of steel. I'm going to be scouring the web for a tent soon myself

I emailed Gorilla tent last night and tried to get a discount for buying 2 tents. They said no! Gee, I wonder if another manufacturer would like to do business with me?

Had some humidity issues in my closet and ended up buying Damp Rid at Home Depot. Worked!!

Hey Willysmom, mind if I sit in for a watch. Looks like this could get good. Check out Mars hydro tents, good prices and good tents. By the way, your ladies are looking good. KIG

Hi Densenug! I will check out the Mars hydro tents. I kind of want my closet and shower back...although it's so ideal to have a sink so close to the family. I will do an update on the 4 babies this weekend when they are one week old!

As your mystery girls grow someone will probably come along and take a guess identifying them.
I never thought of using a bathroom! I have 2 that I never use. I should get some lights ordered. I'm looking at tents as well but not sure what to do. I'm rough on zippers so I'm leaning GG. Mars Hydro has some LED lights I'm interested in. Their tents are priced well with a discount for two plus Sara will send you a code for another little discount. I like that they are looking to improve some things and they seem to listen to growers here.
Good luck with your grows!

Hi! If you're not using one of your baths, why not! I hung a thick pole on the top of the shower to hang the light (Mars Hydro 600). The white tiles do a great job of reflecting the lights. I use this for veg because even though I did as much light-proofing as I possibly could, I think there may be small light leaks in the room. The only issue I have is getting in there....but I guess you have the same issues with a small tent. It's good to have 2 areas... one for veg and one for flower. Yes, I saw the deals Mars has and it's a very good price.

Love the names haha. Kind of exciting to see how they develop without any idea which is which. I'm subbed.

Yeah! A plant "whisperer"!! They will be a week old Saturday, so it may be awhile, but glad to have you around for the grow! Please chime in with anything you think I'm doing that could be improved upon since I'm a newbie and going by what I've read and the seat of my pants!!
