Weedbrothers - Grow Journal - CFL

[weedbrothers]

Thank you for checking out my grow journal. This is my first time growing medical marijuana. I will keep this thread updated on a weekly basis with photos. Please share any advice you may have, i'm a quick learner and a good listener. Thank you again for checking in!!


I decided to go with CFL because of several reasons:

#Affordability - This is a low budget grow.
#Environment - My grow room is very small and it gets very hot in the summers.
#Availability - CFL lights can be found locally and i have seen some growers pull off some great yields with CFL.
#Experience - I have a lot to learn and i figured this is probably the best way to approach it based on the circumstances.

1x Pineapple Express Auto by Barneys Farm

I have noticed that the leaf on the left (check the image close-up) have some yellow spots. I'm not certain what that could be, if you may know feel free to help me identify what the potential problem could be.

Hello and welcome to

I can't really help you with the yellow on your leaf without a close up picture, the picture above doesn't show much of the plant at all. A couple of things I will say is that, 1: 3x 175w CFL's is overkill for a new seedling and, 2: More lumens are emitted from the side of CFL bulbs not the tips. You could easily get away with using one of those bulbs held horizontally over the top of that seedling

 

[weedbrothers]

Thank you Kriaze!! Well that is good to know. I will turn one of the lights off for now and use the sides of the lights instead. I will take some photos with a better camera!

 

[weedbrothers]

These photos are taken by a better camera but i have the wrong objective to get good shots.

Hi and welcome to 420. If your little one has an issue at this young age it's normally hot soil or over watering. You made a good start, give her some light a little water now and then and she will be great.

I've asked a mod to move this into the grow journal section for you

 

[weedbrothers]

Thank you Mr Am4zin! I had an issue the first few days where i was scared of overwatering and during one occasion it got too little water instead, perhaps it's from that incident. Anyway - i will keep an eye on the development and keep you posted here.

You might ask the mod's to move your journal to the journal area. More people are apt to find it there.

Thank you for letting me know about this - im such a newbie!!! The user @Mr Am4zin have asked a mod to move this journal into the correct area..

Quick update. I turned one of the CFL lights off and turned the remaining two lights so the plant gets light from the side of the lights....more lumen.

I'm curious to see how your pineapple express does... I just finished mine (consumed) and it flowered very early on. Like by day 20 it was in flower. So I'll follow this grow and observe the scenery. Glad you got this moved into the journal section. Lots of luck to you and as always...

KiG cheers

 

[weedbrothers]

Thats awesome, do you have any photos of yours? Thank you!

Sup bru, looks like a decent setup you have going on here, strains sounds really nice. I will definitely be following this one as I am also currently busy with a CFL grow. Good luck and welcome to

It's kind of a long story, to put It short... I realized it was going into flower so I decided to try and spray it with colloidal silver to get some pollen. Failed. So I clipped the parts I sprayed and come harvest I got 4.5 grams dry. Haha. 90 days for 4 grams. But it was so frosty and smelt like candy. Grape pixie stix to be exact. If you want to check my perpetual journal, she is in there from the beginning... Named Kalua, meaning second child in Hawaiian. Anyways check it out man, I'll have the bong loaded for when you get there.

KiG cheers
