My First Grow For Fun

Sep 5th 2009 – Today “Merry” is 19 days, “Jane” 17 days and “Sara” 12 days. “Shana” ended up not making it when I put her outside until I got more lights. On 1st Sept I noticed yellow and browning of leaves, mild drooping and not wanting to grow as usual. I transplanted all because I think they were getting nute burn from the soil I planted them in. It was full of nutes so every time I was watering (too much watering…cause they drooped) they were getting more and more nutes and weren’t ready for that. I put a few more lights in their grow space on 2 Sept and now all 3 are under 4 - 26 watt Daylight 6500K and 1 - 23 watt Warm 3000K cfl’s and starting to grow faster. I will be adding more lights when needed. They are looking much better and recovering… thanks to all that have posted so much useful information on this site!

Sep 8th 2009 – I purchased different soil and pots and transplanted all three. I also watered them with some Sweet Grape and added more lighting. They are all under 8 - 26 watt daylight 6500K & 1 – 23 watt warm 3000K cfl’s.

Sep 10th 2009 – I put “Shana” outside almost a week ago until I got more lights and thought she didn’t make it. I was out today and looked in my tomatoes and sure enough it was “Shana”. I brought “Shana” in and transplanted in soil. “Merry”, “Jane”, “Sara” and “Shana” all doing great and growing.

Sep 12th 2009 - “Merry”, “Jane”, “Sara” and “Shana” are all doing great and growing!

They are bouncing back from a little nute burn, growing and touching lights getting mild leaf burn, over watering and being transplanted many times to correct mishaps.

All in all they are doing wonderful for my first grow and the experience in this grow. Thanks to all that contributed so much useful information on this site…it really helps a newbie!

"newbganjafarma" - I saw a post on RIU they were giving samples away for free and got the sweet stuff. On the bottle it says all natural mineral supplement so just giving it a try.

28 September 2009 - Well since the last time I posted...All have been really growing! I had to make a new grow area in a closet because they kept out growing two original grow spaces. I started 12/12 on Merry and Jane 20th Sep and on 25th Sep started Shana and Sara on 12/12. So far Jane showed as a girl! Yippee...But Merry is a boy :cry: I am getting rid of Merry today. I continue to feed with Molasses water every 2-3 days and once a week give some Sweet Grape in the water.

Merry (Max now) was put into 12/12 at 34 days and Jane, Sara and Shana were 32 days when they went 12/12. I put Merry and Jane into 12/12 on 20 September and it only took 6 days for them to show sex. Sara and Shana went to 12/12 on 25 September so I am hoping they show sex in 6 days like Merry and Jane so I will know their sex by 1 October. I checked out your grow journal and great job you are doing and I hope you have all girls!

29 September 2009 - Last night I transplanted "Jane" into a larger container and
also "Sara". I purchased more soil and lights last night so I will be transplanting "Shana"
into a larger container later today. I soaked 4 seeds over night and will be putting
them in 12oz soil cups today. The lights I am now running on all of my plants are:
(9) 26 Watt 2700K Warm, (4) - 26 Watt 6500K Daylight and (2) - 23 Watt 3000K.
They are growing daily! I also had to add (4) Vanilla - Glade Fan Plug Ins.
I put one in room where closet is in and in other rooms surrounding that
bedroom because of smell. The plug ins are doing a great job. Now no smell of plants.

6 October 2009 – Today it’s confirmed….”Sara” is a girl! I am still waiting on “Shana” to show sex. I am thinking “Shana” may be male only because she is growing just like“Merry” and “Merry” ended up being male. “Sara” and “Jane” grew alike and both are female. I will still hope “Shana” will be girl though. Today “Jane” is over 3 ½ Ft. All the others continue to grow fast too. All through the day they seem to grow that I have to keep adjusting all the lights. Today “Jane” is 48 days old and “Sara” and “Shana" are 43 days old.
