Ok hey all of RIU this is really my first grow,so let's see what im working with on this adventure.
1)G13 poison dwarf(autoflowering)5 sprouts
2)G13 powerskunk 3 seeds germinating
3)fruity pebble medical bagseed (so slow 43days)just flushed jan 15th,09
4)happy frog soil
5)foxfarm nute line except im using bio-grow veg nute.

Ok the first two pictures are of what is actually going to be my flowering room but im currently using it to veg,it's equipped with a 250watt htg hps, 6inch cheap in-line fan pushes 253cfm im getting a new one soon along with a professional carbon-filter.
There's two cut holes in the box for intake with black mesh put over them,im soon replaceing this and adding a A/C fan neat lil fans push 87cfm quiet also.

this next box is what i attempted my first grow in,im using it to pollinate one of those poison dwarfs and then after i will construct a better box as i have some experience now.
it has 6 23watt cfl's ignore the lil 15watt lol,6inch in-line duct fan these things are so whimpy and noisy i hate them.I am replaceing both with one of these i haven't made up my mind yet which one anyone advise plz?

so do i man this is just my 2grow,well i've germinated 2 more poison dwarf seeds (7 now)so they will be added to the rest tomorrow.
I'll upload some pictures most likely on wensday-thursday because they aren't that big yet so nothing exciting,im nerves about breeding one of them.
Also i forgot to mention i have added hydroton clay pellets to my happyfrog soil for better drainage,also i never mentioned the size's of my grow cab so if anyone would like to know just ask im a friendly stoner =).
hope u all enjoy,and can help this amateur out sometimes

I ordered these seeds as well from attitude. Hopefully they get here soon, how long did it take for them to get to you? I'm doing mine out of an aerogarden deluxe with some side lights and a pump. The skunk I'm doing out of a stealth hydro reservoir and the fem. pure gold and fem. green house mix I am growing out of bubble buckets. Straight dro. Would probably be easier doing these out of DWC. I've never done a soil grow though I don't know. Soil just seems a bit complicated with root rot and watering and all that shit.

i got alittle question and id appreciate the help.Well ok so it's time to water my bagseed plant again,but last time i fed it with bio-grow for the first time(only veg nute im usin).
Well on the bottle it says safe with everyday waterings,and it says to mix 2-5ml for every liter..what i fed it last time using a gallon jug was 1teaspoon(5ml) and a 1/2 teaspoon(2.5ml)..so should i water it again with the nute?or ph'ed water?.
Also may i say the plant is 60days old and only 8inch's but very bushy underneath and a nice green no problems and under a 250w hps about i believe 8inches away..and i know mh better but i just haven't got one yet soon with new veg room which i hope to show before the end of this grow.

G13 poison dwarves show sex at three weeks. its on attitude. 8 weeks to harvest, 5 weeks to flower, do the math man

well im alittle tired tonight so no pictures but tomorrow i will upload some,i transplanted the bag-seed into a 5qt container because i figured it still has awhile to veg i figure im not flowering until the poison dwarfs are done.Hope it lives it was my first transplant,it's alittle droopy but i hear that's natural correct after a transplant?.I figure im going to use superthrive and not use the bio-grow on the next watering hear it's good to prevent shock etc correct?.
Well for the powerskunk they are still small but the roots are getting pritty developed already.The poison dwarf is actually kinda letting me down i thought they would grow quicker but they are still small but have real good root development.

Well sorry for lag,but not much going on really.The bag-seed is half inch under a foot now i think the transplant was good for her.I have a question tho,there is a fan leaf directly over one of the preflowers(pic with my hand in it) is it ok if i cut it so the preflower site can get more light?.
Also i've tied down as u can notice two lower preflower sites.The powerskunk and poison dwarf are coming along good the powerskunk doing better then the poison dwarf.The posion is a pale green it's not um green like the powerskunk and there in the same stage maybe this is because the high % of ruderal in it?
i think they should be bigger then what they are also idk but so far i've decided i don't like them enough already to make seeds.
But enjoy the pics and say waddup,id really appreciate some advise on the leaf question also.
