Hey all,
a month or so ago I was hitting the bong and it hit me... i should be growing my own weed instead of paying for it!!!! I went online and stumbled upon RIU and ive been reading since. The first thing i noticed was that there are a bunch of nice people who are willing to help newbies, which is nice for a change, and im glad to be a part of the community.I didnt want to post till i had something i could show you all so i waited till tonight to say wassup
Im growing 4 seeds from some nug ive gotten in the past year or so. Im going to veg and flowere with a 150 watt hps and im using Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. The plants all sprouted the same night and are 1 week and 3 days old. They are in plastic cups that have holes poked in the bottom for drainage. There is a bigass pot inside of the box to collect the water so i dont flood the people below and so i can test the ph. I watered them 4 days ago with 1/4 str Fox Farm Big Grow(water adjusted to 6 ph)...I let the soil get pretty dry but not completely and watered again tonight with 1/3 str FFBG. The plants are on 18/6 light schedule and the fan is on during the 18 hrs. I still need to buy a digital ph meter but the runoff water tested to yellow with a very light tint of green so im guessing its like 6.3. The 3L coke bottle and the yeast are for the CO2...just gotta go buy a aquarium hose or something tomorrow. The plants are growing rapidly every day, i was thinking of transplanting them in 4 days when they are 2 weeks old into 3 gallon pots. So far the only thing ive messed up is damaging the root a little when transplanting plant #4 from a shotglass into the plastic cup...its really lengthy and has smaller leaves than the other 3.
My only concern right now is plant #1... 2 of its leaves are curled for some reason. Plant #2 is really short and the leaves are pointing down at a sharp angle...is this normal or am i putting them too close to the light or something? Plant #3 is the biggest 1 and looks healty to me... but the fact is i dont know so any input/comments would be greatly appreciated.
I realize i need to move that bigass mirror out of there and im going to try to move the fan a bit closer and cut the closet in half somehow so the light doesnt get wasted on all that space to the right of the plants...maybe with a bedsheet or something? any suggestions are welcome
Now its time to
