First Grow Skunk#1/Mango/KC 33/Thai Haze, Advice Appreciated

hi

just starting my first grow the plants i have are:

2x skunk#1 (seedsman)
2x mango (KC Brains)
2x thai haze x skunk (freebie)
1x KC 33 (KC Brains)

the skunk#1 and mango were both germinated before planting and thai haze and kc33 were planted straight from the bag.

the skunk#1 germinated 1st so was planted on the 30th dec 2007 all the rest were planted on the 1st jan 2008.

for veg i have the plants under a 125w blue envirolite, for flower i am using a 600w HPS

at the minute the plants are about an inch from the envirolite these lites are very good and hardly let of any heat so r ok to have this close.

anyway today the skunk#1 have come out of the medium so i am well on the way to my first grow you don't know how happy i am.

heres some pictures from this morning both of these r skunk#1 i will go and get more now just to see whats happened

they've grown a bit already i know i shouldn't use tin foil but i am waiting for the sheeting to come off ebay as soon as it comes the tin foils gone

good luck & GG..keep us posted

none of the others have sprouted yet this morning still just the skunk#1 but both of them r looking really healthy im well proud first time I've planted anything and it seems to be so far so good.

great the sk#1 is a great plant to start out with. carnt really go wrong.
why not start a grow j. so we can watch your progress.

i thought thats what this is im going to keep it updated am i in the wrong place as i am a newbie i didn't want to start a thread in any of the other parts

Looking good, keep us posted, i started a journal today too...

this is day 2 out of the soil for the skunk#1.

ill check your thread out now 1 puff

1 puff, there looking good there keep it up cant wait to see pictures of your first grow finished,

sorry about the picture quality camera bit shitty looks better once you click on them

heres a few more pictures

Envirolite is CFL lighting, yes?

I'm surprised nobody has suggested you get more than 125W for 7 plants. Heck, in my opinion 125W is not enough for 1 plant.

have you seen an envirolite they are 5 times bigger than the cfl lights they r using on here anyway i think there are too many plants and am not planing on them all lasting as this is my first attempt at growing anything

i have read up about these lights and theres definitely enough light for a bit i will get more and am planning on putting them under a 600w when they are about 8" and vegging them under that till about 12"-15" and then putting them on 12/12

more pics these were born on the 1st of jan

nice good luck.....

cheers tech i think i will need some

Yeah, I've seen 'em... I have one. Mine is just not called an Envirolite... same deal, a freekin huge 125W CFL light. I have that plus 4 42W bulbs for only 2 plants and that's still not enough light in my opinion... but it works.

I would seriously get some more light on them before 8"... they gonna stretch and stretching sucks ass.

Your call, your grow.

Avoiding stretching before it happens sounds kinda like the smart thing to do to me lol. Good luck. I'll be keeping up with your grow.

i am sure this is enough for now this vegging space is only 2ft w x 1.5ft d 6ft h, another one is already bought and im waiting for a few things to come but i couldnt wait to get started so far so good

the light is about an 1" above the plants at the minute to avoid stretching

It's your first grow, how sure can you possibly be?

Anyhow, good luck.
