First grow

Ok, so I've been running my grow journal on another site. From the comments, I guess I'm doing a decent job at it. I decided somebody on riu might be interested in one of the strains I'm running. Or maybe you might just wanna follow to see if I fuck it up. IDK, but let me catch you up on what I'm doing.

This will be my first grow. Just three plants. Big bomb, Criminal (ripper seeds), and Auto Cheese. The big bomb and criminal are three weeks old. The auto is two weeks.
I'm running them in a small grow cab indoors then they'll be going out within the next two weeks. Once I find the time to dig my last hole (been to damn busy). Errr, probably missing a little info, so ask if you're curious Hope you enjoy and hope I get to report back with a taste test sometime

Criminal. 21 days old.

Big bomb. 21 days old
Auto Cheese. 14 days old

Oh yeah, it's on now - I was guessing you'd grown immense amounts before, and just haven't put up a single pic.. good to see your first grow is going well, unless I misinterpreted the 'first grow', and that's your first grow with these strains, that is.

Shit, I should have let everybody think I'm a pro grower lol.

Nope, my first grow. I tried last year, but I nuked my seeds in super hot miracle grow soil (and had no future plans for the plant). I've learned alot since then haha

One never can tell, figured you may just have been paranoid re: showing grow room pics, or otherwise exposing your operation over a digital medium in some aspects that may get attention depending on where you are is all. Miracle Grow can be dangerous if you're not extremely careful with seedlings, without question - agreed. Have to ask now, what soil are you running?

For the two phenos, I'm running fox farms light warrior. Haven't added any nutes (gonna be using tiger bloom and grow big), but they're still very green imo. The auto is in 50/50 Light warrior/ ocean forest mix. I figured this mix would be good for the auto since light warrior is perfect for seedlings and ocean forest will still provide nutes. Also, the mix will be able to stay the same the entire grow and it won't freak the auto out and stunt its growth once I transplant it.
The phenos are gonna go staight into Ocean forest when they go outdoors.



I thought the big bomb would be bigget at this point. But nope, the criminal (who I figured would be second biggest) passed it. And then the auto (who is a week behind and destined to be a shrimp) passed up the criminal and big bomb lol. Fun watching them race each other.

Good choices for soil and nutes, as for watching them race.. yup! You'll see same strain same apparent phenos take off, then one will decide it wants to stop growing vertically, and then grow horizontally like a bush.. just never know

Looks good buddy can't wait to see this one unfold. What kind of lights you got em under in your cab?

I have 6 - 23 watt CFLs. Nothing much, just enough to get them through veg, then the sun will take care of the rest

And thanks for the feedback guys

Oh yeah they'll veg quite nicely under those lights. Interested in the Cheese & Criminal got my eye on them haha

Not a problem, glad to comment and can't wait for more grow pics in a few days/week/whenever you update

Nice buddy!

Looking good bro, you don't need to feed yet.

I would feed right when you go outdoors. Watch your leaves they will tell you when she's hungry. Still looks green to me. FFOF has enough to feed up to 30 days on most strains and longer on some.

If you have any questions bro feel free to ask.

Alright guys, update time.

I decided it was time for my girls to be topped. So snip snip, the big bomb and criminal are now topped!
