First Time PC Case Grow Random Bagseed

Yeah.. transplant seems to throw these guys for a loop. They look hot, DW.

Hey bud thanks for stopping by and rep thank you i hope this will help you i think i may start a rubbermaid aswell soon. hey v12 thank you for the advice i put a dish of water plant height and i also raised the lights one knotch so it the temps are hovering mid 70's. now which is better. and ele thank you for gracing this thread with your presence once again if it was for you guys always checkin in id give up on this journal.

You bet, man. From my perspective, we can really only learn from each other on this, since nobody else seems to rock it like we do. I read several other forums from time to time, but nobody seems to be doing as well, pc-wise, as we are. Personally, I'd probably be shit outta luck w/out v12, but the more of us there are doing pc's together, the more we all learn.. I nute burn one day, you overwater another, etc. We all see eachother's mistakes and design flaws and learn to correct those mistakes in our own grows before they even happen. I'm dying to get a bigger growbox, too, but I think I will always at least mother in PC.

If you want to check out how I set my rubbermaid grow you can see it at the link in my sig. Comments welcome man.

i will definetly be checking it out! another update coming tonight...

Day 22 - 14/Apr/09 - Plants
Lights: 4 x 23w 6500k CFL
Light Cycle: 18/6
Temp: 78.4 F

Pics 1-4: Plant 1 looking better will definetly look better by tomorrow. New growth coming up the middle and side growth aswell stem is really thickening up needs some more height before i can tie it down any more.

Pics 5-8: Plant 2 looking good i think its just about out of shock its leafs are getting bigger and its getting taller to i tied it down again. its doing really well.

Pic 9: Heres the plants in the setup and yes my DIY humidity dome. Dr. V12 perscribed more humidity and so i came up with this. if you know of a better way please share. the bags will go over the plants 1 hour before the lights go off and stay on through the night and come off 1 hour after the lights come on.

Also you guy the firt set of leafs(the feeder leafs) have pretty much browned up and shrivled. should i start a light feeding? like 1/4 stength? thanks

If you have good soil they should be able to get some nutes from the soil. Maybe wait before giving them nutes.

Im starting a grow also... the cab has the same dimensions do you need light on your medium directly after planting your seed or should i wait till sprout??? thnx

Things are taking off in there now DW. Those plastic tents you made look brilliant and the temp in the case is spot on. Great work. Watch the buggers shoot up now!
I'm with Neph on the nutes. Pics 7 & 8 show the cotelydons just beginning to go off so I'd be starting with low level nutes in around 7 days.

Hey DW looking good man! I was wondering how you decided when to start LSTing. I plan on doing the same thing in my grow and I'mnot exactly sure when the best time to start is.

With nutes, I do something a bit different, I think. Measurement is thrown to the wind a little bit, but I do a slight feed with the nute solution and then water on top of it. Even my seedlings are subject to a little nutrition. My soild is totally barren, though.

The plants look badass, man. Are you getting the urge to chop some of that side foliage to expose your new sites? Check my grow out in a few hours. I hacked up my older Top44 (Beatrice) last night to expose the sides. By this morning (my light cycle is overnight), her body had twisted to expose those sites even more and they had MAJOR growth in that time.

Overall, great grow, bro.

Hey neph thanks for stopping by and your right my soil has some nutes in it so it should be good for another 1-2 im guessing.

Cbaus i would suggest germing only because then your not wait forever for your possibly dud seed to sprout and yah light on the medium where its burried is fine. just make sure your seed is about a inch below the surface and keep your medium damp not soaked.

I believe Dr. V12 told me to start LST when i was at about 2-4 nodes and had some side growth.

Well if its barren then you should be giving them alittle feed but i will take your feed back into consideration. I had not thought of chopping the side foliage but now that you've said it... im alittle hesitant because i wouldnt not want to fuck up ill take a look at your grow and see if i cant wrap my head around that idea.

Day 23 - 15/Apr/09 - Plants
Lights: 4 x 23w 6500k CFL
Light Cycle: 18/6
Temp: 76.6 F

Pics 1-5: Plant 1 looking amazing after a nice humid sleep growth is really picking up from the middle i tied it down again. everything is great. ele mention cutting off foliage... i wouldnt know what to cut off.

Pics 6-10: Plant 2 looking great new growth coming up the middle and first set of full 5 point fan leafs!!! Exciting! All is well.

Wow mate. They look like altogether different plants!
Looks like you have things just about right now. Watch those babies grow

Looking good man! Looks like you really have LST thing down. It looks awesome. Following your pictures is like using a tutorial. a Couple questions- What are you using to tie them down. It looks to me like yarn or something? And about how tall were they when you started tying them down? Like I said looks amazing man. Cant wait to see the outcome! Happy growing.

Bud.. he's using twine. I use training wire from any garden store. BTK3ill uses rubber bands. I think V12 uses string. Any of those should work great.

hey thanks v12 couldnt have done it without you! and bud its like gardening yarn that i got at walmart, i simply make a loop around the plant then then tie it off to one of the hooks around the pot. it was maken 3-4 inches when i start LST but every plant is diffrent.

yes like ele said the options are endless just nothing thatll rust lol

Sounds good. I may even have some hemp yarn that I could use. =) I'll have to tear through my bedroom and see if its still here somewhere. Anyways, thanks alot man!

and bud those humidity domes you were asking about are in the update before this one. my plants were so dry from high heat and good airflow so i lock the moisture in a wala a thing of beauty

Hey ma, very nice, loving the set-up. Wanna keep an eye on this one, keep up the grow man, girls are looking nice.
