Welllll starting the second grow :) Yeah I know, about time right? lol. This one will turn out pretty good I think. Im gonna start em off with the CFL'S that im starting them with around 1" off the soil. You know how we do ^_-
Im gonna maybe take these to like 3 feet, and hopefully out of the 6 seeds I started I get 3 healthy females to grow.

As the grow gets larger I will add more CFL's. As well as positional and warming etc. I learned my mistakes with my last grow.. I lost my crop almost because I was new and over watered.. plus it was over nut'ted. No problems this time!

The soil is good, contains nutes already so I wont need to even touch it with adding liquid nutes right? Thats pretty much my only question- I was kinda stoked that the soil had perlite in it already. God im lame.

ahaha
Peace and check back alot!

Dont worry ill make it pretty when I get my next check. Like add some chains instead of the shoelaces. Also get rid of the duct tape. But otherwise it looks like a clean start. Leave the walls white or get some reflective stuff?

hey man ive used that soil and i would say it has enough nutes for the first 2 weeks. you will want to pick up some bloom nutes from lowes or hd because it might not be enough for flowering.
Did you germ the seeds at all or did you just plant them
white walls will be the best no need to buy stuff you dont really need right? those floro tubes will be good to start them with!!
Gangster setup with hangers and shoelaces PRO SKILLS MACGUYVER!!! Ill be keeping close tabs on this one!!! keep it green man

i dont know if it is a good idea to have them all in one container like that....you might get some males and have to uproot them and what if their root are tangled with your females. it would not be fun..

Underneath the surface I have them seperated by some pieces of thin wood. Okay I will leave the walls white. I need to go buy some more lights this week =p

Yeah as long as they have lots of space them being in one pot shouldn't be a big deal. What wattage/ color spectrum are you current lights? keep it posted

1 Sprouted! Going to buy more lights this week! Hope more sprout! Im going to grow 3 in that tray I think. That way they have room to grow. The lights are some grow cfl's from wal*mart. They are rated at 75 watts output for each and I have 2 right now.
As soon as I get some cash Im going to order these 125 watt mini cfl bulbs. How many should I get? They are true 125 output bulbs, so how many would I need for 3 plants, including the 2 long deals that I have now?
I also have a fish tank in the front room, I heard that fish water is excellent for plants. Should I save the water when I do water changes?

Hrm, I'm interested to know whether this fish water is legit, or if it's just some offhand false comment made by someone on the forums.

Yah for real.. I am kinda leery about dumpin that into the pot man.. But if a few people say its legit maybe i would give her a shot.

Just thought I would drop by and tell you guys that since this morning the little seedling has started to really perk up!! Am i doing the right thing by keeping the light close like that? I don't want stretched plants like last time i grew! lol

yeah with them flouros keep the lights 2-3 inches from the plant should be any heat issue, maybe get an fan to start blowin some air around. What are the lumen output on those 125w cfl's/ where did you find them??

Keep it posted

K. Ill check and see what the lumens are at. Woke up today and a second seedling sprouted! The first is almost touching the cfls lol so i have to move the rig up just a hair. The second is still floppy and hasnt stood up yet but its getting green! The first is a dark shade now.

I also decided I am going to gently move the seedling on the right to the other side of the grow bin. I think these are the only 2 that sprouted out of the seeds I planted. Actually I think 1 more might go. Ill keep you guys updated. Im gonna go buy some CFLS today. At least a few cheap bulbs and the vanity setup from home depot. Wish me luck! That one looks healthy huh?

Well this is Day Three of them being up and out of the soil. A new one sprouted last night! They are a healthy green too. I went with my girlfriend to home depot last night and got 2 27 watt cfls to add to the two 75 watt bars that I have already. :) Soooo much brighter now.

Anyways just got home after a space cruise and noticed that they grew bigger and another sprouted even. They sprouted at different times, thats why one might look more stretched than the next. It's pretty exciting though, they are doing hella good. The cfls in that closet blind me when i open the door. I am adding another 27 watt tommorow when i go get another extension cord. Don't laugh at the setup - I am going to bolt down those lights to the wall tommorow I think. I like the healthy shade of green they are becoming.

the first one shows the new sprout that just popped up which I will move to the right when it gets just a tad stronger. Other than the moving issue I am not too stressed about this grow. I hope I will get at least two females :P Well at least even 1 healthy one. Wish me luck!
