:leaf: ----------------------MY FIRST GROW---------------------- :leaf:
:leaf:
Hi everyone this is my first grow and im starting off small with just 1 afghan mazar organic soil grow.
:leaf:
I germinated the seed using the toilet tissue technique
:leaf:
Then re-potted in clear plastic cup when seed cracked and put under a 250 cfl blue bulb giving it 24 hours light
:leaf:
It started coming up nice and the roots were looking bright white, thick and very dense so after 2 weeks i re-potted into a 25cm diametre pot with soil i had off a friend which contains feed for upto 2 weeks .
:leaf:
Looking healthy on week 3 settling nice in the new pot and soil
Id also like to add that i have been top feeding with just water and emptying the excess water from the trays daily
:leaf:
I havn't measured the space iv got in the wardrobe but i feel it only has room for the 1 plant iv put mylar on all sides and on the floor and have 1 250w CFL light hanging down vertically i will be adding another of the same lights as soon as i get a new lead as the second one i had was faulty.
:leaf:
I havn't got any fans yet but will be getting them asap
:leaf:
Because of the lack of space in my growbox (wardrobe) and i felt it had sexually matured enough to put it on a 12/12 flowering cycle on week 3 to get things started ;-)
:leaf:
:leaf: Here are some photos of it so far :leaf:

What size pot is that? Hard to tell from pic really. It looks like pic 1 is in a bigger pot and pic 2 is in smaller one? Is that the case or is it just hard to tell from that pic?

Sounds like root aphids man. Not good. I had that problem long time ago when using FF soil. Bugs are a common problem with that stuff.

I have a 600w quatum in an enclosed closet with no vent and no air circulating inside and my temp hasnt passed 86 and thats at about 16inches from light...I do open my closet tho and have a big box fan that blows air from outside window in and temps stay at about 80 82 then so hps isnt that bad man all lights put out heat u could use a 150w hps and have maybe a 6-8 degree difference from rooom temp...Just my suggestion...I used to be brock271981 but my computer got hacked so this is my new name...But good luck boss
