My first grow journal(CFL) 12/12 from seed.

i like your setup alot so do the ingrediants you put in that bottle give off good co2?
i like it but ive never seen this before?

yes everytime my lights come on I pull the bottle out and kink the hose and shake violently, then I keep the hose kinked and line it up over my plants then let the kink out and a burst of co2 will come out, quickly close the door to keep the co2 inside. Oh yea the only fans I have running right now is my small pc fan exaust at the top just enough air movement to keep it from getting to HOT, the reason the fans are off is because the with fans blowing the co2 around and out of my grow box there is no point to even use c02. Also when you use co2 your temps should be alittle higher like around 85-88 degrees for your plants to be able to absorb all the co2, and with co2 some people say your plants can withstand 100 degree temps with little to no stress.

looking good man, give it another few weeks then put up some size comparison shots and ill try and guess ur yield. i like that co2 bottle you got going, seems to be helping. keep up the good work.

I just added 2-26w 6500k CFLs so that brings me to exactly 198w of light in my box. 2-26 6500k, 4-26w 2700k, 1-42w 2700k. I also counted the bud sites there are 24 on the Sour Diesel and 12 on the bagseed. I should have pics up within a week from now, so come back and check for pics like next wednesday or sooner.

I got a question for you Igrow. How did you utilize a pc fan? Did you use it plugged into a pc power supply or did you cut the wires and wire it to a 12v converter. I'm curios cause i want to make a small grow box and those pc case fans are perfect for smaller spaces not to mention cheap. BTW great grow from 12/12 This is one of the best straight flower grows I've seen in a while

oh yeah scribed

Thanks for stopping buy and checking out my grow. I appreciate the last sentance in your post it means alot, I take pride in my ladies. Ok now for your question, I have a 12v Pc fan with a red, and a black wire. I wired the pc fan to a 10v phone charger, now if you have a 12v pc fan I wouldnt wire it to a phone charger less than 9v or more than 12v. If you do wire to less than 9v then the fan will be to slow, and if you wire to 12v or more the fan will be running to hard and burn out. I posted a pic of how to do it below. Oh yea buy the way make sure the phone charger has 1 black wire and 1 red wire.

Thanks bro I thought it was that easy, but before I electricuted myself I thought I'd ask someone who's done it. Much appreciated.

I am starting to smell them strong in my room now I have the DIY carbon filter I made, but I dont know if my pc fan is strong enough to pull air through the activated carbon. I am afraid I will put the filter on and 1 hour later check them and my temps be 105.

only one way to find out man, just put it on when your going to be around them, and keep your eye in the temp.

They look good so far. I like how you topped them. Interesting way to scrog them.

My bagseed has two main colas and 1 of them seems to be getting more nutes or something than the other because the bud on the cola that is through my screen rack is the cola that is getting the most nutes is through the rack because it was growing taller and bigger, and faster than the other cola. If I took a guess the two main colas would weigh 7-8 grams right now so roughly 1 cola is 4-5grams and the other is 2-3grams. I will try my best to get the new pics up by next wednesday but I can't guarentee, but then again it could be earlier, so keep checking back guys. Oh yea thanks Lexam for the possitive comment LOL FINALLY.

lol I was just reading the package for the 2-6500k bulbs I bought the other day and I noticed they were 27w 6500k CFLs, so that is exactly 200w of light now. LOL I thought it was 198w of light wow.

Today is 27 days flowering for the Sour Diesel and 35 days flowering for the Bagseed. Im glad I took pics 1 of my daylight bulbs were off and I didnt even know it lol. I also took my first under the screen shot so let me know what the stems are looking like, I meant to show the bagseeds main stem but I cut it out of the picture on accident.

they're looking hella fine. I'm not sure if it's normal but it looks like you mightbe overwatering or something those leaves are a lil droopy.. but very nice man

They have been like that since they started flowering for some reason IDK it couldnt be overwatering though, I only water twice a week and they are in small pots, actually I only water when they are a certain weight if they are lite then I know to water if they are heavy, then I wait a day or two, to water them. Oh and I have had pics up for going on two days and I only have 1 reply to the new pics whats up with that RIU.

they look good man, seems like they are nice and healty, that leaf droop is probly a minoe defficiency of some kind, but they seem like they are still growing fine so dont worry bout it.

lookin good, nice setup you have here. I been meaning to check you out. you will have some nice smoke in a month or 2.

WoW man these are looking amazing, I have been looking into 12/12 from seed grows, and this has got to be by far the most successful 12/12 from seed I have ever seen. Great job and good luck on the harvest, I will be keeping up with this one. +rep

Your plants are looking great man! I'm going to be using some cfls in my next grow!
