My first grow *pix*

Hello all.

Just wanted to post this up..

I've been buying bits and pieces and putting it all together as I go.

So for a recount of what has happened to my plant so far.......

I started her off way way way back when... around january.... she was gonna be my momma...

I ended up getting a bunch of seeds from a buddy, and they seem like a better strain.... So I've put mommy and baby into flowering.... it's been probably 2 or 3 weeks I think.....


I ended up having a problem with Aphids... so I bought 250 ladybugs from the nursery 1 and a half hours drive away *that was a lovely morning 5 stops and I got the last bag* The ladybugs have been in my room for approx 4 days..... I've been checking leaves and stalk for any signs of aphids..... and they are gone!!!

I think I was having an issue with heat at one point.... the temp was getting up to 30C..... So last night I installed a 50cfm bathroom fan,
hopefully that will cool her off in there.

Any input from anyone out there would be muchly appericiated.

from my little experience, i'd say you look like your doing a great job

isn't it going to be a bit of an annoyance getting rid of those ladybirds/bugs???

peeez

if u only have a few plats its easy just to wipe off aphids with damp cloth, look ok there considering no big lights.

Yeah I don't have anything kickin but some flourescents right now... I got a 100 watt NMH and a 100W HPS that I'll be putting in... just waitin on my ballasts.



And I'll just Vaccuum out the ladybugs.... I'll leave them in there til I crop off.

google weeds that please. good little info site, just came across it.

well I finally gots my new light...... I pulled out all my flourescents and just put this guy for now..... I'm still waiting on my HPS ballast... it should be in this week


Then I won't have to crowd the plants to the one side.

nice homemade hood
good luck on ur grow rep+4u

Looks good, goodluck

just brought my two other plants in... turning them over to flower.... the times are pretty close where I'm at so it shouldn't do much to stress the plants other then different light....

do you trim your plants?

yes I trimmed my plants... I had a problem with aphids and they start to have "sooty" mold on the leafs.... so I cut them off to ensure the plant survived....

ooooooo ok. i just wondered cuz ive seen many posters say that its not a good idea to trim plants UNLESS needed. and i guess in your case, it was needed.

good luck!

Well everybody here's two weeks into my newwer plant.

I cut one of my other ladies down.... she was old and looking not so great so I hacked and slashed her....

I'm also in the middle of an upgrade for my lights I'm changing my 100 Watt HPS for a 400 Watt HPS next weekend it all goes in I can't wait!!!!!

anyway here are some pics for your enjoyment
