My First Grow -- Unknown Bagseed SUPGEE3's Grow Journal *lots of pics*

Hey everybody.. I should have started this a long time ago, but I was pretty new to the site and didn't really want to.
First off, I'm going to explain my set up.

This is my first time growing anything, let alone a dope plant so all criticism is welcome. (AS LONG AS ITS CONSTRUCTIVE)

I have 2 42 Watt CFLs, and 2 26 Watt CFLs, and I have 1 plant that was from some bagseed of mine. In case this plant is a male or hermie, which is possible cuz it is bagseed... I do have about 25 more seeds ready to go, so I will try, try again.

I keep the temperature around 74-76F during the lights off, and around 79-83F during the lights on. I have a fan blowing on my plant connected to the timer. (18/6)

I have a humidifier that I run only when I am home just to keep the humidity at around 52-60%, but I let the humidity drop a bit during the night time. (40%)

She (hopefully) sits on a shelf in my storage room, and the lights are hanging from hooks in the ceiling above the plant about 1-2" away.

She is growing in Miracle Grow soil ( I know now that this was a mistake, because of the time release nutrients but like I said I am new to this and didn't know - and so far it is doing well and I've heard of other people having good results ). I am not giving her any nutrients, but in a few days I'm going to give her some high Nitrogen nutrients (24-8-16) to help her out in the veg process.


Anyway, now I'm gonna post a bunch of pictures that I've taken of her.
Feel free to leave me your two cents, but if you don't have anything nice or constructive to say:

Peace and happy tokin

It sprouts!


On our way!


My first mistake: Not having enough light power and stretching it!


So I got some more lights, and I buried it up to the first node in soil.


The way she sits


Slowly getting bigger


Watching her get bigger is pretty exciting actually








Got a temperature/humidity gauge
















So there she is, sorry for all the pictures.
First grow, having lots of fun and learning lots of things.

Peace

So today some sort of rust spots started forming... Don't know why.





Any ideas?

The rust spots haven't spread anywhere else, I'm thinking my light bulb may have accidentally swung into my plant and burned it.
Anyway, the plants looking good beside the minor burn.

Here is updated pictures of her.. If anyone has any idea why she is showing this burnage let me know.

very nice grow dude, have you started to nute her yet?

No, she hasn't gotten any nutes yet. I'm thinking on my NEXT watering I will give her nutes, so 4 days.

ok, well these are just guesses, you could be right about the light burning her or because of the nute release in the soil she could be gettting large amounts sometimes when she is watered. but i think when she gets bigger and more roots she will be able to handle it.
