My first horticulture experiment

wow there looking great for 2 weeks. my parents are kinda being gay about the lights being on more than 10 hours a day. but fuck it. i got 2 25 watt cfl's putting out about 1850 lumens and well there about how yours looked at day 8. and its day 14 with mine. slow but steady. there healthy and growing great. i just like to watch them grow. its fasinating. how ever you spell it. i hope to chat with you soon man. and tell me. are you using nutes??????

all the same, at a stand still.


When you say "feeding them fish," do you mean Fish Emulsion? I just bought some of that today and it says use a teaspoon diluted in 1 quart of water. Would you suggest using 1/4 of a teaspoon per quart?

Anyway, your plants look great. I bet they'll shoot up when you put them into flower. Good Luck!!!

Peace

yes strikinghigh, fish emulsion, i'm using it 1/4 strenghth, i'm also using MG with ferts added. my mistake there.

Looks like a mostly indica plant to me.
No one can tell you exactly what strain it is but it may be possible to make a good guess nearer to harvest time,especially if you state its smell along with your pics.
Looking good to me anyway,all nice and healthy

evening natmoon, they are just now starting to get a smeel to them, not sure how to describe it, still to faint.

puff and heavy, thank you for the comments.

dead battery in the camera tonight

ya no problem dude. mine are splitting leafs like crazy and growing taller. there growing pretty well. and damn man. how do you post pics up in this bitch lol. im a noobie at this website. but i do know alot about growing. i been studying this for a yr now and this is my first grow. i fucked up tho. cuz i let them crack and sprout in the paper towels. and they grew out about 5 inches in there. and i put them in soil about 3 days ago. they love the MG soil. not add-ins or nothing. just str8 soil and light. ill post some pics up in a week when they start to get bigger. but can you help me out kevin. im alil confussed at this point. will they grow while only having about 11- 12 hours of light? and i noticed that lil white hairs are comming out of the nodes. but they are to young to start flowering right? how do i stop them from going into flowering and back to veeg?? idk if they start to bud at this young of an age. then fuck it. please get back at me.....

well i think i have a boy, i switched them to 12/12 under a 250 hps along with all my cfl's. the one that i am thinking is a boy is burnt, taller and not near as bushy as the other 3. the 3 others are short fat and showing no signs of burning. on top of all that my wife thinks we have a skunk under our house. what a sweet smelling skunk!!!!

hey heavy, i think you need to start your plants on a 18/6 light cycle, that would be a question for someone with more experince than me, but i can tell you how to add pics with no problem. when you post go to advanced, then click on the paper clip on the tool bar, that ought to work for you.

Is that plant burnt from the lights or from nutes?

i forgot to mention putting the plates there for added reflection, i seen it on someone else's grow and i thought it was a cool idea, and it seemed to be working for them. but i can't remember who it was to check back in with them.

i'm not sure moon, they are all under the same lights at the same hieght. i did feed them some fish emulsion the other day in some ph balanced water mixed at 1/4 strenghth. the olny other thing i can think of is that i'm using mg soil with nutes added and maybe a few more of those fert capsules melted down than the others?

Well it looks like severe nute burn to me.
I wouldn't feed them anything until they are at least 4 weeks old if i were you.
Hope it works out for you

the thing about it moon is the other 3 show no signs of stress at all? should i give it a good flushing?

I would say no as your using the nute release soil and this will only make it worse.
It may be that you have a different phenotype or even strain,as that plant looks nothing like the others to me,and that it is nute sensitive.
Also to be aware of is that from my experience females nute burn more easily than males.

all 4 seeds came from the same bag.

Yeah but you can have different phenotypes.
Stuff that shows none or all the same instances of its parents,mutants,stuff that may be a genetic throwback from a hundred years or more ago even.
Unless something is a pure 100% indica or sativa all sorts can come out in a new seed

ahhhhhh, i got you!!! just because both parents have blue eyes doesn't mean the baby will have blue eyes. i was going to toss it. i'll wait it out and see what happens

they are all looking good, the one that got burnt is doing better. i gave them 2 cups of ph balanced water with no nutes at all. the skunky smell is starting to get strong.

what a difference a day makes. had to raise the lights about 4" today. the burnt one is starting to green back up. i'll never buy soil with nutes in them again. i guess that is what they would call experience?

Looking good for cfls mate.
Coming along nicely

what happened to your HPS? You need to get a box...go to Waly Wold and look at cabinets...or BJ's...shit even the Thrift Store.

oh i forgot to say the reason you need a box.without reflectors your CFLs are loosin like more then half their lumens...argh! i doint know how to say it. Half the lumens arnt reaching your plants without a reflector! There!!!! Addings a reflector and/or placing them in a box will help your plants alot!

i was going to get my box built this afternoon, got stoned and slept all day instead. going to get that done first thing in the morning. i have a hps along with all the cfl's, it's just hangs a little higher.

got up this morning and went right to work like a good farmer should. the box measures 32" x 32" and unlimited height for now. i have 16 26 watt soft white cfl's and 1 175 hps. i took the reflectors that i had made out strofoam plates and put them above the lights instead of under the plants. i'm waiting to see what the tempature will look like, before it was staying between 68 and 77, with the humidity between 36 and 60. the plants are sleeping right now, got em in a dark scary place. can't wait to show them their new home tonight. i run my lights from 7 pm to 7 am. here's a couple of pics, and a pic of the tools of a working man.
