First grow and CFLs

6 days after planted into soil.. hows it looking?


9 days

progress lookin good? just using water and cfls about 3-4 inches above plant

yeah man, that doesn't look bad. Kinda on auto pilot til it starts needing actual attention.

But nothing looks wrong.

For 6 and 9 days, looks pretty good to me.


Cheers,

Good start.
Maybe a little closer with the lights if you can check them every few hours.
You'd be surprised, those little suckers will surprise you and grow into the light if you're not careful.
I learned the hard way.

looks healthy,, good luck with your grow also i reccomend using daylight spectrum during the vegetative cycle

keep us poster, sub'd and +rep for starting good.
Just dont let them stretch.

looks good min. keep lights nice and close do the burn test with your hand hold it between bulb and plant if you burn plant will lol. sub,d . ive started a cfl organic auto grow haha .should be interesting .im going no extraction .co2 enrichment .with fan for air circulation only .

i dont know if i can edit my original post to put pictures there, cant find an edit button.here i am on day 13 from when i planted

Four 6500k 26w bulbs for Veg and plan on using Four 2400k 26w bulbs for Flowering once i get to that stage

you will need more then that for flower.

i have a very limited space,using a grow box with dimensions 24" x 9" x 16" so i know i will be having a small plant... you sure that isnt enough lights? isn't it equivalent to like 300 watts? four 6500k 26w for veg, and four 2400k 26w for flower

if you are doing a micro grow you can probably get away with that.

It's been a week since my last update, so thats a total of 3 weeks or 21 days since i first planted in soil. I am using Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil and general hydroponics advanced nutrients flora grow and bloom only. I am going to give my first feeding with nutrients my next feeding (in 2 or 3 days). Heres a few pictures of what my plant looks like now and it has seen vigorous growth over the past week!! One of the pictures just kind of shows the stems.. but it seems like a very bushy plant to me which i believe is a good thing.. and overall looks pretty healthy to me.

So what do you guys think so far? Is it looking ok? *AND* Am i safe to be feeding nutrients next feeding?(FFOF Soil)

this is Tahoe OG from cali connection non feminized seed so i will need to sex and figure out if male/female when i get to that point.

looking healthy, keep doing what you have been doing.
Just hope for the best, I want to see how this turns out.

Are you lsting in the future?

Yeah im pretty sure im just gunna go in with nutes next feeding, but as for LST i am not really concerned with messing with that right now or topping even. May be sound kind of lame but whatever - im just trying to get through a harvest for some experience..... Not concerned about maximizing yield on my first plant..

MUST SAVE PLANT HURRY oh no im scared i may have a problem ... 1 day after my update my plants are beggining to droop down - they have seen vigorous growth recently does this just mean i should be using much more water than i previously was? is the drooping caused from underwatering? i was using 1 liters of water and it was fine... my pot is very small but now that the plant has grown so much i think i should feed 2-3 liters but am not sure if that is exactly what is causing the leaves to droop (i have still not gave nutrients maybe i should give nutrients?) Thanks in advance need help asap.... and by the way they were doing it with lights out and the soil was dry so i watered when lights came back on and they eventually (about 3-5 hours) perk'd back up but then after a about 3-5 MORE hours they are drooping again. i am very concerned but i think its due to under watering. The soil is still damp this time though and they are drooping again ... its not dry this time. Hope i was detailed enough, heres a few pics... gotta save her!................. and yeah it seems like shes using the water faster...maybe?edit: have moved plants a little farther from the light i believe they were too close, may have been (part?) of the problem but it still persists so i need some advice, thanks

Just looks like it needs more water. Hold off on nutes for another week at least in my opinion. OF soil is great and good for at least a month without extra nutes. I use same nutes and soil in my stuff. Water more frequently the bigger she gets.
