First Grow. Victory will be mine!

First grow of my own. Plant is looking nice after 3 weeks under 24/0 of 3x60w of 6500k cfl's. just started adding some nutes to the soil last week and plant is starting to take off. Started them in some jiffy peat pellets and a homemade greenhouse (plastic deli meat container).



in the soil.



first light.

The grow box is an old speaker box i converted over it's 1x1x2 and fits perfect under my desk. Walls are some industrial aluminum foil i had left over from work and airflow is 2 120mm pc fans for the plant and a 92mm blower for the lights. I have a peice of lexan to seperate the the heat from the lights and case run between 72F at night to 81F in the height of the day.



after 2 and half weeks of just straight 6.2ph water the plant way on its way.



So it was about time to start with some nutes. and after 4 days this is what i open up too.



so leave a comment and i will try and answer anything you want to know about my grow and if you have any comments on something i should do different feel free to post them them too. More pics to come soon!

Today's pic 12hr's from last one

wow nice job, that looks extremely healthy. what nutes are you using? you going to transplant soon?

I'm not using anything but SuperThrive and what came in the soil. I would like to transplant it but the next size pot wont fit in the case and i want to keep it small box is only 1x1x1.5 ft

I think I might have over done it a little on the super thrive and burn the plant a little.

Because some of the leaves are starting to cup.

9/30/09 Update plant is doing fine just started with some more nutes and growth has been fast and plentiful. The plant is about half through its veg state and in 2 weeks will start to flower.

Update pic for today 2weeks until flowering time.

the leave tips turning up like that is low humidity and high heat. the plant is attempting to transpire more.

New pic for today!

Have a problem for a few weeks now and solve it? WTF is going on with my fan leaves? Can someone help me! I know a little about growing and plant was during fine then all of a sudden it started turning colors.

Sorry, its been i while since i post anything have been busy with other stuff and my plant is doing fine. Just started to flower and decided to post a couple of pics of how she is doing. Had to super crop her to make room and allow the cola bud to grow. And the temps and humidity are just fine.

Some more updates two weeks into flowering and everything is looking good started to use my bloom nutes today and hope they will work out alright. And i changed my lights around too. Put in 3*100 watt eqv. 2700k cfl's. had a 150 2700k and a 75 6500k in it because i took clones for Gooshpoo here on RIU. and wanted the plant to recover a little. so here are the pics.

i think ur overfeeding man!!cut down on the nuts for a while only use 1/4 the amount it says on the bottle!!

looking good man hope she gets to the finish line healthy and happy. im following you now. hey you left a post on my help question about light death! why would that be various sights said that a 24-36 hour dark period before flowering at 12/12 is just fine why did mine not take to it? ive been at 24/0 for the first 34 days and then to 36 hours dark as instructed before 12/12 can you go into more details because the plant is still thriving and looks healthy as hell.grew another inch or so today and getting some of its color back..peace pot prosperity

Sure I would be happy to tell you about light death, all it is is new growth that happens when lights are off. The plant then builds up to much nitrogen into the new leafs and when the lights come back on it acts as nute burn or nute def. over the course of a few days the plant will process the build up and then start to look healty again. I call it light death, because it happens when the lights come back on after a extended period of darkness. The whole 24-36 hrs of dark before flowering is good if the plant is a slow grower. But for large plants i would do 24/0 and goto 18/6 a few weeks before flowering then 24hr off then to 12/12.

New pics Soon.

hey thanks for the info you had me planning a funeral for a minute very well explained and your right they are really doing well now i have to move my lights every morning before turning on lights and here comes the smell oh the sweet smell.lol peace pot prosperity

Wow! it's been a month since i posted time has flown by. Well the plant is doing fine having a little trouble figuring out when i want to cut and cure. Here is a pic from today and is general over all look to the buds of the plant.

How long do you you thank I should wait to cut.

lookin good, stop misting... not good during flowering.. looks like you over water just a tad.. a bigger pot will help with that... i bet every inch of that soil has roots all in it

Cut and drying.
