Planted first seeds. Watered. Temperature stays between 85 and 90 degrees. Exhaust fan blows for fifteen minutes every hour.

11/23/2008

Watered again.

11/24/2008

Watered. Four seeds rose above the soil and stretched their first leaves. Planted one additional seed.

11/25/2008

Watered remaining two pots that haven’t sprouted yet. Four others doing lovely. Lowered temperature five degrees

11/26/08

Four that have sprouted are still doing lovely and growing nicely. Still waiting on two remaining to show their faces. Now we’re averaging about eighty - three degrees. Keeping it between eighty and eighty five degrees until we get the other two to come see what’s going on. I broke down and watered the two that haven’t made an appearance. They looked thirsty. LOL

Thanksgiving. Watered two remaining and actually planted another seed in one of their places.

11/28/08

They’re all growing nicely and the two remaining are still remaining. Watered all of them. I noticed some spots of discoloration on one of their leaves. Hopefully its just burn from the water that stood on the leaf for awhile.

Well one of the newbies decided to join the party. Now we have five babies total. Kinda giving up hope on the one remaining. There was a bug flying around in the area. I killed it and buried it. The three biggest ones have a lean and will probably need to be supported. They’re actually not looking that healthy. I think I’ll raise the light a little bit.


Here's an update on my situation. I got a co2 tank with regulator. (not hooked up yet). LED GlowPanel 45. A very nice ballast for up to 1000 MH or HPS. Only a 2x4x5 ft tall space. Pictures, but not posted yet.

Now for an update. All of the seedlings have sprouted and one of the babies has stunted growth and some burn on two of the leaves. Four of them are doing exceptionally well and the one that barely poked it's head above the dirt three days ago is too young to tell. I have added an exhaust fan to accompany the intake fan turned the leds off and hung two cfl's. The babies seem to like those better. This is the first time I've ever grown organized and indoors. The only bad thing is the seeds. They're bagseed, but I'd rather mess those up than spend big money on some good stuff and mess those up. Not that I plan on messing up, but shit happens when you're inexperienced. The babies were planted 12 days ago. I water every four days or as needed. My fans blow for 15 minutes every hour. Lights are on an 18/6 schedgy. And it's semi outdoors so I have a heater that keeps the temp between 75-80 degrees. I have a CO2 tank with a regulator, but I 'm not prepared to use that.(no timer) Besides the fresh air is cycled in every hour. Can someone confirm that that is plenty and there is no use for the CO2 yet? I tried to set up a photo album, but something prevents me from uploading pics on my profile. Does anyone else have this problem? I'll post pics on this thread later. Oh yeah! I have labeled all of the babies per number 1-6.

I switched from LED's to CFL's. 2 to be exact. Not sure of the wattage I'm getting about 400 to 500 lumens out of them at the tops of the plants. I've decide to label the babies by number and the pics will appear accordingly. 5 is in really bad shape. Help me Ya'll

Well I came into this project somewhat confident, but that has found a way to humble me. I've had several problems with my grow, but I think I'm working the kinks out. I have two babies that have barely grown, due to oversaturated soil and gnats and maybe some root issues. Two were accidently burned by my space heater. And two soldiers who seem pretty healthy. It's a crazy thing. I'll tell ya. I've spent countless hours on here trying to get my issues resolved and for the most part they're doing alot better than they were a week ago. I guess trial and error is the only way to go without a mentor or experienced grower here holding my hand til I get this stuff down. Thanks for all the help everyone. I'm ashamed to post pics right now. Maybe if the babies start looking better I'll show them of. As for right now, I'm just glad they're still alive.
