Northen Lights, Big Bud, Bubblegum (CFL First Time Grow from seed)

[Gaines04]

Hello ALL,

Got tired of smoking garbage weed so I decided to grow my own . Going to try and keep a journal going any comments are welcome. I have been hawking on this site for some time now and have been very impressed with some of the work I have seen here. The plan is to veg under cfl's and depending on how many females I get out of 7 I will switch to a 400w HPS.

Soil is a mix of Shultz and Miracle Grow about 50/50.. Plan to use fox farms or pro mix when I re-pot for flowering. Also added a touch of Superthrive to all plants today.

Just started the 2 bigger ones (Northern Lights) on Foxfarms Grow Big a few days ago. Accidentally used the same water on the BigBud so they have a little nute burn.They are 2 weeks old. As you can see one is smaller than the other.

The other 2 are Big Bud started a week later to better my chances.

The 3 seedlings (Bubblegum) I started after the other 4 looked pretty healthy and to better my odds. I wish I would have started all at the same time but this is my first time growing and didn't know what to expect. Here are a few pics. Any questions or advice is greatly appreciated.

I have plenty of CFL's I keep adding more once I think the plants need it. Temps avg from 74 - 90 degrees. Lights are on 24/7. 2 fans inside grow room giving the plants a little shake. When I am home I leave door open and it has an exhaust fan blowing air out are when temps are the coolest about 74 degrees. Few random pics... I am at the moment..lol again all comments are welcome and appreciated.

Oh got my seeds from Marijuana Seeds (cannabis Seeds) High Quality Low Prices

Yeah, I was hoping it was a little bit of nute burn, Those are the 2 Big Bud strains..i let them dry out and then flushed...we will see what happens..crossing my fingers..lol They seem to be a bit more picky than the Northern Lights, and the northern lights seeds were tiny.. It was almost comical when I saw them.. here is a pic

Did some re-potting today. Space may become an issue soon. As soon as the others are about the same size as my biggest which is only 3 weeks old I plan on going 12/12, I would say another month of Veg. Few Pics, comments always welcome

Dude they are already huge lol. How long you been veggin already? The biggest look ready for flowering now.

 

[w0bi]

You are going to be flowering for a month and ahalf or longer, which is almost 2 months of growing!! They are going to get huge, U could even change the big ones now, n start the little ones into flowering when they got alil bigger, that way once th ebig ones were done u could still be flowering teh lil ones

Dude they are already huge lol. How long you been veggin already? The biggest look ready for flowering now.

It has only been 3 weeks in veg for the 2 big ones. The big one is already 18" Tall...the other NL is about 12" I should have tried some LST on them earlier, but who knew..lol. Shit is crazy man they are growing so fast...I constantly gotta play with the light setup.. That one in the big pot I really hope that one is a girl...she is beasting over the other one

The 2 big bud strains are the medium size ones and they been going for 2 weeks (Had nute burn, but recovering nicely after flush)

The smaller ones are the bubblegum which I re-potted..Those already have a sweet smell. I love that smell...lol My wish is to get at least 1 female from each strain (space being an issue) I wish I could clone now and determine sex...but I only have one space which I am using for both veg and flower. Might get a 400W MH/HPS tomorrow after work. I say at least another 3 weeks for veg... Thanks for stopping by man... Much appreciated
