Fire green at 2 wk, 4 day old. My solo plant soil grow set up.

I had a log going on this one somewhere, but for some reason, i can't find it anymore. I'll go at it again.

This baby is from some mid-grade green, pretty dope ass shit. I have 3 6500k cfl's 23w in there, two of them about 2 inches above the top of the plant, and one cfl laying sideways 2 inches away.

I don't know if anything is wrong with my baby. I've tried reading the ph in soil, but at different spots in the soil i get different readings. Am i supposed to stick the ph meter half way in the soil, or a 1/4, or all the way down? It's a cheap type of meter until i can get a better one.
I have a 4" 80 cfm (i think) fan acting as the exhaust. I also have a 3 speed fan inside at the top facing down blowing on the lights and plant to keep cool.
I think she is growing slow, not at the way supposed to be. Maybe i had the wrong lighting before. I had 1 6500k cfl & 2 2200k cfl, instead of having 3 6500k. Or it could be something else. I'm not a pro yet.

Here are some pictures of what i have going on so far. I know it's not much compared to what you guys have on here, but ya'll wait and see till this beauty grows up.

Also, here is a pic of my "blue mystic" seeds starting to pop open doing my method of making em' pop open. 96% of the time it is guaranteed to work. You see how that cup is upside down over the wet napkin? All i have done is get a plate, wet paper towel, about 2 sheets folded will do just fine, and put it together as you see in the pic. Put the seeds in the middle of the napkins. Cover and put in dark place. In about 2 days you'll see tails coming out of those shells.


Oh, check out this garbage ass bud i have to smoke until i get hold of some good shit. I wish it was bud like the one's i see on this site. You guys remember back when you smoked that shit. Lol.


I just changed out those 2 cfl's so hopefully my plant will like it.

any tips, suggestions, criticism, i'm open to it all.:leaf:

YEAH, THIS WHOLE SET UP DID NOT COST ME THOUSANDS. THIS IS WHAT IT COST ME FOR EVERYTHING:

1 GROW TENT - $100 (S&H INCLUDED)
CFL BULBS - 65K & 22K - $30
EXHAUST/INTAKE FAN - $30 (S&H INCLUDED)
3 SPEED FAN - $15
HYGROMETER - $8
PLANT FOOD - $40 (TECHNAFLORA RECIPE FOR SUCCESS) SO FAR I'M LOVING IT.
CHEAP PH METER - $8
THE EXPRESSION ON MY FACE WHEN HARVEST TIME COMES - PRICELESS.

SO YEAH, PRETTY MUCH THIS SYSTEM COST ME $231. TO ME THAT IS A MINI INVESTMENT FOR PERSONAL SMOKE. NOT LIKE I'M GONNA BE PRODUCING POUNDS FROM 1 PLANT, THO THAT WOULD BE NICE.
I KNOW THIS SET UP ISN'T FANCY, BUT I SHOULD GET SOME RESULTS, HOPEFULLY FOR 4TH OF JULY. COME TO THINK OF IT, I WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME.
I'M GONNA LET THIS BABY VEG FOR ANOTHER 2 WEEKS, LET HER GET SIZE ON HER, THEN KICK THAT BITCH INTO FLOWERING.

OH, ALL 5 OF THE BLUE MYSTIC SEEDS HAVE POPPED OPEN. IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN 2 DAYS ALL OF THEM HAVE LITTLE WHITE TAILS COMING OUT. READ ON HOW I DID IT, AND I GUARANTEE YOU RESULTS. KEEP IN MIND, I LET THE NAPKIN GET FAIRLY WET, I DON'T CARE WHAT WATER I USE, CUZ ANY WATER I'VE EVER USED TO DO THAT HAS WORKED. YOU LET THAT NAPKIN GET DRY, YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH KISS A FEW SEEDS GOODBYE. FOR SOME REASON, WHEN I HAVE LET THE NAPKIN RUN DRY BY ACCIDENT, AND LET'S SAY I HAD 10 SEEDS, A FEW OF THEM WON'T POP OPEN BECAUSE OF THAT. I MAKE SURE NO LIGHT OR AIR HIT'S THOSE SEEDS.
WHEN MY CUP IS UPSIDE DOWN ON THE WET NAPKIN, I MAKE SURE TO PRESS DOWN FIRMLY TO WHERE THE CUP IS LIGHT/AIR TIGHT ON THE NAPKIN.

ANYWAY, WHAT I EXPECT OUT OF THAT 1 PLANT IN THE TENT:
I WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO GET ANYWHERE FROM AN OUNCE TO 2 OR 3. I MAY CAN PULL IT OFF, WHO KNOWS? THAT PLANT WILL BE THE ONLY ONE RECIEVING ATTENTION IN THE TENT, BECAUSE SHE IS THE ONLY ONE IN THERE.

WHAT I EXPECT FROM MY GARDEN OUTSIDE: HARD TO SAY AS I HAVE NEVER GROWN SO MANY AT ONCE, AND DIFFERENT STRAINS. TOTAL OF 17 PLANTS OUTSIDE. I PRAY THEY ALL BE LADY BUGS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A POUND OR SO.

MY BABY IN THE TENT IS STARTING TO REACT NICELY TO THE NEW LIGHTING.:lol:
I'VE BEEN PRETTY RISKY, AS I HAVE BEEN FEEDING HER NUTES ALREADY. I HAVE STARTED OFF AT A LOW STRENGTH. NO SIGN OF NUTE BURN YET.

I'll make sure to take a pic of it tonight. What type of pic tho are you talking about? One of the complete outside, or like the inside? Just making sure.
For some reason, the pic of my plant from the top reminds me of a mini palm tree. lol. I hope she bears me plenty fruit, if it's a she (fingers crossed)
All my seeds of "Blue Mystic" popped open, i put them outside today, hopefully i'll see some progress in a day or 2.

WHAT'S UP YALL. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE AN UPDATE ON TO HOW MY BABY IS DOING. TODAY MAKES 21 DAYS I WANT TO SAY. I NEVER WROTE DOWN HER BIRTHDAY, BUT IT'S SOMEWHERE AROUND EARLY APRIL.
THE PLANT IS GROWING OUT IT'S 4TH SET OF SPIKY LEAVES. MY TEMP IS 32C. I CAN'T GET THE TEMPERATURE ANY LOWER THAN THAT FOR SOME REASON. I WISH IT WOULD, BUT THE SUN HAS STARTED TO SHINE IN FLORIDA, SO THAT IS GONNA BRING UP THE HEAT INDEX INSIDE THE TENT UP A NOTCH.

WILL THIS PLANT SURVIVE IN THAT TEMPERATURE THROUGHOUT IT'S WHOLE LIFE? i CAN'T ADD ANY MORE FANS INSIDE THE TENT, BECAUSE THE SPACE IS LIMITED, THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE ROOM IN THERE IF I NEEDED TO ADD MORE LIGHTS.

SHE GOT FED THURSDAY NIGHT, I'M GOING TO WATER HER EITHER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.

MY LIGHTS ARE ON THE 18/6 CYCLE, BUT THE TIMES THAT THEY ARE off IS 3P-9P OFF. I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE I CAN CHANGE IT TO 9P-3A, THAT WAY IT WILL STAY COOLER AT NIGHT WITH THE LIGHTS OFF INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM ON AT NIGHT.

PLEASE, ANY TIPS ON HOW I CAN FIX THAT FUCKIN TEMPERATURE SITUATION? I HAVE SPACE FOR 1 MORE EXHAUST/INTAKE FAN, BUT AT THE POSITION IT'S AT, AT THE TOP, IT'S LIKE RIGHT BY THE OTHER HOLE WHERE I HAVE MY EXHAUST FAN, SO THEY ARE CLOSE AS HELL TOGETHER.

I LIKE WATCHING ANIME WHEN I'M HIGH AS SHIT, SO I'M NAMING THIS PLANT RUKIA AFTER A SOULREAPER IN THE SHOW "BLEACH". IF ANYONE ON THIS SITE LIKES ANIME, BLEACH IS A MUST SEE FOR ANIME LOVERS.

THANKS YALL AND SMOKE 2 JOINTS BEFORE YOU SMOKE 2 JOINTS, AND THEN YOU SMOKE 2 MORE.

n.e. florida (duval county) i may have realized the problem i have with my tent and the heat issue. this is my theory: for one, the tent is in a small closet filled with clothes, (so i think that may add to heat), the other is that i have to keep my closet door closed to keep light and sounds stealthy from parents, so the heat stays trapped in there in a ways. and i have a weak exhaust fan sucking air out.
so hopefully this baby will pull through. i just changed the time of light cycle so the lights turn off at night, and that way it will be cooler.
