First Grow! : CFL/HPS 8 Plants

DKskater75 · Sep 8, 2008

Alright, so this will day 9 now since I germinated these. They are doing quite well, one is out to a healthy lead at the moment as you can tell from the pics. I got my temps better off over night with the new fan. Last night's high/low was 86/78, a little better than the 100/86 from the night before lol. As always feel free to comment, suggestions are welcome blah blah blah I want my seeds!

DKskater75 · Sep 8, 2008

Alright I just got my second of three orders from the doc. This one is 10 California Indica and 13 Purple Trainwreck. I will be germinating two of each shortly!!!

DK,

I am glad you got your seeds, I have been reading about all the problems with Dr. as well. Anyways, I am watching because you and I are about on the same schedule except I am no soil. So curious to watch.

Thanks Foodman! Glad to have another viewer. I'm glad I got my seeds. I placed three smaller orders that were around $100 each so hopefully I get the last one too! What are you growing?

Alright just got my 4 seeds into some soil. I picked up a nice germination kit last week and decided to try it out. It has a heating mat and a lid and enough room for 72 seeds lol. Like I will ever need that many. Anyways hope they sprout quicker than the NL took like 5 days...

Yes, the grow box comes lined with mylar. You can get one on eBay for $99. They're great and real easy to setup.

might be stupid question...a sales rep at 77hydro.com said its not built for hydroponic systems its made for soil (think he was tryna get me to spend more money)..can i put my bubbleponics in there or will i look like an idiot when i start posting pics lol

DKskater75 · Sep 8, 2008

I'm not sure why it would make a difference whether you were using soil or hydro. I'm not sure this one would be big enough anyway. It's the smallest one they make at 2x2x4 feet. They have bigger ones that are like 4x4x7 that might work. I just use this for vegging anyway and then put them under my HPS to flower.

how long did it take to get your seeds?

DKskater75 · Sep 9, 2008

First order took 4 days. Second one took 8. Still waiting on my third.

Looks good so far. Is your 400 in a homebox also? What seed company are your NL's from? I have some from Nirvana that I haven't started yet due to a current grow, but I can't wait to. How long are you going to let them veg?

Thanks chunky. No my 400w is in a seperate part of my closet. It's being used to flower my other two unknown plants right now (pics page 1). I got my NL's from Sensi. They were way more expensive than Nirvana's (which I didn't come across until after my order), but hopefully the quality will be much better. I'll probably let them veg for about 4 weeks. The two NL are 10 days old now, I just planted two Purple Wreck and Cali Indica yesterday, and still waiting for my Skywalker seeds!

sorry dk
i have been very busy
everything is still looking great tho

good luck bro

DKskater75 · Sep 9, 2008

Well, not much to update for today. Plants are looking healthy, one is growing way faster and I have no idea why. Oh well. I think I finally got my temp and humidity stable. Funny thing is the temps are hotter at night since I have to close up the tent and shut the closet door so my other plants can flower. High/low last night was 86/82 which is pretty good I guess. I can keep the temp right around 78-80 during the day though which should help. Anyways just a few pics and my HPS setup if anyone was interested...

Thanks camaro. Appreciate it. I think I finally got my setup down. Time to play the waiting game... oh and those are some big ass titties :hump:

DKskater75 · Sep 9, 2008

One more thing, just got these in the mail a minute ago. I bought a dozen 1 oz jars for bud storage (yeah I know, I like to plan ahead lol). Anyways it was only like 20 bucks for a dozen so I didn't think they would be that great. But they're actually very high quality, thick glass, locking lid, rubber seal to keep things air tight. What do you guys think...

iamthatguy · Sep 9, 2008

Lol I need to get some of those! Those look like really nice quality! They just had some of those on sale at Orchard Hardware and I didn't pick any up .... gr

Yeah, they are actually. I was pleasantly surprised. Here's the link where I got them. Welcome back - Candles and Supplies.com - Candle & Soap Making Products at Wholesale Prices

Alright, so I found a digital camera. Here are some close ups of my unknown plant. It's been flowering for 46 days. The pistols are about 50% amber, I have read to wait until 75%, so I will probably let it go another couple weeks or so. I couldn't even get close enough to get pics of the pistols on my other plant lol. I started flowering them both at the same time too, I'll probably just end up throwing it out if it doesn't do something soon. At least if it's not done by the time I need to start flowering my new batch. Anyways, here are some pics, enjoy...

Thanks hairbear! Pretty good I'd say, considering she started outdoors and has hardly had any nutes or any special attention. Can't wait to grow my next batch correctly!
