Good day all this is my very first grow ever. iam useing a closet as my grow room





iam useing a 22gal tub with two 6inch net pots









i have two 6ince air stones with pump

i allso have painted all the walls white









and after two days of non stop work this is what i have so far i got four seeds in the back net pot right now iam hopeing to have 4 more ready to go in the front one soon

i know that seams like a lot for that pot but iam counting on haveing to kill off at least 3 if not more for being males also iam not going to veg these for that long for maybe 2 weeks as they grow iam going to up the hydroyton to even as they grow


the reason that iam pushing this so fast is that iam leaveing in about 2 months so my wife will have to take over the nuting till i can get home and harvest them

i only have ph down and up for now iam going to pick up some nuts, testers, HPS 400 or 600w HID over the next few weeks the CFL's are for only veg at this time and questions or comments will be help fun and now for the rest of the pics























Stats as of now
PH 5.5
temp 80
hud 35%


i have a humidifer as well iam thinking of puting there as well but i want to see how it does after i take the dooms off

great pics man!! Best of luck with this grow, I was in your shoes about 4 months ago...

Are you using both soft white and daylight cfls?? I saw the one package was soft white, but looked likeyou had some daylights lit up there...

If not, go get a couple 'daylight' cfls (65k)... They make a big difference in veg... I probably lost 2-3 weeks because I was just using soft whites...


Subscribed for sure!!

good deal with the dual-CFls... But FYI... CFLs have two wattages listed... On the box you have pictured, they're actually just 40watt... (150wat equivilant). So if you read on RIU or wherever that's the wattage they mean...

What seeds you got man???

got you on the wattage's i think it should be a good amount of light at this time seeing as how iam allso going to be geting a hps eaither a 400 or 600 not to shuer yet i may get the 400 so i can go duel and most 600's do not let you go duel

as for seeds iam just useing some bag seed i have about 100 of them that my wife has got over the past year

Bro Its nest to germ seed and get a tap root mang.. Why didnt u get peat plugs?
Anyways in the coco its easiest to germ the make an opening put the tap root in and leave the seed flush with the top of the coc.. Could be alot of things over soaking etc. Or it could be they are germing in the coco and some may pop up..especially with bagseed its best to germ first tho..Why waist the coco on duds seeds if nothing else.

i had tap roots on one or two of them as for the rest they had crecked open so i thouth that i was good now iam worried i know it is just bag seed and i can start over but still it is seeds and i so want to see some green be growing i dont know what todo now iam confused and needs some help humm as for grem i did the soake in water for 24hrs then i put them on a plate wiht a bowl over them on a heat mat but i think they got to hot cues they dried out the first night i think i killed them at that time but then the next day i had tap roots out of 2 of them and a few and opened up so at that time i put them in the net pots with hydroton on the bottome and a small layer of coco and let just put a little on top to cover them then ovre the nxt 3 days i have had the bowls over top of them to help raise the humidity level up to where i need it to be at but now iam think that i over watered them cuse water level was to high cues the bottoms where very wet so that is all i have as of right now i think i may grem some more seeds like 5 or 6 just to make shuere that i have some thing and this time will not f it all up


you know you can read all day long but when i comes to doing it is a totaly diff game i just want to grow my own so bad i wish i had some one around that i could get a few cuttings from and help would be huge and i would be very thank full thank you all for your time and help so far and by no means iam i giveing up i will keep trying till i get plants even if that means my wife has to buy 500 in weed

Dude two thumbs up! I love it man it's perfect.
Let me know how that seeding is going.
Sprout ever seed you get just for the hell of it.
I like small plants, they grow so fast it is like watching a baby grow.

Peace

Ahh... Ok bro.. Well id say just chill and realize that ur workin with bagseed a good thing right now mang..
Some seeds simply crack and get tap roots fast while others catch up but its usually worth the wait. Im not sure but it seems i wait for a few more latlely.. They grow the same way slowly but usually the ones that lag are females maybe a dominant feature plants exhibit in the roles they take when they mature.. hahaha who knows.
Im gonna read back here now cause im sure with the effort u made in set-up and the work u have been puting in its gonna pan out..

Its all a learning experience bro.. very simple at that.. The harder i make it the more difficult it becomes.
They gave us the rules man just follow them.
