My first bagseed grow...comments tips welcome

Ok so i finally decided to start a grow journal. ive been reading everyone elses for a while and decided well shit why not one for myself. i germinated the seeds on sunday april 13 by soaking them in water for 24 hours then i did the paper towel and put them in between two plates for the full next following day. On Monday april 14 9 out of the ten seeds i germed pulled through, so i then proceeded to put them in the jiffy pop up pellet things. i put each sprout in a pop-up pellet and watered along with putting them inside the little plastic dome case the pellets came with. i then put them under my beginning CFL's just to get them started for a little bit. i dont exactly remember the humidity or temperature the first couple days but i know they weren't out of extremes or anything like that. my Cfls are all 100w equiv. with only two with the more bluish spectrum ( could look but too lazy, plus im at work now...) But i have ordered a 250W MH/HPS and it should be here on mon May 5, hopefully. I have pictures from the previous days i just couldn't figure how to take really close shots with my camera. its an 8.1MP Sony so any help there would be bomb digity. i am using expert gardener soil mix along with some expert grower liquid food ( i know its not the best but this is my first grow and was at wallyworld for a decent price, my plants seem to like it so why not right?) i also bought MG Bloom booster too but still thinking about not using it. i have heard good and bad so maybe when the time comes ill try a very very very little bit and see what happens, then i will go from there. i am renting an apartment and use my closet as my growspace, i am the only one in my apartment though so i dn't have to worry about roomates and shit, just the man. But i have the walls covered in emergency blankets which seems to work for now, especially since i got a bunch of extra goodies with my light i ordered so the blankets will do for now.my battery just died in my camera but i will post whatever pictures i think are ok then i will go home and take some more tonight. especially since they are getting bigger and i don't have to worry about the picture being blurry. but please stay tuned to see what happens i have read a fair amount of info in this site and more but anything would help me out as this is my first grow and thread. thanks to all and ill get pictures up here in a lil bit and for sure by tomorrow. (I know there are only seven jiffy pop up pellets in the container but i took that pic before i let the remaining three sit in the moist paper towel for a lil longer) thanks for checkin in out more pictures to come) plants are much more developed then this, wait until tomorrow

ok so here is a little update on what the girls look like now, plus in the previous pictures i didn't have a top reflector but i made one out of a cardboard box and more emergency blankets from wally world. some of the ladies have had the lower leaves turn yellow but i think it happened becuase i came home from work on a really nice day and being on the third floor of my apartment building it was warmer then usual, so i fixed my venting situation by leaving my windows cracked in the place so there is a constant draft of fresh air through the whole place, i tracked my hps and its scheduled for the sixth, damn a little later then expected but o well. here they are,

comments, tips, anything welcome, thanks

P.S. Pics 1 - 10 are my babies, the last few are of the grow setup and whatnot

Thanks for checkin in Lacy appreciated... peacez

Sorry to whoever is watching, haven't been on for a couple days...yeah lacy they are in some basic soil expert gardener or something like that. they are yellowing because i did some under watering for a couple days, got too hott as well. but now i have since fixed the problem and they are looking much better.

im going to update my grow space a little tonight hopefully to make it stealthier and more efficient. i will take pics tonight and hopefully some ppl tune in. they are looking better and starting to grow like crazy with the new light. i will also transplant to bigger pots soon. i fed the girls for the first time last night before going to bed. used half of the recommended dose, its liquid feed with NPK of .02-.02-.02 which might be a little weak but ill pick up some more food when i get paid.

also since i have updated last, my friend had started a seed and he really couldn't care of it, so i decided to take it in it was a little stretched when i got it so its a little stretched compared to my other ones, but i will post pics tomorrow. peacez

ok so i said i was gonna update pics on saturday but i got too busy to get them on the internet, got wasted lol. but these pics are from friday night. since then i have transplanted them into bigger pots, except for the one in the green pot, thats my adopted one from my buddy. the plants have since grown rapidly with the new room for the roots. if anyone can tell me what that extra little plant is in the one picture would greatly appreciate it and throw some rep up there. when i transplanted though since i din't know what it was i just pulled it, figured id give the extra root space to the girls... lemme know what everyone thinks...thanks for stopping by.

plants looking great keep up the good work bro

Thanks for posting in the welcome thread, I wouldn't have found your grow if you hadn't.
It looks like you are doing a great job.
Your babies are all getting nice and bushy.
Keep up the good work and Happy Growing.

lookin good! pics from 2nd post under 3 weeks old?

I think your babies will grow into beasts if you keep giving them what they want, keep it up!

Looks good. VV

Thanks for checkin out my grow everyone...much appreciated. as to the second post pictures being under 3 weeks old. they were around that age. i accidently underwatered a little and got a little hot one day, but i have since noticed and fixed the problem. they are growing like crazy now and i can recognize new growth almost everyday! i think im going to top or FIM them, but not 100% sure which one i want to do yet. ill try to get updated pics before the weekend because im going back home to visit and will have to leave them alone for a couple days. im scared i don't want to leave my babies alone don't want anything to happen to them haha. updated pics within the next couple of days guys thanks for stoppin by and the comments. peacez

Taking more pics tonight and im going to FIM them too...tomorrow updated pics. stay tuned...

I took pictures last night but i forget my cord to my camera at my apartment... Blah! guess thats what i get for pottin smoke. hopefully i can get them up tonight if not it might be a couple days. o well shit happens life moves on...could be worse...peace

Still waiting of those new pics of your beautiful babies, is that like child bud-porn, uh-oh......
Hope you had a great holiday weekend.

In case you didn't know... there is a hydroponics in Moorhead if your near by

looking good man. i planted mine april 31 (i think thats the same day as you) and yours are growin way faster than mine. i havent checked on them in a few days but im going tomorrow and should have some pics up. keep up the good work!

ok so i could finally remember to bring my digital camera cord so i could finally put the pictures up...these pictures were taken on 5/22 so they are a little old but still need to be seen...as to herbtoker thats when i started my journal the actual day i started to see sprouts was april 14th so that is probably why it seems yours aren't growing as fast mine when in all actualaity they probably are lol..enjoy the pics
