5 Bag Seeds In Grow Box

[Freak_Hehe]

Started with 3 seeds which sprouted on April 4th, then planted 2 more seeds which sprouted one week later on the 11th.

All 5 were started outside the grow box (hadnt finished building it yet)

Started feeding them "Botanicare: Pure Blend: Pro Gro: 3 - 1.5 - 4" 7mL per Galon water until the galon was gone (April 18th Today)

First three plants were suffering from being too far from the lights (and I came to realize the cause from the helpful people of this forum, thanks again) so I moved them closer and now they are doing better. :thumbsup:

They were all on a 20/4 cycle for the first week then I moved them to a 18/6 cycle because the days were getting too hot and i needed more down time around noon to help cool my box.

Grow Box Specs:
-Lights: 4 x 40watt CFL, 1 x 39watt CFL, 1 x Low wattage CFL (took it from my bathroom until i can buy another 40watt)
-Ventilation: 1 x Kiddie Fan Mounted to the top facing upwards
-Misc: White electrical tape covering inside walls, glasses of water to raise humidity

I dont have a ruler or something to measure exactly how tall they are, but the first three to sprout are all about 2.5-3.5 inches tall and the later two are about 1-2 inches tall. (after partially buring the stems because the first three were drooping)

The only camra I have is my crappy web cam, so if anyone wants some poor quality pics of them I'll put them up, if not I'll just wait till I can borrow my friends digi camra.

Any comments on other info I should log, would be appreciated.... Actually, any comments would be appreciated, especially helpful criticism.

:thumbsup: it sounds good but,you not supposed to give them any nutes untill week 3-4

[Freak_Hehe]

When I started giving them nutes I didnt know this, (I didnt know much of anything really :P) although it didnt seem to be hurting the plants so i just finished the galon. Is it because of burning the delicate plants that you dont give nutes during the first 3-4 weeks? Or is there another reason?

[xxxhazexxx]

nutes in early life gives you more males:thumbsup: check out my grow under pics of big girls:thumbsup:

[Freak_Hehe]

I'll start just water for the next two weeks then (if that'll make a differance)

BTW - You're plants look real nice (as far as this n00b can tell)

ACK! When I was putting back the first three and put back the top rubbermaid container I clamped one of the first three down. The stem didnt break, its just sagging down a bit, I splinted it up to help it grow up straight. I'm thinking it'll be fine, just a bit more stress is all.

it should be cool just keep an eye on her:thumbsup:

[Freak_Hehe]

:thumbsup: Ya, she's still holding up her weight, she's just leaning a bit, a day under the light and she should be fine.

I ended up leaving my fan on low when I went to a 4:20 party. My grow box ended up getting up to 106°F. My weakest plant, which already got dropped pretty bad, causing a bunch of root damage, and had holes in a bunch of the leaves, was drooping pretty freaking bad. I desided I wasn't going to put any more energy into this plant and euthanized it.

I only wanted 1-2 females; because of the size of my grow box; anyway, so I still only need 25-50% females.

The two remaining from the first three are 4.5" & 5" tall.
The two from the second planting are both about 2" tall.

that's a lot of heat man...get them pissed off and you'll get no females...make sure it doesn't happen again, I'm not sure how much stress it takes a plant to make it be male, but I've stressed a couple grows with heat..not even much heat, just for several days when I ran into some problems, but on that one I got 1/4 females because of that.

Transplanted yesturday, my two larger plants seemed to really like it, they are looking much more vibrant now.

The two larger ones are about 5" tall and the two smaller ones are about 3" tall (all after having their stems burried a bit)

I'll get some pictures after they've had a good uninterupted night cycle.


I bought 2 12v 12cm computer fans which I was going to set up to a thermometer to keep the temp more stable. Unfortunatly I broke both of them fucking around... (they didnt have a guard on one side of the fan). I'll buy another fan when I get paid and set it up. Hopefully Nelson doesn't go through some freak heat wave before then.
