sensation grow log (help always welcome)
O.K I'm back from college and bored out of my skull... I was going to wait for my second grow in order to start a grow log as I am already 5 weeks in but as it's my first time I need help so please be patient with me and i'll do my best.
I guess the first thing is I'm growing 6 plants, 4 of which are afghan and the other 2 I don't know, oh and.... I am broke (£1.20) on my debit lmao. Getting £30 on 1st May and some more funds as grand parents won premium bonds and are sharing (should be getting cheque soon [Not sure how much though]).
The equipment I have:
- 125W Hydrolite HPS Lamp
- Ventilation that is not a problem.
- Miracle grow multi purpose (6-5-5)
Equipment I will be investing in:
- 6x 15w CFLs on there way from ebay.
- Mylar when I get some more cash in.
- A better nute (please help me here).
- and finally a hygrometer.
The history behind my plants is as follows:
I have 4 plants that are 5 weeks old, one is quite large compared to the rest. The others are small due to lack of light that I am trying to sort at the moment due to me purchasing 6 CFL's. The 4 plants have had a fairly stressful life to start with but have settled in now and are very slow growing (presumably due to the lack of light). I have repotted them in 1.5 gallon pots which will be there home from now on as I lack the space for bigger.
I have 1 plant that is 4 weeks old and looking much better foliage than the rest to be honest as it was always close to the HPS.
I have 1 plant this 1 week old and very small buy growing quick.
I am growing in my shed and will be building a grow compartment for protection and mylar walls. All plants are on a 18/6 lighting timer. Temperature is 17.C/60F ish expecting to increase with CFL's coming.
Names of plants:
- Binladen (biggest).
- Runt (was smallest now doing better).
- Green giant (was biggest now more foliage and less height).
- Herby (middle size).
- Speckles (4 weeks old, had speckled seed).
- Average Joe (small 1 week old).

nice photos, but the plants look like they could use a lot more light. Still, they look happy.
Good Luck, Mr. Stoned Sensation

This Spring I've been growing at lower temps too. A little more heat would help them put on some soze too.

What does anyone think about my nutes? I'm thinking of getting some superthrive?

i looked at your plants, im a noob but ive done a ton of research over the last couple months but i would recommend getting a fan or something to thicken up that center stem...they are lookin real flimsy

Oh really? I didn't know that a fan did that lol! How does it work? like i mean whats the science behind it. I'll get one right away, I got one kicking around here somewhere...
