Red's First Grow

I started hanging around the forums about the same time that I started my first grow, and I gotta say that I'd probably be lost without all of the things I've learned from here. So I figure that I should show yall how far I've gotten


The Beginning:
I got a couple hundred mixed seeds from a friend, which fueled my desire to start growing.

So I planted about 80 Seeds in some moisture control Miracle Grow, and then I went and picked up 5 48" 2-tube 40W fluorescent fixtures, set it all up, and waited to see what'll happen. After a few days they started poppin up all over the place.

A Little bit later I picked up some Foxfarm Ocean forest, and a bunch of 26W CFL's. Then I replanted the starts in 2/3rds Ocean forest and 1/3rd perlite. I also killed ten weaker plants because I knew that I wouldn't have enough room in the closet.

I let them Veg for about a month and a half. They were growing surprisingly fast, but they were slightly stunted because I kept moving things around a lot I think.

Looks like a good start to a great grow.

One thing in the last pic can you get a close up of the leaves near the bottom something has happened and maybe the cause of your growth stunt.

I started flowering them on Nov. 28th in the same area that they were Vegging in. (About 400W of 6500k Fluoro, and 468W of I think 3200k CFL)

On the 8th I picked up some 1000W hps bulbs and ballasts. I then built a dedicated room. I got rid of all of the males, which turned out to be over half, about 55 of them. That sucked!

The pics are of the current setup, day 10 of flowering. There is only one light on for now.

Today is day 21 of flowering. The hairs are finally getting pretty big, everything is lookin good!

The temps have dropped from the mid 70's to high 50's a few times during the night because I didn't have my heater situation figured out yet. It's all good now, the nights are about 65. I hope that didn't stress them

First pic is day 20, the rest are day 21

Sorry thought the end of your last post was the end and current.

That is one hell of a grow you have going.

It is going to be nice to whatch your work.

Haha yeah I took a break :rastasmoke:

thanks!

:smokin:

I only have 25 I think, I haven't counted since I picked a couple more males out

Looks good dude. Are you flowering them in those little dixie cups? If so, are you having any problems with them getting root-bound?
