First grow, some pics, etc.

After lurking for a while and reading, reading, reading I've decided to post some pics of my first grow and current set-up. Right now I've got three plants in the closet and two others on a window sill just staying alive until I figure out what I've got in the closet. The seeds came from a friend of mine that does small scale commercial grows, not sure exactly what they are, clearly a couple of different phenos. The two plants that seem more Indica dom started at the same time but one germed in one of those peat moss pucks, the other in soil, the one that started in soil has grown faster from the start, presumably b/c it had less resistance developing roots. The more Sativa dom started a couple of weeks later directly in soil. The soil I'm using is the Miracle Gro organic stuff. I've been using some cheap Home Depot fert. I haven't been checking Ph b/c I'm mostly just experimenting this time around and don't have the testing strips. The hard water from my tap seemed to be causing problems early on so I've since switched to distilled water. I've been experimenting with foliar feeding a bit. I feel like they've been growing a bit on the slow side. About 2 1/2 months in veg for the older two plants, started on 24h then switched to 18/6 about a month into veg. Fimmed (tried anyway) the two older plants about a month ago. Tomorrow they will have been on 12/12 for two weeks... still not sure on sex. I didn't really take any pictures until a couple of weeks ago.

alright, I can't seem to add pics or edit my original post... oh well

Try uploading to photobucket and shooting us the links, my friend.:jointsmile:

This is the closet set up at the moment. Twin bulb t12 fluro fixture augmented by 23w CFL floods on the two bushier plants to get light under the canopy. Fan from an old humidifier blowing up from below. Will probably pick up one of those 150w Sun System HPS units before too long.

hit the reply button, then click go advanced. use the drop down arrow next to the paper clip. you can add five pics this way. it's a lot easier and more convenient (especially for your readers!).

as far as editing, i think you only have 10 minutes after you post to edit.

This is the plant that seems to have a bit more Sativa character than the others. A bit of nute burn on a couple of the bottom leaves, but looking really pretty since then. Hasn't been topped or fimmed.

This is the more Indica pheno that started in the peat moss. It's looking a bit wilty here, but has perked up with a good watering. A couple of burnt tips from touching the CFL floods, but notice the nine fingered leaves.

This is the taller of the two more Indica phenos. The middle finger of most of the bigger fan leaves is deformed and curled under... not sure why. It seems healthy other than that.

The tallest is a bit over 12" the shortest a bit over 8". I probably would have vegged them more but I didn't want to waste much more time if they all turned out to be boys.

Having trouble figuring the picture thing out...under posting rules it says I can't post attachments.

yeah, i know. i'm pretty sure everyone posts pics before they have 50 posts.
