Pepurr Pot

I thought I would make a picture chronicle of my grow because it is fun. :D Well, that is only part of it. One other big reason is, if any of you see something wrong, you can maybe tell me about it in time to avoid disaster.

These girls (I hope girls) are about 10 days old. I think the first days of their young life, they were not getting enough light. Also they were in back yard dirt. Now they are under better lighting and have what seems like good dirt to grow in. I can tell they are happier already. :thumbsup:

As they grow I'll keep posting pictures here.

Wish me luck. :hippy:

whats up Pepurr!!!
I will subscribe to this thread and check out your grow.
Good Luck

I'll be checking it out :jointsmile:

Isn't it going to be difficult to transplant with the shape of the blue container and the lip on the other?

Happy growing :)

Oops! :silly: Didn't think of that. I am a metal smith so I can get the lips of the containers off. It would have been easyer to do it before hand though.

Thanks for the heads up. :thumbsup:

Might be a good idea to make some more drainage holes in the sides as well as the bottoms of those containers.
You will get better aeration for your roots.

Stagnant water will kill your kidz in a very short time.:(

Good luck.

I got a couple holes in there. I am being very carefull about watering. The soil is moist now, but not wet. I am trying to keep it so that if I stick my finger in the dirt about an inch, my finger don't come up wet, but moist soil will stick to my finger a little.

I don't want them to get root rot. I just hate it when my root rots. :wtf:

I think you'd have an easier time with large cottage cheese containers since the top is bigger than the bottom. You could just cut the containers away when the time comes. Yes, you will need holes to for drainage.

I think "Pepurr Pot" will be my trade mark from now on. I am an artist, so now I got to use that to make a killer sign. :dance:

Hopefully this will help speed up my grow.

I had to do something about that light. When they were in that north facing window they only got a couple hours of sun a day. Because of that, I made a grow room in my closet. The lights I had were 2 CFL's.
One 15W 2700k, and a 23W 2700k. They were a couple I had around the house. I don't know the lumens, but I am guessing 600 to 800.

After looking at pictures of others grows here,and paying attention to when the pictures were posted, I thought mine should have developed more than they are. :(

So on the way back from the VA today, I stopped at Walmart and found a 2 pack CFL, 6500K 20W 1150 lumens, for only $7.00.

I sure hope this helps. I have read that 6500K are better for the veg. time, and 2700 are better for the bud time.

I am wondering something though. Would there be any thing bad about having both the 2700K and the 6500K going at the same time? For now I only have the 6500K in there. Maybe all them lumens added would be an advantage. I don't know. If it would be even better to have both, I'll have to get another fixture.

One thing I do like about them CFL's is, I can buy a couple at a time as they are needed. :thumbsup:
