My first Grow Of Good.

well guys, this is my very first grow and i decided to grow good Sour Diesel shit. Im using a crappy homemade set up that is a 1x1 cardboard box lined with alum. foil a 2000rpm cpu fan that has a adjustable speed fan knob to adjust speed of course then a 500rpm fan to blow the air in and the 2000rpm fan to suck it out into the homemade filter. i built a homemade watering system. details will be listed below.

*******Items Used*****
Card board box = free
2 CPU fans = came from broken computer so free
1 gallon milk jug = 2.45
filter = free * used soda bottle, tissue, and some dryer stuff ***keeps static from shocking you but smells really really good*
Light fixture = 10$ but came from broken lamp.
50watt full color spectrum light = 5$
all in all price around 30$

I will keep this updated week by week. If you would like more details and pics on the grow box etc... or how/what im using to grow feel free to ask i will be more then glad to share :)

This is after 1 day/24 hrs from me putting the seed into the soil *non germ.*

the current Light time is 24/0 and will stay like this for about 3 weeks maybe 4, and then will start the flowering stage. if you have any ideas that has been proven by many people to work great please share :)

This is day 5, *started the 18/6 light cycle*

The container its in has regular nail holes in the bottom and on the bottom sides to let water seap in through the bottom as well as a water dripper at the top to drop water very close to the plant at a rate 4 drops/hour has a few holes on the side to allow excess water to drain out back to the bottom to be reused. i have a 2 gallon jug that holds water with some tubing attached for the bottom and the top of the grow box to water the plant. on monday i will be buying a timer to switch the lights on and off for me so i dont have to ** due to my 10 hour work shifts.

Plant looks good little bigger than my blue dream I started about the same time

its about 3 1/2" tall with only 4 leaves as shown in the picture, to me it seems little too tall for it to be only at week 1. is there something i could do to keep it about 2' tall at all times? possible more branchs etc.. new grower sorry for so many questions :P

Keep the lights near the plant and bury it a little in whatever you grow in

alright thanks for the info, i just switched my CFL bulb to a 42watt GE energy smart bulb 150 watt replacement uses only 42 watts, 2700 lumens **caution contains mercury** not sure if that has anything to do with plant growth

I also started my first grow about 2 weeks ago and i was noticing that my seedlings were getting quite tall for having few leaves, could that be because my light is about 3 feet from the top of my plants? and good job by the way man its a pretty dope setup you got there

yea after i moved my light down from 1' away from the plants to about 3-5" i instantly noticed the growth stopped * not really stopped but stopped growing height wise* and started to produce 4 more leaves almost right at the same spot as my other 2 leaves was at in the first place. making the leaves stretch like we did isnt good for the plant because it is taking up more nutes at a faster rate, now that i lowered the lights its working and growing pretty good but now my nutes are way too low due to my light height before i moved it. im starting on day 1 of week 2 and my very first 2 leaves * the round ones* are turning yellow, and my pot leaves * the second set* are starting to drop down a little bit. so i got to boost my P levels and my MG levels and nothing like the medicine "AirBorne" to help out with 40MG of Mag and if im not mistaking 15mg of Ph.

DAY 1 of WEEK 2 *notice the dropping leaves* second set* and the yellow leaves *bottom*
I think my nutes level are low or out. any body got some ideas.?? http://gyazo.com/e21eef0ffc4a2d41c14...png?1357322311
