My first ever growing guide.......
Been growing now for just over a week and decided its time i posted some piccys and stuff.
How ive started:
I germinated my seeds in damp tissue paper, 5 in total. It took just over a week for 2 of the seed's to start seedling. I then transfered them in to multi purpose compost for about a week in my closet on a 24 hour light cycle.
Im currently using to flo's both at 40w. One is coolwhite and the other is a pinky colour. I will add more light as and when needed.
After about a week i built my hydros and transplanted the seedlings straight into them, using a 24-8-16 nute. My nute is 1 gallon fert and 1 gallon normal water so its a dilute of what it is. Heres a few pictures of my basic hydro setup and my plants.
My lights are now also set to 18/24.
Will post more piccys and info as and when.
Sorry about the picture qaulity it is only a .1 mega pixel camera and is no good at close up, but i will borrow a cam at some point of a m8 and take better pictures.

That 18/24 was probably just a typo but I just wanted to bring it to your
attention that it should be 18/6 just incase it wasn't.

your plants are stetching for light like crazy you need to move that light about 2" from the top of the plant or its going to fall over and die not to mention you need some form of fan in there with the plant to create movement of air and to make the stem stronger.
oh and chill with those nutes untill the plants is 2 weeks old atleast

Some would put 18/6 but i use 18/24 which means 18 light out of 24.

The light is 2" from the plant and i have a constant supply of air in the closet as well. The stem's on the plant are long due to them being grown in compost under natural light for the first couple of days.
And the nutes that are in are a dilutetion ne ways

Isn't it a little early for nutes? Surely the plant hasn't used the nutes that were already in the soil, right? I always thought no ferts until just before or just at flowering.

Im using hydros for my grow and if i dint use nutes untill flower then i wouldnt have ne plants to flower. You start using nutes once ur about 2 weeks into the veg stage.
