Quick question about watering (first time grow)

Hey, TBag.... I made a grow log over HERE

I'm like 4days behind you I'd assume... post a grow log or keep this post updated.. will tune in.

Thanks.

Hey Grin, checked out your log and it looks pretty good man. Right now my 3 plants are about a week and 3 days into growing. I still need to pick up a HPS OR MH light whenever i can, but i should have enough light to lead up to flowering atleast. I'll keep you posted on this thread and we can just keep it alive. Oh yeah Grin, where did you get those lamp shades for the 20 watt CFL's?

I've had them for over 15 years. I used them way back to keep some puppy's warm in a basement. I think I got them at a hardware store, this of course was before home depot, lowes, or walmarts were in town. I know that doesn't really help.

About getting a HPS or MH, I've been thinking the same thing, but I've seen some cfl grows produce some good buds here. I think they had like 10-12 cfls going for 2-3 plants.. plus all different types.. some are better than others.

Ya, im 4 days with my one plant and a week with my other two behind ya.

Dang, i wish i knew where i could get some of those lamp shades for cheap. I really do want to use CFL's for my grow, but i don't know if i will have enough plug-ins. Right now my light has to have 2 extension cords to reach inside my closet. Do you know of an efficient way to hang and hook up say, 3 or 4 CFL's in a closet?

Theres like double sockets, and tripple sockets at places like home depot or lowes. But you might have to wire it urself, which is easy, like match teh colors ,and green the ground or something, ask the people there. and it only used one plug in I think.

get a surge protector. they split like 6 connects from one of those ext. cords you use.

Yeah, i do have one surge protector but it's currently being used for other things in my room. Maybe i could manage to hook it up though. Anyways, i got some new pictures of my 1 plant! It's been making pretty good progress i would say. My other two baby's died :( I'm hoping atleast this one will come out fine :thumbsup:

It is 2 weeks and 1 day into growing,how does it look? :stoned:

looking good man, what happened to your other two babies?

How close are your lights? It kinda seems stretched, but it can always been that type of strain.

BEAUTIFUL K+ im also interested on how those other ones died :(

remember, id only water once the soil on top is almost dry keep them moist and dont drown them

What are you growing? bagseed i would presume. If it's your first grow i kinda think you should grow bagseed as a trial run and then get some good strains in once you know your temps and humidity levels are good, can keep up with watering and feeding, plus you are even able to get a yield. strains may get a little expensive for seeds.

i'd grow more than one plant, because theres a 50% chance it's going to be male, and then you don't get any herb :[

good luck man hope everything goes okay
