New Dude + 1st Time Grow Log

Been doing a bit of looking around and I think I'll get one of these grow tents like the bud box. It seems like a good solution as it's light proof, I can leave the window open at all times. I'll get an extractor fan/carbon filter in there and blow it out the window. :) I love it when a plan comes together. Only problem is the expense really, but it'll be worth it in the end! :rasta:

Anyway, here's some piccies from day 6. I've still got two good growers but now only one gimp. The other plant is doing much better now. I've just to name them now. I think the big one should be Chuck Norris, no idea what to name the rest lol. Chuck's stem doesn't seem to be the strongest as I came home today to find it leaning to one side but a bit of packed soil did the job. I also turned down the fan a notch too. Anyway, here's the pics.

Chuck Norris ftw man =D

Good luck on your grow, it's always helpfull to do a test-run with the lights and some plants, I think everyone should, Just to get the hang of it.

Cheers

Hello there, day 8 is upon me and my seedlings and Chuck Norris' dominance continues over his siblings. Er.....I understand I want Chuck Norris to be a female but I can't refer to Chuck as 'she' or 'her'.

Anyway, the gimp is still a gimp but the others are doing nicely. I've been bringing the light closer to the seedlings each day and now they're a shade over 12 inches away from the lamp and doing fine. I've included some pics! I'm pretty happy the way things are going so far. Can't wait to get my budbox and extractor fan now. I also want a conversion bulb so they get some blue spectrum light and I don't have to buy another ballast. :) Anyone care to recommend a 400w conversion bulb?

Edit: if you have a look at the first pic below, see the leave slightly curl at the sides? Should I be worried about this?

Hey Zoid, just my opinion but i think you should move that light at least 6-12 inches further away pronto, they're not nearly big enuff to use the amount of light they'll be getting from just over a foot away, you can only really hurt them. They can take a little time to show signs of heat damage and when you realise it's too late. I don't wanna see your seedlings fry!

Cheers for the heads up man. I've moved them to 20 inches away now.

I can see that Chuck is developing 3 more nodes now. I'd say that in a week, it will be coming along nicely.

Hey there,

today is day 13! Chuck Norris is still kicking ass.

Anyway, I'll probably post some pics later but I've noticed some lower leaves yellowing. I'm taking this as a sign that the babies need some N so I made a fairly weak Biobizz bio-grow feed (0.5ml/litre) and fed the plants yesterday.

They're still growing nicely but there's still yellowing of the lower leaves. Note that this isn't nute burn as they have not been fed any nutes before. The soil is biobizz all-mix. How soon should I see some effects of this feed?

Thanks,

Z

Chuck Norris is a pussy! Well, that's what you're hoping, anyway. ;)

Dunno anything about biobizz stuff, so can't comment, but hope the prob gets fixed!

Looks like you might have some juicy buds in time for Christmas! I have some plants (Blue Mystic) on basically the same schedule as you here, so hopefully I will have some juicy Christmas buds too.

Thanks for the reply man. You'd be proud - I'm slowly building up a nice grow space. My extractor fan arrived today and I expect the budbox to come soon :) Eventually, I'll get a cool tube and I'll be set up :) Here's a few pics of the kids in the wardrobe before their new luxury home is set up. You can see the yellowing of the leaves. I read that added nitrogen will take a week to show its effects but all seems healthy otherwise.

bump.. this is interesting dont let it die

yeah im liking this lol
