my first grow 250 watts cfl
So here is a few pics and an update, I retired the 600 watt MH bulb it was just too much heat and started burning my girls, plus I had to have it so far away the light intensity was terrible. Now I put my 250 watt MaxLume 6400K CFL bulb back in there along with two 2700K 55 watters, yes it's less lumens but It solves my heat problem and now I can keep those bulbs 6 inches from the plants so they are getting alot more light intensity, since I have switched bulbs the amount of growth is through the roof now, lesson learned High intensity CFLs is hands down the best and most productive way for seedlings. I know MH is better but for seedlings I disagree once they get rooted and get 4-5 good sets of leaves then yes the MH will be better for light penetration and will make them flourish. Thats about it any questions feel free to ask.

Note to self when re-using soil from previous grows. Flush soil numerous times before transplanting seedlings in it. My soil still had much residue from old fertilizer making my soil very hot, which in turn damaged the first set of leaves that sprouted. All the rest of the new growth is coming with no physical defects.

I'm running into a problem with some spots idk what it is. I think it may be from my soil being to hot when I planted them, but I want to make sure its not a deficiency. My ph is good, you guys all know what I'm running so go for it.thank youAttachment 289822

UGGhh I'm having problems, I'm getting the same damn brown spots on my plants, but this time early in the veg stage, last time it didn't happen till flower now it's in veg. My only conclusion could be my soil mixture of happy frog and roots organic, the guy at the hydro store says it's a fungus in my soil. So i bought some FFOF, my only conclusion is I'm using the same soil mixture as before and running into the same problems, but earlier on this time. So tomorrow I am going to transplant into new soil. UGGHHH I hate transplanting, pretty scary. ALso I have a new white skunk germinating so excited about it so stay tuned and any help is alway appreciated and i return the favor

So I have found my problem i tested individually all the npk levels. When my coteldyons fell off I didnt start fertilizing right away cause my soil was very hot. I ended up running into two deficiencies N and P. So there it is, dont get cocky cause you got a grow under your belt ,cause knowledge comes with experience, and i feel that ik alot of information about marijuana, but there is nothing better than hands on experience and reading your plant, and knowing what it needs which Im learning.

I guess dont go too heavy with nutes, but also dont be too modest, a happy medium is required. I have been foliar spraying with fulvex which is a life saver for deficiencies and works very quick and has over 70 trace minerals to help the uptake of npk and helps the overall nutrition of the plants..I hope this helps someone out there if they were to run into the same problem this is my purpose of such a detailed grow log alot of ppl hate helping ppl, and love watching them struggle I am not one of these ppl and I thank the ppl who have helped me.

Sorry guys, I know I have been slacking on the journal. Here is the update, I started flowering four days ago, and everything is going as good as it can. I transplanted them yesterday into bigger pots. Still using the botanicare line, and I gotta say I am very impressed with botanicare fulvex it saved my life and really helped my plants blow up. I am now running the 600 watt hps with 4 110 watt 2700 k bulbs for supplemental lighting. No major problems besides the plants gettin to big for their pots, which isn't always a bad thing, but it is def annoying next time I'm starting in 2 gallon buckets and going up to 5 for flower. By using the small pots and having to transplant alot def slowed my grow down, my last plants where bigger than the ones I have now, and they only vegged them for 4 weeks, but after running into the deficiency and having to transplant three times, it slowed down my growth. Hey I'm still learning too so I'm not too worried about it. Next grow I'm going with auto flowers and im going to be using ten gallon buckets, I want to do a test proving how much the pot size makes a difference in the size of the plant itself,and overall yield. All my plants except for a few have been topped, some have been topped four times, and are really bushy some grew back three tops. Out of all ten plants only two were males, so I must be doing something right, or I'm just extremely lucky, either way I think I'm really starting to understand these cannabis plants.
(these are all pics from the internet I do not grow or condone growing illegal cannabis plants and am following all regulations and laws that the state of NY has laid out before us)

Wow!
No be shy braddah, tell us how ya really feel.
OK, lemme get serious for a moment.
Now that you've calmed down.
It's time to gather your excrement.
No one thinks well when they are pissed.
Get an objective viewpoint, then shut up and lawyer up.
Asses your situation and resources.
You did not say much about the actual charges, but if serious, empty your bank account before it gets frozen.
Stick with family and beware new "friends" that may show up.
Aloha, and best of luck to ya.
Serious mode off:
