Newbie CFL Grow..Could use advice and criticism

I would say your soil mix is not good for the plants...

I would have to completely agree with you Zeb...After doing much research on the soil companies i put the soil mixture together from....I came to the harsh conclusion that the soil has absolutely NO Nutes in it at all.....The potting soil had 80% peat and 20% perlite thats it....The cow compost had some minerals...but it seems not enough to sustain MJ by itself.....Lacking some serious trace minerals.

I bought some FFOF for the next grow which is commencing as we speak....i wont waste the FFOF on the bagseed grow....Ive started two White Label White skunk Seeds yesterday.....Germed 2...Two hatched in 24 hrs...now in jiffy pellets...Now waiting to pop out of the soil...Which i wont need nutes for atleast a month with the OF

I realize the PH problems ive had in the beginning are probably contributing to some nute lockouts im having now..But 4 of the 6 seem to only have their few two sets of leaves yellowing...so these might be able to pull through....Also....The pics in the log are before the nutes were added.....Since then...the plants are really getting back to growing....They were stuck for a few days..now they are back on a fast pace growing new leaves daily....We will just have to wait. Thanks for all the people that weighed in.....I will be updating the log with the new grow with new materials..

Also...My roommate found the box....likes it.....I brought the rubbermaid box back to the house....Put it in my closet....and now testing the temps...I think i got it...But i will continue to run the 2 boxes....One now in my roommates room and one in mine....You see how life works out.

PS...Got my second batch of seeds from Dr. Chonic today Took 5 days...Got 10% discount for belonging to another forum.....KC brains NL and Nirvana WW......Got a free pack of Critically Smashed ( White Rhino X Critical Mass)...now this make 5 different strains just waiting to be grown.

Ill update with pics in the next day or two.

Ive been real busy lately and havent been able to update the log....

The plants are doing good.....all the old plants are now outdoors..i got tired of the plants and my soil problems, but they are still growing 3 of them are showing preflowers and are about 2 1/2 feet tall. Nothing really impressive...so ill update those pics when they flower outdoors.

But for now, here is my new project which are WL white skunk grown hydroponically in hempy buckets...Full FF line, full strength nutes from 4 days from seed(Following the FF nute schedule to a T). Here are some pics...Today they are 18 days old...The pics are:

Pic 1: Babies 4 days from seed...Day 1 of Hempy buckets and Nutes.
Pics 2,3: Babies @ 7 days old.

Pics 4,5: Babies @14 days old.

I plan to veg for another 2 weeks and flower

wow nice improvement, and glad to hear about your roomie. now you can have double the fun, or have a lil competion and see who can grow the better buds.

So far all looks fine and dandy, just be sure to fully let them dry out before watering again. I usually water right before they start to wilt, and give them enough so water runs out the bottom for about a half a minute.


stay irie

here are some pics they will be flowered at 28 days...one is showing a female...top 2 or 3 nodes have white hairs growing near thr new shoot grow.

Today they started being feed 3tsp of grow big hydro, 1 tbsn of big bloom, and 1/2 tsp of open seseme all FF nutes

hope you enjoy the pics.

lookin bushy... me likes

Here some pics before cloning....They will be cloned tomorrow...The bottom 6 shoots off each plant....

Since moving to their new homes they really spread out since sunday afternoon....its only 2 days and they got wide. Take a look.

I included the pics of the pre-flowers i have on both plants....sorry for the pics im using a handheld digital 10mp w/5x zoom, but when i look at the preflowers with a 15x magnefying lense...i can see little hairs growing from all the preflowers on both plants...really keeping fingers crossed at this point.

Pic 1 is a preflower i think on Thing 1

Pic 5 is a preflower i think on Thing 2

Heres a pic of the tray of clones i took of the plants.....I took 13 clones total on Thursday..Today is sunday...all still look perky...The white skunk plants have been in bloom for 2 days.....starting to really show preflowers(but small)...i think they might both be males or at least one is a male...idk(not sure, but ill wait for a definite sack of balls before i chop my grows.) I really need one to be a male...because i dont have this much room for all these plants....the clones were for a friend that had to breakdown his room after a bad situation(better to be safe than sorry).

so i love your grow log.. FYI! you WL is looking dope! that sucks about your friend but like they say, A friend with weed (grower) is a friend indeed. Hopefully your clones take root. so how long has your ladies been in flowering now? but im gonna follow your thread to see you outcome... its gonna be AWSOME!

thanx camoznhx...

Im really surprised how these are growing also...Just Bushes..with CFL's.(especially after blasting them with nutes...A growers..NO.NO!)

The plants are 3 days into flowering....maybe i was being a bit pessimistic im my last post....I really think i got one female and one male, but with my luck would...idk.

Thanks once again for everyone that been with me to this point...i appreciate the comments.

PS.....The friend deal.......Friend got a flat tire, and found a GPS tracking device on the bottom of his car.(F*cking Jackers)...
