My First Ever Grow (Advice more than Welcome)

Some pics... First 2 are Ms. C99 x Nevilles haze. I believe I'll name her Hermione.

Last 3 are the Skywalker, believe I'll name her R23P0. Haha...

Yeah not really much reason to update...leafs are definitly getting bigger...and I'm happy to say they are not stretching.

I am taking this info from Organic Rasta that I found in a thread in Organic Growing.

It's a lot like what he told me before but more detailed. I'm putting it here as it's most likely what I'm going to be doing with mine, and good information is important to include in these things.

I built up to a normal feeding from 1/4 the strength....sounds mild but it works from day 12 of the plants lifeand once the leaves are a dark healthy green I skip feedings with aged pHed water.

At the beginning of flowering I kept the Earth Juice Grow at the normal strength for 2 weeks and then backed off slowly once the stretch had calmed down enough to not make the plant use the N up too fast and early.

.....in flowering I also use the Grow at mild strength too, the Bloom at a teaspoon stronger than normal and the meta k at normal plus a teaspoon.
I don't forget the "K"; it's just as important in flowering.
The microblast I use has never gone past mild.
I also supplement with Jamaican Bat Guano.....a teaspoon sprinkled on the top of the soil and fingered into the top 2 inches.

Now for the end ....coming close to finishing.....three weeks before harvest I use aged h2o....pHed ofcourse and that's it......I let the plant do it's thing in 3 weeks and don't take any of the leaves off at all thru it's life. Those are the plant's solar panels.


In my opinion Earth Juice is a complete feeding regiment and should be used together and not just as one source during your feedings. Just my opinion.


stay green Bro
Jah Bless

Just putting it here to keep record of what I'm gonna do.

Well my friends, I'm happy to say that my little girls are growing! It's been 5 days now and I believe I see a set of leaves growing. I took some pics for you all to see. This is a milestone, sort of like the first step.

Also, you'll notice one of the "baby leaves" is somewhat browned. I'm questioning if maybe I have too much light on them right now. But I don't know that that's possible. Only 3 of my lights are on them currently. So...I don't know what that's about.

Umm...no nutes yet, obviously. I'm watering every other, to every third day, basically going on the way the soil feels and their weight. I'm not exactly sure how much growth should be seen in a week...but here you have it. Oh, and also, one of them used to have a purple stem, but new stem growth is green. Interesting.

Pics are best quality I could get. ENJOY!

First two are the sky, last three are the C99 x Nevilles Haze.

Are you talking about the water leaf turning brown? They will
do that they die off after they have served their purpose.

Looks good for a week I cant wait to see them in a month.

:thumbsup:

word on that.
they looking healthy

finaly droped the 3 seeds into the soil. going for round 2. :P
so how long tell you saw a seedling pop out of the soil?
and after you waterd droped the seed in and then rewaterd... how long until you water agin? when the soil is dry?

I'm no authority on the issue, but I personally had light on mine so as soon as they sprouted they had light. And it only took...hmm...2 days I guess. I kept everything pretty moist. Probably more than I should have as some of my seeds rotted...but...these two seem to be doing very well!

I guess we all learn as we go.

Yes, it is the water leaf I guess. I'm glad to know that's normal! Thank you very much for commenting.

I can't wait to see them in a month myself! Just from yesterday until today there has been growth, its awesome to see.

did you have lights on them when you put the seeds in teh soil? or did you keep them in teh dark tell they sprouted?

after you put the seeds in teh soil did you put the lights on them right away or wait tell they sprouted?

I kept the light on them. It helped provide warmth, and also, if I wasn't here when they sprouted, I wanted to make sure they had immediate light. I have limited space as is, so the less stretching the better!
