Seedlings 10 days old- a log

Just a suggestion man, have you heard of a cooltube?? Here's a link to my old grow when I first got it, you can keep the light much closer to the tops with it, very very useful man..

You shouldn't catch any flack from the retailer, it's pretty clear it's a manufacturer error. Still, if it's going to take a day or two before you can get it replaced, remember to keep air circulating with some oscillating fans or something. See ya.

Hah yeah.. you are 100% right bro. Everything has been pretty hard but went quite smoothly, then my carbon filter dies in week 4 veg, goddamnit!! I emailed the retailer in the morning at like 5am or something, no reply all day. Ima just gonna take the bastad thing back to the store with the receipt, I only bought it 6 days ago so, wish me luck 'yo! :-) Thanks for the advice, still got the AC going, the rvk is more for the smell extraction. Legal or no I think ya gotta worry about people messing with ya's :-) I'll let y'all know if the retailer gives me shit (I dunno why I just got a bad feeling they will :( ).

Anyway, thanks for the reassurance clandestine.. when it comes to my plants I do get kind of sensitive :-)

Hey dude, yeah I looked at the DIY cooltube that was done on here in the FAQ's if I recall, I could probably make something similar out of two drain pipes and some high velocity industrial 30mm fans. (maybe 3 or 4) .. ahh I am going to have to go and make that shit now. Thanks for the superb advice homes :thumbsup:

Peace,

I hate technical problems. Good luck with that. Cool tubes are great but they often have reflection issues (like lack of it). There are some new sealed hoods out now that reflect in the 4 corners instead of 1 huge intensity in the middle. I'm thinking of trading in my cool tube and enclosed hood for a couple of those. You could consider that or just wait until my LED arrays come out, but those are going to be expensive.

thanks for the advice opie, I haven't done anything yet with the DIY cooltube, I'll let you know how things go though I have some parts on order :-D

As Promised, I figure it's time to post some picture updates of the babies.. some are nice and close :-) These plants are not without their problems as I had some issues controling temperature until the growbox is finished..

Hope you guys like, any advice appreciated, I have been trying to sex them but I think it might be a bit early to say.. another week or two..

Peace,
Denial

and the rest!
These 5 pictures above and 4 pictures below are at 1 month 4 days VEG under the 400W HPS. Using biobizz biobloom 1litre to 3ml ratio (3:1000).

I've got the extractor replaced now, woo

denial your plants are looking nice and healthy except for that little bit of droop. I don't think it's much to worry about, mine used to do that all the time, but if you spray a little liquid light on them they'll stretch out and reach for the stars like good leaves are supposed to.

Also if you would set your camera to program instead of auto you could force the flash, and that would help us see what your plants really look like.

Thanks Opie, I think I have worked out what is causing the droop, its the temperature fluctuations in the night. Moving the AC to cool the room instead of the cupboard worked a treat. I think it is just because the AC is very cold air it might be a bit of a shock. I will need to be careful where I install the fans inside the growbox as a result.

I also attatch more pictures.

The FIM I did isn't working out how I expected, not sure if it has worked :-( Must have done it wrong, we'll see I'll attatch pictures of where I FIM'ed.. Growth seems a bit slow at the moment! Probably because of FIM on the two big plants.

Peace,
Denial

Here are some more pics, the last two are the pictures of the two plants I FIM'ED after about 4-5 days.


would a kind Moderator perhaps move this thread to grow logs section? :D Thanks!

Peace,

Hey D,

Still looking very good, my friend! About your FIM, it's not too easy to tell from the pictures, but it sort of looks like you may have not snipped quite enough of the top shoots off to redirect the growth hormones. Did you take off all but about 10% of the new growth from that shoot when you cut it? If you just snipped the tips, then the plant will just grow that shoot out, funky looking (snipped) leaves and everything.

No big deal, though. This is all a learning process, and you naturally can't expect everything to go right on your first grow log! But, at the least, it looks like just about everything else is going smoothly. Glad to see that... I'm really pulling for you to have a kickass harvest. For all the hard work you've put in already, you definitely deserve one. I can't seem to remember, but is this your first ever grow... or just the first time you've documented a grow? Regardless of the answer, things are looking great! Keep up the good work, looking forward to future updates.
