First Grow -1000w- Lavender + ChemHazeDiesel + Citral + Ice

This is my first grow, and I am trying out Soma's Lavender, along with Reservoir Seeds ChemHazeDiesel, Nirvana's Citral and Ice! Wish me Luck!!

This is the tenth day of an 18/6 schedule. I am having some small problems with heat but the issue should be fixed within a couple hours.. I am growing in Botanicare ReadyGro Coco Mix using the Botanicare Nutrient Line.

I have two 465 cfm fans for intake and outtake, Including fresh air intake through the light, and into the enclosure as well for added c02 and temperature control

I plan to transplant the seedlings into 5 gallon containers as soon as they are large enough.

There is perhaps a leaf deformity with the ChemHazeDiesel I think. You can see the ChemHazeDiesel in the second photo down, along with the 4th and 5th photo down. Could this be cause by overheating? I have had some issues with that but actually resolved that after taking these photos.

Is there any issues that any of you can spot?


Thanks for checking this out!

This is day eleven of the 18/6 schedule. I noticed that some roots are visible on the bottom of most of the planters. Is it necessary to transplant them into bigger containers? I am also wondering if it is extra difficult to transplant when using a coco growing medium such as Botanicare's ReadyGro.

I have reduced the temperature a few degrees to around 79-80 degrees Fahrenheit with lights on. The temp seems to be stable at this point.




I hope you enjoy the pics!

Looking good so far. When the plants are that small, I would just put them under some CFL, preferably 4' tubes...I think a 4 fixture t8 from homedePot doesnt run more than 50 bucks.

No sense in running 1k if u dont have to.

Is a good point from a money saving point of view. I started mine from seed under a 600 watt hps and it has a fairly dramatic effect on the electric bill. The light, the fan, the ventilation all going for 18 hours a day...yeesh.

Plants look gooooood :thumbsup:

At this point I am not really able to go out and purchase CFL's. I took all the necessary precautions and placed the MH at 4 feet above the plants. Next time I will have to use CFL's for my seedlings, but or the time being this will have to do.... Even if it has an undesirable effect on my electricity bill.


I will have another update tonight with pics from day 12.

Thanks for stopping by and checking the grow!

This is day 14 of 18/6 lighting schedule. I am thinking I will need to transplant most of the plants soon because I am a moderate amount of roots on the bottom of each planter. Any suggestions on that?

The plants seem to look healthy but I may be having some issues with PH, so I am going to purchase a meter.

Today I fed my babies with a little less than the recommended nutes from the soil grow schedule from Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow. Liquid Karma, Cal Mag, and Pure Blend Pro Grow.

They look nice!

Im excited to see how this turns out, keep it up bro!:thumbsup:

I took a good hard look at the Lavender myself, interested to see how that goes. Good luck.

how about a pic of the vent system... some outsiders...

Yesterday was the two week Mark and my plants all seem to be quite healthy. I bought a PH testing kit and my Tap water is in the perfect range, 6.5'ish. I did a runoff test today after watering with only water, and that was also in the correct range. I am wondering what may be causing the yellowing of a plant or two...

I also lowered the light about a foot today, preparing for a transplant and full on veg.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for checking my grow out!
