sensation grow log (help always welcome)

[stone_sensation]

O.K I'm back from college and bored out of my skull... I was going to wait for my second grow in order to start a grow log as I am already 5 weeks in but as it's my first time I need help so please be patient with me and i'll do my best.

I guess the first thing is I'm growing 6 plants, 4 of which are afghan and the other 2 I don't know, oh and.... I am broke (£1.20) on my debit lmao. Getting £30 on 1st May and some more funds as grand parents won premium bonds and are sharing (should be getting cheque soon [Not sure how much though]).

The equipment I have:

• 125W Hydrolite HPS Lamp
• Ventilation that is not a problem.
• Miracle grow multi purpose (6-5-5)

Equipment I will be investing in:

• 6x 15w CFLs on there way from ebay.
• Mylar when I get some more cash in.
• A better nute (please help me here).
• and finally a hygrometer.

The history behind my plants is as follows:

I have 4 plants that are 5 weeks old, one is quite large compared to the rest. The others are small due to lack of light that I am trying to sort at the moment due to me purchasing 6 CFL's. The 4 plants have had a fairly stressful life to start with but have settled in now and are very slow growing (presumably due to the lack of light). I have repotted them in 1.5 gallon pots which will be there home from now on as I lack the space for bigger.

I have 1 plant that is 4 weeks old and looking much better foliage than the rest to be honest as it was always close to the HPS.

I have 1 plant this 1 week old and very small buy growing quick.

I am growing in my shed and will be building a grow compartment for protection and mylar walls. All plants are on a 18/6 lighting timer. Temperature is 17.C/60F ish expecting to increase with CFL's coming.

Names of plants:

• Binladen (biggest).
• Runt (was smallest now doing better).
• Green giant (was biggest now more foliage and less height).
• Herby (middle size).
• Speckles (4 weeks old, had speckled seed).
• Average Joe (small 1 week old).

Pics coming in a sec just gotta go get them lol

For some reason the attach image link has gone.... why?

[stone_sensation]

Right I've got the pics and have had to upload them with Putfile atm. I scared the crap out myself when I found a hornet ontop of the grow light box, must be because its warm, plus i'm allergic to them. Anyways Shifted that now back to the pics:

nice photos, but the plants look like they could use a lot more light. Still, they look happy.

Good Luck, Mr. Stoned Sensation

This Spring I've been growing at lower temps too. A little more heat would help them put on some soze too.

cool cheers hoping my CFL's will come tomorrow or next day

What does anyone think about my nutes? I'm thinking of getting some superthrive?

[LaidZeppelin]

i looked at your plants, im a noob but ive done a ton of research over the last couple months but i would recommend getting a fan or something to thicken up that center stem...they are lookin real flimsy

[stone_sensation]

Oh really? I didn't know that a fan did that lol! How does it work? like i mean whats the science behind it. I'll get one right away, I got one kicking around here somewhere...
