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).
