First time grow. 4BB:s. Pics

[forcus master]

Hi
Im starting bit late here but better late than never.
My setup:
Cabinet W: 19in, H:24in D:22in
125w ESL Growlight White/Blue spectrum Lamp for plant propagation and vegetative stages 6400ºK
125w ESL Growlight Red spectrum lamp for all plant flowering stages 2700ºK
Seeds: Big Bud

I started germination with 6 seeds. 5 of them came out and one died in few days. Now I have 4 plants in bigger self watering pots.
3 plants seems to be fine but one is starting to go yellow and the growth has became slower.

Pics in the next post.

So its 2 weeks now since I put the seeds in the soil.

Temperature is round 80-85 wich is basicly the same as my room temperature. Yeah. its hot here in summer :thumbsup:
I dont think theres a problem with temperature. I read that when the temp is 85-95 plants grow actually faster if theres enough CO2 available. But if temp goes over 95 the assimilation stops.
I tested my flowering lamp and with that I can keep the temp around optimal 75 for thc production if weather out aint much hotter.
I give the plants basic nutrition about once a week.

That looks like a neat little setup, master. How does that watering system work?

Good luck with your Bigbud!

Thanks.
Wateringsystem works like this:


Benefits are that I dont have water it too often. For now about once a week is enough. But when they get bigger I think I have to water them more often. Time will tell.
Those tubes in the pics are for CO2. I havent got any CO2 tabs or bottle yet, so I have to make it that way.

Im planning to put a scrog on my plants and I was wondering witch hole size would be optimal? Also is it too early to start bending the branches? Plants are now about 2 inches tall and 4-5inches wide.

For curiosity, has anyone any experience growing Big Bud? Plants don't seem to grow much height. I have 1 plant outside and I dont now its brand, but its grown more heigh in only 4days than my BB:s in two weeks. I know that BB is not a tall plant and thats the reason I chose it, but still Im wondering the lack og height.:wtf:

to be honest with you , the size of your grow area needs to be alot bigger than what it is. now you have 4 big bud plants in hydro, i grew 1 bb plant in hydro and bent her 2 times, 1st time was at 4ft and the 2nd was at 6ft, when she was done she was over 7ft tall. now depending on your pheno type, with 4 plants growing at least 1 will out grow a 3x4 area. good luck

The grower who I bought the seeds from, gave me a estimation for the height of this strain to be around 17-22inches. I know my grow area is small, but if the seed growers estimation is right I shouldnt have huge problems.
And I can let them grow straight in to the lamp cause it aint hot enough to burn the plants. We'll see. I hope you're not right.

my main cola on my hydro bb grow was 13in long. now if you will be vegging them for 4-5 weeks your looking at 18-24 in before you start to flower. iam giving you heads up on the plant. the name says it all.

not trying to scare you but it will be better to know now than to run out of space later and kill your plants. this is my big bud hydro grow @ week 8 of 12/12 and she is a 9-10 week plant.
