Been readin' these boards for a few months now. Thanks much for the wealth of knowledge contained herein.

I've grown the odd plant outdoors, but this is my first indoor attempt. Hopefully this log can help others, as well as myself.

I ordered 10 Joey's Mix seeds from Hemp Depot.Marijuana Cannabis seeds at Hemp Depot Shipped Worldwide I have no idea what strain they are. They are supposed to be a random mix from Joey's Weed. $35 plus tax. Cheap, but I'm just experimenting right now.

I sprouted 6 in paper towel within about a week span, and planted them in 3 inch pots with some generic peat based potting mix (no nutes in mix).

They moved around from window sill to outside for a while, until I could hang some lights, where they've been since June 28th. They were 1-2 weeks old. I started with a couple of 4' Gro-Lux wide spectrum flourescents, but I don't think they liked it. They are now under 3 34W cool whites.

Transplanted June 5th, at 2-3 weeks. The roots of the older plants were just starting to crawl along the bottom of the pots. I put them in 8'x 10" (2 gallon) pails with holes drilled in the bottom. I used Pro Mix High Porosity mix, and watered them with Britta filtered tap water, which was allowed to stand over night. I added a few drops of Superthrive per gallon. Each pot took nearly a gallon of water before it started dripping out the bottom. The ph of the water was about 7, and the runoff ph was around 6 (my ph strips aren't very accurate).

Temps have been fairly constant at around 23C (73F) in the room, and 25C (77F) around the plants. Humidity is around 40-50 percent.

They are now 4-5 weeks old, and working on 4 and 5 nodes. Click the pics to enlarge.



I've numbered the plants as they were planted. 1 is the oldest, 6 is the youngest. About a week span between them.

Since I don't know what strains they are, educated guesses are welcome.

This is #1. The tallest and widest. Her and #2 got orange spots on their first true leaves when they were under the Grow-Lux. I figure it's just light burn, since no other leaves have them.





#2 has a kind of bubbly mottled texture to the leaves, even the new ones. It's the bushiest and smelliest of the bunch. In the last pic, you can see three things:

- the mottled texture
- the orange spots on the first true leaves
- and on the far left, there are some white spots. This is on a couple other plants as well. There are very tiny black specks around and on the spots. Mites?







#3 is a nice healthy looking specimen. Except for a few of those white spots/black specks.





#4 has a mutant second node. Half of it didn't grow properly. The white spot is probably housefly shit. I'm usink Konk now, for flies. I saw a couple of what looked like fungus gnats for a day or two, but they're dead now.






#5 has twisted leaves





#6 is the slowest growing. It took a looong time for it to shed it's seed casing. I had to help it a bit.





The last time they've had water was 8 days ago, when they were transplanted. I want to start giving them nutes (3-1-3), but the medium is still moist, and they don't seem thirsty at all. Should I wait until the soil is drier?

For the size of the pots, when should I start flowering? I don't want to transplant again, and I don't want the plants to get too rootbound. I'll be using lots of 24W warm cfl's because I have about 50 of them (don't ask). I'll be doing some light lst, and space isn't a problem, just the pot size.

Thanks for checking out my grow. Advice and comments are welcome.
