Grow #1 Bubblicious, 13 weeks in

[erock0609]

Hello Cannabis Community!:jointsmile:

Today will be my first post, on my first grow. The difference with this log apposed to all the others is that I am already in the 2nd week of flowering. In this first post I will try to catch all of you up to where I am today. Iâ??ve been taking truckloads of pictures so it should be pretty cool. I would love feedback from what I have done thus far.

On a trip to A-Dam about a year ago I purchased 10 Bubble Gum seed. They laid dormant in my stash box for almost two years until one evening after stumbling into my home I decided to put one in a paper towel. I forgot about the dish and kept on livin. Three days later I noticed the dish and found a dry towel with a small seed and a root. The sight of that first root inspired me. I planted Amber and went on to sprout two more seeds (Jade and Perl).

My set up:

- The top shelf of my closet 19â?� deep 35â?� high and 46â?� wide
- I enclosed the area with black plastic bags, tin foil on the sealing and inside and cloth on the outside
- Two 30 watt 120V FL tube bulbs (those new energy saving bulbs)
- During the day I open the front and place a small fan to air out the area


Sapling set up:

- Soil mix was a generic top soil mixed with perlite and vermicile
- I used 18oz clear pink (I know this made a difference) Dixie cups
- During the first two weeks I gave them each ¼ cup of spring using a spray bottle
- After one week Amber passed away ☹
- Perl grew much quicker than Jade, both looked healthy
- I fed them once with a MG 20-20-20
- Lights where on for 24hrs

Vegative growth:

- Once the saplings where big enough I transplanted them into 1-gallon water jugs.
- I Used a Miracle-Gro potting mix which is composed of peat moss, perlite, a
o wetting agent and a 0.21-0.07-0.14 fertilizer mix.
- -With nutes in the soil I didnâ??t feed for 3 weeks then I started them with a MG 8-7-6 with every other watering (every 2-3 days)
- Perl grew much quicker than Jade and before flowering was a full 3â?� taller
- -After 10 weeks I turned down the lights



Flowering:

- After only four days Jade decided she did not want to be a woman any longer and sprouted balls, Perl on the other hand was proud to be a woman and sprouted some hair.
- I pulled Jade and quickly turned him into butter (made some tasty brownies☺
- Now two 2.3 weeks into flowering Perl has 22 beautiful buds
- I ran into a little leaf problem see http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-pro...ering-sos.html
- I flushed her with a gallon of water and the leaf decay slowed. Now a week later itâ??s getting worse.
- Today I fed her for the first time with a MG Bloom Booster 15-30-15

Im not to worried about her because the buds are looking great and the decay is isolated to the fan leaves. If anyone has seen this before and has some input I would love to hear it.

Iâ??ll keep this a weekly log on how Perl is doing. Thanks for any input and enjoy the pics!!!

So far, sounds like its all going well, and your on the right track.

You can post pictures in "Quick Reply, and Go Advanced" Its the Tiny IMG with the Mountains on it One slot left of the Smiley's. Insert the flick from a "image hosting site" i.e. Flickr, Imageshack.us,photobucket...etc..and insert the link provided. Hope that helps lol I am high, like a 15-10

I'll see what I can do. Sorry about the slight delay on the upload. Hang tight. It's worth it:thumbsup:

Couldnâ??t wait to have 50 posts so here is my temp solution.

I'll continue to update Perlâ??s status on this thread and until I can post pics here I will continue uploading to the other thread why do they make it so hard for us? Donâ??t they know we smoke weed.

good work! especially if u havent moved them out of those gallon jugs.

EDIT: oh just read ur settup and how short they are. Still, good little grow man. Actually is inspiring me to go ahead and start growing a couple of my own using the exact same concept. I'm building a large grow room, but it won't be complete for at least one more month. Might as well have fun!

I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you do. :smokin:
