My first grow

[SmokeStack2]

Deaner don't worry nobody is going to come looking for ya. Your not even growing enough to get them interested. They have better things to do, they would have to get a search warrant and all that. Your not selling the stuff so don't worry.
Just enjoy the life of the plant keep things to your self and you'll be alright. This site looks like it's been here awhile so don't worry.

So did you just plant the cheese or did you germinate it first? About a week ago I planted some grandaddy purple seeds just putting them in soil and finnaly now One has popped up. Sometimes it just takes a long time.

My mini veg box has had some changes, the tray the clones were in was taking all the space, so I put the lil things in tupperware, a few were obviously struggling and had to go.
Flowering plants look great again, gets up to 85 before I get home, hoping to solve this before tommorow, 2 days hitting 85 is scaring me. Timer goes off, lights out, but windows open and temp drops, then in the a.m., no ventilation cuz I sealed it up at night. Gotta fix this problem asap! I'm not home when they come on, so I didn't think that through..
The cheese were germinated. The clones are kinda hidden from view in the tub photo. I can't believe how fast this stuff happens. Few days after opening the bag of seeds, there are little sprouts reaching for the sunshine!

Your going to notice when the Cheese gets more mature it's going to smell kinda funky but it's smell is Cheese. Kinda crazy. With that new lighting system you have now is really going to help the growth that's why your so surprised. You have a good grow going and your doing well. And you seem to have a nice grow room with plenty space to add more.

Yes, more is coming..

Sorry Deaner I have been busy with my grows recently and have not really had a chance to check in.

Deaner everthing in your first crop looks real good. I just want to go over a coulple of things in your second grow. First I see 12 Dixi cups, 3 with what I assume are clones, If so you are not cloaning properly. ( I will go over how to get good cloans later when I have time). How many week veg are you going to do on these seeds? How many seeds you got going? I would say you can fit 9 monster females in there so plan on what 3 cloans weed out the worst performer this crop for the next. I would start 12 seeds to get around 6 females (plan on 8 to 4 of them to be male in my first grow I started 15 and ended up with 9 females, remember though this could go the other way to)

As for 85 deg in your cabinet it is not ideal but tollerable for them but if it is getting that warm in there you do have a ventilation issue, you are going to have problems in the future with humidity. I had a scare in my grow where I started to get a musty smell from my grow box and had to spray for mold, It is gone now but scared the crap out of me.

i had trouble keeping my temps down but it never seemed to harm my plants,i've since found this in the cannabis faqs which i've found very helpful,seems i was taking radiant temps,but since following the simple advice here i can maintain temps in the 70s easily

[deaner]

Ventilation going in soon. My cloning technique is not very good, but I think if I would have lft them alone, there would be more, but I've already had to be selective, and weed out a few, I have more than enough babies for now.. I plan on expanding to the whole closet, adding another 600 wt, so I can have up to 18. I wanna get a blower/ducting for the light, going up and out, and maybe another just for the growroom.

Deaner the clone needs to have a fairly good size stock for it to do well. And they need normal indoor day light to make it. So hardly any light at all. I really couldnt tell by the picture how strong the light is but Im sure you have something Dim. And are you using rockwool for the clones? And any root growth formula? Im sure they will turn around and Lift up in time.

[deaner]

Can someone tell me where I am supposed to be looking when checkin sex?
I'm looking for little balls, right?

Also what are trichomes? Are they the crystals that form on the leaves and bud?

Can I use one magnification thing for both? I really don't wanna buy a microscope, a loupe is ok.

One of my plants is growing little bud looking leaves, thick fat and from the lower regions of the stem. They are kinda crystally, it's the only one with them, but it's a differernt strain, a clone that is supposedly female. I have only been looking with the naked eye cuz I'm not sure where to look anyway. And how soon should I really be paying close attention, theyhave only been in flower for like 4 days.

[deaner]

I used olivias cloning gel, I still have like 10 of them left, just made them take up less room, extras will be givin away to another friend that grows. They are under 24 hour flourescents with alot of distance from the light, I am gonna build a nice veg box where the tubs sitting, gonna be nice, look like a cabinet sitting on a dresser, gonna be fun project. Need funding, too bad theres no grants for this stuff.. Exhaust first then cabinet. Adios.
