First Grow: Jack the Ripper under a Procyon

[hatch]

Ya My Brother, They Are Looking & Doing Great, That Was A Good Move Adding The CFL's, Yes The Led's Would Have Be Fine, But A Little Extra Is Away's Better, Hell I Add 400watt's Of Them To My 1000w. HPS, & MH, I Added The UV-CFL's, About A Year Ago, Should have Done It 10 Year's Ago!!!........But Anyway, Your Doing A Great Job,.......Good Luck Through Out Your Grow!!!!

they're looking sooooooo freakin nice!!!
that's just how my first ones looked like.

I think I know what you mean about new leaves looking weird... I think they always look weird until they get bigger but I guess that's a normal thing?

If heat's no problem try setting the CFL's to about 6" away, or just let them grow up closer on their own. Either way they're still gonna do awesome, keep it up!

yeah im just gonna say eff it on the LST, keep it simple on the first grow.

Made the CFLs hang down from chains now instead of being clamped so tight, which means theyre only 2-3" from the top of the plants now. Here's some pics. :thumbsup:

Also fed with some Grow Big and Big Bloom. Gonna just start at week 2 of the FF feeding chart, going half strength on everything while I get a hang for this fertilizing thing.

Thanks for all the kind words everybody, much appreciated. :rastasmoke:

Word... Yeah I keep your first grow log mentally bookmarked WT. Every time I do something I'm like "alright now how did WT do it and how did it go for him" lol.

I only did 2 tsp of Grow Big and 2 tbsp of Big Bloom in 2 gallons of water (the schedule says 2 tsp / tbsp per gallon, so i halved both basically). I will make sure to feed w every other watering as well. As of right now, I need to water every 3 or 4 days. Does that sound right to you?

Also bought two rubbermaid tubs to put the plants in bc draining straight into the growhut is a bad idea. Especially since it doesnt exactly hold the water in, so if I overdo the watering the floor under the growhut gets a lil wet. And the floor under the growhut is concrete. In a dark cellar. So yeah, thats a recipe for disaster. :wtf:

the lights that you are using dont get that hot, so i would say that the amount you are watering is fine. if the soil is damp then you dont want to water. also if your plants are droopy they probably need water if the soil is dry. Good Luck! cant wait too see flowering

[SnSstealth]

yeah 3-4 days is where i was at in flowering

Alright, so update. Getting preflowers on all of the girls except the late plant. Will give her until Sunday and then I'm going to 12/12.

Girls are all between 6 and 10". Starting to crave water a little more... wonder if thats having the CFLs so close to them... gotta move em up every 2 or 3 days.

Been busy and not around, so thankfully the girls have been doing fine on autopilot the last week. Hope to check in more this week as things progress.

Prolly need to transplant to 3 gals once I switch to flowering, huh? :jointsmile:

Lates all
