First Grow - Rubbermaid / CFLs

[Ovrm1nd]

Hey all, Ive been browsing the forums for a while and figured I would post some pics to get some feedback.

This is my first grow, I followed a DIY rubbermaid guide for the grow room and am using 6 CFLs for lighitng. I am only attempting 2 plants currently and the project is more of an experiment than anything else.

The strain is a NL strain that ive had seeds to for awhile.

Any ways here are the pics, taken from my cell so I apologize for the bad quality. They are 3 weeks old since we germinated and planted them.

Let me know what you think

The first two pictures are of the plant that is growing the fastest however I noticed a couple of leafs have started to curl, is this normal?

Looks pretty sweet. =) Cool thing on the NL strain as well.

I have no idea what the temps are, I havent been checking them, or the pH of the water (i know i should)

Figured i would just keep on doing what im doing until i notice something look wrong.

the lights are GE Energy Smart CFL Light Bulb: 26 Watt (100W Equivalent) x6

First day switching into 12/12 light cycle. Took some pics but noticed one of the plants looks weird. Any suggestions? It looks like its stretching or dieing on me. I am not sure.

Please let me know what you think of the smaller plant! I want to save it if possible.

Good plant:





Not so good plant:

Any idea why the 2nd plant looks to be drooping / stretched / whatever you want to call it?

[killa12345]

ova....

the plant just looks a little overwatered....the one u say is the bad plant might just need little watering or extended days you water.... the plant looks good anyways....i really wouldnt change it.....how old r they?

Also......yoour leafs twisting is a result of high temps or being to close to the lights.....i also run a rubbermaid box check it out sometime! good luck

Ovrm1nd, I agree with killa on the overwatering possibly causing the drooping problem. Your plants look really great! They are about 1 week ahead of my pedigree beans, but they look like they are about 2 weeks ahead, easily! You're doing good work with them.

I'm looking forward to following your grow, and I wish you much success! Be good out there!

Hey all, it is now 15 days since I started the 12/12 light cycle and wanted to give you all an update. I think one of the plants is a male but i am not 100% certain.

Here is the plant that i think is a male. It is the one that was drooping in the last post.






Here is the other one, I still don't think its showing signs of sex yet. Hopefully it will soon.






Let me know what you think and do you think I should yank out the plant if it is male?

cant tell for sure man but if they look any what like balls in clusters (thats what it looks like to me) then its a male.
