My First Grow - Seeking criticism/advice!

[ST0N3Rmike]

Ok Guys I have an update! Unfortunately I was only able to germinate a few seeds in my location. Pic #1 is a Picture of the best looking plant of the three on Day 5. As well as picture #2

Today I will be moving it over to Location #2 where my buddy had the privelage of germinating another 16 seeds. See pic 3.

We are putting a flooring up today in the attic which will help alot, as well as hanging white drop cloths for makeshift walls. Were also gonna center the light and bring up fans. Already got a thermometer/hygrometer and the light is working wonders for our temperature situation .

Pic1 Sorry for shitty quality

i might be stupid, but to me it looks like that seedling is stretching towards the light. you may have to move the lights closer, but get a second opinion on that.

Hey, Is that fiberglas insulation? If so, even with the backing on it, you will get an ass-load of glas coating your sticky buds. At night time and with lights out, shine a flashlight from floor up. If you see a particle cloud in the beam of light then I would move them to a different location. Or finish the entire attic and vaccume every inch when done. If the space does have a ton of particulates, Even with an enclosed/sealed space within the attic, the amount of air that rushes in when you open it will heavily contaminate the bud by the end of bloom. Trust me, it will make your bud taste like total ass.(tried to convince a buddy one time, wouldn't listen) I use a sealed space with filters on my passive intakes and even though mine are in a pretty clean living space, I have to change the filters several times durring flower, they catch all the fine lint and carpet fibers that are always floating around. I'm very maticulous and maybe a little OCD too though. Just something to consider. Just noticed pic #2, what is that soil? Looks like it has pine bark and rocks in it.

perlite + organic potting soil. We will be making some major modifications. I will have to check on the insulation situation. Stay tuned.

You haven't ONCE mentioned what strain you are growing. Care to share??? :thumbsup::hippy:

Good Luck.

The seeds we have started are bag seed from some very decent buds. We will also be ordering some white widow seeds.

[ST0N3Rmike]

Out of the seedlings started , 7 survived and have been transplanted into 12" diameter plastic pots.

All the plants are looking great, around 6-7" in height except one.

Please look at the pics below and tell me if the plant will be ok. Its completely healthy but the stem is S shaped. Look at pics.

Pic #1 is the original.
Pic #2 is what I did to prop it up to encourage straight growth.






Should I not prop it up or should I keep it propped up?

[Italiano715]

Personally I wouldn't prop it up i'd tie that to the side of the pot (LST them) You should be able to get better yield and an even canopy that way, but do whatever your comfortable with first.....

^^ Same here. It looks like it LST'd itself from that first pic. I would just leave it and let it grow a little more, and LST it in that same direction. Once it hangs over the edge of the pot, I train it to grow around the edge of the pot. That's what I would do, but do what you think is best and everything should still turn out just fine :thumbsup:

[ST0N3Rmike]

Thanks for the input guys. I don't know whether or not I should LST this sole plant. I wasnt going to mess with any training techniques this time around, given its my first grow ever. Maybe I should though? Im just nervous hehe
