Log-3-15 2 seed indoor grow..FIRST
Original Post-ish(condensed)
So my main worry about this set-up is the amount of light going to my plants. A little about the setup:
2'x21/2'x8' closet space
2 seeds from bagweed
potted both in a 2 or so gallon pot with MG potting soil-moisture control
Lighting:
40W g9 halogen bulb
a 10000K/15W florescent 18" florescent
Nutes:
none
Vent:
1 3x3 inch cooling fan exhausting the room
1 other 3x3 inch comp fan running inside room creating more circulation
Thats basically it. Let them take their own course probably without using nutes. I am trying to keep this ACAP
As CHEAP AS POSSIBLE
While learning as much as possible so SIMPLE is the plan
I don't have to many questions so far although i wish my plant were bigger 5 weeks in, its the lighting i assume.
As you can see they had a little bit of suffering which happened before i transplanted them to MG soil. The soil i had before was WAY worse but the little things seem to be starting to take to the new soil. Lights were also moved back down closer to the plants as they were before the pics. During the first 2-3 weeks of growth they were ALL about stem growth, possibly a nutrient/lighting problem...
Im total nwb so just putting all my thoughts out there. I will make sure to throw on pics of the *girls*(i hope) as they grow so come back take a look, comment and hey if you feel like it you can answer some questions^^^
All right thats all i can think of.
Sup wit it?
Peace
THE NEW PLAN--B
So we are a little more prepared this time. Finally grubbed the sack and pulled some bills out to do some this up right. Right'n'cheap of course. Only a few changes I made I will describe for you.
Oh and I think I made that orig post make myself sound, i believe, a lot less knowledgeable sounding than I really am. Its really very hard to put any of the theory and words that I have heard and read to action when setting up my own grow when all I am trying to do is simple simple simple; plant a seed in a basic soil, and OBSERVE, nothing more. I don't need this one to be a success as long as I am getting some learning from it which is why I have not reached with my pockets for anything "optional" stuff for this first grow and probably will go about it this way again until I get a better grasp on how these plants like it so I can see how these additional methods(nutes etc) will "improve" or affect my grow.
NUFF SAID
So simple being the key it was still crucial that i did something with the lighting. This was the real achilles heal in my set-up.
PLAN B-This time not using absolutely---WHATEVER I could find around aka lighting, so..
For now I have both plants in a 2 gallons of soil, same pot. They have been in there for 2 weeks now; MG soil, no ferts. I have used the 2'x21/2' space and placed 2 26W/1600 lumens@6500K CFL's in as well as the supplemental 15W 18" florescent light and 40W g9 Halogen bulb. I know this will not/is not enough light for now but money is tight and the grow future is uncertain as with only 2 seeds I am not sure if I have females or not.
Both seedlings are at 6 weeks now, today they are both at equal heights around a foot tall with very little leafage. Hopefully, now, with these veg-CFLs it'll do the trick and boom these plants so we can find out the sexes we got from these 2 seeds. Ill be taking special note to what I saw in the changes I have made thus far since this be my FIRST ever log/grow with a plant that has already given me a lot of learning. A little bit of my bg is in doing coral reef tanks so i guess my thumb has been a bit blue until now, its time to make it a bit green, yes? Im excited to MESS UP and LEARN and LEARN to MESS UP and hope that down the road I will have found pleasure and learned something useful, and cool as long as I get some satisfaction out of it as we all try and do.
So until now, I will be growing the plants both in the same pot until I get the vibe that they are growing their roots into each other then I will transplant one into a second bucket. Updates to come in the future, hold on tight! Are you with me?
