Noatec's G33K Grow. Long time toke, first time grow.

All my research shows the most successful people keep a grow log.
I should have written down when I planted the seeds, but I would estimate approx. 2 weeks to sprout in high nutrient coconut husk and worm poop. They have been up about two weeks.
Re-planted the girls into a deeper pot to stabilize them. Very long stems before first leaves.
Decided I was going to have to bite the bullet and go to the grow shop and spend some money or lose them.

Went nuts at the hydro store today.
Two people came in smelling like weed. Probably a good place to make connections, outside of course. It's funny the don't ask don't tell, unspoken rule.
She knows what everyone is growing, I think she smokes. The shop is doing well.

Got the following:
Dual 400w ballast, w/ 1 HPS & 1 MH
4 mesh pots
Grow Nutrients
Pump / Air Stone / tubing.
Panda Film
Stone medium Hydroton

Clay rinsed until it ran clear.
Holes cut in tubs, and sanded smooth.

Four pots of clay pebbles soaking in 50% nutrients.
I'll replant tomorrow evening with a ball of coconut worm mixture made with a coffee filter.

Tokers forgive me for I have sinned. It's been 8 days since my last entry.
Posted a question about temp and got lots of help. Thanks Tinytoon, SpaceNeedle and LOC NAR on probation.

I put my res on top of a cooler and surrounded the whole thing with a space blanket. Temp is just below 80 now, It started to go past 80 until I turned the fan on. They literally seemed to come to life right before my eyes, it was pretty cool actually. I was up until 4:00 this morning reading forums.

Here's my setup.
1 dual 400W MH/HPS ballast running 18/6.
Space is approx. 5ft x 4ft.
I'm using FLORA NOVA 7-4-10 ( not sure what the numbers mean )
Water was left out ~36 hours then added 50% nutrients and ( rinsed until clear ) hydroton. They have always looked healthy , but this morning it looks like one is showing nut. burn. ( starting to yellow on the tips ). Thinking about adding a pump for slow drip, but I need to get permanent walls up this week.

Side note: I have a bunch of seeds from my last procurement. Really nice cerebral high that seems to really get my creative juices flowing. I've heard of Blueberry Kush, but not sure if this is it. It does leave a nice blueberry after taste though. I checked this out by sharing with my brother in law. He said it tasted like blueberry also. Is this the obvious reason they call it blueberry ?
Heading down to take some pics. I'll post shortly.

nice niiicee waitin on them pics! mmmm blueberry! try that super lemon haze :greenthumb:

[Noatec]

Let me clarify, my first grow is unknown, just some seeds from the procurement before the last. I don't know what the strain is, but it's real spacey if that tells you anything....

[Noatec]

Is there a safe place to post pics ?

[Noatec]

This was an experiment in slow drip. I used the tiniest drill bit i had to drill a hole in the bottom of the cups. It created a tiny spout that I could aim anywhere I wanted. I call it the "Piss on MyLadies" method. Still, the cups where empty by morning. I think it needs to be a slow drip so next time a sewing needle.

Once you have 20 posts on the forum you can post pics to your replies, but if you want a temporary/alternate solution, you can use photobucket/tinypic, LETS SEE THEM GIRLS!!

oh yeah html is off in some area of the growing forum, not really sure why that is, but it is, use the little " yellow mountain" above the text entry box to link in pictures.

[Noatec]

Did you get link or pic?

[bonedaddy420]

neither, its just a bunch of html code. you need to use your link within an IMG tag.
