First Grow

[canniwhatsis]

Hi All,.... Newbie to the forum, and to growing.


For our first grow we've picked up a Grandaddy purple clone, Nothing too advanced ATM, will be setting up a grow room over the next couple months,... In the meantime she can veg in the bedroom or out back. Wish me luck!:smokin:

Looks like I'll have to get some more posts before I can attach pics.

More to come

Until you hit the magic post count (I think it's 20) you can use an image host like imgur.com and post the links to your images.

Thanks, I'd link to an off site image gallery if I could,... but I managed to loose my password for PhotoBucket, and I'd kinda rather not have the pics there anyway.

I'll just have to try and get on more often and get the post count up.

Nearly a week has gone by, Not much progress.... I was hoping the little girl would take off better than this by now, but I'm really not set up as well as I should be at the moment.

The leaves at the bottom of the cutting are still on there but they are pretty yellow,... she's grown 3 new but there small, and the tips are browning up pretty quick. I know the first week or so with a clone can seem a bit rocky so my hopes are still high and she's starting to show signs of improvement.


She's potted in a #3 with Happy Frog soil, currently just using tap water that's been set out, tho not for 24 hours.


The wife found a little tiny grow lamp,... 15w and seems to be certain that it's enough with a small mylar inclosure in our closet. There's also a 4" fan blowing on her.

Still don't think I can post pics.

TTFN!

Found my way into the local hydro store and replaced the single 15 watt 18" T8 aquarium bulb with a 24" 4 tube T5 set from HydroFarm




Question, Should I remove the yellow leaves down at the bottom, The old growth ones from when the clone was clipped off the mother plant? :wtf:

Question, Should I remove the yellow leaves down at the bottom, The old growth ones from when the clone was clipped off the mother plant?

Some people remove the old yellow leaves, some don't. Personally I prefer to let them fall off when the plant is done with them. If it was blocking the light to a lower healthy leaf, I would remove it.

[canniwhatsis]

Well,... I went and plucked the 2 bottom leaves,... They weren't blocking anything cept the soil,.. but I still feel they were a tax on the plant as they were mostly yellow and the tips were brown/dry/curling. They fell off with hardly any downward pressure, so I'm fairly sure the plant doesn't miss them.

I guess I'm gonna have to wait more than a day to see how much she really likes the new lamps..... but I'm having fun watching her grow none the less!:i feel stupid:

And there goes my 18 hour alarm,..... which I'm gonna ignore tonight!


I'll turn the lights off when I go to sleep.

[canniwhatsis]

Picked up a timer to plug the lights and little fan into today.

Also got a thermometer that has humidity too. Temps are a bit high (85.5*), Humidity is WAY low (38%(It's Colorado, so no surprise))

After just one day under the new lamp she's stopped growing UP, and started sprouting branches from every single node,... even the ones that had leaves clipped off to root her! imp:



I know it's a B.S. post and there's no pics,... well there are, but I can't post attachments yet!








Now if I could just remember my Photobucket password:i feel stupid:

While you're getting your post count up so you can post pictures in your threads, go to your user cp (up top between Forum Home and Members list) and put your pictures in your photo album/pictures.

Let us know they are there!:thumbsup:
