THC's First grow log - WW Feminized from Nirvana

[THContent]

Ok, so here it is guys, my first grow ever. Got pretty much all the necessities for this from start to finish. My space limits me to 2 plants/grow area:

- 600W HPS/MH setup for lighting (MH for veg, HPS for flowering)
- Fox Farm Ocean Forest Organic Soil mix, mixed with 20%-30% Perlite
- Small planters, 1 Gallon planter, 3 Gallon planter
- Fox Farm Trio pack: Big Bloom, Grow Big, and Tiger Bloom for nutes
- Black & White Panda Film for walls/ceiling/floor
- PH Tester for soil/water
- PH Hydroponic Up and Down ph adjuster
- Extra bag of bat guano
- Extra bag of worm castings
- Digital Timer
- Hygrometer for Temp/Humidity
- Duct tape, staple gun (for panda film)
- One stand up fan (adjustable height and movement) for air circulation in
- One round fan 3 speeds, for air out
- Going to pick up a few automatic air fresheners for smell later on in flowering stage.


Right now my 2 White Widow Feminized seeds are inside a glass butter holder wrapped in a moistened paper towel. Did approx 20 mins ago, temp is roughly 81 degrees and humidity is 56%, inside the butter holder it is obviously more like 99%.

Here is a few pics of what I have so far

damn bro...im new to all this, workin on getn my card...for the 1st gro looks awesome, i cant wait... did u buy some books to figure all this out, if so, what books?:thumbsup:

Thanks man, I honestly haven't read any books on it :/ But I can tell you this, I am a pretender so whenever it comes to doing stuff I have a pretty good idea of how to catch on. Common sense if you will. But other than that just research, put your heart in to it, and it will repay you, it's like anything. And, use these forums to assist you.

Thanks canni... I transplanted from 1 gallon to 3 gallon. Might even go to 5 gallon if I wanna take it that far, but for right now, I am going to try and get some side lighting, I don't wanna see my plants die just yet haha. Maybe a couple of CFL's on the sides.

Your plants look kick ass!


No, that's NOT root bound, but yeah it was pretty close, and certainly ready for transplanting,.... By looking at the following pics you didn't up pot by much :wtf:


Your lower leaves are not receiving enough light since the canopy of the plant is now covering them, so the plant is pulling the nutes out of them and letting them die.


As Rusty would say, "Old growth is old news" I wouldn't worry about them and focus on the top of your canopy.



Looking at your thermometer, try and get your temps down a bit more, it's ok, but shaving a couple degree's wouldn't hurt by what I understand. For Veg, you can get up into the 50-60% range for humidity, Might be a hand-in-hand thing, lower your temps, your humidity "Should" increase.


As for any literature,.... Look on Amazon.com for "Jorge Cervantes Marijuana horticulture, The indoor/outdoor Medical grower's bible" ! This book contains bookoo info overload! Good read.



All BS aside, plants look good! :thumbsup:

Day 30 of veg, transplanted today (even got a pic)


I managed to catch a shot of the roots, is this rootbound?






What is the deal with the leaves, I am sure it is not nute def since I just burned them.

Here is my grow area and the things I have so far

[drudown11]

your gunna need to get the room sealed up with air moving in, and air moving out. If the air doesnt get removed from the room it doesnt matter how much you blow it around with an oscillating fan, its still gunna stink during flower.

I had a closet grow and i had a whole cut in the ceiling with a 4 inch fan blowing air outside. With the fan on and the closet sealed up, you couldnt smell a god damn thing.


Now if you turn that fan off and let the air sit.........oohhhh boy my whole house would smell like weed.




You should set your light up and turn it on for a test run. Put your Hygrometer in their and see what the temps and Humidity is. This way you can adjust your growroom and prepare for any temperature or humidity issues that might arise before you have anything to lose.

It looks like you got a good plan though. I will be following along with this one.



Is this your first grow?

I agree 100%, I forgot to mention, the closet door will be open at least a foot since I am not a carpenter haha, I will have the round fan near the top of the room blowing air out and the oscillating fan blowing air in, the window will be open as well. And I have 2 ionic air purifiers to help with smell, as well as air wick auto air fresheners.

Think that will do the trick? I am going to start off with the MH like I said, but I was seriously considering getting a 250W HPS for the space I have, to at least cut down on the heating. Air temps around this time of year is about 70-90 degrees, as it gets hotter I will either run the AC to control temp, and possibly add more fans for added airflow, airflow is key!

EDIT:

Yes, very first grow, I did my homework as you can see haha And I would turn my whole room in to a grow area but I have 3 kids and a gf that is paranoid about getting caught lol, so closet space is all I can work with
