confidence booster 1st grow all input welcome

[johnnyblaze326]

well i did start this post in outdoor which was supposed to be but things have changed...

These seeds are good bad seed that had me drooling for hours!

well this is my very 1st grow EVER
well i started on sept 24 .. I put 12 good bagseeds in generic potting soil in 32 oz cups with alot of holes since i didnt put perlite in soil

April 28 11/12 popped outta the soil waiting on number 12 but not to worried my magic number is 10...I started to use cfl lights for this grow 6 6500k lights...they worked great to start off ...turned the lights on to 18/6.

may 1 all plants looking good a little streching but no biggy they are in fact going outside by the end of May but i may Flower 1 or 2 in the house not sure yet i kinda wanna watch one grow in the house to learn and gain experience

may 5 I finally said hell with it and went and bought a 600 watt MH/Hps Greenhouse digi ballast ...hood is around 19 inch from tops of plants they are loving the Lumens

May 6 Installed to small fans and a wireless thermometer

May 11 well i got my magic number 10 for plants 1 never cracked and one decided to commit suicide ....

May 13 Transplanted into 1 gallon pots today i Decided id go with 70% FFOF and 30%LW with some extra perlite even know FFOF and LW already have some already but some more cant hurt

May 18 they will be 3 weeks old tomorrow they are getting big cant wait to get them outside and watch how big they get ...IM not sure what to expect out of these plants ...i will be transplanting outside by the end of may or sooner..with the same mixture of FFOF and LW plus i have Fox Farms trio pack to use if needed ..got my fingers crossed for many females



these pics were taken on MAY 18th

June 1st started to use Fox Farm Grow BIG the soil started to run out of nutes in the 1 gallon pot acouple leaves on bottom started to yellow and fall off no biggy though...Used 3 tbsp per gallon plants took it like a champ all but 1 just a couple burn marks no biggy didnt like that one anyways!!!:microwave:



June 11th Transplanted to 3 gallon pots with FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST im thinking more like i hope 3 gallon should be good enough to finish off in i dont wanna transplant again during flowering...from what i read is bad to do but correct me if im wrong please....After topping of with soil i watered and let settle then topped off again leaving room for watering

well its June 14 and im back on track with my journal to my post

been soo damn busy and all ...well i have moved 700 miles away from where i started the plants but i brought them with me ....transported them during their night hours which worked out perfect...didnt even show signs of stress at all ....well its june 14 i changed my timer ...im going to start knocking of a half hour everyday untill i reach 13/11 plus tomorrow morning ganna put the HPS bulb in and put up some 2600k cfls up just 4-5 of them to help with bud sites and all ....temps stay even all the time with the central ac and all around 77-79f barely gets to 80
Oh ya i only have 8 now by the way i left 2 in the other state i was in they are in the ground while someone watches over them ..ill be back up their in the end of september anyways they should be ready by then or chopped if they are males


what are peoples thoughts about 13/11 over 12-12 from my understanding just from reading not experience is it will be better for bud growth
WELL HERE ARE MY BABIES CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO SHOW THEIR SEX

[johnnyblaze326]

i hope atleast half of them are female ill be pissed if they arent ...next time im thinking of going feminized ...i just didnt want to spend money on my first grow and all i wanted AT LEAST 1 grow under my belt....

[johnnyblaze326]

cant wait till they show their sex getting axtious
well i just installed the HPS bulb and knocked another 30 min off their lighting schedule
Will put up more pics soon ...Watering day today..No nutes soil will provide that for the next couple weeks...maybe some superthrive

Everything is looking good from where I sit. Congrats on the successful relocation.

Once I had to move a plant 500 miles during the light cycle. I rigged up a DC inverter and 2 CFL's in the closet of an 18 wheeler. Worked like a charm Just had to do some weigh station dodging.

[johnnyblaze326]

where they in the stage of flowering or veggin when u moved them

[irydyum]

Flowering about 4 weeks in I woulda scrapped veg plants, but I wasn't giving up on my harvest.
