First indoors grow Log

[Mrbig1]

Been misting with a very reduced MG mist just to let it absorb some Nitrogen. Also mixed up a bottle of Fish emulsion 5-1-1 and some Molasses as a quick treat since fish emulsion gives a rapid release of Nitrogen but is Organic and shouldn't give the plant nute burn or anything plus fish emulsion has the same micro-organism property's as molasses. Ill also be getting more seeds from a buddy in the next 1-2 days

First indoors grow Log This is my second grow the first one was outside and did not turn out because 3 days of rain and then 3 days of like 80f+ killed it This is a little late i would say its about 1-2 weeks old 2-3 days For germination and the rest for seedling growth. Ive got it under 2 26w and 1 23w CFL with an 800rpm computer fan blowing cold air through the bottom so it stays nice and cool. The desiccant is just to get any access moisture out Up until i got this one to grow it took 3-4 attempts to Rating: 5

So the guy who is getting me the seeds has a 65w 6400k clamp grow light tucked somewhere that he said he would bring up with the seeds

Dude, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself. Especially being one of your first grows.

I just went thru this thread and im not surprised.. You're getting all kinds of contradicting information.. most of which is from another beginner...

Keep it as simple as possible:
1) LIGHTS
2) SOIL/NUTES
3) VENTILATION

Thats it.

A weed plant can get by the first 5,6 sometimes 7 nodes on merely 1/2 strength of a cheap root stimulator nute: ie. Schultz Starter Plus (5-10-5).

Just some Ideas:
- Flat white spray paint = 1$ (No foil, no mylar)
- 2 max CFLs until bigger
- That bottle's dents are gonna make it hard to transplant. Also, roots dont like light = wrap the soil part of the bottle in black tape
- Is fan exhausting? if so, a simple extra hole can then act as the passive air intake.

Ye I'm germinating 4 more only expecting 2-3 to germ tho and i'm just gonna go super basic and not mess with them as much i will try to do what you say


I just get to where i know what i need to do but it doesn't go as fast as you expect it to but that is one of the things I'm working on more patience >.< i just need to germ put in pots and let them grow >.<

Plus i have and have read 10+ books on growing marijuana so i know everything there is to know about growing but sometimes you have to ask others for help on things you don't get since reading and growing is totally different

Thats exactly it. I also did this recently when i went back to soil; Fed it week 2 formula way early..
-Now I start em in peat pellets until 2nd or 3rd node(water only).
-Then Transplant to party cup with a 1/2 str Root Nute and itl go until 6 or 7 nodes easily.
-Then Feed 1/2 str Nute mix for the first week formula(or you can stay with the root nute another week if it has healthy growth) every other watering and ur good.

Ye i think my only problem was i am using 2700k once i get some 6400k i think everything will be fine plus i follow your steps for the next set

It's like watching your baby grow.

U can try to help Mr big but he won't listen. Let him believe he needs to mist his f'n plants. Let him believe there is a such thing as too much light. It's fun to watch.
