1st time grow as a trial run while I'm waiting on the seeds to come
Hi Guys,
As the title states, this is the first time I am growing, as a trial run. I'm receiving, hopefully, seeds soon and I think that I got everything down pat. I got the 2 bigger plants back in late May and the smaller one, which is supposedly ak47, in july. As to the strain of the bigger ones, I haven't a clue, as they were given to me and the person didn't know what strain they are.
The 2 big ones have been placed in a 12/12 cycle a week ago for flowering and they are under a 400 w hps light. The "ak47" and 3 clones of the unknowns are under a fluorescent 105w lamp (the spiral type). I have them at 18/16. Maybe I'll put them at 20/4, but not sure. Well, being that it's 2:52 am here and I have to get up in 3 hours to go to work, I'll post pics real quick.
Suzie (the smaller unknown):
19 inches
Betsy:
21 inches
I also tested the PH of my water today with one of those paper strips and I believe that I got a near 7 providing that I did it right, lol.

I have the ladies in there as we speak, as it is the darkest (completely) area that I have. Today I'm going out to buy the ducts and fans necessary to ventilate the area well. I did install a circulating fan and by next month I'll be installing a 600 watt hps in there and taking out the 400 watt that I currently have to use for the veg room, combined with the 105 w fluorescent light that I have.
Cheers!

so I need to know what I'm doing, lol. I'm really looking forward to trying the LSD strain, I hear that it's an intense high. Any recommendatios as to which one I should plant first? I do plan to have some of the haze and the other auto's so that I can have something to smoke while I wait for the rest of them to catch up, lol

I got a freebie of the sweet deep grapefruit ...
I'm running it after my current grow.
I can't see any yellow in your pics, but I'm using a phone so I can't enlarge it. But hey, at least you did your homework and asked questions before you started. I have to give u some Rep for that my friend

Just to test my theory, I am building a "homebox" tonight complete with the lamp, 2 ventilators, tubing, mylar, etc. I'll post pics once I'm done. If it's the temp that's causing the yellowing, once they're in the box and receiving the heat from the lamp, it'll be all good.
I'm a bit concerned about the size of the pots I have them in. Do you know if they're okay? I can't remember what size they are.
Is this your first grow as well?
