first grow log - only flouros for entirety of grow

[dion]

hey guys first and foremost i appreciate any and all advice whether is go suck a fat one or maybe you should try this.

this is my first go around with any of this stuff and i find it to be a quite consuming and very satisfying hobby. I really cant stop going and checking and looking and wondering. I had another thread (WHICH IF YOU CAN MOD-ZANDOR DELETE) and i didn't see a delete option, but i still have the before pics..

i tweaked my setup a little bit added more soil so support the plants and started using superthrive to reduce stress effects and what have yous.

here are the start of my little babies.. hopefully most will be female

thanks for you time, and hang out in this thread too, i don't even care if its on topic. thats the way i roll yo! lol

[dion]

more pics still, not quite caught up but im sure it will be in the middle of one of these sets, ill edit to clarify

Dion

ok that last pic is the start of the new set up with more soil etc.. blah di blah blah, so that being said, i have some more sets of pics.

[dion]

this is my last little set... they i would guess 3 weeks old, i had been running them 24/0 with 2 2foot flouros, then 2 days ago i added 2 30 watt cfls and switched to 18/6 via the adive of LIP.

what do you think so far. call me a bum i don't care seriously though, negatives, positives, or a "you post too many damn pictures" will work for me

the thermometer says the temp is somewhere around 80 degrees. so im glad about all that now. its not a freakin 90 degree constant


thanks

Looks pretty good but maybe get the lights a little closer.

[dion]

all sets of lights have been moved closer. all of them... they ought to be getting plenty of man-made sunshine now.. i also put some more relflective blanket on top of the lights. just another layer that is much much closer to the plants than is on the sides or top of the lid. its the way i had it laid out when i was growing them with flouros hanging from the ceiling with the plants on a shelf.

thanks again. i didn't know if the lights wouldn't need to be so close this time because it was in an enclosed area. but now they are... indeed quite close.

went to the store and got some bat guano and some 10-10-10 fertilizer.
called for 1/4 cup or so per cubic foot of soil. but i was very wary of all that so i took out a couple inches of soil in the pots already, added just a sprinkle of the fert pellets on 3 out of 4 of the pots, threw on some bat guano and sprinkled the dirt on top of all that.


we'll just have to see how it goes... and wow.. i don't have a very popular grow log. well people i love you too

[dion]

so i have on some of my plants noticable leaves sprouting from the nodes.. is this a good sign? a bad sign? does it mean they are males, or just leaves sprouting and its still to early to sex them?

thats something seriously plauging my mind right now, and a friendly fuck you jackass would be nice about now.

thanks
Dion
