My First Grow Log...Comments Appreciated!

[Binzhoubum]

:smokin:
I would like to start off this thread by saying thank you to everyone on cannabis.com who has helped me make this possible: Thank you! I have gotten alot of help from Mistyganjatree, BobBong, Carisma, and Black Bliss over the past couple weeks and I appreciate it alot.

I need to preface this grow log by saying I started the plants outside for the first three weeks. I didn't really expect to get so serious about growing, but after I found these message boards something kicked in my brain. I am now on a "mission from God", so to speak. Either way, I started out the plants in smaller pots and let them sit outside until the box was complete, and then I transplanted into the pots you see now and stuck them in the box. I haven't had too many problems, I think except one of the plants can't seem to get over it's yellowing leaves issue. Seems like all the green is going to the top of the plant because this particular plant is a much darker green at the top than the others.

Either way, I should also let you know this is my first grow and I am just using some bagseed. I have noticed that my plants do not seem as bushy as others I have seen on the boards, but I think it is probably due to the fact they were started outside, and we don't have the greatest of weather 'round these parts. I am thinking about giving them a couple more days of veg, and then just flowering, but I am not really sure.

Here are the details:

115 cm. long, 75 cm. deep, 150 cm. high
7--90 cm. Phillips Fl. lights. (Veg. 6100K, 2175 lumens, 30 watt)
(Flowering--2900K, 2175 lumens, 30 watt)---for flowering I plan on using 5 2900K lights and leave the other two 6100K
18/6 light cycle at the moment
Temps. 77-84 F (It fluctuates during the day and night)

Also, before you post any comments, I am working on the light leak problem right now and plan to have it fixed before I flower.

Thanks for any input! :smokin:

As the title implies...more pics. :smokin:

As I said earlier, I have this one plant that always seems to have yellowing leaves. I have fed it some 20-20-20 nutes just like the other plants, but this one continues to grow yellow towards the bottom and more dark green on top than the others...why?

Either way, I also wanted to note that I know I made the mistake of having two or three plants in one pot in a couple of the pots. They all started out strong and haven't had many problems thus far, so I figured let it go and see what happens. Learn from experience.

Hi Binz,

they look pretty, apart from some yellowing of lower leaves.
As stated in the chat, I'd give them some side lighting and remove the big side fl you currently have as the plants will grow nowhere near that big.

Adding another fl on the back and on each side at plants level would sure help a bit.

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

Just my 0.02$

Cheers,

Looking good, a also a nice set up

I've found foliar feeding in veg with an organic grow mix. Helps yellowing and stress alot.
I will always foliar feed in veg for now on.
And early flowering too.
I use a little of the pure blend pro grow in a spray bottle.

I have been spraying them down every couple days with a 20-20-20 mix. I can't find the name brand nutes out here so I have to go by the N-P-K numbers I see on the box. Is 20-20-20 suitable for veg? It seems I have seen more than a few logs who use this ratio.

Also, I am going out tomorrow to fix the lighting for the sides of my box. I will add three 60 cm. fl tubes to the side if all goes as planned. :smokin:

Thanks for the feeback guys!:thumbsup: :smokin:

nice job... thanks for the idea.... my creativity failed me.... i am currently making a veg box using a combo of flour. tubes and CFL's.... you just gave me the assistance on how to mount the lights.... on another piece of wood so it can be raised and lowered easily.... makes it nice and clean, THANKS!

good luck on the grow... look forward to seeing the progress

Thanks for the positive feedback guys! It only motivates me more! :smokin: I'll post some more pics when I get my side-lighting reworked.
