First time grower set up! Am i on the right path???

[iarbaman]

Lots of questions today!!! Thanks!!! Like to know that people are interested in what i am doing, ate least trying to!
As i am not a native english speaker, you guys give me some slack today, cause i just got from a friend a 5g ball of Pakistane Hash!!! So, if i dont make anysense, you guys know why!!!
Anyway, i will check the soil bag label later, i can say that it has some cow manure, bat guano, ....
The nutrient solution is 7-4-4 ratio. is that too much or too little???
Since im growing then no higher than 2,5 feet tall, im using 1,5 galons pots. i know, kind of small! but with a bigger pot i would sacrifice some growing space i think. How wrong am i? I will try once like these, and we will learn from there! Maybe what i will get is more than fine for me.
About the vegging period, i guess 5 or 6 days, thats when i noticed they were growing more and more new sets of leafs! Did i get it right on these subject??? In the past ten days i gave some nute to them 2 times, with the more diluted ratio that was on the label; 1ml per 2liters of water.
So, since my wife doesnt cook, i will excuse my self now, cause i have to cook lunch for us!
Take care and keep the messages coming!

iarbaman Reviewed by iarbaman on 08-26-2006. First time grower set up! Am i on the right path??? Hi there! I am a first time grower from Japan in need of some advice. Before i started, i have researched a lot in books, on the net and stuff, but i really need some one who has the know how to tell me if i am at least close to to what a growing set uo should look like! It has been a month since my greenhouse seeds germinated, and i am worried they are not growing as they should. These week they really started to develop new leafs and stuff. So, i will be waiting for a repply from you guys! Rating: 5

Sorry, i forgot to say that i know about blowing some nice air on the plants, stronger stems and stuff. All the time the door closet is open with the fan blowing, plus the air cond. Is that ok??? about the temperature, its fucking hot in Japan at these time of year!!! But the humidit levels are 35-50 percent all the time. What do i learn from that???
Post you guys later with some new pics!!!

More humid, less hot, would be nice :P

[UnitedParcelSecrets]

won't you get your hands chopped off if you get caught?!

Just me, or was that a racist and ignorant attempt at humor?

[bud breath420]

hands chopped off... doesnt that happen in the middle east? not the far east? meh anyways your plants look great.. i was thinking if your useing flouros how do you have a heat problem ? hmm also wouldnt having more light in there be more benificial for plant growth? thus leaving the sidelights in there would be better for the plant? anyways nice looking plants !! your doing a good job

what is your watering schedule? I water and wait for the soil to dry than water wait for the soil to dry then water with nutreuns.Till the plants are in the 3rd week or so.I feed them every 3rd watering bring up the nutrences
strength slowly.I live in a hot and humid state so I have an airconditioner vent in my grow closet.The temp is around 75*to 80* and the humdity is between 45% to 65%.I have two home made dark roon vents in the door and one vent has a 25 cfm fan on it to pull out the stale air.I have'nt had any mold or bug problems.I have a fan inside blowing a cross the plants too.
One other thing WHAT IS THE PH OF YOUR WATER&NUTRENCES when you water and feed them? I use distilled water , the water here is crap.

Oh yes when the plants become bigger they are going too love that side light
you are giveing them.Great looking grow set up.Please keep us posted on your grow.
