RideTheFire's indoor mids grow

[ridethefire]

Hey everyone...

Just started my second grow, first time indoors. Im about 10 days into it and I have about 27 children in a planter not all of which have 6 leaves yet. After bringing them outdoors during the day and under a 50/50 plant aquatic light at night for the first 9 days. They look healthy but seemed to need more light so I went out and bought an ott grow light bulb (middle) and two 125 watt CFLs (sides) and positioned them on a home made ballast. Tin foiled around to trap some of the light.

Pictures to come in the A.M.

These are pictures of the plants when they were still in the planter under 50/50 fluorescent tube...

That last pic is funny.
But you are going to regret not giving them their own pots pretty soon!

Finally got more lights last night. Found (85w) CFLs that put out 250 watts each. Along with those I have 2-125 watt cfls and an ott grow light. They seem to be doing better just overnight with the added wattage. Im guessing that we are like 12-14 days from popping.

Nothing's wrong with it. Those are just the seed-leaves. They die off because they are just sort of little jump-starters for the plant. Like how the space shuttle dumps its booster rockets right away.

You deffinately want to be carefull bring your indoor plants outside. They will get bugged before you know it. i lost a whole harvest because i did that.

It was originally going to be an outdoor grow but then we decided to splurge on lights... Depending on the # of females half of them still might go outside a couple weeks into flowering.

Update...

They arent looking as "happy" as normal. They seem to be turning a lighter green on some spots and other whole leaves... No nutes given to them yet but I might. Think I might be lacking nitrogen-or could be the water im giving them.
Maybe i should start buying filtered water for them...


Pictures coming later on tonight...

Update 11/12/06
NEW DIGITAL CAMERA :dance: !!! No more shitty phone pictures.

Had them in the attic so I think the problem was the heat during the day. We semi-fixed that with fans so its not getting up in the 90oF+ range. The children seem to be doing okay... Starting to turn dark green again but I def. dont think they are enjoying living in soda cans. Seems like growing has slowed drastically in the last 3 days so we are transplanting them tonight into bigger pots and going to start nutes...

Looking forward to switchin 12/12 time!:rasta:

Turns out you not only need pots to transplant, you need soil as well...

Back to the store tomorrow...
