1st Time Grow Log

[jdbeier38]

Hey this will be my first grow log. I planted some germinated seeds(bagseed) on october 24th. This is just my attemt at growing with household things(not spending much money...and not growing much....just personal use) Pictures will be added as often as i can take them.

Here they are as of yesterday...(under magnafying glass to focus camera)

Suggestions/Tips/Criticism totally welcomed!




First Pic: I consider this the healthy of the two. It just seems normal...does it look ok?

Second Pic: I consider this to be my retard...ill get another angle to see...what do you think is wrong here?

Third Pic: Retard...just a different angle

Fourth Pic: Both of the babies I call them Peter and Retard:dance:

Fifth Pic: My setup....i have a little wall i made from cardboard that i put in front of it and there is now a computer fan hanging down over them. The light is a 20w CFL.

edit: This is day 12(pictures from day 11) ... i will upload new pictures sometime today.

Transplant now. Get those two out of the same pot into different pots before the roots get tangled and its too late. 1 plant, 1 pot, 1 problem. 2 plants 1 pot 1 problem = 2 problems. That, and they'll be fighting for nutrients if you grow them in the same one. Best to fix that before it gets impossible to.

Do you have the computer fan blowing directly on them? Its not necessarily a good idea to have a constant wind from one direction. The computer fan would be great for maintaining temperature / ventillation, but if you are going to have it pointed on the plants you'll want something that oscilates. Just get a cheap one from wal-mart, you'll be glad you did. Air blowing on the stems in nature is what causes the stem to strengthen up. If you don't have any air movement (you should see the leaves move a little) then your stems will be weak. Big stems = big plants = big buds. I'll post some helpful links I have bookmarked this evening when I get back to my computer. Other than that, good luck man. Keep us posted. I too am on my first true grow, you can see how my babies are looking if you click the first link in my signature.

I already was planning on getting two 10" pots and some of the same dirt i initially used from walmart tonight. how are they looking? think i should start buying some nutes of some sort? if so which kind?

The computer fan is hanging by a metal wire and is pointed to the wall next to the plant...which is bouncing off the wall and giving it a little bit of air..enough to make it worth it. Thanks for the suggestions! Keep em comin and thanks for the kind comments!:thumbsup:

Can anyone give an explanation as to of why 'Retard' is growing that leaf crooked?

[jdbeier38]

Going to walmart and buying 2 bigger pots right now...also i found a seed that had germinated it so i put that in a cup and im gonna try to sprout it....i also just dropped 3 more seeds into cups to give'r a whirl....we'll see...pics later!:stoned:

[jdbeier38]

Just snapped some pics...transplanting tomorrow into these nice new pots.

The dixie cups are the new seeds that i just planted...1 of them already popped the other 3 im just winging it.

Pics: First pic is of the setup as it sits..until tomorrow when i get another cfl set up and get the two beauties transplanted. Second pic is of the healthy one(Peter) ... i can see the little leaves growing under the leaves...should be getting some good progress soon. Third pic is just another view. Fourth...the retard...shes(i hope) getting better...isnt as retarded as it used to be. Fifth pic...yet again just another pic of the healthy one...i dunno i was bored...sorry if nothing has changed

lookin gd m8! Like ur set up. Nutriests are pretty much the same but be carfull not to over feed it - i got worm castings in what mite already be nutrient soil lol then i didnt mix the nutrients properly, just guesed, now one of my plants is curling back ooops!

I got more seeds now so its kl

[death racer]

those plants look good, im planing on trying what u are doing in this grow
with that one 20w cfl, r u planning on putting more cfls or do you think one is
enough?. i wouldnt try and separate those two plant i didnt once and they didnt
make it, i had a friend that grew 2 plants in the same pot and both grew up to be females. anyways good luck.

Here they are after being transplanted. I have another identicle cfl that im attempting to set up. What are some precautions i should take and things i should do after them JUST being transplanted? They seemed very limp and wimpy with the dirt at its normal level...so i raised it up and the stems are more covered than usual...is this ok? Anyways thanks for the help so far guys and keep the advice coming!
