This is my first grow. I am growing feminized seeds from Female Seeds. I have 2 Grapefruit and 3 Ice. They are in a Hydro Hut under a 600W Hortilux bulb.

I commited mistakes along the way. I popped the first seeds on November 18th directly in Rapid Rooters. That was my first mistake. I should have sprouted the seeds before placing them in the RR. I don't know if it was just my seeds, but they seemed to be stupid. For some reason the roots would grow up towards the light, instead of down into the RRs. I ended up having to sprout 5 of each strain to end up with 3 of the Ice and 2 of the Grapefruit.

After I thought they were ready, I made my second mistake. I put them into a DWC setup. Wow, what a battle. I fought algae and pH for a few weeks, and finally said, "I yield." Hydro just isn't for me. I transplanted the girls to Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil in 2 gallon pots on December 5.

After that, they grew like weeds. (Yes, I can hear your groans.) Soil suits me much better. I love the smell of good, rich soil. I spent my formative years in Iowa, so I know good soil.

I then made my next mistake. I fertilized too early. Note for FF Ocean Forest users: You may not need ferts until flowering, at least in my case I didn't.

Well, in any case they have survived my blundering fert burns. I transplanted them into 4 gallon pots on Christmas, and put them into flower 3 days later, December 28.

Thanks for reading. Any comments, critiques, and questions are welcome.

The following pics are from 5 days into flowering, January 3.
