This is my first grow. I'll use this first post to catch you up on what's happened so far.

I ordered BC Juicy Fruit, BC Mango and Purps from BCSeedKing.com. They had great customer service and I received my seeds promptly.

I'm starting this journal a little later in the grow so apologies if some details are fuzzy and the pics suck because I'm using my phone.

Here's what my grow will be using:

• Two 8 bulb T5 hoods (6500k) for vegging
• DarkRoom 5'x5' tent
• 1000w HPS (Hortilux Super HPS bulb) for flowering
• Fox Farm Ocean Forest for soil
• Fox Farm Trio and solubles

Here's the veg area. It's been moved a little since this pic.


Here's the flowering tent and light

So I received my seeds early July.

Here are the seeds.


After germinating 10 of each strain in a paper towel in a tupperware container on top of my cable box for 24 hours they all had popped a tap root. I put them into rockwool. Being a complete noob I didn't PH it. I also made the complete idiot mistake of using a small amount of Botanicare's PowerClone thinking it would help the germinated seeds take root.


You can see some of them in the background drooping over. There were 2 heat waves that week and I hadn't gotten my control of the room temperature down at all. I lost alot of the seedlings.

I transplanted the survivors after I found taproots under the rockwool cubes into I think 1/3 gal containers. There were a few purps left at this point but they didn't last long. Don't ask me why I individually tagged them, trying to be cool and organized I guess lulz.


What I was left with was 8 Juicyfruit and 4 Mango. I blame this on my being a complete noob and making lots of mistakes, but I learned alot. The remaining plants have been growing and doing well.



Bigger...
