Default New room - first grow with pics...updated with pics (male?) please scroll down.
Hey guys,

First post, new room and first grow!

I have been lurking here for a few weeks reading, learning and trying to fix all my first time grow mistakes. I just figured I would finally post some pics of my setup and grow thus far.

I will say I'm happy with how the plants are doing considering the beating they took while I was learning! All started with 10 old bag seeds, 9 germed and one plant died. These poor guys actually started their first week in the window sil while I was finishing up the room....

My learning experience -

1. Started in MG soil and I WAY overwatered and burnt the hell out of them. Re-planted in Foxfarm...

2. Never checked PH in the begining and it was 8.0-8.1 out of my tap! PH tester and PH down (5.8-6.0 now)+ allowed water to sit out for a few days...

3. Temps in my grow room were hitting 91-92. Fixed with proper ventalation and now it runs 78-80 with lights on and 72-74 off...

4. (part of number one) I only water when they seem to need it now...

5. (part of number again) I was using Dr. Shultz 10-15-10 in the first few weeks and burnt them. Flushed and went to Foxfarm grow big/big bloom very light dosages. (now full dose big bloom as I just started flowering)

6. They like it when I just leave them the f*** alone! I was loving them too much...hehe

I have some AK, Kush and big bud for my second grow. I just wanted use bag seed for my first grow in case it went really bad!

All these bag seed plants appear to be Sativa and I have 2 at 12-14" tall (in the same pot - I know,I know), 3 at about 20-24" and 3 at 34-36". The pics are about a week old and just started flowering 2 days ago. My 3 tall girls (hopefully) I will have to start training as I know they will hit my 6' max height mark... I have more than the room can support really right now once they get even bigger, but I figure there will be some males...

Room (fairly stealth) -

Attic room 4' x 4' x 7' (only using about 3 x 4 for grow - using some space to stand and for water/supplies)
1 - 400 MH/HPS
2 - 65 watt CFLs (on the sides)
2 - 80cfm fans for light (one inline and one pusher on the light)
1 - 140cfm fan for the room
air is fed from my media room via 6" duct with the house a/c at 72 the room stays within 72-80.
1- 8" fan for air movement
1" R7 foam board walls + R13 insulation and yes I did the paper out on purpose since I am working close to room.

2 DIY carbon filters

This part of the attic was over the garage with NO access originally. I now access it behind a 3' x 6' sound panel that I hinged in my up stairs mediaroom. And I didn't want to go overboard on the size as it's just for the wife and I...

Sorry for the long post, I just figured some of you may enjoy. Thanks for all the valuable information! I'm having a blast with my first grow and my second grow should be awesome!

Oh yeah - vegged for 5 weeks and 2 days at 20/4 and just switched to 12/12 two days ago...can't wait to

Let me know what you think!

I have no idea, I just started with some old bag seed I had lying around for years. I have some AK, Kush and Big Bud for my second grow, I just wanted use some seed I didn't really care about to learn from for my first grow....

I wanted to veg for another week or two to let a few of the smaller ones fill out more, but 3 of the plants were just getting to tall...

Hey guys, based on my pics can anyone tell what kind of Sativa I may have or flowering time. I have read that Sativa flowering could run up to 15 weeks?

Very nice setup!

Based on my small amt. of experience, I think sativas do take a bit longer, as mine seem to be 1-2 weeks behind my indica dominant plants. So yes, they will probably take a bit longer but I would guess no more then 11 weeks max.


Happy growing

Yes I should have added that to my list of growing lessons/experiences. Those pics are about a week old and I think I had a bit of moisture stress as the light was just a bit to close at 10-12". I wasn't watching their grow rate close enough. I have since hung a string at 16" and moved the light up accordingly. The leaves have since flattend back out pretty well.

Hey guys - now almost a week into flower 3 out of my 8 plants are showing sex. Out of the three showing 2 are def females . But the one looks male to me - I just wanted some reassurance before I pitch it that its a male.

Please take a look and let me know..

Pic 1 and 2 are the potential male and pic 3 is my female. The other female pic looks identical...
