Ok so i decided to ave another go after killing off my last plant with far too much heat and then putting it too close to my lamp.

This time ive got a much better temp and a much larger space too so all should hopefully turn out well.

As a few of you will know i have been havin BIG STYLE heat probs so this will prob be a good sign for everyone on here thats been having problems... persevere it will come right eventally and you will save a LOT of money instead of buyin the stuff...

The light is a 400 watt HPS son-t phillips bulb a brand new bulb aswell so it should cool down a little after its been on a bit therefore giving less heat.

I germinated it on some tissue with water in the window ledge first i scrubbed along the line the seeds crack with some very light wet and dry sand paper too assist in the breaking of the seeds and they took 2 days to show roots. I planted the seedling into a peat pot with some really good quality potting soil and then placed that into the large pot/bucket once the plant was established.

The reason i have only done one for the time being is because of what happened last time and theres no point pottin em all for it still to be too hot when they start to get larger and end up wastin all my seeds so this is more of an experimental grow.

They are Northern Lights and sposed be 80% feminised and out of ten i have 4 left one i killed by cutting the root off when potting it 2 i gave to my bro and my mrs's mum both of which are hatched and female and the 3 i have done here all female and strong... One melted one growing now and the other was planted outside but my cat decided he was hungry and took it too peices lol hence the reason why im getting a greenhouse!

Ok so i started it on the 20th september so thats 12 days ago i think lol and ive got the small round first leaves and the next set (just one spikey leaf) starting to get bigger with the 3rd set just starting to appear right in the centre so tomoz i will probably have another set of leaves.

Rather than use nutes straight away ive managed to find some really good quality compost with miracle grow impregnated in it for about a 5'er at the local focus store. It says its good for 3 months which i imagine is no where near what i will get out of it with this kind of plant but im sure it will do me good till prob the next pyday after this one! (i hope)

So heres a few pics ive amalgamated over the last few days. the last few are the most upto date if anyones got anything to say add or help me out in my quest for a sweet smoke please feel free to praise or critisise i need as much help as i can get while im learning...

She really seems to be speeding up a lot at the moment! Soon be the time to FIM! And i cant wait...

What ya rekon guys?

Oh yeah nearly forgot... I bought a weed yesterday and we found a littering of about 20 seeds in the buds, so i stuck 3 in a towel and got up this morning to find they had all hatched! So im going to go and get some pots in next few days and stick em in see what we can make of em! Was not too bad weed so im hoping once its been grown n not polinated hopefully should be quite pukka!

yeah they are looking really sweet mate! nice n sturdy and bushing out pretty well. I got Northern Lights too. Non-feminised but got 5 out of 5 germinated. They are coming along nicely. I'm a lil worried about my light supply (4 x 20w CFL 6400K) Seems to be doing the job for the moment. Got 4 x 25w CFL 2700K for the flowering stage. Just hoping they are all gonna be enough. A bit like yourself tho i'm just experimenting at the moment. summat is BOUND to go tits up so don't wanna invest too much yet.

Do ya know much about nutes? I'm pretty skint myself at the mo but i know i'm gonna need some kind of nutrient. bought a decent soil but have been told i'm gonna need to add nutes by week 3 or 4. What are you doing about feeding them?

If i get my old fone sorted ill post up the fist half ov silvia's (my old plant that i melted-see my sig) life in pics to show the difference in without a light in window sill - Silvia, and with 400 watt HPS in closet. Its massive though... i mean by now my old plant was probably 8" tall with only 4 leaves and this one is about 4" tall and at least 10 possibly 12 leaves... So much smaller and more bushy with good lighting. But the stems on my old plant were real thick and strong with longer thinner leaves and much less dense foliage. I dried one to put in a frame and got it out yesterday... Man i forgot how big it was lol bigger than your hand easily! ill have take a pic of tha too to show ya!

See ill be honest mate i know nothing about CFL's... Ive got the 1 400 watt HPS son-t bulb and thats it all the way through! Its working a treat though...

I noticted today aswell it must be getting colder because ive had the door open since the beginning of the grow and yet i had to leave it closed for 4 hours today and the difference in temperature in there was massive and then i looked at the plant and its grown about a good inch a massive difference to the door open. maybe its a bit too cold with door open all day now?

As for nutes mate im in the same boat... Ive not got much money to buy either i think im only gonna nute in the flowering stage! Prob gonna use some bio bizz or something like that, just as long as its bloom im not too worried my last one had bonsai tree nutes and she looked fine to me. Ive got miracle grow soil too, thats impregnated with enough to last normal plants 4 months i think it is so i should be good till flowering. Ppl say thats its crap horrible soil and unpredictable and stuff and that it burns the plants but i dont really see any burns do you? infact it seems to be doing just the trick as long as you keep the enviroment right!

Ill grab a couple more photos before i go work then when i get home too see if there is much difference n post em up tomoz night!

Hey sup m8. Hehe i just started my northern lights grow today, ty for checking out my germ thread. Reps to you. I just ran my first learning grow with some mid seeds form bag. Cloned a few and started a flower chamber going with those, but this my first real grow. I subscribed. Got one seed popping thru the rockwool and a few soon i hope. I also got a mazar afgan in miracle grow seed starter soil, it appears to me it rocks. I grew my last plants in it and then transpalnted to hydro. I may have botched the rest of the grow (mosstly the heat of a 400) but the soil was good for me. Anyway i gonna run three northern lights and 1 bagseed in a 4 dwc hydro and 1 maxar afgan in a miracle grow soil. These will be mothers for my girls amd then off too the system u see in my avatar and a 400 watt hps in a 4x4x6.5 tent with a 6 inch grodan charcoal filter and 6 inch inline dan and a duct booster only steup for cold days. For the heat i got a Euro hood form htg. U gonna need it. Above 85 I thinking mass heat damge for my bagseed ocured as they were fluffed out. Also they got cheap filters on ebay with a fa attached for like 65 bucks. I gonna run that for the vegg cab as these girls stink!!!!!!. Hope i not hij jack yur thread but i just had the NL pop. Excited. Anyway heres a pic or two for yu hope they interest or help.

That last pic is my diy cloner lol. 100 percent success. Just drop some well cut little girls in there and in a few days rots. Got an airstone and superthrive. My next purchase flora nova nutes. ANyway sorry for the long post delte if ya like!!!
