My First Grow Room - Seed to Bud - Page 2

drybiedog · #11 10-11-2008, 08:46 AM

Checked the plants last night - all good but this morning...!!! oh no. One set of fluorescents was not on. Turns out it was a loose connection in the ballast. better be more ginger with it in the future. Some of the seedlings went about 4 hours with some pretty dim light. we are all back on track now.

Of the tailed seeds. 4 came up nicely(all in cubes), 1 in soil hasn't poked through yet and another in the cube (Hardy, ironically) is stubbornly not progressing.

Testing today if the flors are bright enough by growing one of the seedlings under a 42 watt CFL to see if it outperforms its brethren.

Also noticed that since insulating door the room has risen about 3 degrees. It's about 28C or 82F in there now.

Once I have a bunch of established plants - maybe a couple weeks - i might try putting them under a 600w MH to see if growth speeds up.

Here are the two CFL experiments. One of them in Grodan with nutes and the other in a grow cube placed in soil soon to be replanted in a pot. A couple of pictures of both.

heart skipped a beat during the 3 minute power outage!

Some pics:

My stretch is looking healthier with a lowered light and more "wind" on its stem.

3 seedlings more rocking in rockwool!

soil seed poked through.

The flowering bud has rooted but has no places to grow from. It has no shoots to veg from. thinking about yanking.

Grodan is doing well as is Laurel.

Cube transplanted into soil.

Haven't given up hope on Hardy but it isn't looking to good.

and the plants grow on...

Lots of shifting things around today. I now have 2 4inch RW cubes on the go. 2 biggish seedlings and 5 newbie seedlings. Gave them a good drink but I didn't have enough distilled water to soak the pots through. I'm going to buy one more 4L of distilled and then start using PH adjusted tap water.

Also the room has an overnight low of 70F which is good but it is still fairly warm outside (where the passive intake comes from).

Nifty DIY watering can!

I just thought I'd post with an update although the plants are pretty much where they were yesterday with slight growth if you were to inspect closely.

I also have a photo of the pulley which came with my HPS light. Does anyone have one and if so, what do you think of it? It looks kind of cheap to me and I'm thinking about moving to chains.

I'm feeling a lot happier about the room now as it's a little tidier and the plants look happy (for the moment).

I wonder if your passive vents during 12/12 could be fixed by having just one of those small 8" heater fan things next to the vent.. Not to make the room HOT, but to make it just normal temp... Just a thought. Im sure they are like $20 at Walmart.

Nice start! I'm about a week ahead of you on my first grow also. I bought a couple of those pulleys with my light, and they never did work. I returned them, and got some chain and "s" hooks.

It's an idea I'll have to keep up my sleeve. I like it but as yet the temps outside haven't dropped too much.

Thanks

Your babies are coming along sweetly too!
