This will be my first grow since high school. We successfully started 4 small plants back then but they were uprooted due to difficulties....

Now it's years later and I got a bag of mids with some seed in it. Decided to try things out and see how they go. I'm using a small 70w hps light and 2 2ft fluros for supplemental. I only started taking pictures 4 days in, so the first shots are of the first set of leaves.

The bag of mids was pretty high grade, so I am expecting some good bud out of these plants. I started with 4, but one germinated and never grew its root tip any more. So I am left with three - hopefully one of them will be a female. If all goes as planned then I will set up a larger scale.... this is a test grow.

Attached pictures are on the 3rd day after germination. The burnt looking place on one of them is NOT a burn - it is the dried out seed casing that is stuck to the cotyledon. I actually had to take a razor blade and cut the seed casing in the middle between the cotyledons because it was holding them closed. She looks fine though... just a little lanky.

Shots from today, 11/16/2008.

There is growth visible in the center of the plant in some of the pictures. I need to label them to keep track better. The pictures go in reverse order of their set up. 3-2-1.

Leaves are bigger.

where did you get the hps from? is it one of those cheap 20 dollar ones?

it is one of the cheaper hps lights... the color spectrum is good for growing though...

well on to day 5. everything is looking really good. Second set of leaves is starting to develop as is obvious in these pics. The temps were getting kind of high (80-83) but today it is cold outside and the average temp of the grow room is somewhere around 77. I've included some general pics of the set up. I'm in an area where I can't drill holes to hang the HPS light so it is suspended by rope - actually works out better because I can adjust height when needed. The fluros really aren't doing much at the moment - they can't be close enough because the HPS is close at the moment. You can see the general set up of the lights but you can't see the box that covers everything as I've removed it in the picture.

pictures are in order by plant number now.

oh and the HPS does something crazy to my camera so it has lines through the pictures.

I ordered some Jack's Classic the other day so I'll start introducing that in a couple weeks once the plants use up the in-soil ferts.

Today seems to have brought in some exponential growth. The second set of leaves are looking good on #1 and #2. #3 is the runt I suppose. Temps about the same today.
