It's been a long time coming, folks. Should have started this YEARS ago. Better late than never thanks to RIU and a good friend for encouraging to get off my arse and just do it!

Anyways, I got myself a L-size Homebox along with a 400w HPS, external ballast, inline fan with carbon filter and thermostat, and a few other goodies.

I'll be growing clones of NLX and BubbleGum (5 of each) from a reputable grower 'round here. i just sampled a bud of a finished NLX and it was seriously good

Here's what I'll be using:

-Janeco Light Mix soil from B'cuzz
-Canna Terra Vega

Flowering:
-Canna Terra Flores
-Canna PK 13-14
-Pure black molasses

I just finished setting up the Homebox today and received the clones a couple of hours ago. I'll keep the light at that height for the first 18 hours then lower it.

Please feel free to make any comments/recommendations/criticism as this is my first grow, any input is good input

Thanks for looking and wish me luck

Thanks mate

I hate doing a half-a$$ job on anything in life, so I figured growing is one of those things where you either jump in with both feet or you just don't

Hope my time spent researching pays off in the end

about Fax Farm... unfortunately where i live (Switzerland) it's hard to come by a wide variety of international brands in anything really. I've read great things about 'em though.

However, CANNA seem to also be well-respected (around here anyway) so we'll see.

watered them a little bit and switched the HPS on at dawn.

They seem to be adapting well to their new environment. I give em a lot of love

will continue to give them only water for the next 48 hours. Then I'll slowly start introducing the Veg nutes.

plz let me know what you think!

man your set-up looks great!

thanks mate. Appreciate you stopping by:

Here they are on the 3rd day. Two of them were wilting last night, so i gave them an extra dose of H2O and they're looking better today.

I attached some pics that i JUST took.

so far so good... kind of

I ended up cutting off some of the fan leaves that already had half the blades snipped off when they were just baby clones rooting. Figured no point wasting the plants' resources on leaves that will die anyways, so focus on new growth.

I also introduced a small fan to the Homebox to keep cool air circulating, and also toughen those stems.

They look good so far; especially the BubbleGums. The NLX (in case I never mentioned, this is a NL x WW) have also been steadily growing, but I discovered something freaky yesterday: most of the new fan leaves are looking mutant! some have only 3 blades, some 4, some have 2 big blades and one small one,etc. Really weird! I'll let them be, as long as the leaves do their job I really don't care how weird they look. Has anyone experienced this though?

The 1st pic attached is of the weird-lookin' leaves. The rest show the state of growth
