Okay, So im going to start a grow journal.

As of today..........

SEEDS:
So I started fresh without the basic knowledge or supplies. I ordered 10 blueberry seeds and got 5 super silver haze seeds as a gift with the order. The whole time i was waiting for them I was freaking out and wondering if i would get busted. They came in less then a week!!!!!! I have went thru 6 BB seeds and 1 SSH seed before getting these two BB seeds to sprout. Basically I think i boiled/burnt the others up. I have 2 BB and 4 SSH seeds left. My shortest plant was potted in soil on 12-8-08 and the tallest is 1 week older.
seeds = 50$

LIGHTS:
I started off with just one cfl and then moved up to two cfls. These CFLS are around 23W (actual) and they are of unknown light specturm.

NUTES:
I wanted this to be an all organic and natural grow and thought that i did not need to add nutes. My plants are sick and dieing and growing freaking muchroooms instead of weed. They never started growing muchrooms untill I made tea out of spare soil and water (50/50 ratio). There was not propler nutes in the soil i bought.
Soil= 10$

So I just ordered a 150W HPS system (84$), ten 1/2 gallon grow bags(4$), & a 3-pack of FoxFarm nutes (40$)...(Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom). I am waiting for it to get here. I am not sure what to do once all of this gets here. I would prefer to get rid of this soil.. but its very costly to get some mailed in.

EDIT: I am using some sort of attic insulation to reflect the light. This is NOT an IR Blocking Sheet

My Questions to you the valued viewer....

1. I would like to keep a mother plus i would like to grow several varieties and keep mothers from them. I know I need to keep them under 18/6 - 24/0 lighting .. but is this all there is to it? Do i feed them different nutes?

2. Do i need a pH tester.

3. Should I get an Infared gun which is only 50 bucks on amazon.com

4. Which size of bags should i get?

5. What would you differently if you took my setup today and only had a few hundred dollars to work with?

Why did you pull the plants out of their containers. Are you transplanting into larger pots?

I wanted to look at there root system. And also to see how many shrums were in there... i had seen one sticking out of the side of the container. But I do want to transplant them into the 1/2 gallon bags once they arrive.. but i would really prefer to get some new damn soil and throw this soil away.... or get some anti fungal spray

You have to be patient with plants. You can't just go pulling the plant out when you're curious what the root system looks like. It stresses the plants and can send them into shock.

Don't pull them early. Don't add excessive nutes to try to make them grow faster. And don't rip your plants out because you are wondering how the roots are looking. lol

Patience is the biggest part of a good harvest.

I hear you shouldnt add nutes until you have at least 4 full fan leaves on the plant. Subscribed.
