Ok, so here goes my First grow journal. I will have pics throughout the entire process, as well as descriptions of the pictures. Next week I will be getting my lights, as it is my b-day and I will have money. right now the babies are a week and a half old and they are sitting on my roof/patio, where their is atleast 6 hrs of DIRECT sunlight each day. they are responding really well, and really using up their water. the picture shows the plants a little more yellow than they are, actutally their not really yellow at all. I dont know why the pic did this...damn webcam. oh well, you get the idea. And BTW, my medium....for the clone/vegbox i use a mix of peat moss/ perlite/ blood meal for nitrogen, and a small amount of soil. This is all pre-mixed in a trash bag and red 20oz cups are filled for each seedling/clones in the future. For Flowering (while in my bloombox/closet) I use 2 liters to store the plants in, and use a mix of peat moss/ perlite/ vermiculite, soil, and bone meal. I use nutes that are 19-6-12 for veg and 6-14-14 for flowering. Here are the pics, and like i said, i will post new pics every few days and updates, so please, give me advice, ask questions, subscribe, etc. Thanks!

my medium mixes....i described what i use ^^^^



BELOW - the bottom half of my closet is the bloombox area, where i will put a 400w HPS and exhaust fans, air cooled lights, etc for flowering. I transplant into 2 liters for this stage, and will be tying the plants back while they are in veg and flowering so i can keep them under a foot and a half tall. 2' tops, i keep them like a bush, utilizing every spot that a bud can grow, and keep them very short, but still produce mad amounts of bud.


BELOW - MY CLONEBOX, going to install 2 125W CFL's at 6400K (the bulbs are 14" long! and an exhaust/intake fan in this rubbermaid tub. I keep the plants in red 20oz cups, they only get 8" tall max...then i flower them, this way i can tie them down and whatnot and keep them under 2' the entire time i grow them. can fit 15 red 20oz cups in there.


BELOW - next 2 pics are all 12 of my plants, I just plants 10 more yesterday, and hopefully they will come around, i germindated them to early, and started sprouting leaves in the paper towels, a few havent sprouted yet, a few are not lookin good, and a few are probably gonna be ok. who knows, dont really care to much, they are seeds from a bag of mids. Like i said the pics make em look way more yellow than they are, they actually are a lime green color and doing very well. most of them are perky and strong, since they are out on my roof right now getting lots of sun, when i get my 2 125W CFL's for my clonebox/veg box i will put all of them in there. under about 20 hrs of light a day. This will be next week, ill be getting my 400W HPS for my closet and the 2 125W 6400K CFL's for the vegbox. will have pics when i get em



a few look droopy, as i the morning just started, and they havent had but a half hr of light yet today, during the middle of the day they all stand straight up and perk up, they are doing really well, and im proud of myself




so that is all 12 of my plants, doing well, and my setup so far, like i said next week's my bday and with that money ill be getting my lights and setup finished. I will be posting pics atleats twice a week to show progress all the way until harvest. hope you enjoy, and please, comment, advise me, criticize me, ask questions, whatever. I need it. thanks, and peace!

ok, well, i transplanted today, into my new soil mix. the 12 i was growing was in basic potting soil, which got really clumpy and clay like so i bought some perlite, vermiculite, peat moss, blood meal, and bone meal, mixed it up and transplanted, same size containers, but i wanted to get a look at the roots, they are getting nice rootballs, so i think the transplanting helped. i managed to sit the roots higher in the cups than where they were in the others. i also only have 11 plants that are doing really well, one wilted and died about 2 days ago. i also have 5 seedlings of another strain growing right now next to the others. i would post pics, but it looks just the same. the cups weigh a lot, A LOT less, which is nice, lots of more air and whatnot for the roots. plants are looking great, and tommorrow ill get a pic to see how the transplant really affected them. thats the only way to tell...wait and see. ill have pics tom. (they are growing second set of leaves really nicely)
