Hey guys,

Here is the start of my grow journal.

This is my 2nd attempt in growing. I just recently had 2 plants that made it all the way to week 5 bloom. Then I got root rot. I am using clay pellets and pots in this 2nd run. The first time I wasn't using any medium other then the 4" cubes.

I currently have 2 Super Bubba Kush in veg that I cloned from my original SBBK on 03/16. The original I bought as a 15th gen clone from another grower. Unfortuanatly the original I bought died, But I do have these 2 clones from her!

I also got 4 Purple Kush seeds last week. I put them in rockwool cubes on 04/17 and this morning 1 of them has popped it's head out!

I just took some pix of what I have going on in the veg room right now. The bloom room is empty. I'm getting ready to move 1 or 2 of my current SBBK that are a foot tall. I would like to keep 1 as a mother, But I have taken 8 clones from them and really would like to have 2 plants going.

I'm a newbie and would love to hear anyone's advice, suggestions or criticism. I want this grow to go right.

I have roots growing out of the bottoms of both pots. Should I cover the roots with something?

WOW!! Sneakers. Looks freakin great. You have obviously learned a lot, really nice looking.

Those roots are going to want to spread all over that table. You really should have something covering the table then cut holes in it and drop your pots in. You could pull some black and white poly over top of table(cheapest but affective way) and tape edges then cut holes and drop in pots. This will keep light and some heat off roots.

Or there is that white plastic sign board you can get ,,comes in 4 x 8 sheets half inch thick. Cut it to sit on top of table and cut appropriate holes and drop in pots. Seeing as it is white it still lets in light so I still cover that board with black and white poly to keep as much light out as possible.(thats the way I do it)

if you click my sig you will see what i mean by covering your table and cutting holes and dropping in pots.

I see success for you in the growing game. Keep up the good work!

Peace!

man your gonna be an awesome grower buddy! thats very impressive for your 2nd....keep it up man.

Thanx bro,

I am going to move the 2 big girls into the bloom room today. The tables in the bloom room are 4'x4'. I'm going to see what I can put together to cover the roots. That is what killed my other 2 plants 5 weeks into bloom. I had a bunch of roots growing onto the table and got root rot. But I also was not using any medium, just the cubes. I got some bad advice in the begining. I'll take some pix once I get everything together.

Later

Thanx for the props dude

Yeah, Thanx to this forum I have learned a lot on my first run. I have made mass changes. I'm going to list everything I do here so that if I start to do something wrong, Ya'll can let me know. Another kewl thing I was thinking is if someone else wants to do a set-up like I have. This could serve as a way for them to learn too.

My first grow went bad. I had a thread where I was trying to save my plants. They weren't coming back. So I harvested them early.

If you would like to see the thread of my first grow, here is the link.

My plants went to healthy to dying in 1 week! Help!

homie i read your story...and when you said that your mentor was doing things different (maybe old school) I can totally relate because thats how my mentor is...i had to make alot of changes as far as ph etc to be more efficient. I grow in soil...i dont know much about hydro but good luck...and by all means dont feel bad...my first grow was full of bag seed HERMIES

Today I moved my 2 plants from the veg room into the bloom room.

I used plastic to cover the area where the roots will be. I hope this will be sufficient.

Only 8 weeks left, thats if I don't fuck it up!

Here's a pic of the two after I finished setting them up.
