My plant is already 14 days old, but better late than never. I've been "busy with school"...

For my first ever grow I'm using a setup just like the one in SeeMoreBuds' book, "Buds for Less".

The plant is in two 5-gallon buckets, with a proper drain hole. It sits in the corner of a siding closet.

As of right now my lights are 18/6.
CFLs:
1 - 65w (300 w equivalent)
2 - 42 (150 w)
2 - 23 (100 w)

Temps stay above 25º, sometimes reaching 30-32º.

I use a small fan to blow air onto the plant and act as wind (i.e. strengthen the stem) and a larger fan which hangs near the lights and blows the hot air out of the closet.

Comments are welcome.

nice!
where'd ya get the high wattage cfl's

nice strain love blue cheds

Those are not the actual CFL wattages, he listed the 'equivalent' value.

Actual 125W+ cfls are tubular shaped not coiled.

He has 1x 68w (300w eq) 2x 42w(150w equiv) 2x26w (100w equiv)
He has a total of 204W


I have been having nothing but problems from my bb blue cheese plant, it can't take nutrients worth shit and it is an extremely slow growing plant, might be the genetics of my seed, but I am not happy with it at all.

Looks like yours is fairing off a little better than mine is.

Sorry about the wattage mix-up, I thought I had already edited that.

The only other Blue Cheese grow I've seen was this which turned out dank as hell.

I haven't started with nutes yet but I have been adding a small bit of Thrive-Alive B-1 since I transplanted it. I don't really know how much of a difference it makes but it's looking good so far.

I'm still never 100% when to water. I order a cheap light/moisture/pH meter off ebay but I later read that it's kinda shitty. I watered it with just about 1.75 L yesterday in two waterings spaced 45 min apart. I also ordered a cheap Relative Humidity meter, just to see what that's up to.

i water mine every other day till the water starts to run out of the bottom but it depends on the weight of the pots if the pot feels heavy it prob dont need waterin work it out by weight good luckras

Day 15

Damn this is fun! Watching my baby grow is the highlight of my day. It's starting to take off, too! I grabbed my roommates camera, so these pics are pretty legit.

I did also mix in some bone meal and potash to the soil before I transplanted it. It only took a very small amount.

I moved the fan to another location, lower to the plant. Is there such a thing as too much "wind"? It's not a hurricane in my closet, and the plant isn't blowing over or anything like that, but couldn't it potentially dry out the soil? I don't think I'll ever be done tweaking and perfecting my closet.

I think I'm getting within a few days of switching over to 12/12... we'll see....

oh billy- those are looking great, fluorescents rock
