    Default 528 watt CFL grow

    Hola RIU amigos!

    So I'm finally getting started on my first grow journal! yay. ok so heres the stats:

    Plants: 3 bagseed, 1 of which seems mostly sativa: plant #1, 1 seems mostly indica: plant #2, and 1 seems to be neither, or both: plant #3

    Soil: Miracle Gro moisture control, NPK: 15-5-10 for during veg. Havent gotten soil for flowering yet, but i will prbly use a mix of mushroom compost and perlite, unless i can find a way to get some fox farms...

    Lights: All CFL, 6 23 watt 6500K bulbs, 14 23 watt 2700K bulbs, and one 68 watt 2700k bulb

    Grow Space: 4ftx3ftx6ft closet

    Ok so im actually starting this journal 2 weeks in. the seeds were germinated in paper towels, 2 seeds sprouted and were put in rapid rooter plugs within 36 hours plant #3 was started a week later.

    the plants grew fast and stacked, but last night #2 developed what looks like some kind of nutrient burn. the first pair of true leaves turned an ugly yellow color, dried up and turned super crispy, and the second pair of leaves has spots on its leaves near the edge that are just as crispy and ugly, but the rest of the leaves look perfectly healthy...any advice appreciated!!!

    pics are as follows: 1,2: light setup for early veg. 3,4,5: pics of plant #1. 6,7,8,9,10,11: pics of plant #2...with 9,10,11 focusing on the burn spots. 12: a comparison of height between #1 and 2, #1 on the left. and pic 13 is my canteloupe

    alright, so its day 18 and the plants are getting big! the prblms with the kush plant have not worsened, but neither have they gotten better. anyway not alot to report but i think i will be putting the babies into 12/12 this sunday, after a 24 hr dark period to speed the sexing. the plants may only be 3-4 inches tall, but they are on their 5th and even 7th set of leaves coming out....not to mention the perinodal branches are already out half an inch or more.

    well heres the pics for ya! enjoy...

    ps. somebody say something!! lol my journal is so lonely...

    no big concerns that i can see. young plants are sensitive, they don't have the resilience of an older, stronger, more established plants..

    go easy on the fertilizer, and be careful not to get any moisture on the leafs when you water, like don't pour water over them.
    granted you're growing CFL but moisture on the leaf can magnify the light and burn the leaves a little.. think little kid on the sidewalk torturing ants with his brand new boy scout standard issue magnifying glass.

    Soil: Miracle Gro moisture control, NPK: 15-5-10 for during veg. Havent gotten soil for flowering yet, but i will prbly use a mix of mushroom compost and perlite, unless i can find a way to get some fox farms...
    The soil you are in now.
    Is the soil you will flower with.

    You don't want go around uprooting your precious females, once the roots are established, and the plant is a vulnerable state of pre flowering.
    if you plan to change soils, transplant now! into a peat or coco container, and then take that later into a larger bag or other container.
    uprooting for transplants is ok... but being able to take the container and place it directly into a larger one that it can root through into is better...
    does that make sense?

    i grow hydro, so some of that is pulled out of my ass and the rest i gather from what i've read here, and also other general gardening knowledge.

    hope my words help and happy growing and good luck and +rep for a good start!!!

    Ok its good to hear that it may not be a prblm with the burns, and the plants do indeed seem to still be growing uninhibited. as for the peat containers, i cant believe i didnt even think of that lol. i even have a buddy that grows his plants in cleaned and thinned watermelon halves, and the roots just start growning out the sides when its done.

    well i flushed the plants with a few gallons of water, and ill see if the improve ovber the next day. and saturday brings the start of the 24 hour darkness!

    i also moved my plants a little farther frome the lights and moved them within range of the 2700k lights.

    heres some better quality pics taken on a newer camera
