First Time Grower Indoor tent UFO LED

JAPPY · #1 07-03-2009, 02:40 PM

Been researching this site over and over !! Hats off to the MODS and the members for a great running site

I had a few locations planned but never worked out. I have the wifes permission so we are doing a small grow in the basement. Furnace room was made into the veggie room and the tent for flowering. I'm weeks away before I need the tent but I did purchase a 4 x 4 x 6.5 for 89 bucks and could purchase another if needed. The room which the tent will be in is 10 x 4.5 so I could fit 2. Think previous owners use to make wine in this room .. lol

I have been using CFL lights for veggie stage but my UFO LED and tent came in today so I plan on using the UFO for veggie now

with the CFL as well.

I got 2 plants started right off the bat but since then I have had no luck with seeds at all. Tried 30 seeds with paper towel and nothing this time around so I went out I purchased a Jiffypot7 to help my cause. The pics below are 4 days old with nothing sprouting yet but it did look alittle dry so I added more water today when I set up the room up. So I have the 2 plants over top the Jiffypot7 with 52 seeds this time hoping for them to take. The first 30 may have been really old seeds but these 52 should be much newer but one can never tell so I ordered California Dream Feminized from amsterdammarijuanaseeds. They should be in by the middle of the month. They added 20 free seeds so that is a bonus !!

Anyway that is a start !! I just cross my fingers and hope the 2 plants I have are females. I hope to use them to learn how to clone

I got a dome I can use with the Jiffypot7 for cloning !!

Here are some pics. Its a rough start but will be improved daily

Peace

Had to add a heater !! Central Air keeps that room very cool at 65 but with the heater on medium it runs at 80

Have added the tent. Really nice tent and easy to put together. Added the 90W UFO LED as well. Over the next week will add filters and fans. I have been thinking alot ... lol and running 4 in a tent 4 x 4 wouldn't be crazy would it ? lol That would run at 360W as to a 400W HPS. I do like the limited results but I wouldn't know any better either

I have seen many grows with LED and I do like what I see. More does appear to be better

Here are some more pics !!

Peace

Also have not had any of the 52 seeds sprout yet but I'm confident some will take. I looked at a few up close and pop open the shell and there are new roots there. The shell is still hard so I have added water 2 days in a row and the pods are taking it so I hope that helps that issue. Conditions are good with moisture, heat and light. I will try and forget about it for a few days

Done a few things over the week !! Transplanted into bigger pots which was so needed. Fricking roots WOW. Also I think it is time to consider cloning with the Dowsers method. May try that tonight

On another front I still have not had any strouts pop up with the Jiffypopcorn maker .. lol but think the cloning should fair better ... ( I hope )

Anyway here's some pics with the LED now in service for a week !! You tell me what you think

Peace

Cloning underway

I took 3 branches off each plant using the Dowsers method. Fast and easy !! Just have to cross my fingers they take. Noticed the odor when I was cutting off the leafs so I will have to address that issue soon. I`m going on vacation the first 2 weeks of Aug so I wanted to get the cloning out of the way and transplanted before I go. Wife will be staying behind to look after the plants so they are in good hands

Here are some pics !! 3 blueberry (1) 3 Skunk (2)

wow looking great man, you did good for a first timer you got some good space there, your next investment should be some better lights so you could stick more bitches in there cause with that UFO light your limited to only 2

liljheazy · #9 07-13-2009, 12:44 PM

also you couldve let them grow a little taller that tent is pretty big

JAPPY · #10 07-13-2009, 01:08 PM

Yes I got more room for the moment

When I get back from vacation I may consider flowering the 2 plants. Also when I`m on vacation I hope to purchase a 400W HPS for a second tent. My idea one day is to test both HPS and UFO LED. I think I want to get 3 more UFO LED for a total of 4 in the one tent. Flower in both tents and see what results I get. This is months away but maybe use the clones on that project. Worse case the HPS will be there if I`m not happy with the LED

The UFO are great for veggie so they will not be wasted.

Thanks for your reply

Peace
