Default First Grow! Three Plants. My Journal.
hey guys. since this is my first grow I've decided to make a little journal so I can have something to look back on and so I can learn as much as possible from you guys since I am new to the growing world.

I am a photographer so I will update the thread with some nicer and more detailed pictures within the next 2 or 3 days. For now there will just be cell phone pics.

I am currently growing three plants, one of which is sour diesel, the smallest one, and the other two are an unknown strain. I got the seeds from an ounce I bought from a friend. all are being grown outdoors and will be for as long as I can help it.

anyway here's a few photos of them so far. the biggest is probably a little over 3 weeks along the sour diesel, the smallest, probably sprouted about a week ago, and the second largest is maybe 3 weeks along as well but isn't growing as quickly.

group pic. sour diesel is the smallest one in the front of the three if you can tell. and the other unknown strain is in the back to the left.



close up of biggest one. unknown strain.


another look.


and my new seedling that seems to be sprouting? not sure. it's green in real life, camera is just shitty.



I'm going to start feeding them nutes after I separate them into their own pots. still haven't decided on which nute to go with though.

update: I just took a closer look and forgot I threw one more seed into the pot and it looks as if its starting to sprout. so make that 4 plants. I am going to separate all of these into separate pots within the next 2 days before the root system gets too deep on the smaller ones.

any help on the two strains I can't identify would be cool. and any additional comments or things I need to do would help too.

thanks!

before I update I just wanted to say please feel free to leave comments/criticism/advice/ or whatever else you feel like leaving on my journal.

update time. well, unfortunately, that little tiny sour diesel plant that seemed to be stretching for light didn't make it. I was too rough on her and i snapped her stem, then I attempted to make her a little support system as I did for my other plant and I accidentally pulled her and detached her from her roots so I said forget it and just let her go. she wasn't growing anyway so fuck it, lol.

so now I'm down to two plants, both unknown strains and both seem to be doing well. I'm going to the store today to pick up a new pot and some fox farm nutrients for her as well. so we will see how that goes.

pictures anyone?







the smaller one.




I may update later on with the nutrients and other supplies that I've purchased. I may be getting some new seeds from some friends today as well so we'll see how that goes.

leave comments guys, I'm gonna need help with this grow so I'd like some people to follow along!

thanks man, I hope so too.

oh and another thing, I've decided to bring them indoors for the most part and switch them to a 24/0 cycle while they're in veg.

yeah your right. I've decided to go to a 18/6 cycle as I don't think my plants can handle the shock of going from a normal outdoor cycle to a full on 24/0. 18/6 is the way I'm going from here on out.

I buried them about a half inch deep into the soil.

they were growing outdoors in the beginning, then I bought them in because I started to get a little worried. I'd say they are both somewhere around 3 weeks from sprout?

my friend just gave me another young baby plant yesterday so I will post pics of her when I get the chance.

I transplanted each plant into it's own pot yesterday, they seem to be doing well with the transplant itself. I also got 4 ak47 seeds from a friend yesterday so I will plant those when the time comes. they're germinating right now.

I'm currently trying to fight off what looks like it may be some over watering/heat stress. when I came into my ghetto ass indoor setup my lamp had tipped over a bit and burnt the edges of two of my leaves. not very noticeable at all, and very small sections of the leaves, but it happened. oh well.

I'll update with pictures later on today and see what you guys think. thanks for dropping by guys.

my biggest plant is still struggling after a few days. I'm not sure if I will keep him around at this point as I got some ak47 seeds that I want to get planted and I still have two other plants that seem to be going strong and are producing leaves much more dense than my tall plant was.

Here's a my biggest plant. Drooping leaves, pale, and whatever else. idk. e
ven the new growth is drooping




My 2nd youngest. Seems to be doing well. Is she too small for nute feedings?





My youngest. I have high hopes for her, lol.






I'll update again in a few days hopefully with my ak47 seedlings sprouted and my other 2 babies transplanted into some other soil and not this MG shit that I have been using unknowingly. =/
