Unhappy First time closet grow.........12 plants
Hey every one, hopefully through my experiment grow it will help you guys as well as me. i have done so much research on this site just wanted to give back to everyone and hopefully if i run into any problems I can turn to you as well.



here's the list........

2 400 watt MH
2 600 HPS
1 9000 BTW portable AC
2 fans.
canna cocco grow medium
canna rhizotonic
canna cocco A + B nutes



ROOM set up....
My closet is about 12ft X 10ft X 9 ft
i lined the walls with aluminum foil (later found out it's only a pain the ass to deal with white paint would have been better)

my closet has the attic cut out access. so i cut a piece of ply-wood and mounted a vent for the ac unit to blow out all the hot air......leaving room for another vent for a carbon filter l(if it really gets stinky)

by the way i live with 3 other MMJ patients so we aren't really worried about the smell since every thing is legal. hehe. love california.




i originally started with 50 seeds......25 american kush, and 25 oregon grape.......let me just say they failed.....


so i went a bought some clones, i bought a few different ones, so i don't even remember what they are...shouldnt have smoked!


anyways i started the clones 1 week no nutes, plain water. (hydro has got to be easier) watering by hand every other day while they were in the red cups is a pain in the rear.

once i saw that there was a good amount of new growth on every plant, i transplanted them into 3-4 gallon pots (which they are in now)

light cycle is 18-6......making sure light are off at the hottest part of the day since our house has no AC. the room with the AC unit stays a comfy 70-80 degs depending how hot it is.

i have been givem them nutes almost every feeding starting off slow at first but slowing upping them by the week.

Rhizotonic strted with 5 ml per gallon then up to 7ml, 10ml, 15ml, 20ml, after week 5 and thats where it stays....

the cocco A + B nutes, i started around week 3 using only 3 ml to start working my way up to 15ml of each.

Right now they get watered every other day with the exception of every 2 waterings i skip 2 days ( water monday, wednesday, friday, then not till monday) i found that it keeps me from overwatering and underwatering. i found a nice bottle that measures how much water each plant gets so i know where everyone is getting. useualy around 20-24 oz of water. depending the level of happiness i see in each plant......and let me tell you they let you know when they are sad.

I also use plain water in a seperate container since i do not wnt to spray nutes on the leaves.......but the days that i do not water....right before the lights go out, i spray all the plants down so it looked like it rained, usually not more then like 2 oz of spray.


i believe the first 2 pictures are the earliest ones that i have looks about a week after the cones were put in the room. the next 2 are 10 days older.......9-3-09/9-15-09

i'll get new pictures up later today as soon as the lights come on

Default updated pictures and the flower stge has begun.......
ah finally.....one of the last stages of grow. man how i love those HPS lights. these pictures are posted in order from date, earliest to current.


this morning i turned the light cycle over to 12/12 (8pm-8am). i'm giving them 36 hours of dark before they come on so sunday night at 8pm, i get to see them again.

does anyone know of a light that you can use to be in the room while it's dark?......there has to be one

anyways i also bought more nutes........

cannazyme (which i found out i should have been using the entire time)
cannaboost
pk 13/14

i watered the plants (36 oz of water) just as the lights went out with all nutes.....cut down a bit.

10ml A +B solution
5 ml rhizotonic
5 ml cannazyme

and once the lights come on i'm going to mist them with the canna boost 2.5 ml per quart.

Looks to me like your plants need nitrogen. there yellowing all over. you might get some small leafy undense buds if you dont take care of it.
