GHS - BIG BANG grow journal

grow4joe · #1 11-08-2009, 06:15 PM

Hello fellow growers, im Grow4Joe and this is my second grow and my first journal so please bear with me......

A quick rundown on my equipment etc....

3 x GHS Big Bang Fem seeds
1 x Grow tent 1x1x2m
1 x Powerplant 400w HPS
1 x 400w star ballast
1 x Carbon filter
1 x Extractor Fan
2 x 7inch desk fans
3 x 20 litre pots
BioBizz Light mix soil
BioBizz Grow, Bloom and alga-mic
Lots of TLC......

So thats the setup, pics of this tomorrow, just deleted em' a few hours ago....

I wasn't going to start a grow journal until i was on my 3rd grow, but i figured why not have a crack at it now.
Ive posted my 1st grow on the 400watt club and the start of this grow is on there aswell so i thought i best get this going...

I germinated four seeds and placed them in soil in some small 4'' pots inside my grow tent. I left the light on the usual routine of 18hours and three days later...hay presto three of the four have popped up!

There are other seeds i have planted today but im focusing mainly on Big Bang for this thread.
anyway back to the grow..
so now its day 7 since they went into the soil and day 4 since they sprouted and ive staked dem up so they get in the right line of fire...

They look a little bit on the stretchy side so ive moved the light closer and ive a fan blowing in between my babies and the mighty 400watt!

The leaves are getting bigger faster than the stems are stretching, so i think thats done the job...if that makes sense

I'm a lil worried because ive heard alot of bad tings about green house seeds and that they dont germ and if they do then they most probly die a few days later so i'll just av to see how she blows...

First pic is the next day after sprouting..day 2...

(if the pic is named day 6 this is because ive been following them since i put them in the soil and not since they popped up, same goes for 2 and 3...

)

pics 2 and 3 - Day 3...

you'll have to excuse me if this is abit messy, its 1am here and im pretty tired..dont ask me why i decided to do this now.....i dont even know..

Any advice or comments etc welcome...+rep....

Thats all for now, gunna hit a

and den

....

Quick update..i done an update last night but my pc crashed before i could post it! damn pc!

Anyway..day 8 today and they looking good, humidity is 50% - 60%, temps are roughly 25c - 30c and ive just given them their first feed...

Repotted yesterday into 20 litre pots so they are good to go now until harvest time...

One of the leaves is bending rather weird but it still seems ok, im not sure if this is because i got the fan blowing near it or what but im keeping my eye on it..
Quick question....if anyone wants to reply that is....
My nutes say to feed 2ml/1L...is this each plant? im using 20 litre pots...thanks...

2ml/1l means if you decide to pour 3 litres of water to use to water ur plants with, add 6 ml of ur nutes. Then water with that, as needed...

Your grow is looking great so far I might add. Ive got some GHS on the way also, I cant wait...

Anybody know why there is strange little worm like things, very small, probly bout 1mm, in my water? They wriggle about and curl up. Just got a litre out me rainwater resevour, which is fresh as theres loads of rain and there is loads..absolutly loads of em!! i didnt notice anything when i fed them earlier and i cant give em any of this for obvious reasons...

How do i kill them?
If add some nutes to the water ready for next feeding would that kill em??
Please help!

but not im my garden at tha mo.....

....ok so i just checked my water jugs and all the worms have sunk to the bottom...some have rolled together into a ball but they are all alive..

For some reason i cant post pics. The 'Manage Attachments' link has done a runner amd it wont even let me copy and paste my pics straight into the post! Also cant click on the smillies no more..they be there but i just cant click em'So anyway, day 11, looking good, fed some more biogrow earlier, they seem to love it! The strange bending leaf has sorted itself out now and apart from looking a bit fat from the low humidity, all three look really healthy!

The only problem ive had is keeping my humidity up which is low but just in the safe zone....for now.....so thats it...if anyone knows why im having this attachment problem etc.. please fill me in cause otherwise i cant show you guys my ladies...peace

Edit: Looks like i can upload again...for now...

Pics are of earlier today, Day 11.

Anyone no how i can get my humidity up?
For some reason, when my light is on, i cant get the humidity up past 30%-40%,
at night its no problem..
ive got a bowl of water in there and i lightly sprayed some water in the air aswell now n then but its just drops again and again, it dont drop any lower than 30% though so it could be worse...

Day 12 and they still looking healthy, nice and green and the stems are really starting to fatten up..
havent fed today cause they dint need any, the soil is still moist in the middle, but i have been misting them with plain filtered rain water.

Still my humidity is causing me problems, im going to buy a humidifier as soon as i can get the money for the cheapest one but untill then, if anyone has any ideas, they would be much appreciated, ive got a few wet socks in there

and a plate of water, figured the water would evaporate quicker if it was shallow not deep....

Oh and i forgot to mention the strange infestation is still there but im filtering my rain water through whatever i can until i can get some proper filter paper...it seems to be doing the trick.

Cant believe ive only had one comment...
Nobody interested in the Big Bang?....
Maybe my next grow there will be more...gonna be growing either purple wreck or blackberry...

Day 14 and still looking good, they seem to be loving the nutes, and the fan has really beefed up their stems. Gonna give em some plain water 2moro just to get rid of any salt build up, instuctions say to feed every time you water but i dont think thats a good idea...

Humidity is getting better but still needs work..
Got my fan sucking air straight from outside into the grow tent..gotta pair of the missus's tights over the end of the ducting to stop unwanted pests ect, thats dropped the temp a few degrees
