melushell · #1 11-04-2007, 04:02 AM

Hey everyone
total newb here, far away from Spain !!!
i decided to post as I couldn't find lots of grow info/pics regarding this strain

setup:
1 x 1 x 1.8 meters box
(made by me with only one hand as the other one is in a cast after a skydiving accident)
1 x 400w hps (sylvania grolux)
1 x oscilating fan outside the box
1 x tubular extractors 190m3/h
1 x thermostate
1 x hair dryer for heat control

I have germinated 7 Cali Orange from Nirvana, all 7 up & going

,
thanks to How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds for really good germination tips

I attached the photo with the plants today at 11 days after started germination

untill now my only probs are pretty high temps and low humidity due to high ventilation

I can say I AM REALLY HAPPY UNTILL NOW

ANY ADVICE IS WARMLY WELCOMED

today is day 19

there is one thing that draws my attention

some of the leaves started a scattered light green a few days ago, it looks like is spreading out and turning into yellow

current sit:

temp is pretty contant around 80-85 F
humidity is pretty low average 20%
i water them ever 2-3rd day. water has half strength veg. nutes
20h of light

i really hope somebody has some feedback, thanks in advance

I'm no expert but it may be a little nute burn.

melushell · #9 11-09-2007, 06:52 AM

.....i dunno man, had the light green before I started to feed the nutes, started a bit to amplify from 2 days
thanks a lot for your input tough

melushell · #10 11-11-2007, 03:16 AM

today is day 21

last water i gave without nutes, i was thinking may be to alternate(one water with nutes one without)

they still look gorgeus, i am really happy, i passed them to 21-3 light cycle, i am really tempted to go 24
(i would like to harvest end january and i want them minimum 20'' before starting flowering)
