Get miracle grow moisture controll and also go to the doller tree and get some 3gallon plastic buckets and put 3 or 4 holes on the bottom
for drainage
Hey there everyone I said I would create a Journal so here it goes.
The Specs:
-400w Mh/Hps built in ballast
-12" oscilating fan
-Cheap Walmart Dirt with 1/6 Worm Castings
That is all I can think of for now. I have no nutes yet and also nothing to test PPMS in soil. Anyone have any recommendations for organic nutes for veg and flower? Also I am building my own box to grow in I'm going to go 4x4x6 Im looking for some input here as well on how much Ill need to vent and if anyone thinks maybe 2 inline fans would air it out enough.
Currently they are in my basement with a stable temp at 78F and 60%+ RH which i know is high and I am trying to bring down below 60% RH currently I am using a dehumidifier and some damprid!
I am just really wondering what people think I should use for nutes and maybe some nice PPm meters that may work with soil. Maybe even some fans/ventilation help as well. Maybe some cheap online places to get some fans/ventilation.
Here are pics of hopefully my girls:20120621_024633.jpg20120621_024716.jpg The two on the right are 6 days and they one on the left is one week.
20120621_024721.jpg this one is the week old.
Tell me what you guys think. Do these look like they should for week one?
Quick Update Switched the pots I was using with some new Ones have them in some new soil. The tranplant took a day or so to recover from but they seem to be going good now. Here are some pics I just took:20120627_172600.jpg20120627_172611.jpg20120627_172620.jpg20120627_172626.jpg
The first single plant picture is actually a few days older than the other two. The other two are surpassing this one. The first one has been threw hell and back it seems it had some heat damage I actually had to cut four leaves of the first set of razor leaves (fighting to remember the scientific name) from the last picture and the first single plant picture. I did not know if I had watered the leaves and they fried or what but I cut them anyways and they new growth on each plant looks good so far.
Any suggestions would help please only constructive replies. This is my first actual grow and things are still in the making. I am in the process of making a 4x4x7 box and still need some ducting and some fans. Maybe even a portable a/c to control the environment a bit better than I am now. Currently they are just out in the open. Which sucks for privacy and such. I am also Looking into making some super soil any suggestions here would be welcome as well.
Hey Everyone. Just decided to post another update. Today is week 3 for all of them. I am having some issues with some of them I have pictures Below. I am also in the middle of a project I have a room built 5x5x7 Well the frame anyways I also have some pictures also. If anyone could give me any help with my plant problems that would eb awesome maybe some organic ways to fix them. I just purchased a ph tester kit and noticed my ph was 8.0+ which i know is too high. My question is will general hydroponics ph up and ph down mess with the good microbes in my soil? I know it is know super soil but I do not want to destroy the little bit of life I have. I really want to know if people think I should just get some hydroponics chems and just do that or maybe some organic top dressings or teas I can do.
Here are the pictures from today:20120705_212354.jpg
20120705_212312.jpghere is a shot of my temps they are very high and am in the process of bringing them down just waiting for the cash for a portable a/c and some more for my new box.
20120705_212301.jpgthis one here is actually the oldest. This plant popped a day before they other two and seems to be the worst off definately does not like my conditions. I am wondering if this maybe deficient maybe phosphorous?
20120705_212250.jpg this one is also doing OK I guess some yellow spotting on the leaves. this one is actually in a mix with some cheap walmart dirt, Perlite, Vermiculate, and some EWC just on the top.
20120705_212240.jpgThis one is my Favorite becuase it does not seem like it has anything wrong with it except some little brown patches and I tried to snap those down below can barely see it though.

Any tips, suggestions, comments, feel free to shoot my way. This is my first time. I really want to keep it all organics but if i have to go with chemical fertilizers I am sure Ill be fine.
Hi again everyone does not seem like a whole lot of people are interestead but i am still going to post some pics.
Here are my girls:

The one in the middle is the only one in flower and I believe it is 3 weeks from signs of preflower. They are looking good so far the one on the left is the mother plant of the 4 on the right. There are also 2 blue mystic seeds both sprouted. I am having an issue with the one that is flowering. Here are a few pictures of my issues:

The issue has not seemed to spread above the 2nd node. But I would like to see if i can prevent this from going up further. I was thinking a phosphorus deficiency but I have no idea. This is my first time ever flowering so any help would be nice. My PH is steady at about 6.5 going into the soil is exactly the same coming out. I am using some shitty chemical ferts called might bloom so far I have only used about a gallon of mixed nutrient solution thus why I think it may be a phosphorus deficiency. Here are the buds on the flowering plant by the way the genetics I believe are from mexicoI hope it is not as shitty as the brick it came from LOL.

You may notice some clawing on some of the earlier growth I am pretty sure I messed up the PH for a second there.
