Greenfutures 400w Closetgrow - The Ultimate

This is my first grow, ever. The plants are about 1 week old from germination. The plan is to grow only one of the plants to full size. Im starting out with 3 of them mainly for practice and to see which one seems the strongest.

I have been watering with tapwater adjusted to about 5.8 PH and with a very small amount of "Canna coco A and B"

The temperature in the closet ranges from about 24-27 degrees celcius.

When I started out the grow I had the light (250w MH) way closer then what I have now. I think that damaged the young ones some. It was 3-4 days ago that I raised the light.

The plant to the right was quite abit ahead at first but then it started yellowing and growth has now slowed.

What might be the problem?





THE GOOD


THE BAD

Hi im a new 1 here, anyways im planning on my 1st grow in my little closet which is like 2.5x3x7ft in dimensions but i wernt r8 sure about it being big enough at 1st but after looking at u pics im a little more confident so thanx n maybe u can give me ur opinian on my set up i do plan on getting 400watt light with a 4inch carbon filter with an extractor n a 4inch intake fan how does it sound so far?

wrighty21: You should probably ask someone with some more knowledge then me. This is, as stated, my first growing experience aswell. But my first thought is that you probably dont need an intake fan. Most people with closetgrows go with passive air intakes. This means that the extractionfan will pull the air into the closet from "passive" intakes, preferibly located in lower part of the growarea.

Everyone: Anyone able to take a guess what might be the cause of my yellowing plant?

Ok well for starters yellowing in fan leaves is often times a sign of (N)Nitrogen deficiency, I didnt notice any yellowing on the leaves in the pictures here, but assuming that everything is in order, I would gradually increase it. Be careful of the tap water, it tends to have metals and other chemicals like chlorine and flouride which can be harmful to plants, my suggestion would be to try using distilled water or purchase an RO. Be wary of your ph by checking your runoff after watering, that is probably your best bet for verifying your ph is correct for optimal nutrient uptake.

The light should never be more than 1ft from the top of your plant in order prevent stretching and helps keep the plant short,(desirable traits for closet grows).

Please keep updates here coming I would be very interested to see how they turn out.

Good luck!!!

Remember not to over-water!

Yo iv got that film on disc lol classic stone head film.
Thanx for replies n ye il keep u updated might be a while yet need to save up for my own equipment to use n set it all up cant wait

Sooo, I recently transplanted the healthiest of the plants to a 41-liter smartpot. Yes, probably a bit overkill, but cant hurt hehe. I only plan on growing this one to full size and im keeping another one just to experiment on with some topping etc.

subbed mate i'll check this grow out, i got a loooong list of threads, so you my have to be a little patient now and then

They look nice and healthy, and yes you could start to bump the feed up slightly, even just a 'smidge'! They don't need it need it, but depends on how hard you want to push them. Feel free to check the beginnings of my threads man, you may find some young clone topping tips

Thanks for your reply flowa! I have checked out your threads on how you topped them while they were young, but your clones look rather different compared to my seedlings. Also I noticed you cut the stem in what seems to be almost in the middle of two leaf-sets. In most other tutorials I have read they tell you to pluck a new set of leaves almost directly when it shows. I might not be very clear in what I mean, but here for example is the kind of topping I am talking about: LBH's 4 way lst tutorial (w topping sub-tutorial)

My plant is almost exactly in the stage shown in that link. The 5th set of leaves are just starting to show and im considering plucking it. But I wanted to ask you first.

What I want in the end is to have a few equally thick main stems so that the plant will cover the whole closet.

Thanks for subbing my friend, I am following your journal daily aswell!
