hey everyone i thought id start my own journal and tell u all whats happend so far..i got 1 of my seeds off a mate not sure what it is yet looks funny so far and the rest i got from some really really stinking green nice and sticky no idea what strain but both look indi i think. i went for a soil grow and i started it in bottles because i was goin to go for the no drainage system but i changed my mind. i started my plants under a full sun spectrum fluro what i bought from the pet shop it says it stimulates plant growth but its like a 20w bulb.. i also got a 400w maxibright envirolight with reflector to help so i've had both lights on 18/6 seemed to be workin fine untill 2 of my plants picked up sunburn i didnt even know what it was!! so i read alot of stuff and finally found out. they seem to be going back to the dark green they started at so im happy at the moment as you can see i started my plants in bottles because i was goin for the no drainage but then my soil stayed really wet so i cut the bottom off the bottles and planted them lol sounds bad i know but they really looked nice and green only problem is now when they get bigger i gota cut the bottoms off of the plant pots to and do it again but neva mind i got a few more seeds left. i'll put up some more pics later as these were in the first 3 weeks and im in the 4th or 5th now so they are alot bigger. tell me what you think!!

cheerz monkey i will do that later 4 sure... here's an update!!.. i had to lower my plants because they got sunburn so i moved my big fan to keep it cooler inside its helping alot because there is also a water heater inside the same closet what keep the temp and humid high. so im glad i had 2 fans... oh yea you can see i had to give the old girl the snip on a leaf because i dropped my light chain and it cut into 2 leafs so i cut em off to fight infection.. i know im a nub but hey i think its male anyway i have 11 plants in total really good strong smell they smell really earthy already its good but only 3 have the real strong weed smell not bad for first week into the second month

im a nub i got pics i forgot to post been smokin to much again ok the pic shows you my setup looks kinda shabby but hey i used paint so its good enough but bad camera lol n oh and the leaf that i cut with the chain is on there 2

Nice one UK, looking really green and healthy there, and looks like a good set-up you've got going. Glad your sunburn is sorting itself out. Couldn't you just re-pot the whole thing into bigger (deeper) pot, lightly fill in around the bottle with soil, remove the bottle by cutting down one side and carefully pulling it away and finally fill in with more soil to firm it up? If you give the whole lot a good soak with water (both the soil in the pot and especially the top part in the botte), then leave it for a couple of hours before you start, the soil should stay together for you when you take the bottle away. Even if it didn't so long as you've at least lightly filled in around it before you cut, the soil mass isn't really going to go anywhere. Just a thought, please tell me if I'm talking crap LOL.

I wish you all the best for the grow - you seem to be doing an excellent job. Keep up the good work and you're in for a treat Look forward to seeing your next pics.

oh yea in the first pic you can clearly see the sunburn i gave her in my 24/7 veg period so gone back to 18/6 trial and error!!

Love those new pics, the plants are getting really bushy already - your lights are obviously doing a great job
