Hi to all! this is my first journal, decided to make after about 8 failed attempts and trying to grow...learned from mistakes each time!

im now about 3 weeks in but heres a pic from 2 weeks ago!

all is going well up to now, the set up is 400 watt light in a soil half compost, half soil from outside with some blood meal mixed in. watered about every 3 days and havnt used any ferts yet!

heres a pic for the present

its still going strong, though a couple of leaves are starting to yellow slightly at the bottom....possibly a lack of N? i shall try lightly fertlizing and seeing what happens. anyone know how long it takes before any results show?

i should probably mention that its a seed from a mixed bag, thinking about starting a strawberry cough plant as well and letting them grow to a good size before the flowering period, will the 3 week difference matter much (ill add 3 weeks grow to strawberry cough to compensate).

the set up is in a wardrobe thats well aired with a couple of pots of water to add humidty as well.

Looks good so far man.
You have a nice compact plant growing there.

A couple of questions to your questions then.
Why the clear cup? Do you want to see the roots so you know when to transplant? Don't let the light get to your roots for very long.

Is there 2 compartments to the wardrobe? I ask because of starting the others. If you have 2 then veg and bloom seperate if you choose to.

I'd do more than 1 just incase its a ........................male.

I just went through that, bummer, all that time spent. Anyway.

As for the yellowing leaves it may be nitrogen. A little nutes now would not hurt. I don't know when you should see results exactly, but not more than a couple days.

Okay now the basics, size of room(s), kind of light (400w what?), 24hrs or 18/6, ph, etc.. Pics of those help too.

The more info to start your journal the better, all around.

The male. Dissapointing at best. If it were in a hole outside no big deal, but the 24hrs of light in a grow box vegging for 6 weeks and.......notta.

plant looks good but incognitos right we yearn for more info

thank you for replying! ah sadly no my wardrobe is one compartment, ive bought feminized seeds but i guess its never a sure thing.

i used the clear pots just to get a just for when the earth is becoming dry..alas i didnt think about the roots getting damaged. i shall get some sort of covering for them...possibly a black bag cut up and taped to the pots side. the lights only on for 16 hours a day on a timer.

its a 400 watt sodium light, makes a lot of heat but the wardrobe has a bit i can lift at the top to let heat out, i shall get a picture put up to let you see. its pretty much a width 77cm, 50cm depth and hieght 181cm

i have no idea of the soils ph tho :/

apoligies for the horrific camera phone pictures

also, thats the first plant on the left, the strawberry cough in the middle and another plant from the mixed packet on the right
