From CFL's to the Outdoors (porch) First Grow!

**DB&ST** · 12-10-2010, 02:14 PM

Our first grow started at a little CFL grow box with 3 little bagseeds.
First Grow, CFL Box (Day 2)
After 11 days, 2 survived and were "forced" to move out to the porch because the growbox was not an option inside the house any more.

Today we came back from amsterdam after leaving the two girls (hopefully) in they’re new 6.5 Liter pots at the porch after 5 days and they’re looking pretty good!

they both grew much thicker stems outdoor and grew much taller.

other then that they are looking good at Day 18.

is it ok for the stems to get so thick while the base of the stem is thin?

Any comments, Tips or just a good word are welcomed!:peace:

yes it's OK, looking good. if I left plants outside now they'd be frozen.

Next time you grow indoors, try a small fan to strengthen the stem. I put a fan way back so they are barely wavering when tiny. Also, if you're home during the day and can turn them occasionally toward the sun, that also will help them grow strong and straight. Good luck with them!

actually im not at home most of the light hours.. but i think they're getting a lot of light and they grow straight for all i can tell..
i was wondering when is a good time to top the big one? and when to start with nutes?..

Day 19
Had a little storm.. the plants still look good and growing, the crazy winds are making them stronger i hope.. because the winds are pretty crazy..

Tomorrow i think im going to top Clara, hope she will be ok.

The spots on the leafs are actually rain water drops that had dust that was in the sky.. so they are just a little dirty

i've read it but didn't understand it fully.. i've watched some vids on youtube and learned how to top from one of them..
Clara is already topped.. (did it two days ago..)
