1st Grow: PCC: Quasar & Grapefruit Krush 12-12 from Seed

Hi guys, my first grow here. I have a small box, and saw the party cup comp, and had been wanting to try 12-12, so i decided to give it all a go at once. I'm putting on here just to share and i'm sure i will have a few questions along the way. good advice is always bomb too, just keep the arguing over small stuff down, remember we all have our ways!

my box is approximately 24"l X 24"h X 18"d. got a different array of cfls to put in, but was getting too hot so i cut down on some lights. i got 2 6500's and 4 2700's all in the 20 watt range i think. im sure my box can take a couple more, so im gonna increase lights one at a time and keep check on the heat.

soil is some kinda pre mix for starting i had from wally world, i mixed sum peat in with it. i got mg tomatoe food for veg nutes and mg bloom for flower.(i know alot of u r anti-mg, lets just skip those posts cuz i'm working with what i got....we've all been there).

the plants were on 20-4 for about a week when i flipped 12-12. 16oz party cups for the competition. so far, ive been feeding about half strength on the nutes and they seem to be liking it. just starting out so not sure on the feeding/watering frequency. i fed when i flipped, then 2 days later cups were dry so i fed again. sound bout right on that or mayb feed 1 then water 1?

thinking bout lst just to be on the safe side for my hieght req's. is it too soon to start or go ahead with it?

well thats all now cept for a couple pics. hope u guys check in and let me know how im going!! plants are 2 weeks plus a couple days. u can kinda c the writing on the grapefruit, the other one is the quasar obviously, lol, the topside pic is quasar on left, gk on right.

Off to a good start mate, im not a soil grower but i would think your gonna be watering often in party cups so just keep it moist and dont let the soil dry out and you should be good. You can start your LST now mate those grapefruits can get fairly tall even on a 12/12 grow from other 12/12 grows ive seen but they were under HPS so go ahead and tie em down if you want. Got myself a few grapefruits on a 12/12 from seed grow as well, its a good strain by all accounts.

thanks for stoppin in and thanks for the tip. that quasar is shootin up real strong, so i will prolly tie both down 2maro. what about topping or fimming on 12-12?

first week of 12-12, feeding every 2 days with bout half strength on the tom food. quasar is really shooting ahead of grapefruit krush.

all looking green and healthy there mate............

as you grow more and more you will get in the swing of things, soon be second nature to you........

week 2 at 12-12. let me know what ya think........

they look good mate, i normally get yellowing on top if im a bit close to hps but shouldnt be the case with cfl..............mine look worse....reckon you are all good there mate

well, dont know what happened but the gk crashed and burned, and quasar started a decline, so i repotted and moved outside in an attempt to save it

sometimes they just do............we all taking casualties.......

Any report on the quasar and GK?
