2nd Grow AG Deluxe - Shake and Bake Baby!

My first grow ended in utter failure. One of the females died and caused root rot which in turn caused some kind of fungus which killed the girls off. Chopped her down this morning with just enough bud to fill 2 bowls :(

Lessons learned: don't mix different strains in the same grow. They grow at different rates (duh). Don't over top. Once, maybe twice, but probably only once. No more than 3 plants (I already knew this, but had to push my luck anyway). etc etc

Ah well, learned alot. Here I am starting on my second grow. Everything's good and cleaned out. Got myself some kind of tight white nug bud from bag seed. Whole OZ only had about 20 seeds altogether. Went through each one and picked out the biggest egg shapped ones that I could find. When you separated the seeds there was a noticeable size difference between the ones I selected and remaining ones. From everything I've read in various places I'm pretty sure I've got selecting females seeds down to a science, all 4 of my last ones were female.

Ok, now to my grow space. I will post pictures soon, probably tomorrow after I've made it presentable after the horrible slaughter that had to take place :(

The space is a book case that I've converted into a closet that is about 3 foot high. I'm using only CFL's because they are cheap and I am the cheapest guy in the world (Hey everyone needs to know they're limitations - I'm OCD about spending money unnecessarily, thus the reason for growing my own, hehe)

Hold crap, this is hilarious... kiss-ass

Anyway peeps, welcome to my grow!

Wait for it, wait for it... :spew:

Literally like 2 bowls :(

Tasted like crap too. I guess that's good. If it had tasted awesome, I would have just wanted more.

Looking good. One of them died so I'm down to 2. Fine by me,should be plenty of room to grow now.

Hopefully this turns out better.

As Promised, new pix. I'm down to 2 good ones. It looks like the growth is about a day apart. I just started the extra light regiment for this batch today, the 2 extra lights have had no chance to have any effect yet. It'll be interesting to see what the effect the extra direct light will have.

Better quality pix tonight. New camera.

Nice dude, looking good so far. I'm just starting my grow in my AG deluxe too. We'll have to compare notes. I'll post a link to my grow journal once I figure out how (and once I actually start a grow journal, hehe).

I'll get some new pics up tonight guys, sorry for the delay. It's kind of like watching paint dry though if you do the images too soon.

Unfortunately I've convinced myself that one of the plants was a male so I've gone ahead and pulled the trigger. :evil:

I rearranged the plants today to put my remaining female in the middle and readjusted all the lights.

At this point I am at day 11 of budding.

Yes I know it seems like I'm starting too soon, but I think that that's the main problem with the AG is waiting too long. I spent $200 on this thing I don't want to break the hood off so I want it right below 24" tall when done. If we know it's going to triple or quadruple in size during this phase then why not start when they are really small. The results I'm getting seem to back up my theory here.

Also at this point only using stone AG nutes. Changing water once a week to ward off root rot. I may switch to miracle grow for the next week, don't know yet. Maybe.
