42watt cfl stealth filing cab

bagseeds from a good bag
germinated threw the paper towel method.
place in soil about 1/8" deep approx. 5inchs under a 42watt cfl 150watt equalivilent

i put white printing paper on the side of the filing cabnit its a 2 door small one. the top drawer bottom out and i put a light socket on a piece of wood leveld on the drawer itself.

i have another light socket im going to add another 42 watt during flower or late veg but not yet.

donno what type oif soil just top soil.
my girl is 3 days old, the other just poped today n i placed it in soil today
light scedual is usailly when i wake up until i go to bed so usailly 8am-10am starting anhd 12am-1am ending
so roughly 16/8

i have more germing and one that i hope will be poped by tomorrow morning.
i will be using lst on them but only once their about 5 inchs .

i will be getiing a veg nute from walmart im not sure if its a good brand...or if it will kill it i believe it was like 30-10-10 which should be ideal?
then i was going to get a flowing one that is 10-20-15
but its only $6? im not even sure if it was a good brand..but they also hada all-purpose one 20-20-20 what one should i get?? and when should i give the first dose? im gonna start at 20% then 30% then 40% then %50 and no over %60 of the labeled amount.

i have light leaks but used speakers to place infront of my filing cabnit sop u cant reallt c them unless its dark in the room.
im not sure about temps in the cab but it sueems to be around 20-28 C, but i dont have a fan or any venting hole.

im going to add a small fan tomorrow. hopefully i can find one.

because the filing cab is tough steel and i would need like a jigsaw 6to cut it i decided im going to put the fan UNDER the plants under the bottom drawer where theres extra space.
im then going to seal/tape a funnel to the end of a intake fan and put the small end of the funnel on a tube and have that pulling air into the cab threw a tueb at the back to avoid light leaks,noise, and more idealy the cutting of the metal.
maybe do the same for the outtake fan.

how often should i water my seedlings tho? ive been giving them like (2) water bottle cap lids full of water each day to not over water at once but to still keep it moist, shoiuld i giv e it more and wait more days or what ?
any help or tips im a first time grower heres my pics of my light set up, my cab from the outside, my baby (#1) no name for her just yet. shes 3 days old first pic is 2 days second is 3 .

thanks.
peace.

also i now have 3 babys 1 poped and one slowly poping, 5 more in germ. i placed a few drops of water in a ziplock bag shook it a lil, then put the seed/seedlings in the bags and zipped shut. except for the one thats out of soil she is not in the ziplock becuz she was and seemed to be drooping on the 2nd day. she looks healthy today!

SO TODAY IS DAY 5 FOR : *KUSH KONG* [one with leaves]
DAY 2 FOR THE OTHER 2 : *k-9* + *G-FORCE*
[STARTED TODAY] FOR : *JACK FROST*

TODAY IS THE 16TH OF OCT.

HERE ARE PICTURES OF THEM FROM EARLIER TODAY BUT KUSH KONG LOOKS HEALTHIER NOW

BOUT 5 HOURS OLD

also all the names of the weed are madde up! to kush kong may not be kush i just used the strain names but they are all bag seed, some good some bad, i have 4 more in germ but they havent cracked folr 2 days so i may add more i have approx. 22 more from this one strrain i just had all the same strain tho and 1 premo seed left.

also i have another socket but im trying to find a fan...its hard ive searched walmary and stuff and couldnt find just a plug in fan abut 5-6" inchs tall is what im looking for. ande couldnt find none, soi i will put in a nother 26ww cfl when they are 3 inchs but i need to find aa fan first.

heres the pics sorry if u cant see the names i will re-post with brand new pics.

so noiw i have about 3 newly added healthy seeds from the same stack it wasnt the greatest weed it was outdoor, but i think if i grow it properly and cure it for a good amount of time i can make the weed better then it was. the one growing is a really high end type of weed but the new added ones are sjust mids. i placed them in paper towel wet in warm water and fold it and place it on the battery cord of my laptop it gets a lil warm so it hesats it up.

does kush kong look healthy for day 5 in soil?

Bump! Bump! Bump!

i liek pic #1

lol ^ shakiest camera hands ever? Lol cool cabinet box man GL on the grow.

LOL TAKING better pics today sorry ill have them up soon it was more with the flash im not gonna use the flash on my amera its too bright so yea anyways ill post back might also be the 550mg pre work out i have in my blood lol! that should be illegal not chron.

so today is 06 for kush kong (only one with leaves atm)
does she look good?

today is 03 for G-force and k-9
unfortunitly g-force got dug up when i was watering it, so i re-buried it hopefully ill tell tomorrow morning if it effected its growth.

i need more replies! im still waiting to c what plant nutes i should get ? 20-20-20 for veg or a 30-10-10 for veg?

also i have found a extra light socket so i will install it opposite to the other so it doesnt get too hot. i dont have a 42w atm but i have a26watt so i will add that for now and if it needs it later on ill add a 42watt.

question: should i be watering alot or just enough to keep the soil damp?
i give roughly a water bottle cap full 2 times one day then 1 time the next is that ok or should i increase to 2 and 2?

im going to plant our newest member named : da funk, im adding her tomorrow her tap root was showing today but only about 1/8" and i perfer around 1/4" becuz it takes to long for them deep but my method works.

any tips how to keep them even more healthy? i need help im not a complete newbie but kinda am, anything that will help my babies thrive im willing to do. any ideas?

You should make that your avatar.....That would rock !

yeh seedling looking good man but u have to put black tape on these transparent bottles the lights will kill da roots!! and u'll have stunned growth

oh yea deff! im gonna use black electrical tape putting it on today just was more focused on the other 3 to loose there seed shell havent looked at em today but imma go have a bunch of bowls of kush out of johnny blaze(my bong) and check up on em i think pics everyday is a lil too much but im going to put them into a slideshow at the end of the grow to chow em growing step by step thanks for ur reply tho n yea i9 know i have shaky hands, but id much perfer to have the "weed, P***y, and money" picture i had before LOL! almost got banned for it .

so i added eleectrical tape around azll the plants. well seedlings atm. K-9 lost his shell today and they lookgoos so far. i added white printing paper around the black eletrical tape becuz well white deflects n black absorbs right. then i didnt hvae mylar so i added a piece of foil ONLY to the soil to sit on top so the light will reflect and it should keepo the soil moist AND warmer (canada)

so i also added a 26 watt cfl i had its 2700k so its more of a warm orangy spectrum. so i added it but its not hanging properly so ill fix it up ina day or so.

all in all looks good to me so far. since i switched my cloest around my computer on top the filing cab now so i havbe a mini-room and it will make sence for the light leaks (minium)
and the noise once a fan is installed.

so becuz i fliped the filing cab the inside cracks are blocked but the oputside are not so i need to Re-light-proof ittoday ill prob just shoive some garbAGE BAG PEICES IN IT THE DRAWER MAKES IT STAY IN PLACE THO.

SO HERES SOME PICS FROM THIS MORNING OF MY CAB now AND THE BABYS but no upclose shots ill take pics of em all singly in a day or 2.

i gave 3 lid fulls to kush klong todaY THE BIGGEST n she seemed to aborb it nicely.

so i will give 3 watter bottle caps to the ones with out the shell and 1-2 to the others. then increase to using a medicine sryinge {clean} to insert the water.

still looking fro a fan. also added pics of my oudoor straining drying.

it sme=lls like berrys

so just checked my girls they all look good, cept G-force the one with te shell still, i see the root did a loop type thing it looks fine now tho hopefully she'll sprout up soon!

kush kong looks lovly! but k-9 the other one with leafs, the 2 caydaxl leafs or whatever (the round ones) seem to have a purple tint to them my other girl didnt do this so idk i was thinkin cold temps? :S any guess's?

so i lost my camera., but ill find it its around somewhere. so i bought a all purpose nute from walmart it was $7 n its company is called "plant Prod." and its 20-20-20
i was confused at how to mix it tho it said garden 4ml; fert n 1 l of water then housep;lants is 6ml; with 5L? i dont noi which onet to go by i mixed 3ml of fert in with 2 L of water.
not going to start them until the 22nd becuz it is the end of week 1 for kush kong.

also one of my plants streched it looke half the length of a lighter n its 3 days younger then them. the leafs are only like 1/2 the size of my other 2 who are doing good so im confused why it stretched...just bad seed? its jack frost that streched. *kush kong and K-9 are doing great tho! k-9 has a purp tint to the round leafs still and pretty much a small tint on the whole plant! so i think k-9 is the kush seed i threw it! and i no kush kong is a kush seed i had to. but the others just outdoor stuff i got for $400 a qp.

i also lost a member of our family he wasnt growing n the seed was dead when i checked today it was G-force but he was doing bad since the start.

so i toke the extra soil n used it to cover the plants that were a lil short on soil, speciailly the streching one cuz i know if too much stem is in the lgihts veiw its getting big.

Q: WHAT OTHER FACTORS CAUSE STRETCHING?
besides light distence becuz my other 2 didnt strech at all.
could i have over watered?
any other things that cause strewching ? i let my tap water sit uncapped for about 24 hours. so i dont think its the ph.
\
any ideas? n im sorry but ill add photos tomorrow.

.

erm man remove the foil from the soil aluminium foil only reflects heat and it will burn yer leafs.

yupp got rid of it i listed above. only used it for the first 2 days to increase the health of them at the beginning.

how long should i veg for? my cab is only 1.8 square feet 9from the outside) o i dont have a whole lot of room i was thinking maybe veg for oly 2 weeks ? then flower for 10 weeks? wpuld that be enough? or shpould i increase veg and decrease flower? how long do u guys think i should veg for? in ur opinion. cuz i have no expeirence in how long i should only used to outdoor grows. any help appreshiated..


thansk for the reply tho! least i got someone to talk to LOL

HERES THE BABYS KUSH KONG DIED FROM ME EXPEIRIMENTING WITH THE NUTES..SO IM POSITIVE THATS WHAT DID IT.,

srry caps.

so i tryed again with a fresh mixed nute mixture i put 3ml fert into 2-2.5l approx. L of water, and i gave "da locust" 2 tsps of it instead of a normal 3 tsp watering, that was yesterday and today he has (VERY SMALL) shiny stuff starting on the outside of the leafs no brown yet so idk what it could be...any ideas? u cant c it in my cam cuz it sucks!

heres the babys jack frost is still streached. and da locust has its (round leafs) about 1/2-2/3" under the "REAL LEAFS" and the others both even the streched the round leafs are like almost directly under it, but for ! day i noticed when i came back from work it was on its side not more then that day tho so maybe just streched at the wrong time? maybe stativa ? lol idk..anyways besides da locust's burn(i think) they look good...bt idk what i shoulddo about the nutes!! i added 3ml to 2.5L ...i dont have room to hide or keep a Gallon tub....so tips? just try less like 1 or..

Im right at where ur at in your grow ck my cardboard box out

nov 02 1 day until week 4 start of k-9 and sticky fingaz(new name for da locust. 2 days until week 4 start of jack frost, gold bud (new seed planted yesrerday poped spoil today, cyclopse planted today poper late tonight, and newly planted cali orange bud plants today.

nute burn? i used 1ml of fert for 2.5L of 20-20-20 and they got burnt a lil i think...look at pics please..not sure if its nutes? besides that they ;look ok..

looking good man but dont use ANY nutes now at all or they will burn maybe in a couple of weeks u can use veg nutes liek 4-6-6 but 20-20-20 is way to high even for flowering i use 15-30-15 but keep it up u lucky they got a lil burnt
