Ok people i am starting this journal for all those out there that want to see a grow with a bunch of bagseed and some hempy buckets.
I will be using GH micro and bloom for this grow and doing some lst. so here they are, at the moment i am just gonna be vegging until preflowers show so that i can choose a female to take clones from and go from there. My ultimate goal is to try to do a perpetual grow. We will see what happens.
Plant A:
closeup.jpgthis one here has an issue of which i believe is due to low humidity, i really dont car to much about this plant i think it will be a male.

On plant D and F the leafs looks like they got some kind of issue of which i believe might be a mg def, so i made a solution of 1tsp epsom salts to the gallon and foliar sprayed them.
Here are a couple pics of my ghetto grow closet.
DSCF1005.jpgthis will be the veg area after things really get going i will like to keep a mother in this space and clones.
DSCF1001.jpgthis is the grow box, the area on top of the box with the black trash bag curtain is where the veg area is, for now i am using the top and inside the box to veg.
DSCF1003.jpgThis is a top shot of inside the grow box it is 2x2x4(LxWxH) the light fixture has the pc fan on there to pull the heat from the bulbs up and there is another pc fan up in the top right corner of the box. There are 2 passive intakes on the bottom left hand side.
Stay Tuned!

Enjoy. Comments welcome. Just keep in mind i will be keeping this grow simple with this things that i already have. These plants were germinated in a paper towel and placed in rockwool cubes when the taproot was about an inch long. I dont remember the exact date that i started them, i think it was on the 29th of January. I will pay more attention to the time when i switch to flowering.

Yea the big one is probably suffering from heat stress or low humidity or both, you could try just misting it 2 or 3 times a day for a few days, see if that helps and if it does keep it up. No way to tell if its a male at that stage, but with the stress it's goin through it'll probably turn out that way. What kinda lights are u using and what kind of soil is that?

nvm i just saw the pic with the lights

whatup man, i have been misting but the problem still persists, i was advised to get a humidifier but i don't really feel like it cause i think the plant is a male and i have like 5 other plants to worry about that are looking much better than this one. It is a mix of 3:! perlite vermiculite mix. Temps in the box is mid to upper 80's which is fine. Just to note i have done 2 grows already and each time it has been getting better and better i am using 6 cfls and will add a couple more when flowering time comes around. 6500kx4, 2700kx2 right now. In the veg area is a 2 bulb t5 fixture and 2 cfls.

Well, while getting the readings and ph correct this morning while watering the plants, i accidently dropped the ph meter into the cup i was mixing in and it fucked up my meter. RIPIMG-20120206-00243.jpg. I took the battreries out blew it out and left it to dry while i went to work. Came back home and it just keeps counting numbers and stopping.IMG-20120206-00245.jpg Oh well, i ordered a new one this afternoon should be here early next week.http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Meter-Tester-Hydroponic-Aquarium/dp/B004IYDEES/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1328557654&sr=8-5

Watered the plants today with Epsom salt @ 1tsp gallon, surprisingly my ph meter seems to be working again i let it dry out for a day and put the batteries back in and calibrated it and it seems to be working again.
ph:5.7
ppm:613
They are looking pretty good, Seems like on the last feeding slightly nute burned plant A,E. They are recovering nicely though.
I am thinking to update with pics once a week so that the growth will be substantial enough to look at.
