8-23 germinated 10 seeds got 4
8-26 planted into dixie cups (also put a few remaining seeds into one cup just for shits and giggles)
8-29 nothing from the random seed cup so i removed it from the box.
9-4 cup showed two small stems watered and put back in box and bam new life.

9-5 moved everything into the new cabinet and still need to modify it a little bit.
The bar holding my lights fell and burnt one of the plants so hopefully it will make a come back.

The lights have been on 24/7 since about 8 hours after the seeds went into the cup.


My tap water here at the house is perfect ph right around 6.5-7.5
lights i have 4 23watt 6500 daylight cfls, and 2 23 watt 3500 cfls... will be getting more lights here soon but i dont think i really need more at the momment. maybe yall can tell me other wise.

the cups have been drying out just about every other day and have been rewatering them but not over wattering. still no nutes

when do you think i should transplant these guys and when should i start nutes.

i accidently got the wrong stuff (foxfarm hydroponic grow big) instead of the regular soil growbig nutes so i need to go and get some more.

im hoping out of these plants i get at least 2 females. but who knows.

here are some pix from my first box to the new cabinet. which is 48x48x16

okay well first of all mostly sativa hybrids don't need as much nutrients as indica, so go lightly with the nutes. you don't need them till you see the first signs of nitrogen deficiency in the leaves. (yellowing leaves.) then feeding every week and a half to 2 weeks is good.

use 40W CFL... not 23W....

Really need some advise on why the bottom leaves are turning yellow and the upper leaves are starting to curl up.....

Ok you must use a basic 20-20-20 fertilizer at half the suggested measurements. (You have a Nitrogen deficiency.)

need to get some new pix up but at day 21 i switched the plants to 18,6 light cycle. I just ordered a 400 hps+mh light kit and am cleaning out a closet to put them in. they are now in a corner of a room using the white paint to help reflect the light.

The room is now starting to smell sweet and skunky. 2 days after switching them to 18/6 the plants stretched out about 5 inches each.
