hey all:mrgreen:

finally got some pics off my phone, these are the plants i scored off a mate ( in exchange for some of the yeild of course:roll:) lol, anyway the 2 pics where there smaller is the first day under the light, the next couple are of today, 5 days to be exact. they've really surprised me and taken off quite well, they look alot healthier now and stand strong.

let me know what you think and how im going, as i go along, all the help is very much appreiciated...the setup is just in a cupboard, roughly 1.1m x 1.8m with a 400w cfl under ^^ shroud, got a lil desk fan blowin away 24/7 in there and water once a day...soil is usually lightly moist. light hours are 18/6 and am thinking of moving to 12/12 in 4 weeks.

anyway more updates to follow as the weeks go on.:peace:

cheers all.

what kind of soil are you using/?
just using normal outside soil for this first time...the ph sits around 6.2, the stuff on top is just fresh (was) grass clippings, mate recons it will be good to lock in a bit on moisture.

i'll be getting some more pics up tonight...i got a problem that need some expert advice:confused: getting the ol droopy brown leaves happening.

:peace: all

try not to water every day, they need to dry out a little for the roots to grow. might help with the sag in your leaves.

the pics look good

Wanna see the difference in root development based on what kind of soil you use? I just took some pic's and posted them. Very interesting.
