ImissATARI's first grow ALL CFL

Yes junk stores and thrift shops are lovely for stoners who need everything to make a grow got all my stuff for about 10 bucks

The reasons you've already listed are probably most of the reason for the apparent minty green color and droopiness. If they are still growing though, I'm sure they will make it and do well after the soil upgrade.

day 17 update: post transplant

"lil girl" took it alright, just minor yellowing on the lower leaves, but nothing to worry about.

"big girl" took it just fine, and since I put a fan on both plants all day yesterday, has spread out her leaves and lookin real healthy

Soon I will be getting at least one more light (4-26w 6500), perilite, additional potting soil, and a fan. From there I will also take down my cheap light hood (posterboard with mylar glued) and encasing everything with it.

My ole lady gets laid off for the holidays (she does every year, nothing to worry about there) and will be home ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the time, so my updates with pics may be infrequent, but promise to do it when i can.

lol i guess i was confused too lol.

my fiance doesnt want me postin pics, my "babies" dont mind at all.

The first nodes showing 3 leaves are starting to spread just a bit. In comparision i think i have to totally different strains so it will be interesting to see: Seems one is indica dominant while the other may be savita but it is much to early to fully tell.

My ole lady got some real nice bud the other day, not high quality high priced stuff but the best regular weed we have got in a long time so I started germing 4 seeds the other day.

I think I am going to keep my eyes open for a 4-5 foot tall dresser or armore (or how ever you spell it) to set up for flowering and use my current dresser as a veg and work on a perpetual grow, we'll see. For right now without the flowering dresser I will just plan on LST'in.

Jon, you have a grow journal right? Shoot the link on here - I have so many damn subscriptions it takes me a good hour to read through them.

No I never had a grow journal, I just had a couple of threads. I won't make a grow journal because I have no cam at the moment but I will still compare mine to yours since they are about the same age.

how they doin so far jon?

compare them to rasta too, he is just about half to a week behind mine.

Mr pacific is about a week ahead of me

Non Pic Update: Day 19

Leaving the door open has really helped perk them up. They are still "droopin" just a little bit but looking pretty healthy.

"Lil Girl" hasn't yellowed at all any more and is doing just fine, though because she more then likely seems to be a different strain isn't growing as fast as "big girl"

The 5-leaf sets have started spreading out a bit on both and i am also getting very small secondary growth on the nodes.

Will update with pics when i can

Day 20:
man they are lookin good. Real spread out, temps at constant 70. Still lookin to stock up this weekend. and as soon as i get a chance I will get pics~!

Also, rasta and Mr. Pacific - Whats your light sched? I suppose if you were both runnin 24 hours that would make sense if yours are growin so much faster then mine, if not then i dunno

I'm doing 24/0 with an occasional day of 20/4 thrown in.

i'm on 18/6..
i don't like 24/0 nor have i tried it..
i like my plant to get her rest..
she droops 30 minutes before lights off..
then perks back up 30 minutes before lights on..
my first plant had done that also..
i asked around why she was drooping..
they said she was sleeping..
that was with my first grow though..
so i can assume the same with this grow as well..

what's your light schedule?

Click to expand...

mine is 18/6, so once you see mine you will see how far ahead yours are then mine.

pacific: yours are just growin real fast.

I guess im the slow kid no one picks in a relay race.

They are just going to speed up. I added 8400 lumens to the box today. ;]

Sorry guys, I went on to post pics but its not letting me..... now that I got pics I can just load them when shes smokin or something. Since i typed everything up, i figure why waste it. Here is what I WAS going to post.....
------------------------
Day 26: UPDATE WITH PICS!

Looking good, though getting a little cold (mid 60's) I am going to just block it up a little more to retain a little heat. "Big Girl" is def leadin the pack, so very likely a totally different strain. "Lil Girl" is a champ, slowly going about her business.

Still no perilite, no extra soil, no fan. Money is TIGHT - I can't drop any extra money on ANYTHING. Sack lunches to work and shit just to get by.....

I'm alright, but I make sure shit is taken care of before I spend it on these things. My kids have clothes and there is plenty of food in the cabinet. I in sales and it is TOUGH sellin right now. I'm livin on 60% of what I was makin just 6 months ago (but at least I have a job).

ANYWAYS: to the pics. Sorry I have not updated I just got a shot today cause my ole lady is runnin to dollar general.

How they lookin?

Well I have not been on here in a while but my 3 plants are doing good. One is growing really fast and the second is right behind it but growing a bit slower. Well the third is growing really slow it does not even have the 5 leaf yet but the other two have like 7 by now. The first two are from the same strain of seed and im pretty sure the third that is growing slowly is from a different strain. I think that is why it is growing so slowly. Anyways hopefully one will be female at least.

still nothin, plants looking great though.

Here is a link to my problem loadin pics if anyone can help....

I would imagine thats from the temps being about 65-65
