Island green first grow

Hi all,

This is going to be my first grow. I don't have much experions so I'm learning as a grow so please go easy as this is my first. I am also growing on a budget so I don't have all this crazy equipment like this advans growers here. I will be updating my journal as I go .

So you have any details or questions ,pictures about it ....no big deal it's your first grow we've actually all had one of those lol jk. What are you growing and how are you growing would make this a lot more interesting friend ........

Hi Indacouch,

I am using my phone right now and I can't seem to load any pics. As of right now I am using cfl 4 of them 42w daylight I'm growing four plants right now. I don't know what they are I got it for free from a friend one clone 3 seedlings. Roots organic as my soil and I got a free tent from a friend its 4'3"x4'6"x6' it pretty big for four cfl light. I am waiting for my next paycheck so I can grab a 400w or 700w led light because I'm more concern on heat and electricity.

This was my first try growing from seeds I had four unknown from a friend and 2 out of four made it but I put it outside and it soon died from the heat bad idea.

Here is my grow tent and plants.

Yeah well you will learn as you go just keep track of what your doing so you know what works and what doesn't .......just remember for the future anytime you move a plant outdoors you must harden them off or they wiil die Also and this is from my own experience remember they don't need much at all when there young plants and good watering habits is a big key in success in a garden so just do your homework and if you have any questions me and lots of other people don't mind helping

Thanks for your kind words for a noob grower like me.

This is just a old update to what I did to my plants.


9/14
Clone 1 has a sign of some sort of deficiency it may be lack of nitrogen I think Ill transplant them to a bigger pot and add nuts. the plats are growing fast and over taking there pots. This will be the first nut feeding. The soil for clone one and p2 has dried up but p1 soil is still wet she has a slow growth.

6pm lights goes on I repotted my plats
And added general organic nuts. When repotting p2 i found a seed that I thought died but sprouted way below the pot of p2 and it was to deep for it to sprout out I replanted in its own pot hopefully it grows I also added a fan in my tent.

After being gone for a week on vacation
My girls were dry not to bad but was dry so had to water them down.
My tent also had a heating problem went up to 90f+. But the good news I had a late bloomer in my garden happy about that so now I have 5 plants.

Another day to updated my grow I desided to LST one of my plants .

Super cropping test from one plant and LST the others.This girls are my test subjects for my future grow.

Got home from work and cleaned up my tent. My girls are doing well after LST and Super cropping this morning. they seem to pop right back up I also replanted one of my late bloomer to her own pot hope she does well. They also got repositioned
so the fan can hit them.

I can't wait for my 900w mars 2 to come in I order it last night.

Day 5 of my jernal. I'm trying to keep my girls low till my led lights come in. I got two of my ladyes LST and I cropped so I can keep the canapy low. I also trimmed the lower leaves of one of my girl so it can focus its growth to the top pluse the lower leaves was just wasting energy.

Today I just topped two and FIM one of my plants then raised the light 12" up from the canopy giving them the room to stretch.

Just finished feeding my girls in the morning with nuts but I did notes one of the leaves on my girls have a problem. It looks like calmag problem if any ones looking into my grow can you tell if its calmag? I also tested my pH its 6.0 on all my girls.

Very good plants, good job!

Thanks Califand,
I know my plants are not the best looking like the master growers here in rollitup but I'm trying with the best of my ability.
I also appreciate that you gave your time to look at my grow journal because as my plats grow the more I learn and grow with them . I also don't have all the equipment that I need to make my grow a lot better but i"m slowly fin tuning everything so keep looking at my journal it can only get better hopefully...

My girls look a lot better after feeding them nuts there standing straight up and topping them off doesn't seem to bother them.

Just a quick update pic.
