My Magic Blue Mystic

Ok so here i am at last. Let me give you a lil back ground before i start this grow, ive spent the last four months on different sights looking for the best knowledge i can get to start my run at some very good pot.. day one got some great beans from nirvana i got 10 northern lights and 10 skunk x haze to start off with,and i thought how hard could this be so off i was i started 6 seeds 3 of each all in soil mg nute release first mistake all the seeed sprouted and then all the seeds fail some way or the other. so i went back to school and found RIU and found some very good people on here got lots of help and im very thakful to you all..so im off again only this time ive since picked up a dwc unit as well as some more seeds from nirvana that were supposed to be easier growing on the newbie..I got 3papaya/3white rhino/ and 4blue mystic beans..so now off i go with what i know!i plant in rockwool 2 northern lights 2 skunk x haze.i plant in soil this time not nute release but still mg organic, seeds dirrectly into soil 2papaya 2blue mystic 2white rhino 2skunk x haze all in three liter soda bottles.. first of all the dwc rockwool seedlings out of 4 only one survived the others drowned so after that the other about a week later also wet his maker by forgeting to water. so on to the soil grow out of the 8 seeds sewn 6 sprouted 2bm/1papaya/1skunk/2wr so that cool to me.now i talked to myself and agreed that i would not start this journal until i got the basics down and learned to care for my babies as they should be this is not a game and it cost money..well boys and girls im ready.welcome to my magic blue mystic grow (also follow her my papaya/skunk/wr)..

ok this is my setup to be used im growing strictly with cfl's i have two differnet grow areas one will be my closet open door policy the other a quite wonderful box grow and when i say box i mean cardboard wardrobe u-haul box.. inside the box is mylar dwc unit 4cfl's 3 26 watt 6500k and 1 23 wattt 2700k..for seedling and early vegging..see pics.

ok so you've seen the setup for the box and dwc unit now lets get to the closet set up for my soil grows..in the closet i have completely mylarred it as well and the rest is all basic home shit 9" oscilating fan for circulation and a 5" stationary fan blowing on the plants at all times.im using cfl's here to as well only in this room my vegging cfl's wiil be a lil higher out put than the box here im runnning 2x42 watt 6500k 2x26watt 6500k with 4x 23watt 2700k now bare in mind this will change drastically for flowering when i get there.in both set ups ill be running lights 24/7 all the way through vegging and then 24 hours of darkness before 12/12.. my nutes are simple for the dwc basic suplied nutes sh and super thrive.. for the closet grow ill be using alaska nutes for grow and flowering in the flowering stage ill add to the alaska some micro fox farms bloom nutes and ill be using mollasses every other watering..heres the closet..pics

and we are back..now is for the fun part lets get these seeds to growing..all of these early pics are not good but they get better as the babies get older.. the pics of dwc are 5 days after sprout pics 1-2 nl..the pics of the soil grow are 9 days after sprout 3-5 are 2bm 1papaya

here are pics of the bm babes i was worried about them being very short but youll see later my worries are not for long these babies grow fast after the second week.

i have two that are doing well the others are not doing much at all i may have over watered them with the rock wool the two that i started in peat pots are up and runinng as for the others ill call dr kevorkian..if they dont show some will.. 1 nl 1 skunkx haze

and im back once again not having any problems so far but waiting on roots to pop out of the bottom of peat pots can be a biatch.lol but finally some roots have root will travel...

here we are again these babies are starting to take off really well now and today i started grow nutes for the fist time @1/4 strenth for now to see ho they handle it...

im back in only three days because of the groth of these babies also i wanted to say that now we are caught up with the grow thanks for being here with me i hope the rest goes well..its day 224 for me and im not getting much out of my dwc yet i hope the roots touch water soon.but in the mean time soil is the one that has my attention check out the growth in just 2 1/2 days since first nutes no burns or leaf trouble so on next feeding ill go up to maybe 1/2 strenth nutes...now that im done catching everything up to today please feel free to post any questions or props for what i hope to be a productive grow.. peace pot prosperity ..dont forget the plus reps i need some...

definitely throw em in for 24 hours of darkness, don't let the temp drop too low w/o the lights though. I did about 36 hr so i could get the 12hr of light to go from 7pm-7am and not have to worry about temps being too high w/ lights on or temps too low with lights off.

There's a lot of wiggle-room with the darkness I think, 36 may have been a little much but my Blue Mystics are the best looking plants in my grow. I'm maybe a week out from chopping em.

looking good! i concur 24hrs darkness sends a clear signal to the plants that it is indeed time to flower. how many days/ weeks was that from germ to switching to flower?
