Sammyb's First Grow

im new here n i discovered this a bit late but im gonna be updating the proggress of my lil girl.
day 5 n she looked like this

day 7 n my lil girls is looking good, nice green leaves but the sten is looking a bit pale hope theres nothing wrong.
if any 1 reading this like to commend/advise would be appriciated.

day 7 continued
appaqrantly i started on the nitro too early, i gave her nother watering in an attempt to flush out the nitro

day 8 n everything look good, shes grown another cm n her leaves has grown too n a new 1 coming out.(aint live beautiful)
i've rearrange the room so she gets more air from the fan,
i positioned the fan so the air bounce off the walls as she still look pretty weak to get direct wind.

day 9 n alls good, went n got a proper camara

I'm sub'd man. What's your setup like and do you know the strain?

Doin a first grow myself with CFL lights. Check it out. We're not too far apart in the process

hi man
its my 1st kush.
my setup: a t5 2 tube cfl a fan in a closet with a 10 inch vent in the ceiling
im currently rewiring 4x20w cfl bulbs to put 2 on each side

Nice she's looking great. Almost time to upgrade to a new pot, too.

I imagine you got 5500k+ cfl's for veg?

i have no idea wot is meant by 5500k. i see alot of post with those no. at the end but dont no wot they mean. a guess is that its the spectrum but my bulbs aint got those no. so no idae.

Yeah, it's the color temperature of the bulb. Measured in kelvins. 5000k+ is blue light spectrum, primarily used for vegging. 2700k is the red light spectrum, primarily used for flowering. CFL's will usually have it labelled directly on the bulb base in tiny print somewhere along with the wattage.

I've been mixing CFL color types. But I have an accent on 5500k CFLs during vegging. And I will accent the 2700k CFLs during flowering. Good benefits this way.

just had a look at the tubes n nothing butr volt,watts n amps

Well if you don't really care about the number specifics, you can always just ballpark what the light is by looking at the color yourself.

Does it look more red or blue?

Edit: I'm only suggesting this because your bulbs don't have the color temp labeled. Which will happen sometimes.

its more like the blue 1.

day 10 n shes looking a big girl.
look a bit dry so i give her a lil shower n a drink.
the stem is looking much better n stronger

whens a goods time to transplant to a bigger pot ?

day 11 n shes grown 2 more leaves

day 12

the tips of the longest leaves rr turning brown, does anybody no wots wrong?

day 12 continue
:
repotted her n added some water n nutes

What kind of soil are you using? She looks real healthy right now. I wouldn't worry too much about the brown spots. My plant got them, but it was really stressed out for specific reasons. Doesn't look like you have anything to worry about. Just make sure you don't over water. If you stick your fingers down a few inches and feel moisture, don't water yet.

thanks for the input
my soil is
50% compost,
20% soil,
10% worm casting,
10% perlite and 10% vermiculite.
the browning is only on the tip of the leave, i just wanted to make sure its nothing major so i could act on it before it does become major.

BTW i have a moisture meter but i dont think its working right, its always pointing tro dry to medium wet even when i place it in water

It's a little early for nutes, IMO. Possible nutrient burn... it doesn't look major though. Just use your fingers for moisture and make sure you (gently) go deep enough. If it feels dry that far down give it some water.

day 13
theres discoloration on the leaves, does any 1 no wots up?

day 14
i replanted her back in a smaller pot as adviced.
way to early for a big pot
