First grow - unknown seeds

This is my first real attempt at growing. I'm using seeds from the last bag of skunk I bought ( I know, I should be using good seeds... but I'm a little nervous purchasing seeds. I will buy good seeds for my next grow.

I started off with 12 seeds.

1/12/09 - Placed 12 seeds in a damp paper towel to germinate in the dark.

1/14/09 - planted 6 of the sprouts into Miracle Grow planting mix.

I'm using 4 20 Watt 6500k Full Daylight CFL bulbs

I don't have a grow space picked out yet. Right now they are in the laundry room.

I have a 400 Watt MH bulb I need to setup once I figure out where I'm going to setup my grow room

Here are pics of the little gals from today, 1/19/09

Skip the good seeds- pick your favorite strains from this grow and use clones. Spend your money elsewhere. Lights, nutes, etc.

Pics didn't upload first time... trying again.

get the bread when your ready to bake

Day 7

One of my plants are turning yellow in the middle. Not sure what's up.

I'll start checking the forums for help.

I just checked my water (I get it from a well) PH is 6.55, PPM is 46 which seems fine.
I think I'm just giving them too much water. I'm going to hold off on watering for a few days. I'll check the soil with my finger before do give them more water.

cross your fingers everyone

Day 9

I just transplanted my plants into 8" pots.

When I took them out of their starter pots, I noticed two of them had "fuzzy" roots and were dripping wet. DOH! The worst one turned very yellow. I don't know if it will make it, so I put it in the same pot with the other "fuzzy" rooted plant.

All of my plants leafs are curling down, which I found out in the forums, is from over watering.

I gave them a little drink after transplanting today, but I will be careful not to over water again.

ppm 46???? i start my seedlings at 250....

hmmm...

yep... 46. I have an ro unit.

I was wondering if that was to low? In reading through the forums, it seems on the low side.

Day 11

I lost all but one of my plants to Mice!!

My grow room was setup in an outdoor shed. I moved my surviving plant back into the house.

Once I figure out how to mouse proof my shed, I'll move my grow back out to the shed.

Until then, I'm back to germinating more seeds!
