1st cheap grow journal

This is my 1st, well second foray into growing... My first original grow was done with 0 knowledge and I paid for that. more on that later... so i said screw dirt and im goin with some hydro...

My first grow started actually pretty easy i didnt have really any knowledge of growing but I remember an experiment with a lima bean when I was in elementary where we put a bean in a napkin and it grew so I figured Marijuana seeds would be the same... My girlfriend actually found a sack outside of my mom's local Kroger's.. It was such trash it smelled horrible and had about a million seeds the 1st pic is about 1/4 of all the seeds in that small 20 sack.



I did what i did in elementary and wrapped some seeds in a damp napkin, put it on my modem/router and out of the probably 20 seeds i tried to sprout 2 did hahahahh anyways i transported it to a big pot and got some scotts potting soil and about 2 days later i got this

and this




then two days after that i noticed thrips flying all over my room i guess they infiltrated with that dirty ass dirt so basically I dumped the plant its sitting on my patio and the other(thrip free due to dish soap)is in the closet now i want to see if nature will take its course if at all on the one on the patio. but on to my hydro setup...

I saw a picture of i think it was called a stealth system which was a container with net pots in it i also watched mr greens vid on youtube and came up with this set up...
I used the same container with party cups and pea gravel. I figured everything else out by i guess common sense then found this place so i could figure out what i needed beyond the housing materials. i am currently waiting on my nutes, a light, and a water pump,also i plan on getting some of nirvanas seeds and seeing if i can make it do what it do. heres my current set up without the stuff i previously mentioned.

The main materials for housing the plants

My Holing Tool(Soldering Iron)

and the I guess finished product



any feedback on my gangsta ass deebo setup is welcom but I dont want to hear really anything about getting an HPS seriously every thread i see on here where people ask about Flourescents somebody has to come on and diss the persons entire setup and tell them what they should do with their money plz allow me to be as poor as possible i dont expect to yield much on these bagseed so y waste the effort.

So I guess this is day 4 of my dirt grow peekaboo

this is the grow operation i have now its for the most part worthless IMO I have that CFL and as you can probably tell its of the redder spectrum so I will be getting a Blue ASAP


Good news though apparently my Rockwool has shipped so hopefully i can get started on my Dro setup sooner rather than later my gf wants this to be done with asap, me too but i'd never admit it. The other items
85W CFL
3 - FF Nutes
and Water pump are still processing hopefully more info by tomm.

Day 5

OK still no word on my light, Nutes, or pump, but im still optimistic on my orders/

What i did do was hit up wal-mart and bought two 6500(daylight)Bulbs so im hoping that will help with the growth of my baby

here she is


I think now she has those perpendicular leaves growing in so time will reveal all.

Off to buy some hopefully grade A seeds from nirvana anyone have opinoons on them I have read around and heard they are pretty good and I see they have the best prices so yea PAZ.

Day seven got my 85w CFL and my rockwool... Emailed hydrowarehouse and they said they are waiting on 1 more bottle of nutes so yea here she go




Just wondering does anyone think its waaayy to short or am I trippin? any help on that would be great... thx

plant is browning at the edges I dont have any nutrients to give it and the soil is looking drained honestly, dont know if that can happen but seems like it but im not too worried about this plant im just waiting on my nutes and pump to get here(Saturday)

ALSO I built a sort of grow Closet for mothers(it has a door but It wasnt on at that point)

i am going to build a smaller one for flowering clones in months to come

WOW ok big update I got my snow white seeds from attitude and have had everything hooked up since last saturday

also transferred the dirt plant into the rez and it is actually doing pretty good. The plant drooped heavily the first day then 2 days later it popped back up and its dooing alright i guess im doin 1/8 of the nutes right now I'll add more probably today

just now takin pics and here they are

Any help would be greatly appreciated... Gracias

looking good man
keep those cfls as close as U can get, one inch away would be the BEST!-in one pic one of your seedlings were really stretching to light, its normal 4 such a young plant, but i ya can-get those clfs an inch way.
anyway, seedlings looking good hombre


keep up the good work....

Click to expand...

I didnt have the light holes in the box so the lights were far away I didnt think the one on the right would stretch but it did pretty bad but i have moved em like a inch away

its day 35 and 21 for my snow whites I guess they looking alright I think the cups I grow my plants in is impeding the growth of the root system but im not to concerned because the plants are still having a lot of vegetative growth I actually think I can cut a couple branches and start cloning...



Anybody got sumthin to say Go for it, but check the negativity at the door.

i would post up pics but im lazy as shyt right now But good news some clones I got are now officially rooted I was ready to give up after like 5 days

Fucking male

Im pretty sure my big bitch is actually an hombre i want to cry

what yall think???

My other two plants have white pistils in the air like they holding up a bank Im pretty satisfied pictures later I guess. I accidently dropped a light on my small snow white and i just put the par that broke off in rock wool so I hope it will root then I can still get omething from it. LOL no one ever says anything so i just use this for myself I guess...

wow bro nice grow man ur ahead of me ... how old are the female plants u got left and how many do u have?... btw how old are they now? i was going thru ur journal seemed pretty interesting how u started off and where u ended up also good job man! i'v hurd that woodchips at that amount cant b that good for ur plants but then again ur plants look real healthy what kinda nutes are u giving it and how much? take a look at my first grow bro its at about 4 weeks now today officially and im praying they all females if u got n e suggestions let me no https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/228952-first-grow-gods-haze-pics.html

i guess as of last saturday they are 7 and 9 weeks old more like 7 for both since I started in Dirt for the bigger one. I dropped a light on my snow white and it broke a top so I put tha in rockwool and im witing for it to root its still looking alright.

So what is today??? I have lost track of my grow more pics I guess after my lights come back on I guess I am going on week 5 of my grow.... I havent really been taking great care of my bagseed plant it actually looks pretty bad and I know I am probably stressing it but hell its still growing and alive so im not too worried about it.

Dude, try not to stress them too much..Yeah they are growing, but a lot of stress can delay flowering times, so look out...




Stay high da07flopro.....

yea i figured as much but these plants have gone through so much bullshit its a miracle they're holding on... Hell I just found out ive been giving these girls the wrong nutes in conjuntion with the right ones....we'll see how they do. Approx. 4 more weeks i guess prolly more maybe 2 after that at lkeast for my snow white(she's had a tough life).

well these pics are from today plz dont say anything too harsh about my bagseed grow any problems you see are from me burning her with the lights LOL and my snow white is just scraggly hopefully me upping the tiger will have a positive effect, and Im moving the burn lights im sure it couldnt hurt LOL.

the 1st and last pics are my snow white that has endured sooo much and is still standing strong the middle three are my bagseed so I didnt really care if that one made it but tell the truth it still is looking alright at the bud sites 2 me could be wrong.

Chopped down my oldest plant and I gotta tell ya this shit is DANK LOL

The Plant that was grown was from a bagseed of some TERRIBLE weed and although the weed has almost no real taste or smell(much like the shitty bag I got it from) it gets me FUUUCKED UP, prolly cuz of the Hydro set up


I cant wait for my snow white to finish it has like 4x the amount of crystals on it here go some pics of the harvest and of my Snow white

I dont pay attention to days anymore because its pointless and no one posts in here anyways so SMH bout to pick up my check and get some salvia Smoke safe...


1st .................A sample I took early on before harvest
2nd................got myself an OZ
3rd................Repeat that 2nd one!!


My snow white has been topped so it has 2 main heads a light fell on it but a miraculous thing happened. the stalk beneath the top that got cut off my the lamp began developing a head that is now EQUAL to my original Top its pretty cool and now I know how topping actually works

4th.................the Front "top"
5th.................The Back "top"
6th..................bud shot
7th................bud shot

How much more longer on my Snow white people like I said I dont really keep track of days anymore but a reference point would be good

lol cool isnt it

Not trying to be mean or anything, but your plants look sick.
You got enough air circulation?

I can't say much about how longer you got left as the picture isn't that sharp.
Get the plant to some sunlight and take a close up picture of an avarage nug and we will try to estimate.


Also, your using bubleponics or sprinklers? you mentioned a water pump before.

What lights are you currently using?
