This is the start of week 2 and not much to update other than some minor changes to the cabinet and the addition of 4 new babies. Everything is going according to plan, no problems to report. Here are the weekly pics I promised.

Call me old school but I always germinate mine in the growing medium(sewing the seeds). I have never had a problem doing it this way. Good luck on your situation and your grow. -CG ZZZzzz...

Looks like nute burn to me.

I added a 42w CFL($9.00 at Wal-Mart) to the cabinet tonight for a grand total of 8,051 lumens. That shit is bright as fuck. One more 26w and I will have achieved artificial sunlight at 10,000 lumens. The plants don't seem to mind though so as long as they are happy, that's all that matters. I...

Upon inspection today, the plants seem to have responded well to the fish tank water and have increased growth speed. I have also begun diluting small amounts of 10-10-10 fertilizer into a gallon jug. I will be treating the soil with this very slowly and will report any changes.

OMG Candy is that algae all over those pots? Your plants look nute burned too.

Be good to see those pics man. I'm growing a 12/12 micro myself and I chose soil. They seem to be off to a good start and loving their soil + jiffy mix medium. Get those pics up man. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/111498-cfl-12-12-ww-soil.html

Thanks for the support guys, I'll keep you updated regularly.

Shit man my plants are as big as yours and are only 4 days old LOL!!!! Mine are White Widow and bag seed. https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/111498-cfl-12-12-ww-soil.html

I have discovered a nitrogen deficiency in my choice of soil. I am kicking myself for my decision to stay away from soils with nutrients. I read that seedlings should not be given nutrients until they are at least 3 weeks old, but overlooked the fact that this only pertains to watering...

I plan to upgrade to 4 40w CFL and 2 26w CFL next week. Remember this grow space has a little over 1 sq. ft. of floor so the required lumens is a minimum of 3,000. The lights I have now give me over 4,000. Testament to these figures is the fact that my youngins are not stretching. Remember also...

The ventilation improvements are working great. Temps in there with the lights on and the door shut are steady at 80F. The plants don't seem to be stretching so it looks like I have enough light. It's looking as if everything is a go. Now we'll just see what the next few weeks bring. Finger's...

Well I made some additions to the cabinet today. I added a vent on each side. One behind the aeration fan and another opposite of it. Hopefully these will help move fresh air in and hot air out. I will be monitoring temps for the next two hours with the door closed to see if there is an...

Guinea pig. Truth to the cliche?

Yeah I plan to upgrade the exhaust next week to a much higher CFM

Just for shits and giggles here is a couple of pics of my Large Mouth Bass. He is about 3 mo. old.

Well I've finally started my first journal. For this grow I will be doing a CFL 12/12 micro in soil. Since this is my first grow indoors, I decided to experiment with the basics. I have a bigger space that I am working on for flowering. That space is a closet that is 19"D x 23"W x 5'H. I plan to...

What? I'm lost.

Cats, deer, bears, rats, birds, animals are naturally drawn to the tasty scent of the marijuana plant. They will eat them any chance they are given. The solution? Simple. Keep them away from the plants.

It's in the grow journal section. Here is the link. He uses Herby Buckets made out of Solo cups. This way the watering is practically fail safe since there is an overflow hole. 12/12+CFL+HB's=perpetual?
