Hey guys, started a grow about 4 weeks ago and thought of starting a grow journal so you guys could help me along the way as i'm a first time grower. Been doing lots of research but i believe that nothing beats good ol' experience. So got nothing to offer other then pictures of my babies, so hope you guys will enjoy em!

Setup:

Cabinet: 3'x2'x4'
Lights: 150W MH 5200k (x2)
Medium: Soil mix
Seeds: Bubblicious (x6)

Pictures of the setup:

Exterior:

Closer look inside:

Pictures of the plants @ 17days. (some mineral def. at this stage, was overseas at this point of time.)

So thats all just to get things rollin, my babies are at day 29 now, will post more recent pictures later today.

Cheers!

morning all!

Woke up today to check on me plants only to find a couple of issues.

Issue #1:

Rolling & curling leaves. (Below are some pics)

Can someone please help diagnose the cause?

Issue #2

Hooks appearing near the stems.

Do these look like male hooks?

Everything's goin wrong today.

i dont know about your first issue, but i dont think those are male flowers, i think they are just new leaves growing....... the plants look too small to show their sex yet...

Well guys, nothing much to update, plants are growing reeeeeeeeal slow.. ugh. Got a lil bit of nute burn on them, dammit.

Got new lights, so running a 3x150W MH (5000k, 10000k, 5000k) system as you can see in the following pic. Experimenting with super blue light (10000k). Was thinking of getting a 14000 or 20000k, i guess that'll have to wait.

Here are some pics i took today. Not much vertical growth at all, most of it are the secondary leaves. Do feel free to leave comments guys! Thanks a bunch!


The whole lot.

Secondary Growth.

Hey mate! Thanks fer droppin by! one of the 2 unconfirmed has already been identified as male :\ So it's 3 Females, 2 Males, 1 Unknown. Looks like the 50/50 law of gender is pretty accurate.

Hey man, looks really good so far. I've got a couple of questions about this male. What soil did you use? What nutes? Did you add anything to the soil, like enzymes?'

Sorry for the question but I like to look at roots and understand what the people did.

Here is a male I killed off the other day. It was 2 months old. Here's the pic of his roots.https://www.rollitup.org/attachment...08249-been-long-time-coming-been-dscf0701.jpg
