Hola!
I'm not smoking pot but i still enjoy it! :)
So i'll try to grow some for my dudes.
As this is my first grow, im not a pro at all, so all the help and tips are appreciated.
Im growing 2 "white widdow" bagseeds and 3 "the church" feminised seeds.

This is the place where i started everything. :)

4 x 24w CFL's (1200 lumens each) and reflector - i made it from cheap soviet oven frying-pan.

This is how i got humidity - arount 70%.

So, there are my babies. Large ones are white widdow and small ones the church.

Closer look at ww. (day 10)

So... I had to move them to larger place... Closet is 4.4 x 2.2 x 6,8 ft.

I used polythene...

Then i used thin foam with folium for walls and ceiling. And some foam un the floor.

There is 400w HPS (55,000 lumens). Not sure if it's enough for 5 plants... ??!!

200 cfm fan was too loud for my apartment so i had to insulate it. Used some foam and stone wool. It works just PERFECT! :) Only sound from the movement of the air left...

used some rubber to get rid of the vibration. For odour i bought 4x12 activated carbon filter. Dont know how it works yet... :) Soon...

This is part of my climate contol. With this device i controll the speed of fans. When temperature is 85 it runs at max speed but in the dark period its running very slowly.

Fan and filter are on 2nd floor, everything else on the 1st floor...

So, plants are in their final house now! How far from my plants should be 400w HPS?

Humidity is around 50% all the time.
Temperature - 75° - 80° when the lights are on. 65° - 75° when the lights are off.

Any ideas about the spots?

PEACE!
 
they tell you to use a certain amount to sell more product

always use half or 1/4 strength and progress when they grow!!!
 
One of platns has only brighter spots on leafs. Looks a bit weird.
But second one has some brown. Looking terrible... (only bottom leafs)
Take a look guys!

I was lucky today and got pH meter for myself! :)
I paid for it 50 USD. It was not the cheapest but still not very sierious. Guy in the shop told me that it will work perfect for atleast 6 months! Its enough for me! :)
Here you can see pH level of my water (7,93) and water + nutrients (7,62).
Now it is tome for some reading! Not sure how to get it down. If i will find all the info I need I will flush all my plants tomorrow.
Hmm. Should i flush also The Church plants? They seem to be very healthy...

I also got this pH tester for soil but somehow I dont believe it. I paid 10 USD for it. What do you think guys?

PEACE!
 
I went to pet shop and they had both PLUS and MINUS pH!
Then i flushed my plants with 6,5 pH water. Now pH of the soil is 6,6.

White widdow is looking better now. Only 2 bottom leafs got yellow and totally dry.
2nd White willdow - the one with curling leafs. Temperature is ok in there but those leafs are still curling. Will check it later again to see if it is getting better after the flush!

Last 3 pictures - The church (16 days) They are gorwing SOOOOO FAST! Im feedeng them with nutes from day 10!

As I thought my pH meter is not so stable. I caliburated it 5 days ago and today i did it again. In 7,01 liquid it showed 7,20...

i'll give this a bump and mention that Biocanna says not to worry about the PH of their nutrients; since they are vegan organic their nutrient works different than conventional nutrients.

Anybody else use the BioCanna?

did you adjust the Ph?

thanks
