BobVila's "This Old Grow Show"

First day, just pulled them out of a paper towel and threw them in the jiffy pots, inside small pots, in a box, in a computer tower.

The one on the left was crappy anyway, oh well....


Tower has an in and out fan, with the power supply as well that has its own out fan too.

Little peice of that insulation stuff to block the light from going out the fan.

Top secret.

I actually removed the fan there and used a quieter and more effective one, a video card fan, this is soo cool I've got all kinds of junk droor stuff laying around to use and computer towers.

Don't know what I'm gonna do when they start getting bigger, diffinately a scrog in a metal container tho.

Forgot the pics

Hard to keep up with the journal on daily basis. Nice thing is that the plants are doin fine when I'm away for even two days. Just spraying and watering them here and there.

One on the right is a fast grower (maybe male) we shal see.

Looking good. Nice and green staying short too. They have kind of bent a little because the stems are week but they are starting to root I'm sure and will be getting thicker soon.

hey bob, i was having the same problem with my seedlings, i corrected the problem by moving the lights an inch or 2 from the plants and having a fan blowing on them.
give us details, what are you growing in? temps? lights? this your first time?

Not the first grow, I'm pretty seasoned by now but I haven't been growing for all most 3 years now (tired of buying it) plus I love to grow.

Actually the height has pretty much stunted now and it is growing more width wise for now. I've kept the light really close pretty much the whole time. I also think the one on the right may be a sativa so it is growing taller already. The one on the left is farther from the light and shorter, also just looking at the leaves (color and design) I'm pretty sure that is the case.

I don't know what they are, I have some nice seeds set aside for later, I decided to use bag seed on this startup grow.

Growing in a ATX computer case.

Temps are around 80 I think but I'm guessing, I have been to lazy to put the therm in there (HEHEHE) pretty soon tho.

Lights -> One cfl blue light probably a 25 or 30 watter.
and One 30 watt 16incher kinda a redish light (may swap that out).
I probably will swap all the lights soon and jsut go with a few smaller cfl's I don't like the temps that these put out and the size is kinda big.

One video card blower on the plants.

One pulling air in.

Two pushing out if you count the supply box fan.

Here are some more pics, the leaves are starting to spread out a lot on the left one.

Wow its been a whole week already.

The one on the left looks more like a vine, may end up being really good for compact indoor grow, and is making tons of leaves.

The wheater around here has gotten hot as hell. My temps are up 10 degrees but they are doin fine. Will have to move them in a couple weeks to something bigger I'm sure.

I had to do some down sizing. Only one plant now.

Hope this is a female.

Setup has had some upgrades and I increased the plant pot.

Filling out finally, trying to keep this thing small and flower it ASAP.

I've moved the plant to a slightly larger setup. Still working out the kinks though. Planning to setup a externaly attached power supply and a air filtration system. Getting there, LOOKS LIKE IT IS FEMALE THOUGH. Nice thing is that it is now in a cooler area too. Was having heat issues before.

She is a she. Going to get as much as I can out of the fluorescents and then do a one week HPS flower and harvest, it is going to be premature but I'm going on a vacation and can't do much about it. Just want some smoke.
