Hey everyone,

I am hoping to log everything about this grow here in this thread, I WELCOME EVERYONE to take part and help/advise or just chat in this journal.

This is my first time growing anything, i started germination of 6 seeds back on NOV 18th

3x Heavyweight Fruit Punch
3x Atomic by Bomb seeds

Planted in solo cubs and fox farm ocean forrest soil on NOV 20TH
4 of the 6 popped the following day. The other 2 never did show their faces. :(

I now have 3 Fruit punch and 1 Atomic all growing.

I started the new seedlings under a few CFLs for first 4-5 days until moving them into the tent(4x4x7) and under the 600W mh.


Space : 4x4x7 apollo grow tent
Medium : fox farm ocean forrest
Nutrients : General Hydroponics Floranova Grow/Bloom
Solo cups / 2g smart pots / 5g smart pots
600w MH/HPS light
6inch inline fan and carbon filter with speed controller
2x clip on fans


Will post pics in a bit.

Thanks for reading

Day 15 from sprout


One girl got droopy this morning, hoping she was just lacking water as I've just been using the light cup method for watering.


Other 3 all seem to be doing well.

Day 15 from seed


transplanted biggest girl, it was pretty easy, altho soil was very dry and loose, wanting to fall apart in my hand. Im really hoping i didnt do any damage to her.

71-72f / 37-40 rh lights off

Only PH`d water as of yet.
18/6 cycle


even with humidifier running non stop, cannot seem to increase humidity past 38-40%

All 4 girls were transplanted and then topped this past 2 days.
All 4 seem to be doing well, they have all been transplanted and this morning took their first real watering (ph`d) to runoff in the new 2g pots.

I expect 3-5 days before they are dry/light enough to water again. Next watering will include nutes for first time.

Your plants look good for the first grow, congrats.

One thing you will hear many people say is to go easy on the nutes, it's very easy to overdo it. Fox Farm Ocean Forest (FFOF) is a great choice of soil, and seeing how you just transplanted 2 days ago I would highly recommend that you do not feed these plants any nutes for at least another 2 or 3 weeks. They are just getting started in their new pots. Trust me, they will do just fine!

Hi, thanks for the response, glad to have you in here.

I wasnt quite sure when to start with nutes, read a grow journal of guy growing same strain and he started on day 25 , so thats where i got my baseline, one difference tho is he wasnt growing in FFOF he was growing in Roots Organic.

I will take your advice and hold off the nutes and just stick to Ph`d water for another 2 weeks and see how they are doing/looking
