Hey everyone. This is my first grow. I started with 5 free power skunk seeds from g13 labs. They came from The Attitude Seed co. So for everyone who has searched for anything on these seeds and found nothing, Maybe this will help. I germed using the paper towel method. The seeds were really small. 4 out of 5 cracked and were put in 3 inch plantable peat moss cups filled with a mixture of moss, mushroom compost, perlite and lime for ph adjustment. im germing using 2 100 watt daylight 6500k cfls, (no more than 2 inches away). within 24 hours 2 were coming out of ground. 48 hours later and all were out of ground. i turned lights back from 24 and 0 to 16 and 8 last night. ( read that was a good light schedule for the first week or 2) . This is day 3. All 4 are at least an inch tall and have 2 sets of leaves. A couple showing the start of a 3rd set. I should have my 400 watt mh hps light this weekend as well as the fox farm soil trio nutes. Seeing how this is my first grow any advice and suggestions would be great.

I ordered twice from Seed Boutique and once from Dr. Chronic and got them both..so I am anxious to see if this order comes..I want need the seeds for a while..but since they were giving the Power Skunk seeds away I figured what the heck that looked really good..so good luck and I will be watching for sure!..btw what other seeds did you order? I ordered the Greenhouse Color Coded Fem pack...and a Strawberry Cough Fem Seed..

Hey superman. yeah im in the states. took 6 days from attitude. the freebies were all i ordered. i have more room in there though and want to add some more. thought about arjans strawberry haze,alaskin ice or himalayan gold. or DP strawberyy cough or power plant. I want a hi yeilding sativa that flowers fairly quick. and ine more question. say they advertise 400grams per meter squared indoors. does that not mean 400 grams per plant? i want like a pound per harvest.

I guess it all depends on the size of the plant. Certain strains get bigger and ect..but it also depends on your grow space and how long you veg. Its pretty simple...the longer you veg. the bigger your plants gets the more bud you get..but then the correct amount of light and stem size matters too..but since you are getting a pretty good light I imagine you will have a decent yeild. I hope so for you..so how did you just get the freebie seeds? Oh yeah are you putting an oscilllating fan in your grow area?..I have mine hooked up to my timer with the light..that has worked great for me..that way during the night cycle they are not stressed and can grow the stems nice and thick..

Ok guys. todays day 10. They slowed down growing 3 days ago or so and the bottom set of leaves are yellow. i noticed roots starting to come out of bottom of peat cups and thought is was time to transplant. transplanted to 5 gallon buckets 2 days ago and they have been under a 400 w metal halide for 4 days now on 18 and 6 light schedule. no nutes yet but im wondering if i should start. i have fox farm soil trio. the 4 individual pics are of today. PLEASE GIVE ADVICE

how far are you plants from the light? do you have an oscillating fan in your grow area?..when I ordered seeds from seed boutique they sent me free seeds as well and they were the smallest seeds I have seen too..but i did get a couple of really nice plants out of them..so I wouldn't worry..but I completely agree with guudbud..I wouldnt give any nutes until they are atleast 3 weeks old and then introduce them like half strength or so..

What that usually means is under almost perfect conditions you can obtain 400 grams in a 3 by 3 area.

OK guys. Day 15. (I think). Heres the update. After reading you guys comments and doing some serious thinking a light bulb flashed in my head. My potting soil mix didnt have hardly any nutrients in it ( other than the mushroom compost. So i went with my gut feeling and mixed up a couple gallons of 1/2 strength grow big and big bloom and watered each 5 gal bucket with a half a gallon. (that was 4 days ago.) WOW. By the end of the day i could tell a big difference. Take a look at pics. They have been going strong since. All are between 2 and 3 inches tall. My next question is this. The foxfarm suggests feeding every other watering on a weekly schedule. if it takes a 1/2 a gallon to get drips out of my pot. that would mean i would water 1/2 gallon every 3 to 4 days with nutes every other watering. Is this gonna be too much water or how do i need to adjust my watering schedule to fit the fox farm schedule. Honestly i thought a 1/2 gal of water a week would be sufficient. but then i would be using nutes every time if their supposed to have them every week. Someone explain this please. They havent had any water since the first set of nutes. The top is dry and 2 inches down or so is darker (still somewhat moist). I hope this isnt too much useless info i just want this to go right. Thanks in advance.
