Hi All! New to forum, and first timer. (Just sharing my 1st baby... :) )

[Lightfear]

I found a few Sour Diesel Haze - Auto seeds I had bought back in 2016, but was afraid to grow back then, due to legalities here in Arizona. We've since voted to legalize recreational, (YEA!!!) so I had to have a go at it!

Soil is Dollar General special - (hehe), blended with potting mix I had grown some great green beans in last year, and that was a blend of old-town garden dirt and potting soil. The DG soil was marked as "0.1 - 0.08 - 0.06" for nutrients, (just realized that TODAY) so the poor thing hasn't seen a whole lot of food, aside from what was left over in my blend from last year.

One seed sprouted, and the first pic is day 16 from seed, next is day 20, and the last 3 pics are at day 25 (today). *The plant is only about 2-1/2" tall ATM. I blended a mild mix of General Hydroponics: 3ml - Flora Grow, 3ml - Micro, 1.5ml - Bloom to a gallon of water, and pH balanced it to 66.5 before watering 1/2 of the gallon to the plant. (She hadn't been watered since transplanting from the starter cell with the same soil blend, into a 3 gallon pot, and that was exactly a week ago, today.)

So, just saying "Hi!", and sharing my progress, and my fun... (I know some of the tips are yellowing, which was why I broke out the General Dynamics today.)

Feel free to share what you think, and PLEASE... any feedback/hints you guys may have.

***Forgot - lighting for the moment is a single 9w GE full-spectrum LED grow bulb, sitting nearly on top of the plant, but I'm building a "Phototron" clone to house her and future plants in for future (smaller-size) grows.

Too much water everywhere...

Yep, I literally watered 5 minutes before last 3 pics... (None for 7 days before.)

Phototron? Lol. This tightwad here was trying to weasel out of paying me cash for helping move a bunch of construction equipment. He says “You grow. Take this. It’s a special light for growing pot”. In the cardboard box it had been shipped in.

Got it home and opened it and it’s this “thing”. A self contained grow chamber. My one month veg plants would be overflowing in it. Posted a picture of it and someone here “Wow that’s an original first model Phototron.”

I left it at the transfer station where a dumpster diver could pick it up.

The Phototron! Went back to the tightwad and flat said “Pay me. WTH was that thing?”

“It’s from the 80’s. This guy’s dad wouldn’t let him use it.”

LOL!!! Yep, that's the one! I first saw the things in one of my brother's "magazines" I had stolen from him when I was pre-teen. Built a modified unit a few years later...and mine worked incredibly for a few plants.

My chamber is designed slightly around their basic idea, but much larger, and much more capable of actually growing anything. We're only allowed 6 plants here per person, (max. 12 for any household) so with the two I'm building, I should be able to maintain a steady supply for my fiance'. (I don't smoke much, but I do love growing anything I can fit in a pot... And the beauty of these plants has always mesmerized me.)

Thanks for the pic, Harley! Gave me a grin.
