New guy about 4 weeks in, how am i doing? (pics)

fshields1 · Feb 11, 2008

I planted a bagseed about 4 weeks ago, and this is what iv got so far. just started feeding nutes ( 30-10-10 ) if all goes well i figure that i will let it veg for another 6-8 weeks as long as it doesnt get too big cause im limited to 21"w x 31"d x 48"h. walls are covered in mylar, fans are 3 pc fans near floor for intake and 1 10" fan at top for exhaust. lights are 5 48" cool white floros vertically, 1 18" warm white floro horizotally, and i just added 2 45 watt cfls.

any advice or suggestions are more than welcome.

the first 2 pics are from 1/25, the next 3 are from 2/4, then next 3 are from 2/10, and the last 2 are from today 2/11.

Your area seems big enough, I'd say the lighting looks fine in terms of just one plant. Theres always the discussion about cool whites v.s. daylights for vegging/flowering but either way can be done. The plant looks healthy and all n' all you look like you have your head on straight. I guess my only criticism is having an oscillating fan on your plant so your branches can be stronger. Your nuts seem spot on in terms of Nitrogen so keep doing what you're doing. I take it your comfortable with growing your plant in a non stealth climate since you didn't get into very much detail about odor absorbencies, etc.

My only questions are what does your nutrient set up look like currently? Whatcha using for soils and food. And do you know what your pH level is on your h20? Good job there bro keep it up

from what i see, you're off to a good start. you might want to make reflectors for your CFLs though. they seem to be the 42w ones and I know from personal experience that they can light up a plant a lot more than that. also, the lights could be placed closer but i guess with your setup its tough to do. the CFLs should be the main lighting from the top just so you get more of their light, they put out more lumens than the tube you have over top of it right now

just watering with a watering can but, im using distilled water with the nuts added it goes in as around 6.8-6.9 and the run off is like 7.0 -7.1

also, you definitely dont want to veg for 10-12 weeks total if you need to fit the entire plant and lights under 4 feet height. i vegged my current plant for 6 weeks and its approx 16 days in flower and its a bit over 2 feet at the halftime of its life

That's why you top your plants when there's about 6 nodes on the stalk...then she gets fat instead of tall.
