Simple closet grow journal of 4 bagseed plants

leetsys · Aug 10, 2008

This is my 2nd attempt at this closet grow, I had to pull the others up for various reasons. They are 6 days old here. Right now I just have 2 6500K CFL's on these babies and also 2 4ft fluorescent bulbs, although the 4 footers are raised pretty high up right now since I still have to go out and buy more chain. While I'm out getting that I'll also be getting probably around 12 more CFL's and some mylar. I have them in MG Moisture Control soil. I know people all have their different opinions on Miracle Grow but I thought I'd give it a shot. The one in the 4th picture seems to be a bit ahead of the others. Let me know what you guys think. :hump:

Hmmm any thoughts, any thoughts at all? haha :mrgreen:

instead of buying more chain just put the plants up on a box or somthing.

welcome to riu. fyi, i used miracle grow for veg on my first grow and am very happy with the result. switched to blooming fert when i changed to flowering. as for the light, the site recommends about 40 watt per square ft. for flourescent/cfl.

Cool, I'll have to look into that blooming fert. some more. By the way, what lighting did you personally use for veg/flower?

more light for 4 plants!

For sure, like I said I plan on stocking up on more CFL's real soon.

Thought I'd post up some pics of how they're doing today. 8 days old, I think they're lookin' pretty good.

i used a 600 watt hps, will switch to mh next time for veg. btw, i made a math error on the watts/sq ft. you should shoot for 75 watts/sq ft for cfl or 50 watts/sqft for hps.

Took a few new pics today of the girls. Today they are 15 days old and are looking pretty good.

desertrat · Aug 19, 2008

they look great - do you know they are girls or are you the eternal optimist?

leetsys · Aug 19, 2008

Lol no I have no clue if they are females or not. They're not quite old enough to take clones from them.

cheetah2007 · Aug 20, 2008

yeah mate, preaty good

cheetah2007 · Aug 20, 2008

btw, do u have fan blowin on them? coz the stem look a lil thin to me. *

leetsys · Aug 20, 2008

I do have a fan blowing on all the plants pretty lightly. Should I not?

to jumpb back in while cheetah;s offline - you want the fan because it helps strengthen the stalks as well as providing fresh air

leetsys · Aug 21, 2008

I stuck another little fan in there just now, have them both on high so the plants are getting some pretty decent airflow.

Keeping a pretty consistent 77-79 degree temp.

leetsys · Aug 23, 2008

19 days old now and still going strong. Temp staying at 77-80 and I have the fans still blowing on them to strengthen the stems/stalks so all is well. Here are 5 pics of how they're looking today. The plants may look a TAD droopy in these due to the fact that I sprayed them down with water right before taking them, so the leaves were being weighed down by the water. I took a close-up of one of the leaves in the 3rd pic, to ask you guys if you think this plant could possibly be sativa? I'm not a pro or anything quite yet but it looks to me like those leaves are pretty spaced apart and they're quite skinny. You can also see this in the 4th pic, the pot in the back.

What do you guys think?

desertrat · Aug 24, 2008

everything looks great so far. kinda looks like indica to me but i don't know for sure. if it ends up 6 ft tall you were right.

leetsys · Aug 31, 2008

Today they are a few days short of being a month old. I'm pretty sure they can be solidly identified as 3 indica, and 1 sativa. Hopefully at least 3 of them turn out to be females when I clone them. Here are some pics.
