 Starting a grow log - first time *update 1/27* 
#149686 - 11/23/08 11:36 AM (16 years, 4 months ago) |

So this is my first time growing and i decided to start a log
First of all i want to apologize for the crappy picture quality, i don't have a camera so i have to take them with my webcam
The strains i got are Northern Lights Special and Haze Special from KC brains, ordered through sensibleseeds, got here 2 weeks after order
Soil: 50% peat moss, 30% perlite, 20% compost, a little bit of vermiculite, and dolomite lime to correct the pH.
Light: 2 T12 fluorescent shop lights, for a total of 160 watts right now, 2 of the bulbs are daylight 6500k and 2 are warm white 2700k, I'll probably get one more of them soon, but right now i think it's sufficient, i also have a couple of 26w cfls that i'll put in there to give them some side lighting, but right now i'm using them for something else.
Germination: Seeds were germinated in paper towels in the dark, and as soon as they started showing roots placed in plastic cups filled with soil and about 1 inch of fermiculite on top, hydrated with water with a little bit of oxygen plus plant food to help roots develop.
The northern lights germinated great, all 10 popped within 4-5 days and sprouted 2 days after planting (one failed to sprout for some reason). The haze didn't do so well, two of the seeds were crushed in mail, and out of the 8 remaining i only got one plant, a few other seeds seemed to pop but didn't grow, so i'm really hoping the one i have is female so i can clone the shit out of it.
Noob: so like a true noob that i am i already hurt the plants by being an idiot and giving them some fertilizer, don't know why i did it but they seemed to be fine until two days later i decided to seal up all the holes in the closet so i could give them some co2, and the when i checked them the next morning, temperature shot up to 90+ even with fluorescent lights and the leaves started curling upwards, so i unsealed the tapes and moved them away from the lights, and next day i flushed the soil (I'm thinking they were both heat stressed and nute burned), this was less than a week ago - now the plants seem to have recovered and new growth is looking good, i probably slowed down the growth about 3 days and damaged a few of the leaves which have now turned partially crispy yellow/brown, but new growth is looking good.
anyway here are a couple of pics:
These are 4 of the biggest NLS plants at about 2 weeks after planting the germinated seeds:
I got three more of them that are almost at the same level, and two more that are still small because they germinated/sprouted the latest.
and here is my lone haze special (plz be female)
it's less than a week old, seed took like a week to germinate
funny thing about this plant is it's growing kinda weird, the NLS all grew nice and proper, giving leaves in sequence of 2 and 4 and in proper directions, but this one is pushing out like 6 leaves at once and they are growing in like diagonal directions from each other ...lol

Ok here's the update:
they've been doing pretty damn awesome since the repot, two of NL freaked out a bit seems like a little nute burned, you can see one of them in the bottom left corner there, the other one is too miserable to show right now, it's one of the smaller NL's, i flushed it today hopefully itll get better
here's the tallest and healthiest looking NL, it's about 7 inches tall right now at 3 weeks after sprouting (which is how old most of the plants are)
And this is the haze plant at two weeks since sprouting
i'll probably veg most of the NL for another 1-2 weeks, and the haze plant along with a couple of the small NLs will be vegging a bit longer

aight here's the new update
they've grown quite a bit, alternating nodes starting to appear, can't really tell the sex yet tho, i'll probably give them another week or less of veg and then start flowering
here's the tallest plant 4 weeks old, it's 14 inches tall now, but not as bushy as some of the others, it seems to want to grow more than branch to the sides, i tried hooking it but it just curved around and up lol, so i'll let it grow up since it wants too, my height isn't that limited
here some of the other plants, they are about 10 inches tall but have more side branching
here's the haze plant 3 weeks old
and here's a pic of my setup: plants are in 2 rows, a shop light hangs above each row, and a third shop light hangs upside down inbetween the two
when i start flowering i will get one more shop light and put the plants in the middle between the lights

Update time
week 5
I separated the plants now to start flowering 6 of the biggest NL plants and give the haze along with 2 smaller NL plants and the NL that nearly died (still not looking too hot) some more veg time.
4 of the big NL plants have been sexed already, one was male, three were female, interestingly enough the females turned out to be the 3 biggest plants, and the male was the smallest one out of the six lol, which is surprising because i always hear of the biggest plants turning out to be male.
anyhow here are pics
here's the male that went chop chop, can't tell that well from the pics but there are definite balls there, made some iso has oil, which looked more like resin lol, but it got me high for like 2 days, which is cool cause i've been sober for way too long. 
here's the pic of the setup with the 5 remaining plants
i repotted 4 of them into 2 gal pots, that's probably what i'll be sticking with due to space restrictions even though they will outgrow these pretty soon too. If i end up with only a few plants in there, then ill probably transfer them into 3 gal pots.
group shot of the 5 plants about to start flowering, 5 weeks old now
Three definite females 
tallest female, about 20 inches tall now!
here's the other 4 plants still vegging, under 2 26w cfl's
haze 4 weeks old
and here are the other two NL plants that are still sorta small, first one is about 9 inches tall, second is even smaller

The bulbs i'm using are 4' T12, i vegged mostly under 2 daylight and 2 soft white ones, i'm not using a HID for flowering, i added 4 more soft white tubes, so now they are under a total of 320w, and like 28k lumens. I positioned the lights so every part of the plant gets light, should be enough for my 3 ladies, we'll see how it works out.
Anyway they are now 7 weeks old (2 weeks into flowering), buds starting to form, some of the bottom fan leaves are yellowing but that's normal right? I transplanted them again, tallest one into a 4 gal pot, and the other two into 3 gal pots and fed them with an earthjuice grow/earthjuice bloom/molasses solution yesterday and i might have a bit of a nute burn going on, so i might flush tomorrow.
well time for some pics:
group shots:
tallest lady over 3 ft now:
second tallest, 2.5 ft:
shortest, 2 ft, but bushier:
and here's the start of buds:
guess its about 6 weeks to harvest, can't wait

well it looks like i'll be able to finish this grow so i thought id post an update, they are 6 weeks into flowering, probably 2-3 weeks from harvest, most of the fan leaves have yellowed, the buds aren't that big but they are dank looking.
This first plant has some sort of deficiency or something that I can't figure out, top leaves have crisped up and buds are smaller and less crystally than the other two plants, i'll probably let it go longer than the other two before harvesting. I tried flushing like 5 days ago, that didn't work, so i gave it a light solution of microblast nutes with a little bit of epsom salts, hopefully that helps cause i have no idea what's wrong with it.
This plant is doing good, the buds smelled like garbage on this one...no mold or anything just a garbage smell lol... now they smell a little differently but still with a hint of garbage lol.
This third plant has been kicking ass all along, and the buds on it look amazing, so crystally i don't think I've ever had bud with so many crystals on it. Smells dank and a little sweet.
Next update will be harvest pics.
