First grow! CFL Closet Project - TroublexWW(Pro Picture Update 4/8)
    #381871 - 03/11/10 11:57 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

Disclaimer : My friend uses my computer and posts a lot of bullshit on random websites, this is an act of his doing. Not mine. I don't even exist, nor do I know what "Marijuana" is, what is it?


Ok so I finally got my closet set up and got pots and all that. Still need temp meters and a fan, that will come next friday.

Currently I have 6, 27 watt CFL's on a strip, totaling 158 total watts (Which I know is not enough for three plants) which I will double or 2.5 by next friday.

Three AK47 x Diesel Autoflowering seeds are currently germinating, and I have some "plantable pots" ready for when they are ready to sprout roots.

Heres a few pictures of my closet for now




Didn't finish foiling the box before I took that last picture, thinking about just getting mylar instead of using foil. Foil will do for now.


***UPDATE*** 3/11/2010

Planted three seeds into Sphagnum Peat Moss and Worm Casting soil. Gave it a little watter and WHOO!! How long does it usually take to see little green action coming out of the soil?




***UPDATE*** 3/15
Five of my White Widow x Troublemaker seeds popped open this morning. Planted them in soil and watered. Lets see what happens!

***UPDATE*** 3/17
One ak47 seed and one Troublemaker x White Widow seed have finally popped out of the ground. I currently have three 26watt CFL's on 24/7. Is this bad? Or no?

***UPDATE*** 3/18
Two more seeds have sprouted. I am SO excited! Other two seeds have opened up their leaves as well. Made some humi domes for em. Can't wait to get back from work to see how they are doing :laugh:

***UPDATE***3/19
So I went to the hydro store today and bought some Mylar film even though I have seen a lot of people on here talking down about it. Lined my little box up with it and WOW! Looks amazing. All the sprouts are now at about 2 inches tall now. Also picked up a bottle of Grow Big and mixed 1/2 tsp/gallon and dunked all my seedlings (which are in jiffy pots) into it.

Also, none of my AK47xDiesel seeds ended up sprouting :[ Sorry Kapt...I didn't do good with them, but the TWxWW are doing fantastic!

***UPDATE***4/2
So I bought two big clones that are already in flowering stage. I definitely think I need to buy more lights for these pups....I think they are Super Lemon Haze perhaps? The dude said it was a lemon strain. Anyways, horrible quality cause i took them with my roommates phone. Also, two pictures of my two little baby plants.

Full Closet


Norman


Jerry


Another shot of my new big mommas


***UPDATE***4/9 PICS!

Both babies under the lights


Jerry


Norman


Planning on upping their dosage of nutrients from 1/2 tbsp to 3/4 tbsp/gal (Thanks Diesel) and transplanting them probably when they get to their 6-7 node. I can already see roots popping out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. I have them under 5 26w cfl's 24/7. They seem to like it.

Let me know what you think! Thanks

***UPDATE***4/16  1 month. 2 days
Huge picture update. Finally got my d40 out of pawn ;] Temperature is stable at around 74 degrees 24/7. Have the lights on 24/7 with a fan on inside the closet. To provide fresh air I open and close the doors every thirty minutes. Humidity is 40 percent. Not sure what the PH of my soil is because I keep forgetting to buy PH test strips. Umm...what else. Norman is hungry for some nutes, which he (hopefully, really, a she :wink: tomorrow. Now that I added the two 55watt bulbs I have a total of 266 watts. I will most likely add two more 55w bulbs in a couple weeks.
Oh....and Denise Richards is fuckin bangin!

First up...the lights. I just added those two massive 55w CFL's today. LOVIN IT!


Now for my babies.
Here is Jerry


Here is Norman


And here are the flowering plants that I took off a friends hands.


**UPDATE***May 1st - Day 46 of veg? I think? I think my plants should be bigger than this but oh well.

Taken on my phone, cause my camera is en route to washington





My LST Rigging






HEADIE PICTURE UPDATE! HIGH QUALITY. Update - 4/8/2010

Warning - I got mad arsty with the editing and the angles. Maybe some POTM noms noms? ;]













Nute Burn :[

Yeah the disclaimer is meant to be confusing. If it confused you then its working hahahaha.

But yeah, I currently have five seeds soaking in a cup, and three seeds in paper towl on a plate inside of a bag.

I just want them to POP already! I am going to put some soil into these
http://www.rona.ca/img/product/small/2009768.jpg

And then I should poke a small hole in the soil and put the seed in there, then cover it back up with soil right?

Ok so I could just plant the seeds dry and not have to wait for the Radicle to sprout out?!

Ok and heres another thing. I have some Sphagnum Peat Moss and Worm Castings soil. A friend of mine that used to grow said he never even heard of perlite and it would be fine for me to just mix up the soil and plant the seed into it.

So are you saying I should turn the lights off immediately until I see them sprout? And leave them off?

haha word. What's the air temp like in there?




Not 100 percent sure but the house heat has been left on 75-F for the past week.


And I know I should have a thermo in there, couldn't afford one at this point in time. I figured it would be ok until next week at least as long as the house temp doesn't undergo any serious changes

Question : Would it be more beneficial for my plants at an early stage if I just bought 6 more 27 watt CFL's or just two or three 42 watt CFL's"

OR! One of those 40 dollar big ass coil CFL things?

Ok so two seeds are sprouted above soil now. Running three 26w CFL's 24/7.

Is this too much light?


Waiting on 4 others to sprout, which should happen very soon, and this morning two more seeds popped open so I planted them in soil and watered.

WAIT NO NO NO! I am using GROW BIG! My bad hahaha. But yeah I fill up a cup with nutrient enriched water, take the jiffy pot and dunk it down in there.

Seems to be working perfect. The dunk method, for watering :]

:eek: Whoa dude!..............:lol: ..You make me laugh Mr. Silly...

So Grow Big huh? Does that make the seed like super ready for growing once it sprouts?

Sounds pretty cool
~ TrueHerbCrystal ~




Well its for vegitative stages of growth. On the bottle it said 1/2 tsp per gallon for seedlings, which is the stage my babies are in right now. So I suppose by the time they are in full veg they will be growing super duper strong. When full veg comes around in a week or so, I am going to add one more half tsp to the gallon and start feeding them regular dosage of nutes.

SO FACKING STOKED! Dude I wish we could just visit each other and help out with each others shit hahaha. Same goes with everyone else on this website. I love this place!

Ok so for a while my plants were getting yellow and droopy and not looking like they were going to make it.

Well I finally got a fan setup to get some air flow in there and turned off two of the lights, also watered them with some Grow Big fertilized water (1/2 tsp) and in the passed three days since watering they are looking better! Still a little yellow and the tips on one plant look like they have been burned with a lighter or something.

Should I cut those tips off? I will have my camera back on friday will post pictures then.

I am going to try and post some pics soon for sure. They are growing so fucking fast!

One plant seems a little droopy though, again. Today is watering day...maybe I should leave that one alone for another day or two before I water?
