First grow, 12 powerfull cfls, soil. ANY help will be GRATLY apreciated
    #579235 - 08/18/11 04:22 PM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Hello, all!
3 weeks ago I started my 1st grow. Im using a "special" potting mix...1pt mirricle grow; 1pt vermiculite; 1pt. Perlite; 2pt Scott potting soil. I had to do this as I was gathering supplys for a pro soil formula (mo pro then me at least), which listed all of the above, except with worm castings instead of miricle grow. Also, I added half a handfull of dolomite lime for 1sq ft. of mix.
For lights I currently have a 42 watt (200 equivalent) cfl for each of my 3 week old plants. Tommorow I will have a total of 440watts (8 42 watters, 4 26 watters). My grow room is 4ft by 2ft.
I am using MG grow food ONLY because idk any good nutes...
I water when the first layer of soil dries.
I will upload LOTS of pics, if I see that ppl actually read this <.<

suggestions? Criticism? PLEEEEEEEASE. I also have a bunch of questions for soil pros

Ok heres the picks from just now:)
I had to threw 2 out (males), so now its 2 sour, and an unknown seedling, but I have more germinating which is why I did not set up the lights compleatly.

24 hours later (right after installing the all new Dimotech Ghetto CFL Fixture 2.0¡...i knew woodshop would get paid off sooner or later xD)





Now theres a total of 25800 lumens in my 4 x 2; 3225 lumens per sq. Ft... is that good enouph? Im going to have a total of 34800 in about a week, but idk if ill upgrade again untill flowering.
Also, im keeping the lights a little further away now, because I have a half_ass wooden hood, and am using Y sockets so the light would not be coming from above the tops.......this got me thinking and....wouldnt that make the plant generate new tips, without stress? Or is it stress.
Ok I finally confused myself; carry on...
Thanks in advance

Im starting to worry about ventilation, in the pic u can see I put a tower fan flat on the floor to draw air in....but theres no hole in the door, so its just coming from that little crack on the bottom. Im using the top shelf of the closet to incubate some shroomies, so I can use the heat for now(also first grow). But I have no idea what im going to do later on.

wow those look fantastic. Noone on shroomery answers my threads....sooo can I get 2 Q's? o.o
dont answer if its a bother...really. 1. I injected too much spore solution in some of the jars (original pf tek formula), is it possible I od'd on spores, or messed too much with the moisture content?
2. Is it true that potency is much greater in poo-grown over brf/wbs? This is for personal use (well including like 5 other people. We all tripped for first time recently and cant get any more) so potent cy>quantity.

P.S. I have another 2 syringes left, definitely trying that tec. I see you used the uuuh makeshift-closet-thingamajig fruit. Chamber tek...i stocked up on perlite tho so its Tupperware for me.

Magash, that tek may not be porn related, but the pics of the mushies gave me a hard on....>.<

One question though, is it OK to use only perlite in the fruiting chamber used in the tek?
Thanks for all the help!

Btw, I don't know much about spores, and mine were white (is that normal for golden teachers?), but those syringes look more packed w/ spores then mario 2 lol

Here, i dont think you will see it tho. Inside there are white flake-like particles. They swen partially see-through too. And if your theory would enable them to colonize faster, then (sadly) you are mistaken. Today is day 5 (4 full days past) and no sign of a colony on any of the 16....

Aaaaaw I am fucked...and ya I was talking about roots. But I put foil around them days ago, I noticed this today, before I was about to repot. The green is concentrated at tops of the pots (except the little seedling), so ill just try to kinda...u know...scrape-n-scratch it off. Or is there something that I need to add to the soil/water. I will research asap, but will check back a lot...im scared lol

Thanks! And (not really a surprise) you were right, its algae and its stuck to the container, not the soil or roots.
Even though I'd really love for u too be right about the spores too, but the thing is, its been 4 full days since inoculation, and no signs of growth..how long would the mycelium survive in the syringe?

Wow 9 days..did you use your tek (the one you showed me) for it? And I have 2 more syringes that are the same way, I guess if I see growth on the brf, ill inoc. Grain. I already have all the materials except the grain itself. Do you think its a good idea to buy organic grains and mix them, or just get the home depo stuff? And there is no watter on the bottom of the jars, just sweating where I poked it.

Thanks for giving me some hope.
About to transplant and post pics. Btw does it make sence to train autos?

To clarify, by "does it make sense to train autos?" I mean does it make sense to do it if I am going to swich them to 2700k "soft white" bulbs in about a week to make room for the 5 auto-fem ak 48's. Also is 420 watts of cfl reasonable for a 2x2 space?
Im doing this from my phone (paranoid about ip), so typing is difficult and kinda confusing. Sorry

Ok, the only reason I even started with cfl is because the only way for me to get HID is through the internet. I heard of people using security lights, but they are nowhere near the right spectrum...right? Or is there a safe (privacy-wise) site to order them? I mean i'm sure there is, but I have no way of knowing for sure because they all say that.
Here are my best attempts to take a clear pic of the jar that got the most spore solution. If you can see, theres actually a void where it was inoc., and sweating all around that spot. In this jar, I can see  that the substrate is more wet at the bottom. Not enouph to form water drops or puddles, but clearly more wet. I just want to know if the other syringes are viable. If you could recomend a trustworthy place to order them, that would be great too. I ordrered these from sporeworks.

Cant keep writing on my phone after posting pics...n.e.way, all the green algae came off the containers, I watered after repoting, so 1 morr and on to foxfarm nutes. Btw
that ak48 nug says it all....all my hopes and dreams lmao.
Also I think a phone is only traceable is gps is enabled. Even though you DEFFINETLY make a valid point when you say they'd go after you first lol.
