My first organic grow.

[COconnect]

Hello everyone! First of all I'd just like to say to everyone that I'm thankful for the time and effort put in by everyone, so much info to soak up.

Thanks to B1 and all the helpful guys on the beginners sticky I'm going to jump in head first.

Thanks to some other awesome friends(whom with I'll hopefully start a full scale hydro with later this year), I had a chance to go to California for trim season and took back quite a bit of excellent genetics. Green crack, master kush, blue dream, tahoe OG, and then a random bag 'o beans.

Starting with the LC's #2 and the dry goodies+ LK, and the green crack(5). Just to get a feel. I have 4 t5 blues over them.

Popped 4/5 of the seeds, will give them another hour or so then into LC's #2.

Will do my best to update often, for you guys as well as my own purposes.
THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!!!!

[Edit] the last lil (hopefully) girl cracked and showed a tiny tail so in she goes.

Thanks again a million times over!!!

P.S burn one, I'm about 170 pages into the sticky. Your patience is the stuff of legend.

LOL @ the liquid karma suggested feeding schedule. Could be the dabs but made me chuckle.

:Alllllright guys so to liven up a boring thread, I got bored and messed with a single msk I planted... it germed slowly and after it hit the cup I saw no signs of life... I know, I know. Shame on me, I dug a little bit and we all know what'll happen when you do that. Pulled a tiny seed up out of the dirt with root intact. Freaked out and buried it.

A day and a half later here we are.. a testament to the will of this plant. Can someone lend some knowledge on how this small Master kush will fare?

Oh yeah....

Just grow!!!! Use half strength nutes. You'll do fine. Use 18 hrs. now...when turning light regimen....keep @ 13 hrs.

 

[COconnect]

No nutes, just water while the rest get the occasional EWC tea. happy plants. As far as the room I have all my supplies, will be building a 6/7/7 tent. Bought a ridiculous amount of pvc, joints(ha,) and panda paper. Anyone have ideas for flooring on top of carpet? Was just going to buy some cheap vinyl sheets. Tent up tomorrow and ventilation and all will be good.

That seed tripped me out for sure.

 

[bigshrimp]

good luck with your first grow!

check out pond liner for keeping your carpet in good shape.

 

[COconnect]

Pond liner.huh? We shall see what the home despot has to offer. Its like a candy store for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Some happy seedling stretch

----updates.

Got the tent up, mainly to keep me busy. 5x5x7. Panda paper and 1/2'' PVC. kind of ghetto rigged because I will be moving in the next few months, but it will be for flowering at the new spot, even got it approved by the s/o. 5 GC seeds growing nicely, until I find today they are all showing a twisting pattern on the first set of leaves.. hmm..

One has grown so much I have 2 roots poking out of the holes in the bottom of my cup.. jeeze, I certainly wasn't expecting that! Double cupped that bad girl and gave all some EWC tea.

Will be adding some humidity soon, I think the dry temp is causing the twisting... grrrrr. Anyways in OTHER news!

received some F1's from a good outdoor friend. OJ kush, big bud, cookie dough, GDP and I believe hashplant. I feel very fortunate I get the chance to kill these green crack bagseeds(of which I have pleeeenty) first before going big-time.


/any ideas about the twisting?

Happens to me all the time when my seedling mix is a hair to rich. They will grow out of it just fine.

Whew. A sigh of relief. Excellent to hear.

And thanks senor bat!
Done a few minor grows with chemicals, never was a big fan. This definitely seems to be more my bag, baby. Ha.

Thanks guys!!!!

I've grown in a carpeted room and placed my containers in a kiddie pool. I raised my containers a few inches to keep them out of the drain water, can't remember what I used to raise them though.
