This is my first diary. This my third run ever and I am starting from seed for the second time. I love doing this but it sucks not being able to keep certain phenos. I do not have the ability to keep clones or mothers at this point in time.

I use a 3x3 tent for flowering and popping seeds. I pop seeds with CFL, Veg with a 400mh and Flower with a 600hps. I have a 4x12 phresh filter pulling through 4inch inline vortex fan. I am popping five (5) Chem D x C99 from ICMag member Mooch775 and also five (5) Querkle.

I'll start off with a little nugporn from my last grow:

Deez x SourKush


Strawberry Cough


Critcal + by Dinafem


NOW! I will move onto my baby pics. All ten (10) seeds are about three days above soil give or take.





The first one to see the light! (Chem x c99)


Querkles


I will be updating as things get interesting. This is my first grow journal so any input is welcome. I will be here to answer questions and to take advice/suggestions. I am new to this but with some help and encouragement from other members I have decided to take the plunge and start the show!

Just switched out the cfl for the 400 mh. It's sitting about 6 inches above the tops of the seedlings. Been about 6 hrs and they seem to be lovin it.

Right on bro, looks like your off to a great start... Everyone is looking good so far, but I'd be careful having that non air cooled hid so close.

Best wishes with your first grow log.

Nice tent choice

Peace

I don't see any ventilation in that tent, other than the door. Is it your plan to leave the tent opened up until some later date when you will add your exhaust system?

looking good bro, some nice frosty buds you got there.

good start, move that light up off of them though, 6 inches is way too close for a hid, esp a 400, esp for seedlings that young... id have it at least a foot above, prob more.... honestly i wouldnt have put the hid on them until they had about 3-4 sets of real leaves, then have it a foot or so above them...

I have a 4inch vortex inline pulling through a 4x12 phresh filter. nothing escapes that beast!


also, when i went down there last night most of them were shooting out white roots. so i quickly put them in solo cups, labeled of course


i will be keeping the seedlings about 12-14 inches below the 400mh. i want them to soak in the sun but i dont want them to stretch too much, which i why i had the HID so close..

either way, business as usual things are looking good though! thanks for following everyone. i plan on keeping a very thorough log with good pics. should produce some KILLA smoke too...nothing like enjoying the fruits of your labors!

oh, and im not currently running the fan right now. its cold in the basement so i am not worried about air cooling..also, i have a little clip on fan moving air around so they are getting plenty of fresh air

flashback to last month when the tent was rocking!

NIIIIIIIIICE..DJ

CAREFUL 6 IN IS REALLY CLOSE...THEY CAN GET LUMEN SHOCK EASILY...IT WILL STUNT THE PHUK OUT OF EM.....
