hello! i started my grow with a 1kw HPS hung from a PVC frame in my office...no true ventilation to speak of, my house AC was running 45 minutes an hour with all the vents but the office closed to keep the room at 85ish. obviously, no good...my plants alternatively grew and died, with the older growth dying to accomodate whatever new growth slowly came out. so, i make the ultimate trade with my beloved wife - the office in exchange for my total domination of the master bedroom walk-in closet

so, she got to build to build a cat jungle-gym on the walls of the office, and i got to spend a little more money for ventilation (since i was already 400 in to my 1kw HPS/ballast rig).

i'll skip the early day picss, since those mistakes will never be repeated

here is my currrent grow, one day before i start flowering. it's interesting to note that in my current grow room, the two master kush seedlings have grown more in their 12 days of life than all the other plants did in their first month. just to put a finer point on things

my kush seedlings:

i have in my room a 6" vortex fan drawing air from under the door (fan is up near the light, and also pulls a little heat from the hood), and exhausting in to my attic. no carbon scrubbing yet, not sure what i'm going to need or if i'm going to buy one or build one. but right now, the temp is an even 77 during "daytime", not sure about night but it can't get that cold...

i am feeding them FF GrowBig, and will be buying the FF flowering equivalent this weekend for after their next flush (also due this weekend, i think). this last week, i started adjusting the pH of the distilled water/nute mix down to 6.5 - 6.7ish, and they responded fairly immediately

they're now looking healthier then they ever have.

the two young 'uns are around 12 days old, have a few more sprouting...the rest are well over 2 months old, and i think are as good as they're going to get without more transplanting and more waiting...so i'm fairly committed to flowering them this weekend (but advice is welcomed and humbly accepted, this *is* my first grow

).

i've enjoyed lurking the last few months and seeing everyone's beautiful plants - if i can learn to grow half as good as what i've seen here, i will be very happy (and will then improve as necessary

).

cheers!

ah, that's something i forgot to mention...these are Master Kush as according to "www.amsterdammarijuanaseeds.c om" - not sure who they are, etc. the big plants are just random bagseed...curious to see how they turn out

two days in to flowering, not a whole helluva lotta change other than maybe an inch or so in height and a few more pistily bits waving around like they just don't care

now this is a strange one...is this something i can fix, is fixable, needs fixing, etc?

rawr

the discoloration is through and through, and occurring on some of the new leaves growing on the same branch...seems to be growing just fine in every other respect, so i guess i'll not worry much about it.

so....i suck at updating my grow diary, but my plants are turning out quite well

around 5 weeks in to flowering, i'm left with two flowering master kushes, and four or five of what i'm calling "nothing special" (bagseed of unknown genetics). "nothing special" is actually looking a helluva lot nicer than what i got the seeds from (bricked buds from mexico), and was decent to learn, but i don't see any good reason to reveg any for clones, or start any more from seed...the same or less effort will make a lot more master kushes

on with the pics...first, master kush #1, who sits directly underneath 1kw of light:

here's the largest bud from the right-hand side container of "nothing special":

and one of the larger buds from the left-hand side container of "nothing special":

just a few more weeks...

Looking good really long hairs on that last PIc of "nothing special". Master Kush looks good too i would like hear what you think of the smoke on that one!
Good luck with the grow!
