Hey everyone
This is my first grow ever!! i dont want to have to go to drug dealers and overpay for dirty hash and shitty buds, so I thought I would just grow my own.....thanks to this site and its members I now have the knowledge to do it as well!! thanks all.

Im growing feminised NorthernLights from White label and some freebie SeriousSeeds Bubblegum given to me buy a friend.
Ill be growing in a soil/perlite/vermiculite mix using HESI nutrients.

Soaked seeds in water and used papertowel method, four of each and all popped. The NL were showing tales within 24hours but the BG took a few days, still i was not expecting too much from the BG as the guy who gave them to me wasnt too optimistic....so bonus.

Ive got the little darlings sitting under a 125watt Ecolite 6400k at the moment and will change over to the 400w HPS in a few days once the littlest ones are on their "feet" so to speak........
and now the pics.


here are the NL at about 5 or 6 days from when i germed them


and then at 8days

Well they are at day 11 now and a couplpe of the NL have twisted leaves, one NL hasnt really progressed and its leaves are yellowing and the other NL has just stopped growing but looks healthy. i think i overwatered a bit.....I wonder if they will ever survive my overloving...... the bubblegum all seem to be doing well though they are a bit light in colour tho......had to top up the soil on the NL's abit. could see the top third of the jiffy pot stickin out.
i think i might put them into a bit bigger pots in a couple of days....does it matter if i do it on the same day as i change the light to hps or should i do it after/before?

change the pot the day they need watering, because they need "watering in" to the new pot. i usually wet the small pot a little first because that way the soil sticks together when pulling it out then transfer it to the new soil, compress it a LITTLE. and then water well in. it doesnt matter about lighting, just make sure you dont put them to close to he light too soon.... i cant give youy a definitve value tho because i dont use a 400W.
this chart may help tho........

Hey NG thanks again for the help bro, i took your advice and watering abit before hand helped alot.....

I transfered the plants last night so its over and done with and I should be able to just leave them grow into their new homes for a while now....a couple of them didnt really need to be put into bigger pots but I transplpanted them anyway......all the Bubblegum are going really well, I'm very impressed with their uniform growth. The Northern Lights from white label on the other hand im not too impressed with so far. Although they popped first, two of the four arent doin too great... they have all recieved the same treatment but they just never really took off....considering how much i payed for the seeds i hope the others fair a bit better....

first NL is a real runt but i think it'll get there sooner or later..

and this other NL has just stopped growing after the first two set of leaves, it looks real healthy but is just frozen in time...lol

and a group shot

Heres my two little favourites - NL's

and this BG I topped, I know most of you probably say its too early but after reading GMT's how-too's and seeing how young he does it I thought I'd just give it a try.....

yeh GMT knows his stuff..... got a good trifoliate line going aswell.
the NL might have "stopped" growing because they dont have sufficient root-space, it may not even look like it either, but an increase in pot-size (within reason) is always a good helper....

hooray for mrgrowmez !!!! many blessings, hidingtree.

[mrgrowmez]

Hey hidingtree whats up man, thanks for stopping by!!! hopefully things will get a bit more interesting soo as they get older so stay in touch bro...
NG2K - yea man the runty ones have started growing after a couple of days in their new pots!!!! well the smallest one has anyway and the other one that had kind of frozen in time is doing something, i dont know what though, hehehe i think its trying to makes its mind up - grow or die.....

they are all looking good now and im trying to figure out the new watering shedule for the new sized pots, it's so much better then when were in the yoghurt containers i had to water all the time but now its been three days and they're still not thirsty, the pots are getting lighter but I think they'll be okay till tomorrow..............

peace
