Hi alll....
After all the reading on this forum and seeing someone do it in the flesh I thought it was about time I started to get green fingers.....
So I have now decided to start up a grow diary.... I also thought it was better I did this than keep posting questions around the site.
So I think this is how you usually start these diaries....
Area - Budbox small grow tent - 75cm x 75cm x 100cm
Lights - 2 x 125 cfl (2 x blue veg & 2 x red flower)
Extraction - 4" RVK 100 fan and carbon filter
Soil - Canna Terra Professional Plus
Strain - Fem'd WR by GHS
Lights on 18-6 Veg and the 12/12 Flower
Sorry in advance about photo's... I only have camera phone at moment.
Ok so my enviroment was tested for a week prior to the start to check on temps and humidity.... unfortunately I am in a loft/attic so my temps have been quite high.... but I'll get on to that later.....
Pics of set up.... comments always appreciated!!
So 3 seeds were soaked in ph checked water and then put in paper towel... 48 hours later planted into soil....
Pics 1 day after planted
After 5 days in soil and my temps had gone up to 90f+.... I then also had stretch issues. I think this was my fault for not putting them close enough to the light!!
To correct this stretch issue I moved them closer to light (4")...cant understand why I had them so far from the light in the first place but you live and learn and this is a 1st time so... I wont be doing that again.
I also found a cheap fan which blows across a frozen bottle of water (ebay) which has brought my temps down to around 80f now... well pleased with it considering it was cheap.
They also got their first feeding of 1/4 strength plant start....as the pro plus has little to no nutes!!
7days from planting with new supports to help them stand up...
Now after a further 5 days.... I have some healthy looking seedlings.... today I watered again with 1/2 strength plant start and sorted out some new supports (after reading icmag some more)
These are now around 3-4" tall and I'm very happy with how they look... I was a bit worried to begin with them stretching so much but they are now loving the light.
Pic as closing up for the night
Comments are always appreciated!! There are so many people on this site who I'm sure have an opinion so please let me hear it....
If I'm doing something wrong I'd rather know now...
Smoke on??!
