Hello!
Well im new to this forum and what better way to introduce myself than by starting a grow journal.
Im pretty new to growing, i have only done one previous crop in a converted bedside table. Whilst i was happy with the results i couldnt help think that the 3 months i waited didnt justify the amount of smoke i got. So the only thing i could do was expand!
My grow space
Veg
I have a converted bedside table that i have put 2x pc fans in the back for ventalation and have a 125w cfl + standard cfl bulb for my lighting.
Flowering
For my flowering i have a space that is around 1 meter square and around 5 foot tall. This space will be home to a 400w HPS light.
Plan
I think i have settled on attempting to top all 3 plants allowing me to have 4 coloas on each.There is a small possability that i may use one of the plants for multiple clones that will be planted outside for the summer months.
Soil/Nutes
Trying to get the best out of my plants without burning holes in my pockets. For my soil i decided that i would just use some multi-purpose compost that has JI in it mixed with perlite.
As for my nutes i spent hours and hours searching the net not really getting anywhere. So many people have so many different views on what to use what not to use.Not to sure whether i made the right decision or not but i decided to go for the biobizz range picking up biobizz bloom, biobizz grow, biobizz topmax and biobizz alg-a-mic. found a feeding schedual on that net that i will be following. Heres a pic of the schedual
Seeds
Oredered a variety of seeds from pick n mix. Decide to plant only a few of the ones i ordered and i decided apon
AK-48 - Feminized - Nivanas seeds - indica/sativa hybrid
Vanilla Kush - Feminized - Barneys Farm - indica dominant
Pineapple Chunk - Feminized - Barneys Farm - indica dominant
The Grow Starts
Germination
I Used the tissue paper technique and had 100% results with my 3 seeds, all popped out very quickly over night.
Planting seeds
planted seeds on 26/3/2011 and waited for there arrival to the world
Here we go
Day 1
On the 27/3/2011 to my surprise all plants had broken through the soil. the AK-48 seemed to be bringing up the rear and was slightly behind the other 2 in terms of growth.
Day 3
SO i thought it was time for the camera to come out. the progress seems to be good at this stage faster than me previous/first grow. All look healthy at first look.
AK-48
Vanilla Kush
Pineapple Chunk
Any help advice or suggestions would be much appreciated as i still only a beginner and only going by things on forums that i read. i feel as if im back doing my exams the amount of studying that i have put in over the last month or so but i still feel as if i am at the tip of the ice burg and there is a imense amount more to learn
hopefully i have covered most things, if not im sure someone will pick me up on it
Looking at my plants today and they have doubled in size maybe tripled will try get some more pics up tomorrow.
