Dooski's First Grow - Unknown Strain - 2012

[rdooski3]

Well I always wanted to grow my own and finally decided to give it a shot. Cost was my main concern so I wanted to start with a small soil/cfl setup with some bagseed. After the last two weeks of doing alot of reading on here I've decided to go bigger and do a hydro setup with some good seeds but we will get to that later. I planted the seeds on 7/1 and they popped through the dirt on 7/4. I've been running them on 18/6 and at the moment and I'm only using two 32w 65k cfl's(soon to be more). For the time being this is being done inside of an old speaker enclosure. After they get a little bit bigger I'm going to put them in something bigger and lst/scrog them. I gave them their first nutrients 2 days ago (rootbastic) and they seemed to love it, I also fimmed them yesterday. The last pic is a few days old. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated as this is my first time. Thanks for all of your inspiration!

Pics from today, 1 day after my first attempt at fimming. What do you guys think did I fail? I don't think I cut enough off initially.

I just wanted to say good luck!!! I have no wisdom to offer I am afraid as am about to start my own first ever grow, but wanted to give some moral support!

Just a few pics of the progress. I received a 100w Sungod Komee cfl in the mail and will be getting another soon and installing them both. They seem to be doing fine (health wise) with the small amount (52w atm) of light they are receiving although they do seem small for their age compared to others. I also started to lst them today.

Just a little update and a few pics. Is it me or does it look like there are some pistils showing in the pics of the tops?

Pic from today. Lst seems to have helped the undergrowth a little.

Possible pistils?

Man its been awhile since I updated. Im surprised I didnt kill them. I left them in the half gallon clear pots and crappy soil until 8/18. I did however put them under 2 100w cfl's shortly after the last update. On 8/18 I transplanted them into 3 gallon black pots with some MG potting soil, switched them over to 12/12 with a 400w hps, and started feeding them proper ph'd water. After a couple days they started to look alot better. Before the leaves were turning yellow and dying from the bottom up and I had lost the bottom 3-4 sets of fan leaves on all of them. They look alot better now and are shaped like upside down christmas tree's lol. Also I started giving them some bloombastic which they seemed to like. Hopefully they will show some signs of sex within the next week.
