My First Grow Journal

They are Great. I had some bad seeds I bought from them, it wasn't breed by them it was from Garden of Green which they carry. So I ordered a pack of 5 and got 3 of the same strain free. Because I only had one of the eight germinate they gave me my choice of about 8 different strains to choose from. They replaced the 5 pack + 3 free with two five packs. I was really happy to get two five packs to replace the ones that didn't germinate. Great costumer service they didn't drag their feet about it either, one email and they got back to me with in three days. I will buy from Seedsman anytime I am looking for seeds and they have what I want.

Exactly, Seedsman is great. I've used Gorilla and Oaseeds, they are good too

I have never looked at their site's I do like I Love Growing Marijuana or 420 I have ordered from them they are US based take credit or debit and much faster delivery they also guarantee the shipment to arrive and germinate or they replace them. I will look first on Seedsman and 420 for seeds. If they don't have what I want I then look elsewhere but both great companies to buy from

Hey that reflexive material on your dirt is that for lights or to help keep bugs down?

I have had zero bug problems and will hopefully continue like this, not even a single gnat! Could be my organic soil though...

The covers are for reflection but I have found they retain alot more moisture in the fabric pots. I also have white, fuzzy roots growing under the foil right on the surface of the soil. Roots also growing like crazy from the bottoms of the fabric pots.
I need to find some barley straw for my soil cover next time.

QB's belong HIGH, there is no need to lower and raise them.

I don't see the logic in this, I run cobs and a QB style Mars board at full output, and at 18 inches both give about 30,000 lux on my analog light meter. For comparison, my meter reads 95,000 lux aimed at the sun on a June afternoon. At 4 feet away its down to under 6,000 lux on the Mars QB and intensity equals growth as I understand it? I see a lot of pix on this site with untipped plants under dim light by choice, and it seems to me like they could really up their production just by changing techniques, i.e lowering lights, tipping the plants, walling in the grow with reflectors etc. Here's my grow with two plants under bright lites (45 watts a sq. foot) and it took just a bit of tipping/training to get them to table out. The light was 18 inches away from the start. They plants are now 5 feet from the floor.

@Spark's 420 hey you grow with that light did you have both switches on in early vegs

Hey brother, I wouldn't have both switches ON in veg, great combo setup with the other lights dude, looks great!
Just on more thing, I would make sure not to get your lights too close to your plants until they get a little bigger. Are you about 18inches now? Maybe I need to put my glasses on..lol.

 

[Stltoed]

Just curious... why wouldnt you run both switches on?

Plants are looking better, better lights setup you have going on. That was my experience with that light. You might be a pro with it. So keep killing it bro.

So you think them bottom leaves are ok. I dont like them curling down like that.

And thanks I thought that would be a better set up

I wouldn’t worry too much about the leaves clawing down. What’s your night temps? If it’s cold that might be the problem. I feel like you would have benefited from a smaller pot too.
If your in us you should check out us seedbanks get seeds in 2 or 3 days

they do go to sleep 24hr light so temp stays the same around 76 to 81

The problem is my dirt has everything in it and if I start adding stuff it's going to be to much. I'm using COAST OF MAIN its really good dirt and dont really need to do anything but water them.

Hi Fast...
here's the thing about that soil. It needs food. The smaller the pot the sooner it needs the food. It's also uses time released ferts which most growers try and stay away from. Cannabis needs to have nutrients available as soon as it demands it. Your soil releases these ferts under certain conditions and then your plant may not want what it's getting, or worse not getting what it wants.
Here's an image on their recommended feed schedule to their organic mix.

My opinion is your plant is not getting what it needs anymore.

 

[Fastass419]

Ok its only been in the dirt for 6 days. Thanks for that info. Ya I think I'm going with PH neutral dirt for my seed. Maybe fox farms not sure but was thinking of changing the dirt I use. What y'all think
