My first grow attempt

I name my girlies too!! :sunglasses::wink:

Looks like the transplant went well!!:+1::+1:

All 4 now in tent after tragic events this morning I’m almost positive that I’ve lost stinker her remains are buried in grow room just in case :cry:
Lesson learned cats should not have access to germination they apparently like ball like items that respond to being touched.

Ph kit finally here had to drive an hour and 20 min to get an Amazon order chased driver down 2 cities away but its here. Out of tap direct I’m 6.8 picked up some double strength white vinegar for now ran a few trials on watering containers to get volume and quantity set looks like about 6 ml of the vinegar will drop a 1.5l ph almost 1 full point going to have to really watch it I suspect it will ph rise as vinegar evaporates I will test my samples again in the morning to see if the numbers change overnight

current soil temps using a meat probe to test

I just wanted to share this with you, another LED fixture I made up yesterday for about 15bucks.









The white sockets are 2 bucks each and the black rubber coated are 5 bucks each(i already had 3 rubber sockets) its about 63watts. Nothing crazy but they get the job done decent. Also its much easier to move them as a unit instead of 1 at a time. Hope this gives u some ideas and helps along the way.
This is the 1st one i made but have since added more to it.



Lens are removed from all the bulbs on this one aswell

Awesome project… I ordered 4 of the 7 way splitters from Amazon yesterday they should be here Wednesday next week and will be installed immediately. Will post new pics soon. Will definitely be looking for light components over the next few months as I prepare for my second tent for taking clones

I’ve discovered that dollerama I canada sells 1500 lumen 15 watt led bulbs for $4 each which is about 1/3 of the price other stores here sell them for and they come in both 5000k and 2700k spectrums

Rite on. I get bulbs at home depot, 5000k 860lumen and 2700k 800lumen for $2.50 for 2. Gonna have to check the buck store lol

Home depot here has 2 packs for 14.99 I looked at them and seriously considered but i wanted the highest lumen variety i could find hopefully it results in a decent harvest

They have cheaper ones, i just picked some up yesterday, 2.49 pack of 2bulbs. They usually just an end display and i didnt see them on shelf. But they seem to always have them on sale.
Keep an eye for a display, usually by entrance as u come in with sale stuff

Ppm meter showed up early tested tap water it comes in at 344ppm everyone looking very happy after last nights water will likely add 15 mil tomorrow evening just before lights out

Update: I have placed drip containers below my final grow containers and filled with water as my final grow containers do not yet have drainage holes. Set between the grow containers is my 6 inch 424 cubic meter fan running full speed humidity has nearly doubled and all plants have shown a remarkable improvement today will check again in morning when lights come back on

So I was sitting outside reading up on one of my most interesting topics the growing of my plants when this wonderful lady walks up with another package that I wasnt expecting until Wednesday.

4 of these have just arrived it’s time to tear apart the crummy set up I had and put these bad boys into play

So new light setup active now for about 45 min… other recent changes the grey drip bins under containers full of water with main 6 inch fan blowing air across them at about 1/2 speed
Also an old cell phone plugged in and playing some Bach to the ladies.

Noticeable changes. Today Jane looks to have nearly doubled in size and has gained some height between leaves mary is a little behind because she was a shell head but looks determined to catch up. Pebbles was feeling light neglected as you can see she raised a leaf to catch some more. And stinker well she’s come back from the dead

Yay we have a newborn :grin:

I’m not sure we can call popping a second time new born… the other strange thing is I have what appears to be a second seed popping up in her basket. I’m a lil concerned about the way leaves are lifting towards the lights almost vertically on two of them I’m thinking I’ll have to raise the lights a bit it may be trying to not get so much light. Everyone got a cup of water tonight probably won’t get more for a few days

Ok so after doing some reading I tossed a lux meter on phone checked all my plants the healthier looking ones were in the 100k lux range the one with saw leaves straight up was reading 170k lux I moved light up a bit and dropped it down to high 80ks

Ok so raised all lights up to about 15 inches above all plants started to exhibit similar behavior

Looking good @anon46981397. This leaves pointing to the light is a good thing, as long as ur not burning them. The leaves will go uo like that and settle dwn when they rest or nees water. But things r looking good buddy

I agree everything is looking good. You and I have the same light setup. Purchased my LED’s at the dollar store as well. Keep up the good work.

So legally I Ontario we are allowed to be in public with up to 30 g of dried product. Does this mean I can move my grow into my car and drive it around? Theoretically they are not dried product until after harvesting

I was wondering the same when i had a clone in my cup holder one day lol
Also, 4 plants…is that mature plants, do seedlings count?? Or un rooted clones?? I have been wondering about this also :thinking:.
Not sure im worried about driving around with my plants tho lol
