So well where to begin first with a hello high you doing? I'm new to the whole forums thingy right along side of of every other thing like growing and ...........yeah them two things lol. Well I have done lots of weeks of reading and forum trolling to finally decide I'm doing this shit brah ! So here we are I'm all ready a month and a week in today !
I germinated my girls a couple days after thanksgiving and they sprouted on December 1! My wife's birthday might I add .
They where germinated with the wet paper towel method in a dark place . The seed sadly to say since I'm not able to get any is bag seeds from some good stuff.I'm almost sure these are hermy plans seeing as the seeds where the only seeds in the whole 1/4 pound I got of diamond Kush. That what they called it!but hey females for sure from what I'm reading ? Just watch for the male parts and hope for the best.
There

There where 3 of them in the beginning and got ride of one due to lack of size during first couple weeks ! I had stated them in a jiffy pellet then moved to a rock wool cube but after I cut the little net from around the pellet. No roots where present at the time
The first little home was a mini bus tub with a couple of blue air stone strips and sum tap water bubbling. The water was just to a little above the bottom of the rock wool . The air stones where actually flipped upside down and I had the cubes on the top of the plastic bottom of the stones. I'll put a picture of it up soon .
So I had my plants in just the rock wool cubes for almost 3 weeks with feedings of a couple liters out of a gallon I mixed.the newts where from a friend tecnaflora I think just get me started .I was to broke to get my stuff for he dwc I wanted to do so my lady's suffered. Finally on the 27 of dec I go tall my shit panda film buckets and air pumps built my ghetto closet room ext....transplanted and here I am today .

So to get them to where I'm at now I transplanted them to ro water ph to 6.0 with sum bc grow bloom micro and some magical. Each bucket was filled up to the bottom of the net pot like 3.5 gal I think Ppm was like 530 on each bucket looked like I stunt my growth had sum tip burn age and some weird deformities in the leafed blades purple in steams . Added a lil magical and ph down to 5.8 no res change yet . Some time today when the led arrives super UFO 225 watt 1 of 2 can't wait so I'm thinking I want to use gh nutrients and go with the Lucas formula what do you guys think ? Can I switch with one feeding in with bc? I plan on moving to bigger res for flowering . My room is in need of better ventilation money is a factor can't wait for sum tax money.
 
personally what i would do while waiting for the ufo is.
1# top them that way when it arrives there will already be new growth.
2# chop of the bottom 2 nodes so when flowering kicks in proper you wont have to many popcorn buds.
3# build 2 basic scrog nets that can be handled easily making watering pruning easier.
4#sit back and watch em grow.
they are very health plants you are clearly doing an amazing job for a first timer. keep it up:) just remember to have fun this is a practise run for you come second time you will be alot more knowledgeable with what your growing and what to look for. namaste.

Thanks for the advice I did top them both all ready so the bottom nodes are the branches that come out. With little leaves should I take any fan leaves off?
 
personally i wouldnt take off any of the fan leaves just yet they aid in plant growth.
later in the grow you might want to take the bottom 2 sets off depending on bud growth.
dont take my word for gospel thought have a look around the forums and ask some veterans:D
 
Fan leaves are like solar panels are to the space station! Leave then on!...only prune them when the fan leaves are dying or blocking light from nurturing other plants or buds.
 
Many here like to start the ph low...5.4.. And then let it rise naturally. I personally preffere to keep it at 6ph during veg...I don't use GH Lucas but have witnessed great results with it.

Your plants look healthy....keep it happening!
 
Nice. I used a similar formula to Lucas but never dropped ph that low. 5.5-6.1 would be my drift. But after a day or 2 it stabilized at 5.8
Though I run ebb n not dwc.
