First grow help! *Pictures*

[Doug_Marsh]

So I decided to start my first grow. I planted 5 seeds all in which popped out of the soil on Nov 1st. # seeds where fem'd A.M.S from green house and 2 where dank indica bag seeds my friend gave me.I started watering them with tap and when I found out a few days later that it was at 8.0 ph I decided to ask my buddy if I could fill a fw gallons with his reverse osmosis water which is at about 6.0 ph. Well he moved 3 days ago and I had to go back to the tap water but I am now noticing brow spots as showen in the A.M.S picture but it now 2 more have these spots and they are at the tips of the leaves. I am running a 250w DIY(from this web site thanks!)cool tube. The air is being sucked threw the end of the tube that is free in the room and out the top of my closet with a 265 dayton blower. They are currently on 18/6 and planted in drinking cups with just fox farm soil. I will be replanting them with perlite fox farm and castings. I plan to use advanced nutes grow, bloom, liquid karma help on this would be awesome! My closet is 2.7x2.7x4.6 I used liquid karma once 3 days before the pics where taken but only once and 1/4 strength and I know this was a mistake is this maybe causing the brown spots? Any help or criticism on my plants and room is appreciated! I am also smoking down on this jackie-o my friend grew and it is a fantastic medicine I wish I could share it with all of you!

You need to have 2 posts to put up pictures. Post one more time and you should be good.

Edit: Hahaha you could have just replied. You didn't have to make a new thread.

I got it to work thanks to you!

The plants look good. I wouldn't worry about feeding them anything for the first few weeks. Just keep them watered and let the soil do it's work. We have since moved on to Fox Farm products and the results are awesome, you will love that soil. The soil looks kind of low in some of your cups, any reason you planted so low?

Check out our first grow thread, get some ideas maybe. http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=72511

I was not really sure how much I should of filled them, do you think I should add soil?

 

[greendream69]

yea the browning on the tips is def from the nuteing as ole gravy legs said just wait a couple weeks until they really start veging and not just seedlings

 

[Doug_Marsh]

You think they will be ok? What can I do to help them?

 

[dj digigrow]

try flushing them with plain water... and no nutes for a week or so.. try some superthrive on em if you'd like... good for strong roots...

 

[greendream69]

yea they should be fine i wouldn't flush them there not burnt that bad. just remember that seedlings are very fragile

Hey doug

Looking good so far, Try to get yourself a reflector hood to direct the maximum light to the plants

Good luck with the grow bro.

PEACE

So today I bought a humi-dome because my humidity is very low and I had some recommendations to buy one so today I did. I got the soil filled up and just giving them distilled water I bought last night so keeping the ph good but I am still getting the burnign now it has spread to all but the bag seeds and it is getting worse what should I do? My temps never get over 83 and usually stay at about 79-80.
PHANTOM- There is a reflector above that came with the light sorry I will take better pictures to show ya.
I will also try to take some pictures of the plants and dome soon.

too much love?

too much love?

hey bud I hear you are having some issuse with you plants. I learnd that ferting to early can casue problems. ill add pics so you can see what happend to me.
1 week and then @ 3w, then at one M they were kinda bad

my new seedling thats 2w old much better no nutes only water


But I was too loving with the ferts in the early days, but my plants did perk up after about 3weeks of plant rehab lol
10/18/07-11/13/07


so just give them some breathing room. I had to learn that but now they are much better. I have them in flower now but no good pics of that gl

Mix up this recipe, 50% Lightly fertilized soil such as plagron light mix, 40% Worm castings, 5% Perlite, 5% Vermiculite. And don't give them fertilizer untill the second week after the first two leafs have developed, and everything will be fine

Start to use a light fert at this stage of the plants life:





Remember to be careful with these tiny fragile seedlings, they are only babies .
Hope this helps

just give them some breathing room

U said it!

 

[Doug_Marsh]

Mrpiston38-Thanks for your help you live and learn I guess I just hope I didn't kill them they where starting to look bad. The mini greenhouse seems to be helping and I am just giving them 6.5 ph water so maybe they will perk up like yours. In the last picture they are looking great! What do you use for lighting? It seems to only be the ams that are burning too, the bag seeds seem unaffected why is this?
Joe Budden-I will take good care of my beautiful babies. Yours seems to be looking really healthy thanks for the advice I will definitely be using it!
_frankenstein_-Your wonder box is an inspiration. What kinda fan are you using to pull the air through your tube? Any critiques on mine?

So anyone have any thoughts on the little greenhouse? Has anyone ever grown A.m.s?
I will take more pictures soon.

One of my friends had a hydro set up that turned into a death machine when the ph was at 8.0 it only took about 4 hours for them to turn into twigs. Also my cotyledons are turning yellow as of the other day do you really think it would be a good idea to give them nutes?

 

[Joe Budden]

Have a little look at this box doug:

 

[guest101]

Cool!! Now just be patient!

 

[guest101]

Hey doug, show us a picture of you cab!
For air extraccion after the cooltube im using four computer fans (12cm /5") grouped 2 by 2, and im controlling their speed too...
Good luck mate!

 

[Doug_Marsh]

Joe Budden-Those are looking awesome! I hope you get an awesome harvest!
_frankenstein_-I'm hanging in there and here some pics of the closet with a couple of pictures of the plants sorry about the shitty quality in my friends camera mine broke and I'm broke so thats that I guess. Also the first leaves that came out not the cotyledons the first two sprouted leaves on all the A.M.S have turned brown but the new growth looks really green and healthy the indica bag seeds still seem to be doing good one is taking off and the other as not grown to much its day 19 above ground for the little guys.

Heres the closet

The reflector I am using it is suspended above the cool tube

Here is another of the set up inside with the new little greenhouse I was telling you guys about

Top part of closet with fan, ballast and where I keep stuff for my grow

Another inside shot of the room you can see the reflector and tube

Plants you can see how there droopy and the brown leaves I was talking about best in this picture
