My 1st grow

Hey guys .

So I figured ill move this from the new user thread and make a proper thread for the grow.

This is how it all started . Planted 2 putins punch seeds directly from germination into the big pots . They got stunted pretty hard and barely grew for the 2 weeks . Bag seeds havent even broken ground yet at this point.

As for the indoor tent setup where the putins were growing , light was not the best after downloading a lux meter ( yes I know not the right spectrum but gives you a rough idea ) . Light intensity was way down and got we worried.

@CoolJ To the rescue . I asked if I could buy the cobs he ordered from aliexpress and he opted to give them to me . Baring in mind I splurged quite a bit on the setup this month it was a blessing . Thanx dude :D . 

On to after these pictures ....

Here we are today . I took a chance and replanted the putins seeds into smaller pots .... Way smaller pots .Did some research after @Ill_Evan advice and I figured ill take a chance and see. They seem to be reacting well since over watering is no longer a problem and I feel the plant should develop a bit better in this . I was being as careful as I can not to disturb the roots and to be honest there wasnt even much root growth . Lesson learned . Photos small pots first . I hope these make it otherwise ill take it as a lesson and plant some more .

As for the lighting situation . I am lucky to be in IT so I have access to a few extra parts . I present frankenlights. CPU cooler with some good thermal paste and a 12v fan . They run pretty cool for 16h on 8h off. Gonna run them for another week or so until I can build them into a proper frame and redo the wiring neatly. They do pump out a hella lot of light and it seems they are 3500k lights ( correct me if im wrong here , my chinglish is not the best )

Lastly just a big thanx to the community for being so welcoming and for the guidance . You guys are the best :D

Nice setup man, I hope your grow goes smoothly till harvest ☺.

I haven't grown with these lights yet but it seems like they are a bit too far away from the seedlings. They look a bit as if they stretch to get closer to the light.

Quick update , been feeding the coco plants with EHG nuts ( 2,5ml of each on 10l water ) and the soil bagseeds I am just watering.

Since I planted the putins in the cell pots and then into the big pots and with the feeding they are going strong.

Converted a bunch of old 140mm fans , a PSU and a bunch of L brackets into a airflow monster.

Got a bit more space now since there is no more fan taking space.

Quick update , Been a bit busy.

 

Ladies are looking lovely in my opinion .Can see the different quality in genetics from the thicker leaves on the putins punch and more leafy leaves ( if that makes sense ) on the outdoor seeds.

Got 4 smaller ones under the blurple light in the small grow area.

This floodlight is really really good and the plants seems to be loving it.

Moved the blurple light to my cupboard , around a 80w light from my research ( was sold as a 300w but yeah ).

Was in the tent originally but with the floodlight I figured having the LED in the cupboard for less heat is better.

Got 3 bag seeds and a small auto in the back . The one other auto didnt make it. Since it was free seeds I dont really mind.

Will be staying away from autos for now as I feel there is to little margin for error.

Having screwed my plants in the first 2 weeks to where they are now , autos simply would have just been a fail , photos I could atleast try save. With the auto being a bit fooked I would be surprised if it gives me 10g's

@awildmeme your grow is looking great so far bud well done

It looks like this thread is essentially becoming a diary so I'm going to move it under the Grow Diaries board if that's alright. This board is more for questions/topics on how to get a grow going for the first time. 

Cheers
