New Grower 1st Auto Grow, BDM, by Advanced Seeds

[AutoCritique]

It's BioDieselMass by Advanced seeds. We're at one month. Being grown under an Agrosun 32W (160w equiv) 1800 lumen CFL, when it's sunny she's been going outside during the day. The last week has been dreary, cool and raining here so she's been inside.

Been using this lux meter app (Light-O-Meter) on my phone...outside i'm getting 1480 lumens on these dreary days...my CFL shows about 1500+ lux/lumens. I figured it would be better to keep her under the bulb.

I think it's small for a month but my lighting isn't exactly up to par.

I'm going to follow along, very curious about this strain. Small or no she looks healthy!

Wanted you guys to check out my old thermometer from the railroad. This thing is accurate too, if I peek in it usually between 70-75 and when I open the door that needle drops right down into the high 60's. Who needs that new fangled digital stuff?!

The 2nd pic shows the amount of pistil formation since yesterday when the previous pics were taken.

I wonder if I screwed up. I read one here somewhere not to give bloom nutes when it starts flowering, well I did give about 20 ounces of rain water mixed with earth juice bloom but at about 1/2 strength. I read this after giving her the nutes, I think they said it will stunt your plant. Sunday will be a week maybe give her a shot of grow and see what happens? I watered her once with epsom, all other times rain water. Mixed some bat poo in the soil before planting probably time for a shot of N by now? Maybe top dress some guano and water with bloom nuts and give her a real BLAST..lol

Few for pics...

This is basically an experiment in getting my feet wet into the AF scene. Basically my idea is to start one plant then one month later start another. I smoke about a ounce or less per month and I'm hoping to find a strain or two that I can get about 2 ounces+ per plant. I have a limited space as you can see it's a closet grow.

I picked up a 150W equivalent 2700k (cheap feit electric) today ($6..lol), 2200 lumens to go with my 130W equivalent 6500k agrosun 1800 lumens. The vertical light is an old 2 foot t12 grow-lux sylvania bulb i've had for at least 10 years. It's only 20w but plants love it if you keep it close. I cannot find these bulb anywhere now.

I'm in serious need of Mylar just been too lazy and too cheap to buy it. Trying to do this grow as cheap as possible, probably have $25 in it so far.

I'm using the basic feeding chart shown, using Earth Juice Grow, Bloom and Catalyst. If I notice issues I will go with the advanced feeding chart, with requires the aforementioned nutes in addition to Meta-K and Microblast.

I'm open to criticism on lighting and my setup and would appreciate recommendations for some good AF strains. I wish on my last order from Attitude I would have gotten all autos except for this one seed. I like what sweet seeds and advanced seeds and dutch passion have to offer.

One day I want to try some photo landraces from World of Seeds, Reeferman (want to try Willie Nelson!) or cannbiogen.

Welcome to AFN! you don't need mylar. Use flat white paint. Its almost as reflective as mylar! I don't know much about the nutes you are using, but spomeomne will jump in and say something. If you haven't, go post a hello in the Introductions thread, it will help get your grow journal noticed. The more people who know your here, the better chance of getting help when you need it!

Thanks for the advice pop22, I painted my closet with Killz flat white primer. Took 3 coats!!! Super bright in there now!

I top dressed with bat poo and fed her 1/2 strength Grow and Catalyst and she REALLY took off in the last few days.

Unfortunately, she is going outside full time tomorrow because this plant has my entire house REEKING, I went in totally unprepared for odor control, never thought such a small plant would STANK (a good stank) so much! Next grow will have a carbon filter on my exhaust fan.

Going to hide her in a thicket somewhere no one will find it (hopefully, cuz it's still turkey season here) that receives direct sunlight for at least 8 hours.

But on the upside I started 3 more photos for my outdoor grow, running KC36 KC Brains. $20 for a pack of 10 seeds all but one germinated so I'm happy. Gave my cuz the other 6 to grow PLUS a fem Blue OG G13 Labs. He's a really good grower but too chicken shit to order his own seeds..ahaha

I'll post a few more pics once she starts filling out nicely.

BTW, the other plants you see are Roma tomatoes..they have tripled in size since getting the same fert 2 or 3 days ago. They are also outside now.

Have a grow going of this as well at the moment haha I think I saw you post in my thread actually. I am not a great grower or anything but if you need any information on the strain you can try to base it off my grow since my plants a little bit older. I believe your plant looks similar to mine at a month.
