Indoor Finally started first grow!!!

[azautoguy520]

Whats up everybody!!! Just started my first grow a few days ago and 2 out of 5 have already sprouted. I am going to be growing a g13 pineapple express, humboldt lemon juice express, auto berry ryder, short stuff blue himalayan diesel, and delicious seeds northern light blue.

Stuff im using:
5 7 gal. Pots
Filled first half of pot with a mix of ffof, perlite, and dolomite lime
Second half a mix of ffof, lw, organicare pure grow, and dolomite lime
Under a 1000w mh bulb approx. 20 inches above pots



I have a couple questions. When should I introduce the oscillating fan? And I have the ballast dimmed to 50%. When should I turn it up?

Sounds like you got some good strains going dude. I would go ahead and use the fan, good to have a moving airflow throughout the entire grow. As far as turning up the light I would wait until flowering personally but I'm sure some one else would know more about that than me. Good luck and happy growing dude:Sharing One:

Today is approximately day 13 and the girls are coming along!!! This is so exciting lol!! When they turned about a week old I gave them their first full watering. After a few days I noticed the light blue had a leaf that was starting to curl and the leafs were becoming a little more dark. I figured it was drowning so I turned my ballast up to 75% to dry out the soil faster. She is looking a lot better now but she is a little smaller than the rest. So I think I am going to keep the ballast at 75%. Good idea or bad? I also tested my runoff today and it was at 5.3. Should I be watering with high alkalinity to get it to 6.5? And one more thing next watering I am thinking of inoculating with great white and giving them some EJ Catalyst.

Here are some pics of the girls::drool:

Just a quick update: DAY 20



The pineapple express is a little over 11" tall and the rest are around 5-5 1/2". I fed them a little less than a half tsp of Great White and .8 ml of EJ catalyst and they loved it
