New Grower First grow ever! Hop on board for the ride

[Devboy74]

Hi guys,

Hope you are all well, thanks for taking a look at my very first attempt at growing the might herb.

After reading a lot on here it dawned on me a while back that there's a lot more to this growing lark than just popping some magic beans in soil. I hope I have gleaned enough info to get me someway down the line to becoming weed self sufficient.

I know there are a lot more equipment that I could do with, but for now money is a big factor (isn't it always?). Anyway here is a brief run down of my kit and kaboodle.

120 x 120 black orchid light tent.
600w hps bulb, ballast and shade.
4" tt fan with carbon filter.
2 large pots (definitely think they are wrong shape possibly size)

I have more kit in mind to buy but as mentioned money is a factor so they will have to be sourced later.

I have decided to grow 2 Sweets Seeds Cream Caramel after reading some good reviews about them. I have another Cream Caramel and a Northern Lights seed waiting in the wings ready to get going after these babies have been under way for a month.

I have taken some pictures of my set and the girls, will sort these pics out hopefully tonight when I'm back from work.

Please feel free to offer any advice, comments and criticism (hopefully constructive) that you guys feel relevant.

Right off to work we go, will post pics and more details later.

Hi Guys,

As promised here are some pics.

The Tent.


And now the girls. As I mentioned in my introduction post, the girls have been fine but they do have some leaf curl.

They are in Westlands MP with added JI and perlite (70/30 ratio).




As you can see on pic 2 there is a yellow spot, this is all me. Sprayed with water before lights on! You can see the leaves and the curling they have. Its not too bad but im still a little worried.

Please feel free to ask me anything. Any info and advice would be appreciated.

Cheers in advance, Dev.

Your medium looks really dry. Leaf curl like that 2nd one I think is over fertilization or heat stress. If it's not from heat just keep feeding plain water for a your next watering or two and make sure nothing is getting worse. they look pretty happy to me.

Hi Torch, thanks for the info. The girls haven't had any nutes, do you think the soil is a bit too hot for them?

I'm not familiar with Westlands so I can't say. Unless it's a fully amended soil like Ocean Forest or something similar that might be too hot I wouldn't worry about it unless the problem starts getting worse.
