New Grower First proper grow 2 x Think Different 125w Dual Spec CFL

Hahaaa whooaa dude don't stress :) I find mystery random tears sometimes in a random fan leaf. All I've been able to figure is that it must happen during watering, moving them around, or something like that. It'll keep using the torn leaf :)

Lol I hope its nothing serious. I'll give it some plain PH'ed water for its next feed just to be safe. I still need to address the issue with the faulty CFL and lack of light on the far right. Looking around on eBay for cheap CFL bulbs.
 
I had a photo girl that was a cutter... Couldn't play The Cure anywhere NEAR the tent, or carnage ensued.... ;)
They're looking great, Bro!
Lol do I have an Emo on my hands? Could just be going through puberty lol [emoji23]
 
Okay guys just thought I'd let everyone know my grow is about to change. The 125w dual CFL is faulty and one of the U shaped tubes out of the 6 is not working. I've decided to use my £25 eBay voucher that I got from selling an old smartphone on there. If anyone wants free £25 to spend on eBay just sell any old smartphone on there and you get it. Anyway I've gone through buy it now and purchased a 300w dual spec CFL which has 8 U shaped tubes for £29.50 - £25 voucher = £4.50 lolololol bargain [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] . I'm also gonna use a desk lamp which takes cheap household CFL bulbs to address the lack of light on the far right. Better than no light right? Lol. I'll update when everything is set up.
 
Day 25

New 300w dual CFL is fitted. 20w CFL also added on the far right. Doubt it will help much but at least it will keep that side going. Using light-o-meter the lumen output has only increased marginally at 2 inches. I now understand why they say a lot of smaller CFLs would have been better than one large bulb.

I can sort of see where all the budsites will develop. Not that many tbh for the amount of LST'ing I did. It really is a wild bushy mucker and gives a little trouble training. Did manage to even out the canopy with more LST. You can see the difference in the second picture.There's like 13 possible bud sites on one plant and 11 on the other. More could develop or probably hidden under the canopy? I don't know.

Also noticed the yellowing of a few large fan leaves at the bottom. Not looking in tip top health. Guessing its nitrogen or magnesium deficiency?? I have some Epsom salts on the way so I'll try that out next feed like a heaped teaspoon per 2 litre water. Also bought some of those sachets that calibrate your pH pen just to make sure my pH levels are not off. First real sort of problem I've encountered so far into the grow and its all getting nitty gritty now approaching the flowering stage. I hope I can actually get these plants to flower and see them through till the end.

Couple of pics for now. Will add more when I get my Epsom's and pH calibrating sachets in on Friday.

If anyone is looking to learn how to grow this great plant there's no better substitute than doing your first grow and seeing for yourself how they grow. How they react to certain things like light, water, medium, nutrients and even different fan speeds lol. I've learnt so much already which was one of the main objectives of doing my first grow. Some wonderful people on here with a lot of experience and sound advice also. Just germ your seeds and sow! Lol.
 
Day 26

Plants are fluffing up. Think its getting ready to flower. Can't wait till I see those first buds form. Still need to address the Magnesium deficiency. Epsom salts will be here tomorrow and plants look like they'll be ready for a feed tomorrow so perfect timing. The little lamp on the far right is actually doing a very good job and can already see growth and bits reaching for the lamp bulb. Anyway quick couple of pics and a close-up to test my crappy 5mp mobile phone cameras focusing ability lol.
