Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and wanted to post my current grow. It's only my first "serious" grow so I decided to start out pretty basic - that meant having just a basic and affordable system setup in a small closet. Currently, I've got one 40w cfl at 2700k and one 25w cfl also at 2700k running 24/7 about 7cm (3 inches more or less) from the plant. In the mornings it gets pretty sunny around here so I leave the plant outside for about four hours a day to absorb some nice direct sunlight. Other than that I water it like once every 2-3 days and I'm careful with watering and check the plant regularly so it doesn't dry. Right now it's been 11 days since the plant broke the surface and she seems to be growing steadily so I'm hoping that she stays healthy (one picture taken an hour ago). I'm planning to order a dual spectrum 200w cfl in a couple of days as well so I get a great boost of light that should be sufficient for it to grow some nice n dense nugs. Maybe you guys could give me some tips or comments, which would be greatly appreciated! I know this is a pretty cool and helpful community so I can't wait to get started!

Take it easy guys,

Phil :peace: :toke:

Healthy and happy, just the way it should be!! Good luck with your first grow!! :peace:
 
Thanks for replying guys. I'm actually thinking about buying nutes soon but I don't really know what to get. What should I keep in mind when buying them and what is actually necessary to achieve a decent yield? Thanks in advance! :bong:
 
I just picked up General Organics GO BOX and have fed mine with it once. So far they seem to LOVE it!!
 
I'm using GHE FloraDuo... I picked up the tripack. One point with the nutes and these autos is that you need to cut the dosage down to 1/4 to start and move it up slowly to see if they take to it. Here is a link to the product. http://gb.eurohydro.com/floraduo.html . Also every other watering I mix a tspn of organic black molasses in with 5 litres for mineral boosting. Good luck eh. Peace out.
