New Grower My first grow ever!

Thanks BillyWu, nice to have you stop in! I think things are about to get exciting too now I have 4 plants squared right under that light and two males out. Feels kinda cheesy asking this but I need some female canna-karma sent this way! Would be nice if the remaining ones were all ladies! *crosses fingers*
 
Thanks Kindred and Alan, the remainders should show any day now I hope. Why does that name sound so familiar? Alan Smithee....



Edit: Alan Smithee was in the credits of a copy of Dune that used to own.

And then there were three. On the other hand the largest one in there right now is throwing off pistils good so yay! The smaller two will hopefully show lots of pistils soon. :D
 
Day 20 with 2 females!

I think they are both 20 days old now. I have one very tall girl that is just growing straight up. Her spacing seems to be near the with of my thumb and the is showing a lot of pistils. The letter on her pot is B. I will call her Betty.

Here is the lady that just started showing this morning.

She is a darker shade of green and her pistils are fatter. She is much shorter than her sister. I didn't have my tape measure downstairs at the time so I could not grab their heights, but I will update this post later with that. This planter is marked F so I will call her Francine.

I need to ask an opinion to you more experienced growers. I would like to germinate four more to get my own supply going, but I am looking at 4-5 days before I can put seeds in planters, so that the pH can get set on the Pro Mix BX and so it can be evenly wet. Then I am looking at another couple days to have the seedling come above ground. So these two will have another week to 12 days of growth above the new babies. I have some one inch tall Styrofoam blocks that I can put under some of the planters to raise the height, to an extent. Will there be too much extremes in height difference where stretching will become a serious issue? I have the two ladies now that I could focus on and try to put every single gram on that I can?

The reason I want to put more on right away is to get as much as I can. Would focusing on the two and giving them more light all over give me a good amount per plant plus a better quality due to the better attention they would get? I am just looking for input so that I can make the best decision based on what I feel comfortable taking on. Thanks everyone for any input you can offer! :D And now I am going to sit back, pack a bowl and relax for a few before I go and clean things! :thumbs:
 
Hey mate, in regards to adding a couple more plants,you have the space and a 400w hps so yr good for light,and you can sit your babies on something to get them as close to the light as you want.if you have the time you could go for it bud,but with it being your first grow it may be an idea to not overwhelm your self and see these two through,get a handle on a full grow in your growing environment and next time start 4 all at the same time.:thumbs:
 
Red eyed c, I think that is exactly what I was looking for in advice. At this point I know only what I have read but I lack the hands on of seeing things grow. I will probably just soak in what I can now and start with six more next time around and see how things go. :D Thanks for coming in m8
