I am in the middle of my first ever grow. I chose auto flower because I've heard it is pretty hard to go wrong and for a first time grower, that's what I'm after. I have not got a proper grow room sorted out yet so for the minute I'm using an old wardrobe and its not 100% light proof and not suitable for 12/12, another reason for choosing auto's :thumbs: I have 4 PC fans taking in air on the bottom and 2 exhausting it at the top and an oscillating fan inside. It seems to be working good so far. The highest temp I've seen has been 80.3 and that was before I put the big fan in.

I have been looking into growing for the last 18 months now, and have picked up plenty of knowledge along the way up to this point. I am not a newbie that is panicking in the middle of his grow and doesn't know what to do. This was more of an experiment before i go out and spend €1000 on a good setup only to be a failure at it :D ( I do understand that there is still plenty to be learned, even after 18 months of research )

I bought 3 Kush seeds from Hippyseeds.com and picked up a 200w red cfl from the hydro shop along with a bag of Bio-Biz light mix and bio-bloom NPK 2.0-6.0-3.5 . I germinated the seeds and planted them 2 days later and had them under 2 fluorescent's for the first 2 1/2 weeks before i switched to the 200w red cfl. They got just water p.h'd at 6.0 for the first 4 weeks, then they got 1ml of bio-bloom per liter of water every second watering, while slowly upping the dose. I am at 8ml per 5 liters, almost in week 8 now. I did not get any feeding instructions with the bio-bloom, so im just going off whet i see online.

I have added some pics for you guys, so let me know what you think :D I think they look good so far but this is my first time, so I'm unsure. The experienced eye helps a lot, and I've no mates that have ever grown before :( The pic's is of the same plant. The three plants are all at about 60cm in height.

Thanks

Always take your drivers license pic STONED, that way whenever you get pulled over, the cop will think you always look like that. :twist:

Good work!! looks like you have everything in order. Nice and healthy looking plants,some nice buds popping through.Don't be holding back on biobizz nutes they love it!! Just slowly increase your bloom nutes to full strength until harvest. Happy growing
 
Thanks for the advice on the nutes Beetybabe, I'll give them 9ml per 5 liter's of water in 2 days time when they are due a feed. What is the max per liter recommended, do you know ? I'll post more pics in a few days and up until harvest time :D
 
5 ml per liter is max and increase the amount by 1ml each week, using it with every watering. That's what works for me.
 
They look healthy & happy, no burnt tips, nice & green, looks ready for more food!
 
An update on my babies :)

Only trim off the fan leaves when they are dying off as the plant can use them for food. Just tuck them under if they are blocking bud sites. Looking good though!!!!
