Hi guys and gals,
This is my first grow, I am growing 2 variants of northern lights 1 is a royal queen the other is a pyramid auto both sourced from herbies.
The royal queen poked her head above ground on the 07/01/2014 the pyramid 10/01/2014. I germinated by the paper towel method, once a 10mm tap root was visable they were planted in to a jiffy pellet for a few days before being placed in there final pots and placed into my DIY groom.
I have made a nood error already by over watering the royal queen, which has brought on a problem with fungus gnats, which im sure is the reason the growth has been stunted but with a bit of luck things will start to improve now.
I am growing in B&Q's seedling compost and growing under 2 CFLS which are both dual spec 1x 200w 1x 125w.
Now im growing on a very tight budget so the extractor was a cheap 1 of fleabay and the carbon filter is a DIY job using a car induction filter i had kicking around in my man cave and some activated carbon from my local pet shop. Took a bit of fabrication but fingers crossed when they flower it'll hold its own against them.
As for nutrients i obtained 500ml of biobizz grow and 500ml of biobizz bloom off of fleabay for 5pound (bloody key for pounds wont work. grrrr) and that included postage

DIY Groom:-30x42x120cm. This box as i have now discovered is to small got over excited when building and didn't wait for CFL's to arrive, going to extend when my baby's are done.

DIY Carbon filter:- Pic says it all lol

PYRAMID N/L :- this pic was taken 29/01/2014

PYRAMID N/L:- This was taken this morning so we can see there is healthy growth happening

ROYAL QUEEN N/L:- this is my poor lil girl, shes had a hard time of it but fingers crossed she'll pull through to yield a kilo or 2 lol

PYRAMID N/L:- just a comparison shot with the lighter.

PYRAMID N/L:- first attempt at lst
Any way people thats what ive been doing with my January, Thanks for taking time to read my post and please come back to check the updates.:tiphat:
ALL HELP IS GRATEFULLY RECIVED.
