Indoor Trans Siberian Journal

[redevil]

Ok be gentle with me boys and girls, this IS my first grow and first journal.

I started with 5 TS seeds all sprouted but one gave up before breaking surface so i have 4 on the go now

Tent 1.2m x 1.2m x 2.0 m
Lights 2 x 300 W Blue CFls.. will be adding a 600w HPS for flowering using a cooltube
Vents nothing at the moment. just an oscillating fan and passive venting, will be adding a 5 or 6 " setup next week
Soil BIOBIZZ Light
Nutes none at the moment- probably BIOBIZZ organic

At this early stage I am managing to keep temps at around 80 F and RH at about 40-50 %

Here are some pics and info to date, Kindly the girls all took 6-7 days to germinate and break surface

Week 1 Day 6

Breaking surface, this seed casing did not come of and the seeds refused to open fully but after a few days it did so and is in fact the healthiest plant



Week 2 DAY 1

All 4 are now up though i did not photo the stuck seed casing on the first to emerge !!



Week 1 Day 6



Week 2 Day 8




OK i will slow done the image posting !! And update less frequently but as I have these images i thought i would throw them up.

As this is my first grow I am not that sure about general grow rates but these ladies seem to be shifting

Nice 1 dude subbed in for this 1 I'm debating whether to go trams Siberian or think different for my next grow

Yo MEIN!! Im diggin the pics. Please tell me what kind of camera you are using?

The only reason i went with TS is that I know..err.. a couple of ladies of the night who live near me..we are just friends.... honest..i cannot afford them !! But one is Russian and I thought hey why not do the Trans Siberian !! I often go to their place for a smoke when they have finished work and in a few months we will be having a right old rave up..hopefully !!!

my camera is a Canon SX130 IS, but I also have a Nikon D50 with a 1:1 macro lens. i plan to pitch them against each other. if the Nikon does not prove that much better i will be selling it as I need the money and I don't really like lugging it around (camera, telephoto, macro, standard lens , filters etc ets

The good thing about the canon is i just stick it in front of the plants and click, all done , no hassle, it also pocket sized. The nikon is a lot more work and much larger since it is a true DSLR. But the canon eats batteries though it does have video which the nikon lacks

Blimey these girls shift !! Maybe not that impressive to the vets here but I am a newbie, and I am amazed at what these little minxes can do in 2 days. All are starting to branch now. No nutes, no ventilation yet apart from a standard oscillating fan. I open up the tent regularly to let them breath and I mist the leaves once a day

Temps steady at 80 F and humidity goes from 45 - 50 %. I plan to get some extraction in soon this will drop the humidity which at this stage is something i do not want

As I am running BIOBIZZ light there are some nutrients but not at a high level, they do not seem to be showing any needs but I may do a very low (1/8) feed in a few days on one plant to see the effect

Week 2 Day 10 From Breaking Surface

Well the doorbell just rang and it was my Ionic nutes pack so I have given one plant 1 litre of water with 2 ml of Formulex Early Growth Enhancer ( 1/2 strength) as a test. This nute is supposed to be for seedlings and young plants and since i am using a light soil i am hoping I will not get any problems, if i do then i will really have to watch the full grow nute dosage !!!

This product is also recommended for leaf spraying and I will be experimenting with that as the plants develop

I missed everything except the part about you living next to hookers. If I could rep slap you, I would. Someone ought to anyway.
