[Grow Journal] Closet grow 1st attempt indoors

[Jibblerjoe]

It gets messy spraying the plants. I cant doit outside because its not leagal round here. I put up a sheet of plastic in the corner, then i laid old news papers down to soak up the over spray. Made cleaning up my mess a breeze. Good luck growmie.

Unfortunately my states in limbo with medical too but it is decriminalized upto a half oz but anything more is a felony. Anywho i live out in the country away from the city i was raised in. My 1st grow i pretty much grew outside during the day and brought it in at night and never had a issue the whole grow, but now having the lights i need they only go outside for 30min tops for co2 replinishment and a little bit of natural light.

[alltatup]

Wow, I didn't know about your state's cannabis laws! Little by little making progress.

[Tdh101jr]

Alltatup- ya were making baby step but bc NC is mostly a republican state its taking forever but right now its in legistlation for ptst for war vets and medicinal use hopefully it will pass this year but it is taking forever i have a magazine with all 50 states and there stands with cannabis ill post picture under this post.

Is that germination/seedling station, I like it. Them babies look great. It takes a month or more for reveging. Very interesting.

[Tdh101jr]

Yes right now the closet it just for the seedlings and reveging but once have some plaants in flowering my veg station will be outside the closet and flowering inside. I have a pretty good concept for my setup once i have enough plants and all proper lights etc it will all be updated as this grow progresses on here but thanks! Imma be doing a video tonight of transplanting those 2 seedlings from those cells to a bigger pot.

[Tdh101jr]

The 50 states and there individual laws on cannabis.

[Tdh101jr]

Im sure they are exspecially if you stay in a legal state they wanr to put limits on grows and try to maximize there revenue im pretty sure. Govt is always looking for there best intrest so thats why i believe they do that keep everything small enough they can possiably over see everything and be able to tax it some how idk but thats my thought on it. Where do you stay btw alltatup?

[alltatup]

I'm below you in the dirty south.

[Tdh101jr]

Which would that be georgia, south Carolina, florida?

Grow journal vlog: weekly update, day 11 & 1

I watched some of your youtube video: your seedlings are way stretched: give them some real light!!!!!!! You can't tell if a seedling is a male from that kind of stretching, which is caused by insufficient light.

You should read up if you want those plants to grow strong and healthy: http://www.growweedeasy.com/basics

[Tdh101jr]

Hmm didnt know all that. I mean i do give them about 30min to an hr a day of sunlight and just the t5 24/0 light schedule. I thought they were to close to the light like now i dont want them sesitive seedlings getting any light burn. I have about a week or so till the 300w led comes in the mail then that closet t5 will be replaced with it and use t5 strictly for clones and seedlings. I guess 1 more t5 wouldnt hurt its only 54w, I read seedlings only need 3-5w ea till they hit veg and ill eliminate all the stretching when i transplant them before flowering mode or in middle of veg idk. This is my 1st indoor grow, last grow the single plant was done strictly on sunlight and it was still stretchy a bit but ended up doing pretty good later on in veg. What are some suggestions to keep the streching down with out burning the taller seedlings and to be close enough to new seedlings?

[Tdh101jr]

Found a way to get everything all nice and in uniform for best use of the light and will allow a hr sunlight from the window sill till veg. Once veg 18/6 light cycle and under 300w led and maybe 1 or 2 sunlight. But they seem fine amd its cruise for next week or 2 i believe.. Just water and checking ph

[Tdh101jr]

Just checked my babies today and noticed some nice root systems! The seedlings that were put straight in clear cups to the original 2 that were transplanted to the cups. they seem to be loving the space and environment.

[Aloner]

I think it's a stress factor. In other words, it may not kill your plant but it can affect how well it grows and, ultimately, your yield.

[Tdh101jr]

Alright cool, well thanks for the info i remedied the issue with wraping them with electrical tape. No more roots showing and also got all my iteams in the mail cant wait to see results! How far do you suggest to keep leds from seedlings?

[Aloner]

My only grow was outside so I'm not the one to ask but I think 18-24" is the range I see kicked around.

[Tdh101jr]

Ok so i got my ph kit, clone root gel, and led light in mail this week right in time for the veg stage next week! Here a few pictures please leave some feed back and let me know the best way to utilize this space and make it more sufficient. Ik i need an exaust fan to remove static heat from the lights instead of just circulating it in the room. What is to hot for these plants? I dont like going above 80 and perfer a steady 75 degrees i have my max and min temps in the range of 10 degrees i know stay withing 15 degrees for best but what are you alls thoughts?

[alltatup]

Tdh, you have a lot of basic questions, so this would be what you should read: http://www.growweedeasy.com/basics

You gotta do some reading, and all the information is over there on GWE!!! Just look up temperature.

[Jibblerjoe]

With leds they do best at 78 or so for veg. Since leds make less heat to help with drying of root zone plants do better with a lil warmer temp.

[Aloner]

Hey T, if you click the "post link" button (next to the camera, just above "Write something...") and paste in the YouTube link, it'll embed the video in the post. Some people prefer that to following a link off-site, especially the more cautious/paranoid types. Might get you some extra views.

Edit:
I totally missed the birthday part of your post... so much for those speed reading classes!

Happy birthday!!
