New Grower BlackJack auto LED and CFLs (kind of a newbie)

[near]

Hey guys.. so first time grower here so any feedback would be gold ^^

Anyways.. germinated into a rockwool cube on 13-4-2012 (Friday the 13th).

I let it grow for roughly 2 weeks (sorry no pics of seedling)

but after the 2 weeks roots were coming out the bottom abit ( may have stunted the growth abit)

Then planted the whole thing into random tomato planter soil from garden centre(9 ltr air-pot).

I'll upload pics soon.. uploaded to AFN but taking a while, but yeh she's nice and healthy (i think) .. not huge, which is what i want and has a few bud sites ( around 7)

You're gonna love that Blackjack. I have some curing ATM and it is some really good smoke.:smoke:

Hey there, near. Welcome to the site. I'll get this moved over to the New Growers forum, I think you will get better attention and help there. We're glad to have you here. I suggest poking around and reading as much as you can, as there is definitely a learning curve for new growers, myself included.

Light from eShinesystems - 24x3W LED (not quite sure on actual draw wattage)

Grow Box ( home made from cardboard box, mylar, 2 pc fans, and some wiring)

These picture were taken 35 days from seed

I LSTed the shit out of it due to height restrictions (grow box only 2 ft tall)
I also trimmed the 9ltr air pot to make it shorter (in the process I basically unfurled the pot, cut 3'' off the bottom, removed some soil and curled it all back up into pot form again. BUT BUT BUT!! I unfortunately also damaged some roots, not alot , but the bottom section of the root system got damaged and a bit got ripped)
so its probably a 6-7 ltr pot now.

You cant really see properly, but the stem is LSTed along the horizontal and getting quite thick.

So yeh forgot to mention I'm feeding with biobizz grow, bloom, and heaven, I've done it gradually, starting off at 1/4 ml then slowly upping the dosage... Only started with the bloom on week 5.

Also can anyone see those pics I put up? Seems to be a problem there or something :/

Update on my girl with pics

Day 46 from seed

Here's an attempt at the shot of the main cola

She's about 11'' but I LST like crazy.... main cola's about 2-3'' tall.. still getting fatter ... not really starting to smell yet.. but all's good

But there are a few leaves starting to yellow.... don't think it's anything bad... I think she's just using the nutrients she stored up ^^

So new pics of my lady

These few were snapped day 48 from seed.. the trichs are starting to come in more and more... starting to get sugary ^^

And here are a few a snapped today.. day 52 from seed

The main cola is swelling up.. hopefully this continues ...
the rest of the smaller buds are starting to get abit fatter too... hope they keep chucking on and putting on that weight

And advice or feedback... comments .. all welcome

So here we are.. a new update.. day 66 or 68 .. (around that anyways ) from seed

Buds got crazy fat compared to even a week ago .. heres so pics

A good few fan leaves have died off ... most are turning yellow now and even a few bud leaves are following
Trichomes are all milky (using 60x magnifying scope)
pistils are about 25-35% red now but more white ones keeps popping up every day..
