Here we go.
My first grow as an adult.

Last time, I didn't know any of the science, I was young. I just knew dirt+seed+water+light =plant.

I have been subscrided for about a year now, I have not posted any of this grow until now. I was scared.

What I am working with:
My grow tent is small (3' tall x 3' wide x 2' deep)

A soil mix I got from a friend

Lights: i have 2 of the 150w ufo led.(i'll update brand)

I have a 110 cfm booster fan on the interior pushing thru the carbon filter. I wanted to pull but due to current size restrictions. I will work with what I have. Also I will be upgrading fan soon to something more powerful to push the air out.

Seeds:
1 blue cheese found in delivery order from the dispensary.
1 "GSC" found in a pre roll from the dispensary. (I always break them down to see what they are trying to hide"
1 purple urkle - I was going through where I keep my meds. Cleaning, double checking jars and containers for any leftover goods before they got thrown away. I tossed the jar and it missed the trash and then I picked it up again I saw a seed staring at me. Oh same dispensary as above.
10 I got from this hippy. He said "that right there is some awesome dope brother" ‍

This is a long post.
Part 2 to follow after this sesh.
 
Part 2
I'm smoking and typing.
So it is safe to call these regular photoperiod.

I will have to check the dates the morning and I want to cross check my notes so I can provide the best information to hopefully get the best help and tips.

If you are here to be negative or shit on the newbs, please don't waste our time.

I currently have about $400 in the budget to make updates or improvements.

I have a vision of updating my grow area. Maybe a 4x4 and my current set up as a clone room or a mother tent. But this is in maybe a few grows.

Currently I have 2 random dispensary bagseed in 1 gallon fabric pots. Again please check back for dates.

And 3 weeks behind them I have another 3. I started them in beer cups. I decided since it was going to be a short grow I would keep them in the beer cup but I would expand the drainage and added slots to allow the roots to come out the bottom and into a second cup with a spacer and a bit of notes. Shout out my n word [HASHTAG]#KHANNGSTAR[/HASHTAG].
 
Hey Brother

It's kind of funny you say your first grow as an adult, because I guess that's kind of the way I did things. Although, when I was growing as a kid it was back in the day before we had any high intensity discharge lights. A few guys were starting to use some mercury vapor lights and take the Globes off or some such thing I never had the nerve to try that.

Anyway it sounds like you have a good mix of seeds. There is nothing wrong with growing photo period Seeds on 12/12 right from seedling they tend to be small and will be about the size of a smaller Autoflower. In your space that may be the best way to get a little bit of experience. Without her having to cut the top off your tent [emoji846][emoji848]

Thank you for stopping in.

I actually did flip my lights to 12/12 after reading a grow journal where someone had a small space
 
On 3/15/18 is when i put the first 2 seeds in wet paper towel to germinate.

On 3/18/18 both seeds had a large tap root so i moved to 1 gallon fabric pots and set under light on my desk with clear cups over them to retain humidity. I watered the soil before i moved seed into soil.

3/19/18 both seedlings have popped up completely. Seedling labeled [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] had seed stuck to the leaf. I got surgical and removed the seed from the leaf. Really all i did was touch it with my finger and it came right off.

3/20/18 both seedlings took off so i moved them into the tent with 1 light on.

3/21 - 3/27 both seedlings during this period were misted 2x a day with plain water PH'd at 5.8 Humidity has been between 49% and 58%
 
On 3/28 the soil was dried out completely. I decided I was going to attempt to feed them. I mixed up a solution of general hydroponics maxi-bloom

The water i am using is just filtered tap water with a PPM of 4

I mixed solution to 250 ppm and feed both until i saw run off (am i supposed to water until run off?)

3/29 everything looks normal. Humidity is at 54% and temp has been staying around 73 F
 
3/30 opened tent to check on plants. they do not look healthy :sadcry:

plant 1 is drooping, leaves curled and tip turning brown.

Plant 2 seems to be not as bad but tips of fan leaves brown and crunchy.
