Hello everyone, I am a first time grower looking to grow a big yielding plant with everything I have read in terms of information within the past 2 months.
Growing: BIG BANG
Age: Surfaced on 26/04/2014
Lighting: 1 X 250W CFL and some days sunlight.
Pot: 30CM / 5 Litre
Temperature: between 22-28C
Watering: Once the first 2 inches of the soil is dry
Feeding: Just started on babybio 5 drops per pint of water.
pH: between 6.5 - 7.1 (a meter with 2 metal thingies to measure it, really unaccurate but I am not measuring pH or temperature that much.
Soil:MG compost, perlite added later on 01.05.14 as there was drainage problems.

She sprouted on 26/04/2014. Ii put her too low in the soil and had to brush away some of it in order to expose her to the sunlight.
I awoke to find some cotyledons had formed, I was chuffed, excited and imagining what harvest day would look like at 2am.
By now I was checking the cabinet every day to see signs of growth, everyday was exciting to see the leaves get bigger and form a fan leaf shape.

I read up on LST and thought this was my moment to start it, little did I know the stem was so fragile and not strong enough to be supported at 90 degrees angle and became frustrated at my failed attempts to get it to secure in place.
On the 02.05.14 I flushed my plant as I saw the appearance of yellow spots, in the process I drowned my seedling, broke the baby leaf and started to cry as I thought I killed her. SAD TIMES trust me
I kept seeing new brown and yellow spots appearing on the leaf, at first I thought this was nute burn and decided to flush my plant with 3x the container size. I was expecting to see some results within the day, but instead I WAS LEFT with what you can see in the picture. A plant going more and more yellow and forming more spots.
I studied hard and well, I came across a forum with pictures to diagnose the plant, and have now decided it is asking for food. That's why I have started babybio giving 1/2 of the recommended doses. I am looking to see if this improves my girl.

This picture was taken today, 05/05/2014. She has been in sunlight for the last 2 days and I am leaving her outside to strengthen the stem with the wind that blows outside. I bring her inside and stick her under CFL until sunrise. As you can see from the picture, it was going well but I MESSED UP BIG TIME.
Would anyone like to comment? I have another seed in a pot, i check the taproot to see the health of it and it is growing. The MG compost has been flushed twice so there will be barely any nutrients in it, and have given it a mix with perlite at 60/40.
The new seedling will stay in british sunlight until harvest day comes along. If this attempt is also a failure I have Johns Inn seedling compost which has 3 weeks feed for the seedling ready at hand. I will kill off the plant I am currently doing and start afresh.
I thought it would be easy, but boyyy, big respect to the people who make it to harvest. I salute you.
I will update and keep this post as my grow journal, please feel free to comment or advise me and talk about your first grow with me.
Thanks for stopping by, hopefully we will see a harvest on this thread I have opened.
PEACE OUT
