Hi guys, I'm back again.

My last grow i got distracted once it came to harvest time and never finished it off :P
Anyways the final dry weight of my BlackJack auto was 22.8g.
Which considering it was my first time growing was not bad at all :D Even after all the abuse she received from me (like my stunting the fuck out of it with a nitrogen overload)

All and all .. very happy with it.. it was all organic so the product was lovely sweet and simple.

And TBH some of the best weed I've ever smoked. Tasted lovely and fruity too :D

Anyways lets get back onto topic.

Ive moved up in the world and built a better grow box. Pics following :]
Since this is my second grow im alot more confident and basically yeh please follow along guys :D
 
So right now its 18 days in and I'll give you the whole story:

This is just after the lil Mi5 sprouted.
I decided to do it in rockwool first so when I transplant to a bigger pot i can dust the roots which are showing with some beneficial micro-organisms( Great white Plant success)

Day 10
This is the full set up using Orca grow film everywhere. Around the pot and under it too.. The stuff is great, really easy to handle and doesnt tear.

At this stage, all the leaves are slightly drooping down.. I'm abit worred.. Any idea guys? It's been like 4 days after i transplanted it in so maybe it's just adjusting and what not

Day 16:
Leaves are still getting droopy and I got worried that maybe there wasnt enough oxygen in the soil so I watered it.
Yeh i know it sounds stupid .. but heres my reasoning: basically i mixed in some NoShock transplant nutes from AN ( around 2.5mls) and some molasses into 500mls of water.
Shook the hell out of it for 10 mins and watered it little by little while shaking the water in-between. (shaking the water helps trap more air into it.. or so i hope :P)

So Heres the pics and shite from Day 17:
I added a mini pc fan in there to give some wind onto my baby since day 16 but last night it fell right ontop..
I know :'(
but the plant survived despite having the fan fall right ontop of it.. and TBH im kinda surprised the turbines didnt slice it in half :P

But yeh still it took a battering but its looking better in these pics since i took them 7 hours after discovering the fan incident.. (rest assured that i took away that cunt of a fan)

The leaves are slightly mangled.. (they were much worse earlier .. trust me)
but growth seems to be abit better after my feeding..
Lets hope the rest goes well...
 
It looks pretty good to me,the droopiness could be from a tad much water-500ml for a small plant is quite a bit.I got a bunch of seedlings about that age or a little younger and i give them 200ml water once every 4 days or more depending on how long it takes for the soil to dry out.
 
I was looking at your pictures and was looking at the soil and it seems really dense. What kind is that? You might try adding about 25% perlite to whatever that is to lighten it up some on your next grow.
 
And remove the thing around the pot, its called an air-pot for a reason mate. Let the air flow.
