BBB's Closet and Grow Journal

[BigBudsBruddah]

Hello
My name is BBB and welcome to my closet. So around 13 years ago I used to grow and journal on another site. Thanks to their help I learned to grow some amazing buds. Then I met Mrs. BBB and had kids so I had to halt all grows, not worth going to jail over with kids involved.

The great state of Missouri became a medical marijuana state a couple years ago. I finally took the plunge and got my medical cultivator card. Which means I can legally grow 6 flowering plants. Also will be able to caretake for 2 other patients which means my legal amount of flowering plants will be 18. I plan to get a few grows under my belt before looking for patients.

Mrs. BBB gave me a budget of around $600(I am at a little over 700 though :)). Here is my shopping list.

Here are some pics of my grow closets

So my first grow I am using all bagseed, I would rather shake the rust off with free seeds. I will be buying seeds in the next month or so. I gave my friend another legal grower 5 bag seeds he only ended up needing 2 of the 5. So he gave me back three plants that are about 3 weeks old I think. Those 3 are in my big closet now in veg for maybe 2-3 more weeks. I also have 10 seedlings sprouted in my Veg closet.

Okay they survived the weekend!!!! The seedlings are moving along all good no issues, they were nice and dry but no harm done.

The Three big plants looked a bit more thirsty, I may have gave 1 or 2 of them a bit of a sun burn. Trying to figure out the distance is taking a bit of work, never used LED's before. Any Advice of how far away that would be great i moved it up to about 2' above.

Another question when do you all start feeding your seedlings, i was thinks another week on mine then strating a very light dose.

I busted out my camera just to see how it does in the grow room so here are the pics.

SILVERFISH!!!!

Found 3 of these fuckers in my veg closet. I smashed and killed those fast little things. Do I have to be concerned, they seem to be leaving the seedlings alone. I was thinking maybe using a sticky trap to try and catch them. Any suggestions

I used a little bit of olive oil in a small bowl they climb in it and drown works well

Hey, What is the humidity? leave look a bit dry. Can you get the humidity up some.....they like high humidity in veg 65% ish. I don't mind even 70% with good air flow..

Humidity us around 55-60, they got a little light burn as well. Still getting used to these new lights. I figured being in a basement my Humidity would be OK. Especially when they room gets filled with plants.

Was a busy evening in BBB's closet :)
Since my room was built somewhat hastly i had wires just running everywhere. So i re routed all power cables so i can stop tripping over the damn things all the time lol. I got my camera back out and took a few pics.

Here are the 10 small plants i took them out to water with just straight water this time. They seem to have taken to the ferts well, one does seem to have some minor burning it also seems to be the runt of the bunch.

My three big plants are going great as well. Two of them are growing like indicas the others is a bit odd. Has deformed and twisted leaves but seems healthy otherwise and growing well.

Lastly was playing with my camera trying to learn to take great bud shots for when mine are done. Any way here is some Wi-Fi OG I got from the dispensary( be easy its a work is progress :)

Another productive day in my closet :) Ordered some 1" Velcro tape. Made a outer panda plastic door with Velcro all the way around including the floor. Even put some high on the wall to hold the flap open when needed. Hoping this will stop any sort of light leaks when i switch to flower. So my veg closet was getting way to full, those things have really took off in the last week. So to make room in my veg closet i moved the 3 biggest plants under the big lights with the bigger plants. Will be moving them to big pots soon and switch them all to flower in the next week or so. Then i will have my 7 other plants vegging to move in as i find males. All plants got a good fert feeding today. Big plants got the week 4 veg ferts of fox farms and will be getting the sledgehammer flush before switching over. The smaller plants got the week 2 veg ferts of fox farm.

New flap open.

Closet all sealed up.

All my babies together

So things are moving along here. I came into my closet yesterday to find this on one of my babies.

So I learned something, the plant will show its sex under 18/6. I was getting ready to switch over this week anways. So last night I was busy obviously removing that dude from my grow room. Next I moved the three smaller plants in my flower closet into their 7 gal final homes. Followed that with a fox farms sledgehammer flush before I switch lights over to 12/12 tonight.

So tonight I found these nice little hairs on one of the other big plants :)

So here is how things are looking now.

Veg Closet: They are going big and healthy that little closet is running out of room lol

Here is my flower closet.

One final question/concern my "flower room" has the lights currently at 18/6, the problem is in order to get the ideal times for my 12/12 they will have to sit under light for about 22 before the 12/12 kicks in. Hope it doesn't mess anything up.

Not to worry about the time switching, some go with a 24 hr dark period before the switch 22 hrs on is just a good days light I ran 24/7 for a while and 20/4 I'm back on 18/6 ...a few extra hours on won't screw anything up/

How we doing tonight. Things are moving along nicely here. Got the camera out so you all can have a bit better picture of the progress. Now that i have swicthed to flower i have started labeling the pots with numbers to help keep track of time in flower and feeding schedules, which i just bought a calender for the grow room to help keep track of everything.

So here is #1 this lady has been growing weird to whole time. I dunno why every other plant is growing fine this one is growing deformed foilage. Any Ideas? This does seem to more of a sativa style plant based on leafs and structure.

Say Hello to #2 this lady is growing beautifully. She seems to be healthy and loving life, definitely more of a indica i would guess.

Here are #3 #4 and #5 these have not showed sex yet and i would of rather let them veg more but you will see why in a bit.

So here is my veg closet and it is getting out of control. I am trying to hold off moving them over, so i did something i never done before. I topped all the plants in veg, figured it would slow them down just a bit untill i can clear some room up in there.

Lastly I just want to thank everyone who has taken the time to look at my journal. Really appreciate all the advice as i need lots right now. Here is a picture of me enjoying my garden time :)
