First Grow - Auto Ak47 fems (+ OG kush reg)

SmashOnya · Aug 17, 2010

Ok so, This is my first grow, pretty much for research and a hobbie type thing..

I started with 5 fem ak47 autos from lowlife, 4 germed..
3 of them are just over 3 weeks, one of them died (which i think was due to me too aggressively removing husk)

I also recently put two og kush (reg) seedlings in the box with the ak's..

Heres the setup:

Foxfarm soil in 5 litre pots

approx 250 watts CFL (4 bulbs in standup lamp) the rest mounted in socket adapters in power bars on lid of box

its a 2 1/2 foot high by 3x3 box all painted white with
a 10" intake fan (comp fan hooked to 12v adapter) and
a 5" exhaust fan that runs right into a DIY carbon scrubber (pencil cup , carbon method)

So yeah, they didnt get any nutes for the first 2 1/2 weeks (besides what is in soil) but I gave them some Tiger Bloom a few days ago with water..

I am completely open to new suggestions, critisims and thoughts about the project as I am fairly new to the whole idea..

The og kush seeds are nothing to talk about yet, very small, but I will post some pics of the Ak's tonight

note: one of them is kinda mutant like (it has curled sideways bottom leaves, and the main cola isnt growing at the same rate as the new side branches..)

Is there some kind of trick to gettng feedback/discussion on here or
is it that no one gives a shit about my newbie ass grow? Lol

whats up, newbie like yourself, very interested in your set up as im considering something very similiar, how hard was the carbon scrubber to make? still trying to find decent plans for one, and how many lights you running exactly?

Carbon scrubber was easy, just googled. Dyi carbon filter/scrubber
its the pencil cups one, however it isnt blocking 100% smell.

I have 6 4 watt lights on lid of box and 3 27's in a mini lamp
down bottom for side/lower growth and bud sites

they are now a month old and seem to be suffering from somethng
im not sure of (yellow lower leaves, droopy brown edged leaves all
over plants).

Im hoping it isnt too severe and will post new pics soon to see if
anyone can diagnose on here.
