1200w soil grow - 1st timer

[bterzz]

Thanks Rich!

Heres some more pictures guys. I forgot to water and they were droopy when I woke up. The funny thing is I woke up unusually early and checked on my girls right away, so they could not have been droopy for more then a couple hours. Gave them some nice fresh PH'd water and thats it. They'll bounce back up as soon as the lights come on. This strain seems to droop tons at night too.

By looking at the leaves, should I add some calmag to my water to get rid of the curl?

 

[Sammet]

Hey Bterzz - the girls look perfect to me, really healthy and green (although they look thirsty!). What leaf curl are you talking about? Not sure that Cal-Mag will fix it, but it's a good additive to use in general and most on here use it - shame I can't get it easily in the UK- anyway, I can't see that it'd hurt any.

Here's an old shot of my temp gun - it has a little laser pointer so you can see where it's aiming.



When are you planning on switching into flower cycle? With that air-cooled hood you should be able to get the light pretty close - and it's quite beneficial too - you get lots more power (lumens) into your plants. The back of the hand test is a good one, if you can hold your hand under the light for a couple of minutes without it feeling like it's burning then it's Below is my 600W air-cooled hps in a 1.2m squared tent (about 13square feet) and I always keep it within about 12" of the tops of my plants with no problems at all.



Keep up the good show mate, that's going to be some tasty smokeables in there.

Now thats some good shit Sammet! your girls look so vigorous and pretty!!

Im going to borrow my dads temp gun. Thing could be super handy!!

I'm going to start flowering after my next water/feed. Going to pump her with some Grow big (high Nitrogen to get me through the flower cycle), and some Open Sesame. I was actually considering getting some AN Collossal Bud Blast. I heard that stuff is amazing!

As far as the lights in flowering, I hope to get them as close as possible! The good news is i'll be running 2 600w in flower so im going to wait until those 12 get nice and big so I can put 6 under each light nice and efficiently. I'll also be running them from 8 at night until 8 in the morning.

The girls look thirsty because they WERE!!! Not in those pictures, but shortly before that, my girls began to wilt because I simply forgot to water. I caught them quick enough and gave them some fresh AQUA.


Here is a better picture of the leaf curl i was talking about. The edges of the leaves curl up like a taco.

Sometimes when they make canoes like that it's because of high temperatures.

But I'm lookin' at that thermometer and I think it reads 81 if I'm not mistaken. Which should be fine...

Are they browning at all or do my eyes decieve me?

 

[bterzz]

Hey man. No browning what so ever. They actually are getting less-worst then they were (they got a bad taco shell from super low humidity and over-watering) but whatever. We'll see if it grows out of it 100%. Cant hurt to add a little calmag anyway.

3/3

 

[Germanator]

Looking good so far bro. Are you running both the lights yet or just the one until they overgrow it? leaf drooping is not uncommon during light out, so I would not pay it much attention.

Wait until that entire room has a dense canopy and flip them ladies.

Great first run so far.

Lovely plants bterzz!!!
They sure will pack for you!
Keep up the good work.

 

[Sammet]

Excellent stuff - they're going to give a massive harvest. You enjoying the grow bterzz? All looks stellar.

 

[unta]

Nice, I like the side-by-side comparison. Always nice to see real evidence to justify using one product or doing something in your grow. Little something I picked up from Al B Fuct. Anyone remember him over at RIU?

 

[bterzz]

Unta, I opened my Big bud tonight and it almost made me throw up. I'm throwing it out and i'm going to have to use strictly Beastie Bloomz for this one.

sorry to let you down lol I was looking foward to the comparison.

Sammet, you know this bro! Dont enjoy anything more at this point in time.
