1st Grow

Well the pots on table 1 were still heavy today (the last time fed was Mon) so I decided to give them straight RO ph 5.9 ppm 15 in hopes of ending this lock out. Or what I think is a nute LO. Gave them about 50% more than usual.

The top leaves are yellow some appear burnt so I think I over did it with the AB. Hopefully the flushing from here forward will alleviate it and hopefully it won't affect the taste. Any idea fellow farmers. :confused: I sure as hell don't want to kill em with less than 2 wks before harvest :tree:

I also trimmed some lower fan leaves and some small bud sites along with some dead leaves up top.

Dave thanks for the advice.

Yesterday table 1 got flushed with about 50% more RO than usual to help get rid of this nute lockout. From here forward she'll get RO with some molasses and nothing else till next week than only RO.

Table 2 got fed today.

Table 2 Week 5:PBP Soil 12, HP 3.75, MO 10, FP 1, SE 10, PS 1.25, DN 5, HZ 8, CM 4, ph 5.88, ppm 1249

The SG on table 2 got a separate feeding because they're an 8 wk planty while all the others are 10. I didn't know this before hand so it won't happen again.

Table 2 Week 5 SG: PBP Soil 12, AB 1, HZ 8, FP 1, SE 10, PS 1.25 DN 5, HZ 8, CM 4, ph 5.9, ppm 1112

The only thing different the SG got was the Atom Bomb instead of the Hydroplex.

I took some pics but they didn't turn out so well so I'll take some more and post them later.

I thought I'd post again my nute line up because it can get confusing.

VEG:
Pure Blend Pro
Cal Mag
Hygrozyme
Superthrive
Pro Siilicate
Vermi Tea

FLOWER:
Pure Blend Pro Bloom Hydro wks 1-3
Pure Blend Pro Bloom Soil wks 4-8
Diamond Nectar
Liquid Karma this has been changed to Floralicious Plus
Cal Mag stop at day 40
Molasses start at day 40
Superthrive stop at week 4?
Prosilicate stop at week 6?
Vermi Tea
Seaweed Extract used instead of Verrmi Tea on table 2
Hygrozyme
Hydroplex week 2-6
Atom Bomb similar to Shooting Powder week 7-9 but I'll stop at 8

There's alot of nutes and I'm wondering if I can eliminate some and still get quality.

Time for some bud porn from table 2. The CDS is really coming along while the OG is looking a little small. The SG is an 8 weeker so I'm not sure where she's going for now but in the future she'll be gone.

OG


CDS

Sup dude. In flowering. Yeah I'd stop the silicate for sure. Um. I use floralicious plus as well as diamond nectar It's good. Ur schedule pretty good. U should be fine unless u had an idea if u wanted stop anything else now. Depending on how far along u are slowly taper off on the nutes If ur late stop the superthrive also the diamond nectar.

B & Dave I was wondering just when to stop the silicate and superthrive. Should I stop them when I show or before? I figured in flower at wk 4 more effort goes into bud production than roots that's why I stopped the ST then. The PS well I figured the stems had enough strength by then.

Feeding time for the flower room.

Table 1 Week 9: RO, MO 15, ph 5.9, ppm 290

Table 2 Week 6: PBPS 12, HP 3.75, CM 5, FP 1, HZ 8, DN 5, SE 10, PS 1.25, PH 5.9, PPM 1070

Table 2 Week 6 SG: PBPS 12, AB 2, CM 0, FP 1, HZ 8, DN 5, SE 10, PS 1.25, PH 5.9, PPM 1178

Just a reminder the Sour Grapes on table 2 is an 8 week plant while the others are 10 so they get Atom Bomb instead of Hydroplex for a bloom booster. Starting next week they'll all get the same.

When I felt the buds on the OG on table 1 they felt a little dry, not as sticky as before. Is this suppose to happen or did I mess something up? :dunno:

Last night I took the FOG & SG out of the mom room and put them into flower. Boy talk about a crowded space. The FOG is the auto flowering plant I've had in the mom room for the past 3 mos. Once she goes full flower she should have some nice cola's on her. The SG I just didn't want to keep as a mom.

I put them both on the railing between the tables. I had originally put some plants from table 2 there to open up some space on the table but ended up putting them back.

Lat night I cut off a bunch of upper fan leaves from th OG's on table 1. Most of them were yellow or had def problems. Did this so the lower buds will get a little more light and it's almost time to harvest. :tree:
I also raised the light 2" I think the ladies were getting some bleaching. I could be wrong though :thinking:

I believe I've mentioned before my gf bro's cancer has returned. Over the past few mo's I've given him some eatables from a collective. Recently I gave him some buds from my grow. Well the gf found out and she's pissed. :mad: She is not an open minded person, only looks at MJ as a drug to get high on and she doesn't get high. In the past I've sent her info on MMJ and cancer but I don't think she's read any of it, hence the attitude toward MMJ.

The Dr's are pumping him full of drugs in hopes of slowing it down but it doesn't look good. I was just trying to help him with his battle. I guess I should have told her before hand but I know how she would react, just like she is now.

Hell she was initially against my suggestion of him juicing, but after she saw what it was doing for him she changed her mind.

I'm not claiming innocence here, I should of gone to her with this before doing it. Oh well. Oh yeah she hasn't spoken to me since. She needs a little cooling off.

Hey farmers I have a question I'm hoping someone can answer. I'm looking to go lights out in flower for 24-48 hours to enhance the resin on table 1. Since table 2 is 3 weeks behind table 1 how will this effect the plants on table 2? :wave:

The only worry I would have is stressing the newer girls. Although I have had a bulb go in a small grow and I didn't get in to replace it for 24 hrs...w/no bad consequences. Let that be another reason that all the girls in my flowering room go in at the same time, so I don't have to worry about things like this...

I also have an extra ballast, extra bulbs, extra pumps etc...so I do not have to wait until the next day to replace things...

Hey Guys,
well this is my first time growing. Starting out with a 2'x5x4' veg, 2''x5'x2' clone and a 5'x8'x8' flower. Using 6"x6"x8" pots (could only find white) with ReadyGro soil less mix. In veg have a 8 bulb T-5, in flower have 2 600's, no mom's yet so no light's in clone area, probably get 2 T-5 4' strips. Also using 2 3'x3' flood trays in flower so I can flush at week 4 and 8 maybe 7 without having to move the plants. Putting 20 - 25 plants in each tray.
All I need now is some plants to put in there, looking for some OG's. Had some but they had bugs so I returned them. Now trying to find some quality, bug free OG's.

So my question is, are the pots big enough, should I paint the insides black? Hell what do you guys think of the entire set up?

Hi socachi,
Wow.. Starting with clones for your first grow.. I smell a master in the making here. Already a wise decision and you're starting out. Your setup looks good and I wanted to thank you for sharing with us. I'll keep an eye on this grow. Good luck and good growing.

Dave thanks that's what I'm concerned about the SG is an 8 wk plant so she only has 2 more to go and the others have 3. I'm trying to think of a way to section them off but it's not going to happen.

SDG thanks for the props my man. Yeah this is my 1st, never did it when I was young, never thought of doing it back in the 70's. An oz was $15 back then, of course the shits alot different now and things have changed. :tiphat:

And B thank you so much those are very kind words. Read some books, watched some videos, read thru journals on ICM, followed some direction, and got some good advice from a grower I had purchased the reflectors from. :thank you:

Harvest is next week hopefully the ladies will turn out good, no nute taste. Since I've been flushing with RO and molasses from the past week should I still use a flushing solution? Was going to pick some up today but I forgot. Big surprise huh, me forgetting.

Still need to get some mason jars or pickling containers to cure the bud in. :tree:
