Coming from SILS to Mars Hydro tsw 2000

[exploziv]

Yeah you'd probably see the larvae, they're small but definitely visible. They look like little alligators

This comes to show everyday you learn something on here. I had those in my kitchen garden and I had lacewings as well and lots of other benneficials (half the garden was bee/butterfly flower mix sowed all arounf the small garden).
I never put them togheter tho, cause i had lots of long insects besides lacewing. Now I know for sure those were lacewing larvae. Any idee if their eggs are grouped in a circular shape under leaves? White colour if I remeber well? I had lots of those and I feel those might be related to the lacewings as well.

Sorry for the offtopic, I'm really high on the swazi from my grow under mars tsw2000.

Eggs are little white beads on silk strings, sometimes in a circle, yes! But to clarify, the lacewing larvae are pale gray, and ladybug larvae have a very similar appearance but are much larger, like ladybug sized. You may have seen those, too.

Oh yeah but those i know. So yeah now i get it. I had lots of them because the flowers was their home..

Today i abused a bit of my acid kush auto..
When the day started i lst her to the left..at mid day she was almost straigth so i lst her to the right
Start of the day

Mid day

Guys anyone see signs of under or over watering?
i cant find my black domina, somango and gorilla glu trully happy i think, they always like this, kinda floppy and i cant find the sweet spot..i water more, i water less, i give more light, less light, they are always like that, i never see them pray like my bangi, my chinas, my acid kush auto..i thought about the pot being a bit small for them but when i chexk them roots i dont see the soil with so many roots that i could say that, i guess.. also they are resinous in the fan leafs, its a stress sign that i saw in my skunk in the last grow, also my mamba negra showed me the same when she stressed out after one watering some weeks back..so they are stressing a bit, and the growth is very slow now and i cant pick why in my newbiness

When you look at them what is the first thing comes to your mind?

I like the green of my taller kali on the right compared to the bangi, light green beautifull, also she is a drinker

My jack herer x black domina have the 4 tops so even, i will top her again

My og kush, seems a bit pale, but she seems happy for now (floppy because she was watering in the pic

I dont have pics of it today but i must say that i think that if i topped my acid kush auto would slow her quite a bit and why i say that?yesterday when i lst her, i pinched the stem in 2 different places to do a big curve, but one of them was with my nail and i kinda hurt her, and today the fan leaf that is in the side of the scar is considerably small that her counterpart that dont have scar in the stem, maybe im explaining it wrong but tomorrow with pics you guys will understand what im saying unless the fan picks up the pace


Also all of them are drinking more water, because of 3 reasons, the first i said it some days earlier, because of the new light, the days have been hotter and less rh, but for example, i have one acid kush under sils (27k and 65k) flowering with the same temps and rh but it doesnt drink so much water and its in a stage where it should be the one drinking more, curious, also i think that at this stage and under the Mars light it would be eating more, maybe it was better for her?dunno


Peace

Hey, everything looking pretty good here! About the unhappy plants, if you tried everything else maybe it's the low humidity you say you are having?
Are they like this even on days with higher rh?

The red petioles in the first pic may suggest repotting, even if not rootbound it would surely be beneficial. look at this post of VerdantGreen and also 2-3 posts above this one:

Repotting is not a bad ideea. i don't see signs of overwatering but with that little soil and depending on watering schedule.. underwatering is a real possibility.

Hey sampas your grows looking good
Take it your enjoying the Mars lights
Quite surprising the difference they make
Take care

Hey Sampas,your plants are very cute and healthy!

When you look at them what is the first thing comes to your mind?

Ι'd transplant them.Keeping plants in so small pots isn't always very easy.I am not sure I could bring to the finish line a healthy plant in such a small pot with just biobizz nutes.Whenever I had to,I amended the soil with some solid organic slow release ferts.

And,very important,small pots need constant humidity.More waterings ,a small plate under the pot to hold the runoff(I let small plants in runoff no prob). You need more frequent waterings if you keep them in this pot size.

First of all, thank you all that drop the opinion, and yes you guys are right, you will see in a bit

So yesterday i talked something about hurting the acid kush etc etc..let me show you what i was saying
Do you see a fan leaf that is smaller than her "twin"?

This is when i bent her, the problem was in the higher one, when i mistankenly used the nail of my finger

how it looks today

also i have tuck the big fans under the lower branches to promote growth

She started to tell me she is a female about 4 days ago, so is not far from starting flowering

About Flowering, some pics of what to expect, thin leafs

she is a healthy girl, without any mark of anything nutrient related apart from this, it just a fade, but its there

she been mainly in water, just a bit of grow and calmag and epsom here and there and and the first and second node still look healthy as the first day so im very happy but i think i need to raise the mag a bit

my red diesel looks droppy because of watering also i think she also is a bit rootbound, also she is telling me to raise the nutes so i did today lets see how she presents in the next days..also im thinking to take her out of her pot, remove a bunch of soil, like a mom, 2 weeks before changing the light cycle, i think she will like that since i dont want her in a bigger pot

Regarding the unhappy girls you guys were right, they seem to need a bigger pot, and i think my chinas and bangi will need that too soon even if they dont show any signs of it until now, see the roots for yourself
Bangi (happy as a labradoodle)

Chinas (one labradoodle, one pinsher stressed out with ph)

Somango (droopy)

Black domina (droopy)

Gorilla glue (droopy)

Og kush (happyish but purpling, petioles too)

Mamba negra (new growth looks good but the older leafs look so ugly im ashamed of showing them)

Jack herer x domina ( the only one showing me N def, also screaming for a bigger pot, purple stems and petioles)

my chinas, i love them both even if so different from each other, amazing, and i can see that the bigger china, due to its amazing growth all over, will be in a bit smaller pot than the other girls, i mean, look at that, taller as the bangi, big side branches, she will take over at some point, i can see that and also i see it in the kalichinas thread, it will be a chalenge for sure but im looking foward to it

My bangi seems not so branchy, i wonder if like the jack herer x black domina she will branch out when topped to clone wich i must say the cut looks very beautifull and perfect in all means from what i imagine after looking at her today

Talking about cloning, the top of the mamba negra has roots, a single solitary root, not capable of stand outside the container today but its a succes and tomorrow another day to test it again..the og top didnt root yet and dont seem very healthy i dont have pics but i will have in the future

Gang pic

Also, in the cab right next to the tent, the happy mistreated acid kush, healthy as fuck in my eyes, maybe a bit too dark, and the forgoten seed makers red diesel auto reg

sorry for the long post

Peace

 

[Sampas92]

My acid kush auto 2 days after tucking the big fans turned a beautifull bush very even in my opinion, she is developing good, i dont want to clip any fan, also i think she is telling me that she is going to start stretch soon, at this time the light remains at a bit over 25% at 65cm from her and i dont want to turn it up for now, everyone looks good, also i need to pot up some girls

My acid kush flowering started to fill in, smells beautifully but under my sils i almost dont notice any smell in the room where the grow is so im happy for now but i think under the tsw2000 it will be different

All of them look a bit droopy because i watered them at half of the light cycle, i dont like it but i cant water them at lights out in these days because im not at home

My first harvested seeds from my red diesel auto reg, 2 small plants, this are from the taller one and there are still much more

Obs. My smaller china is presenting purple stems on the fans and petioles but honestly i dunno if its because the pot is small or genetic..the taller one dont show any colour besides green, and my bangi display some but i feel is because of the light somehow..

the unhappy girls in smaller pots started to show n def, the 3 of them, the most hungrier is the black domina, lets see how she feels tomorrow..

Peace

Everything looks good so far. keep up the nice work. :yay:

 

[Sampas92]

Since in the past days i was thinking the Acid Kush Auto was starting to get ready to stretch i raised the light a bit in heigth and power, gradually everyday until almost 50%, 60~65cm distance from her, i define the humidity settings on 55% (when the weather alows it), also in need to plug the heater, i dont think it will run a lot but now my grow is sitting on 23~25c and lights on and i want it at 25~27c

i notice she is bit wider, taller, maybe reaching for the light but the reality is that she is grow quite good from day to day, maybe already started to stretch a bit..as she continues i will raise the light to keep distance and gradually raise the power, i dont want to get too excited and burn her and all the others..

the first time i check under the vulcanic rock, im happy

just to keep in the same page, some under the rocks fuzzy roots from my thickest girl, my smaller kali china

well since i need to update my shitty low cost tent regarding light leaks all over, i decided to get a Mars Hydro tent, same footprint as mine. 1m2, but instead of 2m in heigth it has 1.80m, is not assembled yet because i need some time for it and it will need to wait just a few days for it...
a pic just for you to see the difference between mine and what arrived, quality seems way superior

peace

 

[Sampas92]

So today i assembled the new tent..in terms of sturdiness is on par with the old one, a bunch of sticks cannot be very sturdy but the tent itself is way better quality than the old one..thicker cloth, thicker reflective wall and more reflective..the zipper is smother to run and i like a lot the bunch of ports to insert cables or ducts for intake and extract, also the window in the front door is something i like alot, overall, much better tent than the old one and comparing the price of both, the one of mars becomes cheaper because of what delivers. I would like to have the older tent for veg wtc, but for now i dont have the space ans unfortanly the inflation is starting to notice here in europe, and speacially in the Iberian Penisula where the electricity is going to rise quite a bit in October, its ridiculous the excuse they gave for that but what we can do? Fuck them

My acid kush everyday is bigger and also i notice growth from the beginning to the end of the day, overall an happy and healthy girl. The only downsize is that she could have a bigger pot

since im at home i will pot up some of the girls, the pot will not be much bigger, because i still need some ducts to make a passive intake with light traps to flower them all

Peace

 

[Sampas92]

Pot up done

straped the top of my acid kush auto

Peace

 

[Sampas92]

So after 3 days of poting up all of the girls look better, on the new growth obviously and how they present themselves..

my bangi

My 2 chinas, the china yunnan leaning one dont look much smaller now but it branches a lot less compared to the sativish one, both of them are very elegant girls

The black domina, the gg and the somango all look better but there is that yeallow tips that i cant quite figure it out why they are still there

My jack herer will remain like this, with 4 tops, when approaching flowering time i will clean her a bit, i will aim for 2 to 4 tops on this girl, the og kush and the gg, black domina and somango for sake of space inside the tent when they are all flowering inside because i want a more natural grow on the chinas and the bangi and for what i have looked in their threads i will need the saved space

My acid kush didnt do well in these last days after bending her and i guess it was because she was getting too much light by all of her instead of the majority in the cannopy, she looked droopy in the end of each day, like she was tired, but during the first part of the light cycle she didnt look truly happy to say the truth, since i thought it was too much light i raised the light to the maximum and dialed it at 50%, second day she look the same to not say worst so i dialed the lights down to between 25 and 50%, she looks better today, because i can see she streched while in these last days she didnt, so i will keep the light as it is now, still in doubt if those purple stems are from the light or something nutrient related

About purpling, you see these pics, any opinion regarding the purple in just the petiole? Its the other acid kush auto that is finishing flowering (btw the worst plant i grew, shame on me)

another thing that its been tingling on my mind, that bag with the seed inside..the one half brownish half yealowish..its a mature seed, or the brownish part is mold? This plant is finishing maturing..i ask because all of the seeds that i had collected are from sacs like that one, i feel the seed already detached itself from the plant but still in that not firm enclosure, i guess its matured and ready to be collected?

Sunrise today

Peace
