First time grower with SILS on micro grow

[gizmo666]

Im kinda of affraid of hps, but i want to try some 250w or 150w, maybe in the next winter, but what i would really like is a 75w cmh to go along with my sils and for the size of my grow, i guess it would be good in the winter..
In the summer is impossible here

if the hps scares you why not try a 300w cfl
i used one and had really good results with it or go LED but they are a bit pricey

sampas just now you should be feeding
1ml/l grow
4ml/l bloom
4ml/l top max

buds are looking the bizz

Yeah, that's similar to what I'm doing, but I've done the full switch to bloom nutes.

Maybe I did that a bit too soon?

I don't really know how to judge the stages of plant growth yet.


And yeah Sampas, your plants are looking great.
Better than my first attempt.
Especially considering how hard you tried to kill them at the start. Lol

gizmo i have that chart, i was decided to follow it but since i didnt want to overfeed them and i mix 2 both of their soils, i didnt do it, i just forgot the detail of keeping the microbial activity well feed, a mistake i will not commit in the next grow for sure.
Its stupid because i have read about it some time ago, well, crash and learn

Im on the way of doubling the nutes in that chart because they are 2 in the same pot, if it goes wrong its a bummer but i will learn something ao thats a plus.

Btw, cfl dont catch my mind. I thought about the cmh because of the good things that they add to the environment etc that cfls dont. Im not worried by the cold, my oil heater done its job in a room with the window open 24h day sometimes with 0~5c for some days, and with the controller i only spented 15€ of electricity with everything running, at least since i added the watt meter.
Also i added the halogen for some warmth (did i say it right?) on the leafs, so the hps/cmh would only be to have fun and experiences, keeping the things funny and interesting you know?
Thanks guys, im trying hard to be sucessfull in this i hope i get the pay in the end, and most of it is because of all of you too

Yeah buds, they come a long way and you were right from the start when you said that they will get there taking less or more time, even with me trying to kill them lkkkk
Dont forget buds, i think depending on what we feed them, every charts are a bit of a guiddance, take them into consideration, but not strictly. You think that because of what reiko said in your thread, try in the window sil.


I watered my auto, i water with 1.5l bottle with tiny holes on the lid. I pour the water only on the sides of the pot, and i turn it around while i pour it. She take it up like a champ only 100ml +/- of run off, but the pot ended up less heavy compared with the other waterings.
Also i get excited with her and changed some branches locations to be in the areas that i read most lux in the grow, she went to sleep 45mnts later than usual, thats life darling
All sleepy

Some buds that were covered by some fans

That i tucked

I have all of them, except the most beautifull one that i cuted to add to my dry leaf collection

Mrs skunk was already asleep

Peace

Older / day 37 auto / mrs skunk

Older / day 37 auto / mrs skunk

Today nothing different, just the usual daily update
The auto blue amnesia looks good, all of the leafs are with a healthy green, any signs of def or tox

My skunk also its good, take the cuts like a champ, im going to feel the rest of the pot with soil to cover the root lumps in the main stalk in the next watering
Both

On the other cab, i think im in the good direction in doubling the ammount of nutes, the girl on the right side that was always droopy today was the first day in almost 2 weeks that i see her perky and praying a bit and also in one of the bud sites there is a bit of trichs on the buds leafs so that 2 things tells me that im going in the good direction

Its not very noticeable in the pics tho

Today is watwring day for them and its the last day of doubling the nutes transition that i begin one week ago the chart says 4ml/l of grow im going to give them 8ml. On the bloom they say 3ml im going to give them 6. And from today im going to add more at each watering and see how they react.

I dunno properly in what stage of flowering they are.
They take 60 days to reach flowering and they are advertised at harvest for 65 days from seed so....
I think they are going growing slowly like they did in veg. I need to keep in mind the maturation of the buds..need to research a bit about it and i need to start thinking how im going to dry them. Im thinking in the same cab, the temps are good, the rh too, air movement, dark so i think it will work good. Need to see good examples to make sure i do it right, a slow 15 days dry before jarr it. Also need to buy the jarrs.

Peace

This is what I've got.
It's cheap but it works fine, and it's got a light.

 

[Sampas92]

Lights

Lights

I changed all of my lights of the bigger cab.
6x Philips 7.5w 806lm 4000k 107lm/w
I choose this spectrum because i think its the best overall to use from seed to harvest

Not so blueish now

My auto 3 hours after sunrise

Some roots saying hi

Day 38

Only yesterday the lowest side branches have the top bus fully formed and ready to start to grow

[Sampas92]

My older girls are looking the same but the girl on the left is saying tha is enough of nitro after yesterday watering by the tip of her leafs, the girl on the right wants more tho

Now that i have bulbs not in use, im thinking in making a clone/mother/transporter pc case, im planning something but it will take a bit of time do to it.

Peace

Your camera takes some pretty good closeups.
You get a good view of the trichs.
