Sativa grow on the way...

[Tayla]

Hi

I'm just getting started on my 5th grow in a new setup. It was a year since my last grow - I've been moving around a bit and haven't found a place suited for this until now. So my setup is totally new and needs some testing and adjusting during this grow for future grows to be even better.

For now I've got a 250w MH in an area 45x55cm and aprox 150 in high (though lamp and fan takes some room at the top).

Later on I will switch to a 250w HPS.

The seeds for this grow are Citral Skunk x Haze Special.

I'm still just getting started so it'll take a while before the bud-pics are coming but please feel free to comment anyway.

I'm 25 f from southern sweden. Previous grows where posted at OG and all the pics dissapeared :/ But I did try SOG, SCROG and LST. My favourite strains are Purple Haze (haven't grown this one myself - hard to find) and Twilight (dp - outdoors plant but grows well inside aswell).

looking forward to this grow and hope everything works out all-right

All right. Let's get rolling.

Hi,

here are some pics of the small ones, there are 3 this size..

Temps are steady at 29-35 C. Rh is still low...



couple of days later:








They don't look very sativa to me.. but the mix has some citral in it so maybe that's dominating more than I thought, haven't tested theese seeds before and haven't read or seen anything about them either.. I had some other seeds from a friend that said he got them in Jamaica but they wouldn't germinate... Hopefully one of theese is a female...

Hi!

I've repotted today to bigger (tecu 15).

The top left is a bushweed plant and the other 3 are Citral Skunk x Haze Special. They stopped growing cause I was late with the transplant but I hope they will recuperate quickly now. Do you think adding some Rhizotonic (canna) will help minimize the transplant chock?






Temps are down in the pics cause I had the door open while working.. Normally they are around 30. I have the lights on 24hrs/day since I can't aford a timer yet (I'll get one next week).

I noticed my big pots were to big, I can only fit 2 in there so I'm going to flower some clones in another area later on and hopefully get at least 2 females, choose the 2 that I feel like growing out and switch to 12/12 in my main growarea - while revegging the clones to make mothers in my smaller one.

Take care all

I ended up with a different set of plants than planned. Now I have a CS x HS - probably female - just started showing preflowers, one unknown strain (bushweed) female, and a Skunk Special from a friend (female seeds).

I only have room for 2 big pots in there but I haven't decided yet if I should keep the bushweed or Skunk Special ( it would be fun to grow the bushweed and see if I can get something nice out of it, also the SS is smaller and slow-growing because of some ph-problems in it's youth). What do you think?

I'm going to repot when I'm certain the csxhs is a female - tomorrow or the next day.

New pics in a couple of days after transplant.
take care

Today I transplanted 2 of them into bigger pots. I watered with rhizotonic (canna) but I don't know if that'll make any difference.

I took a couple of clones from the csxhs because I have room for 2 more small pots so I can flower a couple more plants and get maybe 10-15grams more.

I'll wait a week or 2 before switching to 12/12 (so the clones can root).










the unknown looks a bit weak but I recon it'll be allright....

[Tayla]

Switched to 12/12 a couple of days ago. My healthiest plant looks great and has really got bushy. The other (unknown) is getting better aswell, the new growth looks normal though the old still has the U-look of the leaves.

I'm still not a 100% sure the nice one is a female, but I have seen one single female preflower - just can't find it anymore









Hoping for flowers showing soon.

Have 3 clones still no roots but they look healthy and show signs of rooting..

[Tayla]

Flowering for 1 week now and I've switched to the HPS (250w).
The largest plant is my Citral skunk x Haze special and I'm glad it's so healthy but it takes most of the closet space and light

The other plants are 2 CS x HS clones, newly rooted and just put into the flowering chamber, 1 bushweed plant, looks like it's suffering but it's got three tops so I hope it'll still produce some weed and 1 skunk special in a pot that will no doubt be to small but I can't fit any bigger - hopefully it won't be a waste.













I've also got a clone in another cab on 18/6 with 125w CFL - this will hopefully become a small and neat bonsai mom...

Looking good to me, my swedish cousin.

I'm dreaming of growing haze strains, but that won't work out with cfl's. But I do have Apollo11 in there.

Alright, another 250 grow..........should work out nice for ya.

Is that praying for Mg that I see?

Thanks for your post!
If you mean what I think you mean you could be right (the leaves of the unknown plant getting U-shaped) I've just let it be and hoped it'll sort itself out but I guess it didn't. I'm on a small budget and it's not the plant I'm caring the most about right know. But if you mean anything else please elaborate. I've thought about throwing everything out and just keeping my biggest healthiest plant but I don't know what will give me more pleasure in the end

Yellowmoon: Thanks! Since this was a mix I thought it would be all right but it really streches and streches and looks like it'll never stop ;D I hope it doesn't outgrow my closet =)

Take care!

Great to have another 250W grower!

Your setup is very nice and clean. I love the simplicity :smile:

I too am fond of the DP outdoor strains...I've yet to try Twilight

Your flowering plants are looking nice and healthy...was the female sexuality confirmed?

Best of luck with your new grow

 

[Tayla]

TML26: Hi! Thanks for the post They are all girls I had 2 males in there but I removed them before switching to 12/12, luckily the preflowers were very easy to spot

take care!

Epsom salts for Mg..............should clear things up.......cheap too!

In the end, it's the knowing you did your best and ya don't have to grow again just to prove it!

I'm sorry I still don't understand you fully. I don't care enough about the wierd plant to spend money on it I'm actually considering throwing it out becasue of the space-issue. If you are talking about another plant please let me know.

I don't get what you mean about "it's the knowng you did your best and ya don't have to grow again just to prove it!" maybe it's some kind of a misunderstanding?

My english isn't the best so a longer explenation with different words might help.. thanks for your interest =)

Take care!

Here's some pics of the one plant I like the most. Maybe I should give her all the 250w for herself?

[TML16]

The plant looks very nice Tayla

You should be able to fit a couple of girls under the 250W...might as well use up all the lumens it has to offer :wink:

Epsom salts are a must in the grow room. I use epsom with every second feeding. It helps the plants process the nutrients better I find. Will take care of any Mg def too :smile:

Looking forward to seeing how that monster stretches out

 

[Tayla]

Thanks for the post, I'll try to check out some epsom if I can. Hopefully the girl won't outgrow my closet =)

Here are some new pics =)

Today I took a look at the plants I don't really care about, they are in the back with limited light but still they are showing some budsites and the one to the left actually looks healthy still. That's Skunk Special in a 3L (tecu 15) pot. It'll no doubt be to small for the plant to finish in but it's not bothering me to have it there.

The plant to the right is the unknown that has a mg-def and doesn't like my closet at all. I did a real bad job transplanting it aswell...


The next pics are of my pride and joy


The buds are starting to show



I can't raise my light any more and the space is getting a bit cramped, but I have a solution for that later on.




Here are some closeups that I like =)





take care!
