Day 34 from Seed

Day 34 from Seed

Well Im going into week 3 of veg, things are going great. I think I made a mistake by filling in the voids with loose rocks, I tried to moved the little guys on the outsides... well when i lifted it out of the rocks a bunch of roots got ripped off.. so i put it back and didn't attempt to move anymore..

I got my R/O/DI filter.. thing blew up on me the first time i used it, they forgot one lil pvc connector and the hose pops out and water sprays everywhere.. fun times lol, I siliconed it in and the thing works pretty good now.

Heres some shots of the ladies, the one nearest the blue leds is looking super bushy.. the one in the back center is still towering over her sisters.. the ones in the corners are suffering a bit.. but then again they were the runts to begine with, i placed my four biggest ones in the center under the light.

This is the bushy one.. i think its cause of the led.. i wish i had a better way to hang it.. but it would get in the way of the MH

Day 42 - First Day of 12/12

Day 42 - First Day of 12/12

Hey guys, my ladies are looking very nice, have been filling in quiet nicely.

I got a good deal on a gallon of Floranova Bloom.. so I've decided to go with that for blooming.

So I only have about 30" of room to work with, and they have reached about 15" so I've decided to flip to 12/12, changed the mh bulb to hps...

Heres some shots

you should put the big ones on the sides and the short ones in the middle, itll make a 'dish' shape and light will penetrate better.
nice start when you going to flip? soon?
you might want to trim some of the bottom branches not pulling through...

Yah, I previously tried to move one of the small ones, and roots got ripped off.. I'm going to have to fish out all that loose rock i have in order to move them.... Something I'm not really looking forward to but yah i am going to do that tommorow night.

I have already flipped to 12/12 and changed my bulb to hps... as for cutting off branches, I just ordered a clonebox last night, I'm going to build a areo cloner on friday and chop some lower branches off for mothers... Its something Im kinda nervous about.. the guide i have doesn't really have much on trimming.. know any good threads?

Man i just switched to floranova yesterday... and my plants smell better today then ever I think it was a good switch

ok dont transplant ANYTHING!!!
id clone the tops of the big ones and the side bottom branches (giving the shorter ones more room)
i saw the netbaskets i thought they all had them, after a second look i see its just your tub flooded with pebbels. thats OK! youll do some damage if you move her! i thought it was as easy as moving the netpot around.

i like thoes too.
the floranova is decent nutes ive used it before.

Yah i thought the roots would be in the light so i put some rocks in the spaces... they do all have net pots tho... you live and learn... it won't matter next run cause i plan on doing a 36 clones with no net pots
Will it be ok that Im cutting them on friday, when they have been in flower for a week? As for taking clones off the tops of the big ones, I was thinking about topping them... but from what Ive read its bad to take clones from the top shoots...

damn static. not so noob after all. shit is looking good homie. i finally got my clones into my main chamber so i'm right behind ya. this oughta be pretty sweet.

 

[fideralala]

looking good. Whats your EC/mS at the Moment? Seems as if they could need a tad more of the good stuff ^^. I assess from pictures, so double check before you're burn them

Did i get it right, your nutes don't have N in them? Probably i got sth wrong...

 

[DIGITALHIPPY]

[statictattoo]

Wow Ive been kinda lazy and havent updated.... Well things are going good.. got the clonebox yesterday... half of my clones are looking ok the other half look like their dying.... My plants wont stop growing!!!!! I ran out of head space I dunno what Im gonna do now... Have to tie them down i guess... grrr heres some pics from the weekend... Ill have a real update once i clean up in there a bit and have a chance to take pics

Day 57 - Beginning of week 3 of Flower

Day 57 - Beginning of week 3 of Flower

Hey everyone, thanks for the support

I think my girls are doing pretty good...I'm trying to keep them at a ec of 2.0... Im doing 100% add backs 8/m Gal Floranova Bloom + 4mls Floralishious Plus... I should have pruned off the bottom leaves but oh well.. this was my first grow i kinda wanted to see my girls grow out with out my cutting them up.... I have been having fan leaves wilting and falling off... worries me a lil bit... I almost did a rez change this weekend... but after doing a add back my ec was pretty close to 2.0

My clones on the other hand are not looking so good... the ones from my biggest girl are still looking ok.. no signs of roots coming out of the the bottom of the rockwool cube, btw how long should i be leaving the humidity dome of for? Its been on for a week now.... most of the other clones i took are not looking very good...


My girls are starting to bud up... don't really notice a smell yet, maybe cause of my big duct fan.. i dont even have a carbon filter..
Anyways heres some pics


















I got the clonebox all set up... guess i should have taken pictures of the inside.. oh well next time..



Heh my lil room is getting kinda cramped...

 

[Mr_Puffanpass]

Should be a nice grow. Nice and tidy grow room you got there

 

[salgjkhaf]

damn dude. your girls are big and your ec is only at 2? isnt that only like 2oo ppms?

 

[statictattoo]

no 2.0 EC is about 1000 ppms at a .5 conversion... man i wish they would stop growing lol i have to tie something down every other day... i got buddage showing now
i should take some pics later

 

[salgjkhaf]

damn dude. yeah bro, you might have some space issues. i've always read on this site to switch to flowering when you reach half your hight limit.

[statictattoo]
