another go. yelodrvr

yelodrvr · #1 03-23-2009, 10:29 PM

the set up is in this grow. yelodrvr's next attempt it ended short due to a recurring personal problem. (WIFE)

if your like me and to lazy to read for the info, just ask. any advice, suggestions, or dialog is encouraged.

the seed are from nirvana, a mixed pac. included was 2 of each. afghan, skunk#1, master kush, PPP, and a breeders special.

i have to give nirvana some credit, 3 orders so far with no problems. the last one was not stealth at all, but it arrived in 4-5 days.

i germinated 6 of them in the paper towel method. folded them up and sprayed some water on them, then placed them in a baggie. i put them on the tower to the computer for the heat.

i use 1" round rockwool, these have slit down the side. i place the seedling tap root down.
IMG_1944 (Large).jpg IMG_1946 (Large).jpg IMG_1956 (Large).jpg

i use 2" net pot. i use something to hold the slit in the rockwool together. hydrontron. rubberband, or a piece of rockwool.

i use a dome for seedlings. and spray it and the net pots twice a day. i try to keep the rockwool wet, but not soaked.

january 25
after roots grow out of the bottom of the rockwool, i layer hydroptron in the bottom of a 3" net pot. i fill arounds the side of the rockwool. i either use hydrotorn to pack it rockwool into the netpot, or i will use neosprene collars.

well thats it for now. i will try to post the rest tomorow. as of today i am about 1 or 2 weeks in to flower. not for sure yet, will have to get throigh the pics to see.

i should have mentioned that when i put the seedlings in the net pots (1/31) i had moved all plants from the dome to the cloner. here is a link to a tute i put together on the cloner. http://www.marijuanagrowing.eu/clone...vr-t31484.html

i had started nutes way to late. you can see the deficiency's in the pics. i had used r/o water this time. i think the tap water in the past had enough nutes in it to sustain the plants in past grows.

i have grown bigger plants in the past. i decided to veg for a shorter time. since there where stunted growth in a few plants i flipped them on 2/15.

i started with 6. 2 are dead at this point. 2 are rather small compared to the others.

the plant in the last 2 pics had some deformities from the beginning. here are a few older pics.

things now starts to go haywire. the temps at night where getting very low. 55f sometimes. i managed the best i could but more damage was done. i think the low reservoir temp locked out the nutes. hence the pic of deficiency's. then you can see the wilting on the leaves, caused from the low temps.

its been a month since the last pics. the daughter was mad at me during this time, she took her camera and went home to mom house.

at this point i had fixed the cold temp problems by changing the lights off period to the day time, when the outside temps would be warmer. the temp used to get as low as 50f during light off. now they are back to normal. 65f-75f. only problem was that the damage was done. 3 of the 4 plants herimed on me. what would you expect with all the nute and temp problems. so there is one left. but i did start the other 4 seeds from this mixed pack of seed. i also threw in 3 bag seed, hoping maybe i could get a couple the throw outside.

i flipped this plant on feb 15 and its just now showing sex. maybe all the problems caused it to show so late. IDK. so i guess you could say this is day 1 of flower.

again the spoiled little brat and her $400 camera went home to cry to mom and i am stuck with the blackberry.

the other 4 seeds from this mixed pack of seed and a few bagseed that will come to rest in a old fishing spot of mine. they are without the neosprene collars.

everything smothed out at this point. the reservoir and room temps are consistent.

the plants in the cloner are looking much better than the last batch. after about 1.5 weeks i bumped the ppm of the cloner to 300. no defecincys. growth is good. the temps in the cloner area are much warmer than the flower. but the root seem to be ok.

i am going to borrow a good camera tonight. i will have some better pics. this pic is from yesterday. i started to see signs of sex around the 16 of march. so i guess this would be the begining of week 3 of flower.
