First Grow - A.M.S. Feminised

**darkmatter** · 10-15-2007, 07:53 PM

Hello everyone! Let me first say that I am excited about posting here after about a month of researching this forum. I must say that I found so much information here.

About the grow:

seeds: 5 Feminised A.M.S. from Dr. Chronic and one so-so bagseed

Had 5 Strawberry Haze Fems also, but alas, they formed a tap root, but tha was all. Damn shame because that would have been some a great smoke.

Lights: 2 - 200 Watt fluorescent lights/ electronic ballast and reflector for vegetation and 1 600 Watt HPS for flowering

Medium: Fox Farm Light Warrior

Closet Dimensions: 2 x 5 x 8

Bagseed potted on 9-27-07

A.M.S. potted on 10-10-07

The one bagseed has been vegging for 3 weeks now. It was potted in (don't hate me) Miracle Grow and was vegging under a 23 watt CFL for two weeks until I got the 2 flouros and has since been re-potted. It had nute-lockout from a very low ph. When I got the ph meter, I flushed and it seems to be doing better. If someone thinks there is something else wrong with it, please let me know.

the 5 others have now been in the medium for 5 days now (since germination in a terrarium). They also seems to be doing good.

The ph of the run-off is hovering around 6.5 and the temp range is 73-80F.

Some pics here. That's all for now.

hahah i also have a.m.s too!! looks good now..but its still in vegging..so we'll see!

Well, 4 of the A.M.S's are doing just fine, but the 5th on is very small. I hope it starts to catch up soon. The 3 week old looks like it's in a little trouble. It's got rust colored spots on the 2 biggest fan leaves and the next 2 biggest fan leaves are now showing signs of this also.

I flushed it with ph 7 water and then flushed with one quart water and one teaspoon Epsom salt as I think it has a magnesium deficiency. IF anyone has a better diagnosis as to what is happening, please let me know.

4 long months to go.

That is all.

looking very good man

Well, I forgot my camera at work today, so no new images. All the plants are doing just fine with some new growth.

I watered this morning with about a cup and a half ph balanced water with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. The PH of the run-off is right around 7 and the temp is a nice 78 degrees as it was a little warm out today.

The oldest of the bunch seems to be getting a little better and will continue to monitor very closely.

That is all.

Well bad news today. I lost one A.M.S. It just didn't want to grow. I had to make room or a back-up I had germinating. Just bagseed, however. Still waiting on more seeds from the good Dr.Chronic. Since the Strawberry Haze was a dud, he is sending Cosmic Nights and a freebie.

And more bad news, 3 week old lost a lot of leaves and not too sure if she'll recover. The growth at the top seems to be doing great, but the rust spots seem to keep appearing. There are no rust colored spots at the moment.

The other 4 A.M.S seem to be doing good. I just wish they would grow faster.

I think we got a female. I just hope she recovers.

Didn't forget my camera today.

That is all.

This is a link for reference to some info and images for Cosmic Nights, which I will be receiving shortly from Dr. Chronic.

That is all.

Well, Looks like I might loose another AMS, along with the 4 week old. They are just not looking good. The others just don't seen to be growing, but I am sure that they will be fine. Should have the Cosmic Night seeds real soon and the other seeds I have germinating will replace the ones that didn't make it. A couple of weeks behind with a few plants is better than a few months, I guess.

That is all.

About ready to place some cracked seeds in the terrarium to replace the ones that I lost. Got some more soil and nutrients for when they need it. Just a few more hours to warm up the rock wool and then the seeds go in.

Got a bag of Fox Farm Organic Soil and Fox Farm Big Grow which is specifically for veg growth after being in the soil for 3 weeks.

I think that that only one plant is going to make it. The others just don't want to grow as the pictures show.

A few more images on the next page.

That is all.
