My First Grow - Super Lemon Haze

**KryptKeepa** · 05-09-2011, 05:31 PM

(My Grow Dream: Ebb n Flow 4 (4x4) trays: 2.5 Week, SoG. 1 4x4 Mother / clone Room.)
Super Lemon Haze @ 10 Week Flowering from Clones into Lollipops.

4x 1000w HPS each tray.
1x 1000w MH Mother Room.
Lucas Formula for the Nutrients.

Thats the basics.... I'll be adding in more as It comes together.

All comments welcome and also encouraged.

I'm Currently 1 week in from Germination, so i'm going to write my daily logs down here a week at a time.

April 29th: seeds arrived started germination.

May 2nd: 4 of 5 seeds have popped, I have plated these in rock wool cubes.

May 3rd: Adjusted PH of the water in the rock wool to 5.6, currently using mineral water.

May 4th: The seedlings are almost to the top of the rock wool. I suspect in 24 hours all seeds will have breached the surface. The 5th seed germinated today I will plant this late bloomer tomorrow.

May 5th: All seedlings have breached the surface, 2 of which are standing tall, I assume they will drop the husk by tomorrow at some point. Placed seedlings under a nanotech t5 light about 1.5-3 inches away.

May 6th: Natural Leaves showing.

May 7th: plants shot up and got to close to the light, one of the natural leafs on a plant is slightly burnt. The 5th germinated seed is catching up.

May 9th: All plants are looking great, except the burnt one, but he does have the strongest root mass to date. All seedlings are between 2.5 Inches height and .5-1 inch width.

May 10th: I added an oscillating fan to the room today put it on a low setting just to keep the leaves moving a little. I also placed all my rock wool cubes into 5 inch net pots with expanded clay.
They are going to remain sat like this for about a week until I fill the tray with expanded clay and actually start feeding them. All plants second set of leaves are starting and look very healthy.
The one damaged plants condition is not worsening, so no worries.

I am assuming the burn is from the plant reaching up quickly and touching the light.
So i'm not to worried about it, there a safe distance now.

May12: Today I got a bunch of new equipment. 1000w Emperor MH bulb. GH Nute's
Vortex Inline Fan 690 CFM and a Cool Tube and Parabolic reflector for the 4x4 area.

I duct taped up the room, its now air tight on 3 sides and i'm waiting for my Grow zippers to come in to seal off the last door.
i'm not going to seal the bottom though to keep a little bit of a passive intake system and make the room easier to access.

Learned a valuable lesson today! Don't over water, woke up and one of my plants were just a little limp and droopy. Some of them are a little yellow. I was watering them pretty much every day until now. I am going to wait a few days see how they respond to not being watered so often. Did some reading on you tube on different plants and there signs of over watering. I was thinking about going getting a moisture meter just so I don't have to second guess myself. I also found this comical video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_GoQG2D0Qs

Update: Learned it was under watering.. the rock wool was bone... So I watered her and i'm going to wait till later this evening to see if she gained in vigor.

I also set up the ebb and flow 4x4... Working like a dream.

Lost one of the 5 from what I believe to be lockout on one of the rock wool cubes. Weird I thought, but it happens live and learn.
The other 4 are growing like wild fire, as of the 19th they will be 2 Weeks old and on there 3rd set of naturals. After they get this big
I think I will put them under the 1000w MH and bump there nutes up to 50%.

So as of recent I put in the 1000w Metal Halide on a Lumateck 1000w Ballast. But I turned down the power to 600w. The plants seem to be loving it, and if i smell close I can smell the very sweet smell. Extremely Satisfying.
Ive been messing with the Lucas formula, and I noticed I have a lot to learn. READ READ READ....

Temps have been a constant 20-25 Celsius and Humidity 45 - 55.

I am slowly over the next week take my solution from 400 ppm to full strength.

I recently got a littttttle deficiency on the plants you can notice... So i'm feeding them a little more just to see how they react.
Watering is currently twice over a 18 hour period..
7am after lights on for one hour, and like 5 pm... flooding for 15 minutes and there
not being over watered so it seems.

Went to the local hydro store owner, he told me to try some MagiCal.. a Magnesium, Calcium supplement to add to my regular feeding of my hydro. It recommended 5-10 ml of solution per Gal of Liquid. I put in
5 per ml in my mix. Lets hope this adds a little hope to my girls... i'm starting to worry
