I am almost at the end of my first ever grow, i have some trichomes that are still clear and some cloudy (i would say 30% clear and the rest is cloudy and some ambers)

So i decided to go ahead and germ my new seeds Auto black cream.

I am using Bio grow light soil mix, 3l gallon for each seed. As for lighting unfortunatly i dont have the finance to buy Hps lights! So im going to use the same lighting system i used for my first one. Which is basically Fluo lights during Veg im using 4700K Fluo lights (four 28W).

As for nutrients ill be using Bio Grow, Top Max, and Bio bloom. (will not add any nutrients before at least a week) And will only use bio grow in Veg state (1/4th of the required amount as well since its auto flowering and im scared it would burn faster than normal plants) (same goes for flowering stage with its nutrients)


Today is the third day the germinate. I have just layed them into the soil.


Here are some pictures. Will update whenever i feel something is worth sharing. (If anyone has any suggestions or anything to add that might help me in my grow please feel free to post, any advice is welcome)


The seeds in the pic are from yesterday (today the root stretched to about 2 inches) They are in the soil inside the black containers. The plant in the middle is my first grow.




To check out my first grow(which is not done yet as well, id say about 10 more days tops): https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/644749-my-first-baby-just-started.html

Indeed Indeed!!! Im a bit scared of LST'ing them!! im not sure of how to do it and not damage them!!! they still seem a bit fragile!!! and ive watched A lot of LST videos and still dont understand the exact Process... (I sound stupid i know :/ its just im worried i might harm the plant while putting around it something :s) So basically i just attach a rope to make it wave sideways?

Haha I was too, but just go for it. Read this article http://www.growweedeasy.com/lst-low-stress-training and then just get stuck in. I'm on my very first grow, and when I started LST I didn't know if I was doing it right but it worked out great! You won't damage them if you are careful and gentle, having said that I did snap the top almost right off one of mine but I taped her back together and she grew stronger than ever.

Here's a pic of mine looking down from the top into the plant and you can see where I've pulled the branches over.

Honestly it is only in the last few days, week at most that the magic has started to happen - all the little buds are shooting up from the middle. Do it Maarouf. Mine were 3 weeks old when I started the LST. Good Luck. Lady Hx

Your encouragement Is awesome Lady Helena :D

I took charge and actually Lst'd one of them!! She is all ready showing some attraction to the light and heading up!!!! First of all thank you for pushing me to do it!!! (A small piece of a fan leaf was cut off, but she is going to be ok) The second Plant "Parvati" I didint LST because she is very Tall!!! and i was scared that i might break the stem!!!


Here are some pictures of the LST!

That's brilliant. Nice work. You just have to be brave. They respond really quickly and you'll get more confident about how far you can bend them etc.
Don't worry about the fan leaf, I picked loads of mine off. That link I gave you to the LST also has info on defoliation...have a look.

As for Parvati (LOVE the name), you have to LST her or she'll just get taller. Just start slowly, bend her a little then adjust the ties every day, bending her a little more. It's addictive tho! Last tip, keep some duct tape handy, just in case you do snap a stem...hehehehe. x

Indeed it took "Boston Rob" around 2-3 hours to respond and started heading back up!!! And today when i came back home, i decided to give her another LST (indeed bending is addictive) I think this one is much better than the other!!! I shall be Doing "Parvati"'s LST tom after i come back from work!! And will provide pictures for both of them! :D Thank YOUUUU :D

Updates Day 33 of Grow:


After having LST'd Both plants i can see that the lower growth is coming along Great!! I still want to add at least one or two more CFL's to just feed them properly! I feel like they are a bit slower then they should be (if anyone has an idea, or maybe im on time with them)



This is "parvati" and she is a tall girl and she starting to show some purple coloration in the flowers.
