Hashberry n00b grow.

slamminsalmon · #1 06-07-2008, 04:19 AM

Ive had these clones in a veg cycle for roughly 6 Days now, at first the clones were nothing to look at it, so i didnt bother with pictures. Below were taken today.

Here is a better look at my closet. The lights are 3 250 watt chicken lights we found at our local agway. they each have a splitter. the 2 lights on the outside have the 23 watt cool white, 4 total. the reflector in the middle holds the 2, 27 watt daylight bulbs.

in the 4 ft shop lights are 2 ott-lite daylight fluorescent tubes a piece. after looking on the package and the internet i cant find the wattage of these things anywhere!

when it comes to flowering i was thinking about removing the top cfl's and installing a 400watt hps.

it seems that a lot of people are raving about LST. should i hold off? this is my first indoor grow? or is it simple enough that i could do it this time.

im also interested in some nutes, but im overwhelmed by all the choices i have. as for a soil i will be using a peat, perlite blend, or even pro-mix.

i eventually would like to take a cutting or two off each plant so i can start them in veg.

any suggestions off the top of your head, or questions for me please indeed participate. thanks again for all the info ive taken in while enjoying this site.

plants are growing well, each have almost added an each with a bunch of leaves. they be very stinky too. it kinda makes me horny haha

as far as nutes go im leaning towards organic, but im not sure of the measurements when it comes to making a guano tea. i will do some research but id like to hear from the community on their experience with this form of nutrient.

thanks

Check out my post for some LST action of my own and some of other peoples pics they posted in it.

Showing off some LST

It is a great idea if you want better yields in my opinion. Im still a newb so to speak being this is my first grow and Im using bagseed but if you want optimal amounts of colas, it seems LST is the way to go. It allows for not only more bud sites but more light penetration to the lower branches.. Check out my pics on that link or in my grow journal in my signature..the plants are only about 8-9 inches tall but look allot bigger from overhead. Good luck, I will be watching this one!

I know a couple of ppl growing hashberry on this site, one is at your stage- a newb and with seedlings, but the other jason is a badass grower from south korea with a killer crop of hashberry. Mclovin is the newb and i posted his link, with in that is a link to jasons, you should talk to the both of them, spec. jason- he has a lot to teach you about hashberry- and some great budporn to boot!

hey thanks!

ive seen jasons. that grow is a work of art!

so far i love these plants, they grow like mad. ill have pics of my young ladies in a couple days.

slamminsalmon · #7 06-12-2008, 12:06 PM

im not sure how much longer im vegging for and i think since this is my first time, and due to a little financial constraints im going to try and flower with the cfl's.

im not sure how many more ill need if any,or wut kinds.

also thinking about going with a more powerful fertilizer than bat guano tea. since im not gonna get the hps yet. any suggestions?

nothing else has really come up, we had a few hot days before the ac was in the house so i kept closet door open to keep it under 90. i may have to figure out a way to get cooler air in there before flowering, just in case. the room next over the air conditioner in it, so i may get the power drill out.

as promised, a couple pics. both are stinky, the plants not the pics!

thanks for reading.

yeah you need to lower temps asap, and transplant soon...

Do you have a soil recipe or do you use store bought one bag soil...?

slamminsalmon · #9 06-13-2008, 05:26 AM

transplant soon? why? they have been in these cups for like 3 weeks max. they arent anywhere near being root bound.

i will probably go with premieres pro-mix.

OB Cron Kenobi · #10 06-13-2008, 12:54 PM

This is a good soil recipie I have gotten along the way, IDK who originally wrote it- but this is its copy and paste form, not trying to plagerize... but i forgot the name- if your reading take credit and it will be given!

NEVER USE MIRCALE GROW!!
To all my fellow growers. Never use anthing but your own soil mix. Wal-mart sells Super Soil (basic soil) they also sell perlite (white balls for spacing). I went to my local pet supply store and got bat guano (10-3-5) then i got earth worm castings (12-6-3) for a 100% soil mix you need a mixture of 50-60% super soil, 15-25% perlite, 15% worm casting mixed with bat guano, then i got 10% sand (also sold at pet shop) you could use concret mix, but sand is prefured, and oh yeah! dont use beach sand, it contains salts....always spray your roots with nutes when you transpot your stuff.
Just a thought, G'luck
P.S. I also had like less than 5% pre-mix (found this at Wal-mart, but then i couldn't find it anywhere but Pet Stop)
And if the (%) thing throws you off, den start off with cups (out of ten = 100%)

I have herd pro-mix is too thick and makes it impossible to flush, doesnt have enough drainage... things like pearlite make drainage much easier...

And LSTing is great, but you have enough verticle space by the look of it, why not just top or fim and let them grow tall to get bigger yields, lsting keeps em short and gives a smaller yield.

Transplant, cuz its never to early really- and its a bitch when you wait till they are root bound, you can destroy roots and damage plant easily...

But if its only been 3 weeks ur prly ok for sure...

Will be following, looks good so far...
