Shangeet's first grow with cheese cuttings

Shangeet · Feb 18, 2011

Now it's my first grow so any help will be much much appreciated. I've done alot of reading... take suggestions, advices, tips. Now just need the hands on experience :-)

Plants are:

9 x well rooted cheese cuttings

Setup:

Shangeet grow tent 1200mm w x 1200mm d x 1800mm h

Tt 4" inline fan and carbon filter (soon to be changed to prima Klima 5" fan with temp and speed control and big carbon filter)

Small 6" fan for circulation

9 x 11ltr square pots with individual trays

600w sunmaster hps under a euro deflector on a maxibright ballast with a plant grow timer

80w 2 foot tube heater for night temp

Medium + nutes:

4 pots are in canna terra pro plus, 4 are in canna terra pro and 1 is in a mixture of both (for testing purposes)

Using canna rhizatonic, canna terra vega, canna terra flora, canna boost and canna pk13/14 also ph down as I live in a hardwater area

Right ok I'm bound to of forgotten something lol but here's the story so far:

I potted the cuttings straight into the 11 ltr pots (in hindsight I would of used smaller pots first but hey it's a learning curve) 1 week ago today (Friday) I noticed when I got them that 3 or 4 of the plants looked a little funny but after receiving knowledge from seasoned growers and there growings lol I'm pretty sure that they where taken from a plant in flower and will be fine.
I've watered them 3 times so far and used canna rhizatonic and no nutes but I'm going to water tomorrow with a quarter dose of the canna vega nutes (to get them used to it) and also still the rhizatonic. Right the temps are around 26c during light hours and around 16c during dark hours and that's on a 18/6 cycle

I will try and keep up with this 1st grow and any comments positive or critical are much appreciated as I'm a total noob and really want this to work, if I've missed any info please let me know and I'll post it up cheers.

Here are some pics :

Setup:

Just a small update No pictures today but plants are looking good and growing well, still have a slight worry about temps being a bit low but I'm working on a fix for that

Shangeet · Feb 21, 2011

A pic this morning, not sure when to top them really as I'm not a hundred percent sure how big they will get but I guess that's all part of the learning curve lol

shrigpiece · Feb 21, 2011

Subbed looks nice bro!

Shangeet · Feb 21, 2011

Right well I've just been up there and they are looking good

So ive decided after a bit of reading and a small post in the indoor growing section to top my plants and I've gone with the sooner the better so they have a good 2 weeks to recover before I switch to flower

As you can see I've not gone mad with it as it really doesn't feel right cutting the heads off of my beloved plants :-(

but hey needs must lol.
You will also notice that I've kept what I cut off the top of the plants and misted with ph balanced water and placed in an air tight freezer bag in the fridge, not sure if it's gonna work but if not then I've not lost anything lol

shrigpiece · Feb 22, 2011

So you are a fellow loft grower? Hard carrying all that water up a ladder i get fed up of it. Anyways looks nice bro
