thanks...im an idiot...i can put the fan outside of the tent taking air from outside the tent to keep the tent sealed, to keep the co2 in.will do that later... and what do u guys think is more important me adding a 600 when flowering or getting all these nutrient additives. i only have a regular 3 part advanced nutrient nutes... ive been eye balling some of this like 0-50-30 stuff by humbolt or w/e hes called. i can prob afford one or the other. im thinking i want to get some dutch master reverse as well just to make sure if i stressed my girls i dont get any seeds. i

The super expensive plant food additives do exctly as they say, they add more weight on to the buds. BUT i find that Buds which have had these super expensive guaranteed to add weight additives fed to them smoke real funny in the sense they leave a slightly sugary effect on the buds itself which turns to harshness on throat when smoked. Otherwise those additives do a good job. TO BE HONEST THOUGH I WOULD OT RECOMMEND THEM. ALSo i see your grow area is very messy already, KEEP IT VERY CLEAN ALWAYS!! It will prevent insect infectations which can destroy your crop or at the least significantly damage it reduing total yield dramatically. KEEP IT CLEAN!! TRUST ME ITS THE BEST WAY.

i appretiate the advice. i think im going to just swing for the 600 in a week or so. i will also clean the room...its a lil hard to walk in there already so...but i raised the light like 4 inches yesterday and they all seem to be liking it and creeping towards it. ill update pics tommorow

hey whats up guys/gals ive been gone for 2 days and when i came back for the most part they got bigger. i do have some burn holes in my plants which i think i got from too many nutes(full dose since like week 2) so ive been flushing the last 2 waterings spread 3 days apart when the top 2 inches got dry. not sure but they may be over watered. the tips are drooping down.. but they look healthy at the same time(not worried about them dying).

some plants have holes in them, i think its burns. ive been feeding them 2 drops of super thrive per gallon and the full strength 3 part nutes and spraying them with distilled water soon before the light turns off.

heres my update:

i did a little pruning to boost these undershoots so i can clone them sooner. and i tied 3 of them down. I FIMmed the top of the chocolope and the la con for an experiment. the chocolope seems to either have 4 main stems or 6 idk but they are coming in slow.

i now am definitely buying some dutch master reverse since they're all fem seeds.

i turned off the exhaust fan and have co2 blowing around by my big square fan (around 82*)

i am not too worried about veg time to much but they are moving a lil slow. i am a little behind on watering and am boiling some now tho.

chocolope:


close up sorry not a 1000 dollar nikon.


la woman, i am not sure if that node will make another "main stalk" yield.


blue mystic


la con


and last, but not least, the ever so beautiful.......... miss sour cream:

any suggestions?

hey whats up guys....think i kinda lost you guys...no more responses...so ive decided to take some pics and give u guys who are hopefully interested something to look at.

ive lst'd everything besides the chocolope..doesnt look like it wants to be.

i still have the sour cream and the blue mystic in 1 gallon bags...im going to plant the sour into a 3 gallon in the near future and the same with the blue mystic....i mightve screwed myself because they are all tied somewhere random so idk... this is my experiment grow so i guess ill find out in the future.


and i added 2 4' shop lights each with 1 warm and 1 cool bulb. one ballast on each side of the tent

group photo


la confidential with all the beautiful undergrowth looking real nice. it was fimmed and lst'd if u look at the main. there small coming in a littly slowly...could be becuase all the undergrown wants to be mains to.. idk. but they are coming in.


chocolope-fimmed. either 2 or 4 main colas.


la woman-. lst'd



blue mystic



its probably around 2 months old now... i am thinking about flipping them over after i transplant and they resume normal growth and adjust to the lst. about a week or a week and a half ill 12/12


sour cream with a lot of undergrowth





can you keep lst'ing the main cola's when they are in flower? because there are a lot that aren't as tall as the main/s
 
Hello man, all I got to say is WOW, I can't wait to see them flowering, I wanna see those buds !! Eventhough I haven't posted until now, I always got an eye on your grow journal, just to see how Sour cream and LA woman are doing, because these ladies will be grown in january in my grow tent (freebies from the Attitude).

Best wishes man and good grow !!

P.S : If sometimes you don't understand what I say, it's because I'm French ^^ (studying in Germany), so don't hesitate in correcting me !!

ya i gott them as freebies too. u can also add the promo code 420 on the attitude which i forgot to get another seed/s.

so now i am looking the plants over and they're pretty short. the tips are from 7-12 inches from the soil. the side branching on a lot of them is almost as high as the main cola's. and the biggest side branching is from the lowest node on the plant, i think because thats were most of the hormones are? idk, but, im not sure if i flower now i'll get enough out of it?

anyone with a little more experience know? i have the 400 hps and im getting 6500 lumens off each flouro ballast.(1 on each side)

hey whats up....long time no update

im 4 days into flower as of now. vegged for a loooong time.(2 months or so.)

nutes im using are

1/2 strength botanai care bloom
1/4 strength botanai grow
full strength liquid karma
1/2 strength humbolts snow storm ultra
1 or 2 drops per gallon of superthrive

i usually dont adjust my ph after...its green which means around 6 ph.(hard to tell b/c the nutes darken the water a lot.)

i am using 1 400 watter now. buying another 400 tommorow to add. and i have 1 65(blue spectrum) light in there as backup incase i accidently pull my ballasts' cord out, which i have once for about 2 min 2 days ago.

group photo


all are about 1-1.5 feel tall



la con (the 3 colas)


la woman has like 2 main colas and a whole bunch of little ones.


blue mystic(smallest one)



chocolope (as you can see the leaves are like wilting weird.( theres like 4-5 main colas and like 3-4 more smaller ones.



edit: so i went away for 3 days and when i returned my sour cream baby had wilted down and died. so i made about 13 clones total of all of my plants. so far 3 have rooted and been planted

haha well I had some changes and ended up with a closet 4x 21 in. x 7. cool tube not being cooled about 5-7 in. away from the tops. Not such a good setup b/c the light is in the middle and not reaching the 2 at the ends. I am not too well funded as of now so I can not change much. They appear pretty good looking as far as i can tell, la con is a little burnt i think, but it still looks good and is staring to get crystals on the leaves. I'm not sure if i should start using Gravity on it now or wait a little. i put them in flowering 25 days ago. It says to start it at 3 weeks, the la con is starting to gain a little weight on the top, but not so much the others im going to add a little gravity to the la con tonight. and if you have not noticed, the sour cream has not made it. which I am a little upset about. the blue mystic is thriving but its not in the best spot for light and i cant change that because of the space. ill update with pictures as soon as i can.

so here's what you guys have been missing... i flowered on dec 5th. so today is 41 days of flower and and there is supposed to be done between 7-9 weeks(all strains) and the hairs are still all white. i dont have a microscope yet to check the tric. the yield seems to be a lot less than i hoped for. the blue mystic after 3-4 weeks gave me 2.9 g'd dried.(smallest plant)

all of them...from right to left is... la woman, chocolope, and la con.



la woman



chocolope


another pic of the chocolope

sucks about the blue mystic. I wouldn't pay any heed to the listed flowering times of 7-9weeks, they will probably take longer. Let the plant tell you. You can get a 60-100x handheld microscope from radioshack for 15bucks. They work GREAT. Plants look good though. Why no hps?
