Hijack - Auto Seeds CFL/T5 Grow

yeah i know who it was but i dont have proof and theres 100 +1 different scenarios so my take on the whole sitation is live and learn, indoor for me all the way from now on

the guy i think did it is a co worker....what am i gonna do, i could spread rumors like a child not having any actual proof he did it or i could be an adult and say "i dont know who did i, I think i know but im not sure" trust me i want to beat his ass and have already confronted him but its a shitty situation as im not the type of person to point fingers without proof as it has been done to me and i did not like it

damn matt, sorry to hear!
and wow jesus, the hijack looks amazing! very bushy for no training! im looking forward to seeing how mine turn out. ill post some pics/update later on tonight.

Yeah Matt I know what you mean, if you don't have a 100% proof then you are off better keeping quiet, it's not worth the trouble over some buds a specially if it was by your house.

Yeah Grape she's coming along nicely, and to my surprise she doesn't smell that much she has some AK47 in her so I thought she's going to smell more maybe it will just come later in the flowering stage, but it would be nice if she stayed that way lol. My NL Auto on my first grow didn't smell at all unless you shook the plant, but the smoke was still the bomb Loved it.

Yeah yeah can't wait to see your girl and how's she's doing

I think I need some kind of plaxi glass or some glass to have it as a shield on my T5 because the leafs are starting to touch the bulbs, so here comes my question you think plaxi glass or glass would block some kind of rays as in light rays good for the plants??

I'm glad to see people growing hijack. I tried with my first attempts at a grow but I didn't get any plants of it. Although I learned many things to never do again.

Most all glass or w/e you call clear stuff in front of your light will block uv wich has been proven to increase resin production. But its negligible... Crystol doesn't block uv

Day 5/6 from sprout,
First 3 are the Hijack last 3 are DDR

I re setup my lights, they are both getting more direct over head 6500k light now. I decided to take out the 2700k bulbs for now until they get a little bigger and I can add them as side lighting. I was worried about heat issues and problems keeping all the lights at the right distance from the plants. Right now they are under 6 26w 6500k CFL's. in another week or so i will add the rest of the lights. i really want them to be under different spectrums of light.

Dan I had a three pack from the tude but only this one survived, the other two I had one of them just didn't grow at all she just sprouted and that's it, the second one grew but instead growing towards the light it grew towards the ground lol so this one is what's left of the three pack but I love how she grows, she's on the 26th day and already 13" tall and around 8-9 tops.

So will see how it go's, and thanks for stopping by.

Thank you bumps, that's what I thought so..oh well will just have to move the plants more often lol

Grape very nice buddy!! That DDR looks similar to my AKR lol and sh'e also around 6-7 days.
I always mix my spectrum like 3:1 ratio. I always have 1 3000k in the T5 panel during veging and when she starts to flower I switch it the other way around 3x 3000k and 1x 6500k.

The more light's the happier the plants are and for that you will get a nice reward.
I need to get one 2700k bulb for the AKR when it starts to flower and I will be all done with the lights lol, they got some 64w 2700k at Lowes for 16 bucks and they got some 68w 2700k for 14 bucks at Home Depot if your in the states. So one or two more bulbs for me and I'll be good for now my plants will be nicely surrounded on all sides by light.

Hey guys just a quick question is this normal for new shoots to claw like that??
The rest of the leafs are just fine.

I've noticed mine when they are putting on buds do that... They usually flatten out but sometimes they don't... IDK LMAO!

not really sure, may be a PH issue but they dont look to be unhealthy to me

Thank you guys for your input, but to my surprise it was heat stress, that big ass cfl as giving off some heat and I think it was too close to the top of the plant so I got a bit higher and it seems that worked.

Bumps yeah my D.R was doing that also but not like that lol.

Matt I was thinking about PH too but my water is always adjusted to 6.3-6.8 I mean I always try to be as close to those numbers as I can.

glad you figured it out.

just something i want you to research here but PH of water going into soil dosent really mean anything. you need to know what the PH of the soil is because the soil itself acts as a buffer. Meaning you can add a liquid nutrient/water solution to the soil with a PH of 10.0 and if the soil PH is 5.0 it will indeed buffer that water to 6.0, maybe 5.2 (it may go up a little with these expremidies but you never have a difference og 5 points in PH)

so a better analogy would be if the soil PH is 6.0 and your watering 7.0 the PH of the soil is going to stay at 6.0 unless you add a soil buffering agent. this is what i have gathered from my reading please research it yourself for 100% accuracy

Thank you Matt Actually I did already looked that up, you told me about that the first time around it was on 4-21-2012 lol but I knew I should remember about that lol.

And here's the AKR at 1 week

My first thought was heat stress but ive never had that particular kind of growth from it, so then i thought it could be pH or something i haven;t come across yet. but now that youve sorted it out it should sort itself out! all the best
