New and Improved

Have pics up of the clones I took on the 13th. I still have to tune my cuttings and veg cycle to make sure to keep enough room in that small little 4x4 space to flower in! Gotta work with whats in front of me right now. I had dreams of a totally different flower room but money got real tight around here, so ill make due.

Clones look great, Im not exactly sure how their humidity level but seems to me as long as I keep it nice and moist in there they do just fine.

Watered the plants yesterday with 4tsp/gal fish mix between them all and then gave them another gal of pure water. The way its been going looks like I should have to water again tomorrow at some point. Did somemore lst work on 4 of the 5 plants (i didnt do the other plant cuz Im almost 100% that its a male) My plants are getting to big for my light next grow I can not let them get so big. I even topped a few of them to try and keep the canopy at bay.
I am going to be picking up some tiger bloom for these ladies. I also have some AN bloom parts A and B. I think I want to have a little challenge and see which mix does better the FF GB BB and TB against this Advance Nutrients part A/B. Hopefully there is enough money to around and I can pick up some B-1 thrive alive. There are a few more things on my list to pick up hopefully Friday I will have some more goodies for the garden.

I am going to culture some high K bat guano, worm castings for some nitrogen, and some dolimite lime to help stabilize the pH all of this into the top 1 maybe two inches of soil.


Well thats all I can think of right now so till next update

Looks like you got some happy plants lonely.... They are looking real good...

Hey thanks woder. Its good to hear that from a fellow grower since this is my actual 1st grow on my own. I really like it up to this point. Its tons of fun and there is so much to learn. Meeting new people along the road is always nice too. I havent stopped by ur thread. Ill have to do that. Should have an update coming soon.

So I am right around the corner from starting flowering! (super excited)

Have some nutes here that will be getting used. Feel Free to give any feedback thoughts personal usage. Questions you might have, any insight that might be good knowledge to have.... We are always learning, if we are not we are going backwards.
Bio Bizz Fish Mix all the way through. 2.1-.2-6.6
Bio Bizz Bloom 2-6-3.5
Tiger Bloom 2-8-4
Big Bloom .01-.3-.7
Thrive alive B-1 1-1-1
Grow Big will get used if it looks like plants need some extra Nitrogen.

These all will be given to the plants at recommended dosage. Starting the TB and BBB at 1/4 then 1/2 by the 3rd feeding they will be at full strength.

One plant will be getting a different feeding schedule.... I will be dropping TB and Bio bizz Bloom and replacing them with Advance Nutrients Sensi Bloom parts A and B. I had a question if anyone knows. It may sound stupid but I feed both parts a & b during flowering or are they split up like 3 weeks of part A and 5 weeks of part B?


In other news cuttings have been doing great for such little love I give them..... I saw one cutting with a root 2 days ago which would put it at 7 days from cutting and yesterday I checked again and had 4 with visible root. I will check again tonight and am guessing there will be a few more...

Added a new strain to the grow as well! Kings Kush its a little clone right now but I looked it up should have some potential... http://www.icmag.com/modules/ICStrainguide/index.php?eop=showreport&id=128

I had one more seedling that never made it into the journal I am pretty sure its a mendo purp plant that will be flowering with the others real soon here...

I thought I had subscribed to this thread.... wtf? Anyways, glad to see your box is filling in so well (and I dig your Bloom Feeding schedule)..... I sure would like to add to your strains and numbers.... hit me up, I wanna feed you cuttings.... Yep Sensi Star is around

whoa whoa whoa... Did my eyes read that right Sensi Star, around. Oh am I in love with that plant, and that pheno you have wow! This would be a great time to get some more cuttings too, as I am going to plant a few in some soil when I get off later tonight....
Maybe we can set something up for this weekend???? I can try and get my cousin (the one you know) to go up with me.....

looks great man keep it up. happy growin.

Couple self notes: 1)make room in grow box so I can have easy access to smaller area.....
2) 400watt with hood is only good for about 3x3...
3) Plant#3 clones easily Plant #2 takes longer......
4) Needed to hit plants with feeding schedule harder.....1/4str only one feeding then up to .5 for 1 feeding and by 3rd feeding have them at full str....
5) Soil mix works great (45%FFOF 40%BBAL and 15% perlite)

Hey there fellow growers... I put in a lot of quality work last night....Id say 4 solid ones.. Transplanted 2 ladies used some thrive alive at a rate of 1.5 tsp/gal to help with shock. Both plants looked like they were starting to be come pot bound.
Also took some more cuttings for the practice....I could use as much as possible. I also took some cuttings from the 13th and planted them into some cups too. Oh yea Im not sure if I put it in here yet but I do have a clone from a Kings Kush plant that I picked up the other day from a dispensary... I put my other 400w light up too for the little buggas. Everything is filling in nicely right now....

Sadly I will have to give up one of my plants... my flower space is to small.... but on the up side all the other ladies will have more room to fill out! That and I will be giving it to a fellow grower of mine (also close friend). Well thats about it for now flowering should start in a few days. Once those ladies come back from their transplant boom!

Now the pics are all over the place I have given up on tryin to figure that thing out! I have pics from things I used to clone. I have some pics of the garden with the light on..I have some pics of the new cuttings also have some pics of the clones that were put under the 400w. Yea I have some pics hahaha

HEADBAND/BLUEBERRY sounds great loco!!!!!

Yea I had some of this delicious wonder. Oh what a site to see it was.

The garden has now moved from veg to flowering starting today. It looks like this I have about 12 clones in soil that were planted from 8-23 // 8-25. I have 10 cuttings that I took on the 26th. I have the 5 big ladies that were vegged for....about 10weeks. Now that I sit here DAMN!!!! well it was worth all the effort and time it has taken and now I can actually watch these ladies bloom!!! They were given their 1st bloom nutes on the 28th.

Had a little trouble with the light and got some light burn....

Having a little trouble with the feeding cuz plants seem to still be yellowing....
Nutes: 1tsp Tiger bloom, 4Tbs Big Bloom, 15tsp Fix Mix, 1 tsp Thrive Alive.
One plant got 1.3 tsp Sensi Bloom A/B instead of the tiger bloom.

Always nice to flip switches. I use equal parts of AN Sensi Bloom A and B for the entirety of flower(except flushing of course). I change up my additives as weeks progress etc. I am a virgin to AN but am happy so far with all so far.......

So I know I have not kept this up to date but rest assured the ladies are doing alright. I just added anther 150hps to the 4x4 area today...They are getting so big...the tallest one being 4.5ft and the shortest being 3.5ft. Seems like the plants are liking the feeding schedule as long as I pH the nute solution when I feed them. Today will be the first day of adding molasses to the regular water. The plants are into their 4th week of flowering... No real big problems, I am having to make sure and keep the water pH up around 6.5. I think I was having a little bit of a nitrogen lock out or something because the plants were starting to drop leaves like it was 6 weeks in...
I have 4 clones that are almost a month old that I will somehow try and get into flowering on the 1st.

Looking at the little area (sorry I dont have pics of them) I want to get some T5 fixtures and get rid of the extra 400MH to keep heat down and even drop the amount of watts I am using in there.

With feeding looks like plants are loving the food I have yet to see any sort of toxicity in the plants. Like I said I would like to say I have only have problems with either under feeding or pH problem. Being a 1st time grower I would like to say its a little of both. I would like to upgrade and get another 600w and extend all the way the length of the room Well all is well over here still looking for a strain that will just dazzle me....oh I did just get a hold of two white widow cuttings so hopefully they root for me. Seems that this blueband strain clones very well.
I cant wait to see these ladies go this next month I hope they swell up nicely hince the molasses.

If anyone has any questions ask away. I need to see things from other growers prospective. I will try and get some better pics tomorrow of the 150 and how everything is looking.

strain to dazzle is on its way

I have a special place for it in the garden. I cant wait for you to bring it down...
Which strain the Jack Herer? Maui? Sensi???

The garden is in desperate need of stakes in it!!! most of the buds have fallen over to the sides and are not getting the best light right now!!! Grrrrr
Should I be putting stakes directly into the pots??

So lots of things a beginning grower like myself can learn...Plants will lean and bend over sideways!!!
I was no where near ready to wake up to plants almost lying down together, this is back on day lets say 10-5-10. Next set I will be ready for
Plants are very healthy looking, maybe even to green....Feeding has been maxed out for Id say a week maybe at the most two weeks...

Im going to cut it short I put in a 9hr shift @ work came home and just finished a 3hr shift in the garden Im pooped

So I was talking to a fellow grower (not one in particular I take advice from) and he was tellin me about this concept of actually leaving your lights on for 24hrs for like 48hr straight....right before you chop. Now I have heard about leaving your lights off for like 48hrs to help with trich production (Kind of skeptical of this too). I was wondering everyones opinion on this..............

Help me out here I wanna know what everyone thinks.

One more question. I have 5 clones going right now in red cups they have been under 24hr of light since they were put into these cups.... I would say the plants have been in there for maybe 2.5 weeks and for some reason they are flowering on me!!! WTF, any explanation on this???
