OneEightSeven's First Grow...on this site

Hey everyone, I've grown a few times in the passed, mostly stealth pc grows and auto flower strains. This is going to be a bigger scale setup to what I'm used to.

Heres My last pc grow that I harvested a few months ago, shes an auto Northern lights.


Whats cooking now
Stuff I Bought:
1. 36"x 20"x 62" tent
2. 4 inch high cfm inline filter with ducting
3. mars hydro 900 watt led light (hope I didnt get overzealous with the wattage heh)
4. ph up and down
5. super thrive
6 thermometer
7. smart pots 1 gal
8.fan speed controller
9. misc. accessories (zip ties, fans, timer, extension cords, etc)

More stuff I want to buy:
1. good Ph meter
2. carbon filter
3. maybe those ratchet hangers for lights...depends on what the mars hydro comes with
4.cal mag solution incase (already have fox farm neuts from first grow)
5.netting for scrog
5.bigger smart pots for transplant
6. a motherfucking watering can..seriously how do I not have one by now

besides the accessories its going to be my first time using any of this stuff

What I'm growing:
x2 pineapple express (both sprouted and in pots) Not feminized these were bag seed (going to try to sex a clone when its ready)
x1 dinafem blue hash (sprouted and in pot)
x1 dinafem diesel (seedling has not sprouted yet giving it some more time in paper towels)

I started the 2 pineapple express plants a few weeks before the rest because I don't know the sex and wanted time to be able to top them and sex the tops and all that. A week ago I started germinating the diesel and blue hash. Blue hash sprouted and shes going to be in my cfl box for a bit longer till she gets older. The diesel seed still hasn't germinated I'm going to give it a couple more days. Pineapple express is under the led light in 1 gallon pots.

update time..

I just topped the 2 pineapple express plants and I'm going to flower them, hopefully they are both girls! Blue hash is kinda growing slow but looks ok, maybe a little light green and needs some nitrogen? I haven't fed it yet, but I will prob give some light nutes as shes approaching about a week of veg. Diesel seed didn't germinate, so I guess its just these 3 plants for this grow. I know for sure the blue hash is female. I will update in a week or two when the clones show sex.

Blue hash

little babies in dome

one clone of each plant, hope they are both girls!

herers everything, I have some aloe pups growing too!

So my plan to take cuttings and sex them to see what I have kind of backfired. As it turns out, I have no idea how to take care of clones and they are barely alive. By the second day I had the cutting under the humidity dome it looked like they started to rot, so I took the humidity dome off and read for roots to grow the soil cant be water logged and you have to let it dry up a little, do I did that. By the second day the peat pellets were bone dry and the leaves were wilting, so i wet the pellets but for some reason these clones have not revived and look the same...are still in that wrinkly not growing stage for the whole week.

Today I checked on the pineapple express plants and one has balls! So I guess I didn't need the cuttings after all! The other plant doesnt have any balls or white hairs so its still a mystery...Maybe the white hairs take longer to show then the balls? I took out the male plant and transplanted my blue hash into that one gallon pot. Now I'm down to 2 plants..I kinda wish the male turned out to be female cause it was shorter, has closer inter-nodes, and overall grew better then the other one. The pineapple express I have now grew a bit lanky even with topping and the nodes are further apart from each other. I ended up topping once at the 4th node then topped the 2 new tops after they grew out, so Ill have 4 tops. Also when you rub the leaves they smell like sweet pineapple....also getting a little smelly when I water them. I think its time for me to get a carbon filter for my inline.


RIP my sweet prince

balls


new home for blue hash

Hope its a girl!

quite possibly the saddest looking clones ever

I trashed my clones...they had no root growth and just looked rotten. I looked at the stem and it was all hollowed out and mushy. Today I took 5 more cuttings since the plant is pretty stretchy. These have thicker branches, are more hearty, and this time Im using rockawool cubes. I think the peat pellets waterlogged the stems too much. Hopefully second time is a charm!
