Iight guys ive decided to no longer update this weekly with pics of my vegging plants. Its jus kinda boring really. Instead, ill keep yall posted on progress now and then and throw up some budding pics once these ones get going in another week or 2.

Ive just organized my perpetual calendar. My goal is to harvest 1lb every 2 weeks off 4 plants. Easy. My secret goal is 1lb per plant but we'll see how that goes :)

Plants have hit 18" now. I plan to flower them at 30". Hoping for 50% stretch or about a 4ft plant by harvest time :)

Hey all. Jus updating cause i decided to put my plants into flower this week.
Plants are looking good, green and healthy. I trained 4 of the 5 leaving the 5th completely untrained jus as a comparison. I may run all plants unscreened in the future to cut on labor and training. But them screens are real clutch when yu need support. Come harvest time, yu jus cut at the base, and the whole plant stays on the screen and can be dried right there on it.

Jan 11 - Jan 18
#1 17.5" => 23"
#3 12" => 16"
#6 15" => 21.5"
#7 14" => 20.5"
#9 16" => 20"

I wanted to wait for them to be 2ft to flower, but instead am going based on time. These plants have been veggin for 7 weeks now including 2 weeks in the cloner. This next group and all following will have 8 weeks of veg including 2 weeks in cloner.

Well thats all for this week. Got some more pics of my flowering plants. This is week 8. Figured out that if i zoom in, instead of bringing the camera closer, it maintains focus and clarity :)

Yo.
Been awhile since i updated this shit but figured i might as well :)
A bits happened since Jan 18. Lemme bring yall up to speed.

First up is my veg tent:image.jpg

Every 2 weeks i take clones and then i jus veg plants till they reach ~2ft tall.
You'll notice the 2 plants in blue buckets. Those 2 plants are my hempy bucket experiement. 1 is pure perlite and the other is a mix of perlite and soil.
The one in pure perlite isnt doin so well... It looks like it has succumbed to rot...
The hempy soil bucket is doin amazingly...I assume its because the plant has plenty of nutes from the soil to grow off of instead of some random mixture of nutes provided by me. Ill work out the kinks in time.

^^^ planted feb 2nd after rooting at 3".

Im considering switching all plants into those blue buckets. They fit really well in my grow, plus they're blue :D
They jus arent as "airy" as the 3 gal smart pots im using atm..


My flowering plants are coming along nicely. Ive got 3 sets of 4 plants flowering plus 1 extra. I had planned to have 5 sets of 4 plants spaced 2 weeks apart, but my plants may flower for 12 weeks, not 10. AND i can only fit 16 plants in my flowering area so far... Gotta find a way to squeeze 8 more in.

2 weeks in:

4 weeks in:

All is well thou except i think i got a little crazy with the epsom salts and caused some kind of lockout. What yall think?

Plants started to show a possible N or Mg deficiency (later comfirmed as Mg) and i fed them. What i fed them was roots grow mixed in ro water with cal mag, protekt, and epsom salts. I was using 1g/L of epsom salt. In hindsight, it was probably never needed. I was concerned there wouldnt be enugh mg from the cal/mg and didnt want more calcium, just more magnesium.
Luckily, since my flowering is perpetual in those groups, the damage is worse on the oldest plants, and never happened to the youngest. Process of elimination just tells me dont feed them and not to use epsoms at each watering.

Anyway, thats all for today.
Ill get more flowering pics up as the weeks progress and my jungle grows!

Hm.
Jus read up some more on epsom salts and im starting to think it actually wasn't the problem. Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is apparently pretty hard to overdose and doesnt give off hydrogen ions. In soil applications, it shudnt effect ph.
So then my problem mustve been the extra nutes. After 10 weeks of life i still havent had to feed, and the first time i give a small amount of nutes, they burn haha. Indeed. Lesson learned. Sometimes you jus gotta math things out haha.
Im thinking 5mls calmg and 1gram epsom per gallon of RO water should be fine :)

Yo all.
Well the perpetual grow this thread started with is coming to an end soon and ill be shutting down for a little to reorganize and then start a new.
I apologize for not keeping this up to date. Ive had some failure and success but am getting better at this growing thang slowly.

Anyway, i figured i shud update this thread to bring closure to it atleast. I'll do my best to post some weekly pics of my plants finishing up in flower.
