Update:

Transplanting Seedlings into smaller pot as advised by hydro shop. If anyone thinks i should do otherwise please let me know. Will post new pics tonight.

Heres some new pictures of the blackjacks after the pot downsize. Still look healthy!
comments welcome!

Looking good buddy!! Check out my grow in my Sig!!

Been a second since i posted. Today marks the start of week 2 for the young blackjacks. i fed them their first small dose of nutrients today.

1ml canna A + 1ml canna B + 3 ml Rhizotonic

Heres some pictures, They are growing. : ) Comments welcome.

Hey everyone! been a while since i posted. Today marks the 1st day of week 3.

Ive been giving them 2ml canna a / b , 4 ml rhizotonic, and 2ml canazyme.

tonight i flushed them with water and will soon up the strength. they seem to be taking very well to the nutrients. If anyone has any comments or suggestions feel free to drop em.

it looks like the skywalker could be a male. Could a male pollenate the blackjacks at such a young age?

Wesmkdro

if she has ANY flowers then yes.

What if the blackjack doesnt have any flowers or preflowers yet , and the skywalker does not appear to have any pollen sacks. Should i be in the clear for another week to let the male veg for a second longer? or is this just a bad idea?

a male won't harm anything until flowering. The pre-flowers might be show on larger veging plant.. Are the nodes starting to alternate?

sooooooo. Just thought i would give yall a quick update with how im closing out week 3. I just ordered these air pots from a site i found which sold them individually instead of in huge bulk orders. I ordered 4 3 gallon pots, 4 1 gallon pots, and 4 mini 4inch wide aircell pots. These things look amazing.

Heres a video for yall ( http://www.superoots.com/videos/index.htm ) if you havent heard of the airpots.

Tonight i will be transplanting from the standard pot to the 1 gallon air pots. im pretty excited to see how they will grow. Ill be posting pictures later. Just updating new gear for the grow right now.

Hey everyone! Welcome to the closing of week 3 for the young blackjacks. I should have transplanted them ten days ago ... but i didnt : / . but thats okay! cause i made up for it just a second ago by transplanting my youngins to their brand new Air-Pot 1 Gallon homes!

Check out the pics !

Ive been feeding a low dose of noots, but will up the amount tomorrow. Lemme know what you think of the air pots!

Update : The plants nute dose has been upped to 4mla + 4mlb + 4 ml Rhizotonic + 2 ml Cannazym

Ive also built a foot and a half table to put the plants on to replace the two 2 x4s .

comments alway welcome.

Here a pic 2 days after transplant 1 day after nute up.

Just got some of these pots. Looking forward to see'n how yours go! They look like perfect little babies at the moment. Subscribed! I was thinking of using Fox farm ocean forest soil in my air pots. Think that would work? Or maybe I should go with a bag of Canna coco soil. Hmm

I think you should do what is best for you. I personally chose coco because it was hydroponics, easier to control, and i knew i would get a higher yield off out of it. Because the coco holds no nutrients, you control what the plant recieves and what it does not. But but coco isnt for everyone obviously, because most people i see are still growing in soil : p . I have seen a large amount of people using coco in the air pots though. lol. The air pots are amazing so far , youll really like them. you should atleast. they are growtech! another thing to have in your garden to up yields and quality! Thanks for the subscribe, i just read your white berry journal start to finish. when you start a new grow lemme know! ill subscribe!

Does anyone know how tall i should let my plants get before i start flower if im tryin to grow them like ... 4 ft high? hybrid strain.

Just a few pics of how the ladies have advanced

as you can see , they have taken pretty well to their new air pots. Im still debating on whether or not i will transplant them into a 3 gallon for flower.

ive been reading peoples logs , it seems like mine are going according to schedule. I read somebody elses blackjack log today. Wow. i cant wait till harvest

lookin really good for just under a month.. did the other plant turn out male or did you just kill it?
