Decent First Grow?

lobsterxmanx · Feb 19, 2010

hey everyone, im about 6 weeks into flowering this bagseed. its my first grow, and i did a lot of research, but had very little money to spend, i got a 2 ft, 4 bulb florescent, with 4 65k bulbs, and vegged her for about 6 weeks, then replaced two tubes with 2 3k ones. so this is what it came out to. i think she looks ok, aside from some yellowing, [N deficient?]. im also waging an all out war with these microscopic red dots with legs....though i think im basicly keeping them under contol, im getting some neem oil today as well, but anyway, tell me what you all think, also how much i might get.

any comments/critiques are welcome

thanks man! and thats a good amount of weed! :bigjoint:

That looks pretty good. I waited to start growing till I had a 400 watt hps/mh so I can do both veg/flowering i found out using florescent lights you can never guess how much you will get it's all up to the strain.

lobsterxmanx · Feb 19, 2010

thanks bigredbong, thats true, i guess ill just wait it out.

plants look good man keep up the good work. The yellowing from what i can tell isnt a N def, looks to me like nute burn. What kind of nutes are you using? if so how often and what are your ratios?

hey thanks for the advice! ill put plain water in for a while. as for the nutrient :eyesmoke:

s, its this pink powder that was in a plastic bag with a paper tag in it that said "10-50-10' :roll:

so, it was blooming stuff???, and ive been putting a 1/4 tspn. per gallon in my watering tank, but recently been adding a small ammount of veg ntrien for assumed N lack. and i do it every second watering, [i have a seprate watering can of fresh water ;D] so i kinda fucked, but i think it can be fixed lol. :bigjoint:

AND THANK YOU ALL FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

you have your color temperatures backwards
veg should be 6500k
flower should be 2700k

Sounds to me that what you have there is Peter "Super Blossom Booster." If that is the case then you need to back off that stuf lol. I would agree go with the clean distilled water. I was reading some info on this and they reccomend feeding with it every 7-10 days. So this sounds to me to be a little concentrated. If you are adding the N booster too i can almost bet that you are burning them So back off the feeding schedule with nutes, give it space between feeds. This will also help avoid nute lock out, and if you get that this late in the game you are going to hate life.

Remember to pH balance that water before feeding!

GL!

We normally fertilize every 7 - 10 days in the early morning before the hot sun comes out. When we plant new flowers in the spring and summer they get a healthy dose of Peters to get them on their way.

mix 1 tablespoon of the fertilizer to one gallon of water in our watering can and do this several times but find it works best

wow man thank you, i have no idea how much nutes to put in, and i thought the yellowing was deficiency! lol well thanks a lot dude, ill post more pics when soon if any major develpoments take place. and again, thank you everyone for all the positive feedback, i appreciate it so much! i love this site!!!!

lobsterxmanx · Feb 23, 2010

ok here are some pics from today, they look to be getting fatter, and hairier still! some hairs have slight orange/brown to them, and some nice sugariness too! :mrgreen:

but theres also the nute burn witch im sad about, but have no one to blame but my lack of experience/research. :wall:

anyway with the 4th pic, i decided to tie both sides like that to encourage the two middle mini nugs to come up, and they did. also, can anyone tell me what strain that last pic might be? some dank right? lol jk :blsmoke:

so yeah if you have any questions or advice ill be glad to hear it., ill post the harvest whenever its done. for the next grow ill make a nice journal.

lobsterxmanx · Feb 23, 2010

60 views later and still no opinions? with these tasty pics?

alexonfire · Feb 23, 2010

6th picture if my fav. I dont really know what to suggest about yellowing but it looks good, how far along in flowering are you at now? I would say another 2 weeks roughly... keep us posted!

lobsterxmanx · Feb 23, 2010

yeah thats a good one. and i figured im going to cut off those leaves anyway. so its all good. monday started week 7, so i figure another week and ill flush it??
and thanks for being awesome alexonfire, ill keep posting till harvest time!

lobsterxmanx · Mar 1, 2010

ok so today begins week 8, still looks like its growing upward some, and definitely needs to fill out i added another 48w 3000k/65000k florescent light, to get that right bud nice and big! so im not sure how many weeks, but its fine, im in nohurry :weed:

what i need to know is when to flush this thing, and how much to flush with. so any advice on that is appreciated

so... on a side note, hows everyone doing today? i know ifeel like shizzzz from a party last night :spew:

Look overwatered. Notice how the leaves are lobster clawing.

lobsterxmanx · Mar 1, 2010

mmm indeed i was wondering what that was, thanks man.

cowboylogic · Mar 1, 2010

I would be cutting back on the nutes also. She looks to have a pretty good supply onboard to finish her last 2 or 3 weeks. Other than that. Nice looking grow.

allovher · Mar 1, 2010
