First grow any input would be appreciated

FCSoldier · Apr 20, 2009

Hey everyone this is my first grow, I started with 3 seeds, got 2 males. My plant was in veg for 28 days, I know a little young to start flowering, but I'm kinda experimenting to see what works best for me and wanted to get started. Initiated flowering stage with a 24 hour dark period. She started showing signs of sex after 6 days. I am now 33 days into 12/12 and I was hoping to get some input on what could be done to help her along. I am using MG soil in a 3 gallon pot(its all I could get my hands on)I am using sam's choice deep feeding bloom nutes. 10-52-10 I water with distilled water. I use at full strength with one gallon water every 8 days after fully soaking the soil. Appx 4000 lumens sq/ft. 2700k soft white flouros.These pics were taken about a week ago, I will try to update soon. Any help is appreciated :wall:

....In the process of making new grow space...

They look good and healthy for your first grow bro. The 1 thing I would definitely recommend is mollasses. Go to your local grocery store and pick up some UNSULPHUERED BLACKSTRAP MOLLASSES. Use it during floering with your water and nutes every watering and watch your buds swell up 20-30% and get super sticky. Start off with 2 teaspoons per gallon and gradually move up to 2 tablespoons per gallon :bigjoint:

Sup Fc nice looking ladie u got what strain is she looks indica 28 dayz veg 33 flower makes her over 2 months nice. how long do u have to veg to get a oz off 1 plant? know it might depend on the strain but about how long?

what r u type of seed u growing bag seeds or seed bank seed?
u use soft white the whole grow isnt that redish color?
soft white = red light
day light= blue light ?
sorry im a noob

still learning things

thanks smo king, I always thought molasses was just to change taste...always good to learn something new.

FCSoldier · Apr 21, 2009

I am using bagseed, it was from some decent bud, but I don't know what kind. I do believe shes mainly indica. I'm not for sure how long, I am only expecting an ounce from mine(wanna guess low). I've only helped with a few outdoor grows for a friend, not too much experience with smaller plants.

No, I use the bright white flouros(5500k?) for the veg... I usually use a couple less lights for veg. so when I switch to flower I can increase the light intensity. Light intensity and color change will help to speed the transition to flower.

Does anyone know if my exhaust fan should be stronger than my intake fan?

ok, quick update, it is now day 37 of flower, pictures were taken last night, day 36 of flower.

Last pic has a clone that I am sexing. for a friends outdoor grow.

Jester22 · Apr 23, 2009

Damn where the blue bud go

those look good u say u veg for 28 and flower for 33+ days rite how big r they now? and r they smelling now?

FCSoldier · Apr 23, 2009

The blue were bad pics, like I said, I wish it looked that way, but those were taken at at weird angle/light and tinted the bud sites blue, looked nice though. I took these pics at the same time as the ones that look blue. I think its a little under 2 ft tall, but I haven't measured, will let you know when I do.

FCSoldier · Apr 24, 2009

some pics of lighting

FCSoldier · Apr 28, 2009

ok, just switched my plan to an 11/13 cycle...I've seen a lot of people talk about it and decided to try for myself...

I expect an overall reduction of yield with faster maturity...

I have some more clones coming and I am trying to make room for them...

I will update with some pics later.

FCSoldier · May 3, 2009

well, all is still going pretty good, i've had lots of leaves yellowing(using up the nutrients) and have pruned quite a bit of them off the plant.

Although I still don't know what strain it is, I am guessing it is (grape ape x?) As one of the 3 seeds I originally started had come from some grape ape I had, but I have no idea what kind of plant it crossed with....Pistils and leaves are turning purple.

Will put some pics up later today after I put her in the light.

FCSoldier · May 3, 2009

ok, so here are some updated pics...taken about 10 minutes ago. Day 47 of flowering.

Kinda hard to see where its turning purple.

Plant is about 23 inches tall...

ShackC · May 3, 2009

Looks nice man, i used high w. cfls and didnt have looks like that, i just need more light. :peace:

FCSoldier · May 8, 2009

ok, I decided to take the top early, the clone I have has pretty much stopped growing vertically and taking the top off my plant lets me get more light to it...

weight 29 grams wet...

timsatx1 · May 9, 2009

man you shouldnt have takin the top off

FCSoldier · May 9, 2009

yeah, I know especially since I just got a 1000 watt MH for my 4x4 room...at least all plants are at the same level now

timmythetooth · May 11, 2009

Hows the smell on that one plant? Im growing just one and plan on flowering early like you did but im just curious on the smell?

FCSoldier · May 11, 2009

I don't smell it much, but I think its because I'm used to it. Has a strong smell up close though.
