Mango, Blue Dream and Hashberry CFL Grow Journal

So this is going to be my first Journal, so bare with me. I figured this grow would make a good journal. Reason being is the clones came to me a little fudged up. I thought the readers may like to see this one.
This is my fourth grow. All using CFL's. I have learned quite a bit from my first three grows and also from RIU. Feel free to ask questions and give comments. I hope that they stay positive.

Ok... So when these babies came to me they were not in the best of shape. The two blue dream were both wounded from a bending of some sort and had been mended with some tape. They were also damn near two feet tall. So I trimmed her up nice and pretty as possible and topped both of them. The Mango's and Hashberry's received the same haircut minus the beheading. As of yet that is. They are all about 10 inches tall. Maybe we will top them... maybe we wont. Maybe one of each? Lets see in the next couple weeks.

Got them last night, treated them today with some insect soap (noticed a few gnats), re-potted them and flipped the switch. Stay tuned folks. This should be fun. :leaf:402.jpg404.jpg403.jpg406.jpg

So Im sure the first question that I am going to get asked is going to have something to do with my set-up. So here ya go...

I am in a roughly 2x4 foot closet. I am using two 200 watt CFL's for lighting. Have a couple 42's that I will use later also. I am using a combo of Fox Farms soil and granular nutes (Beastie bloom and Cha-ching). This is going into three gallon pots. I have a vortex fan, hooked up to a Phresh filter to help with the heat and odor. I am running an oscilating fan up top, which is tied into the same timer as the lights and exhaust fan. I have a small fan, ground level, that is on 24 hours to help also.

Here are a few pix from my last grow. The first three are Blue dream and the last three are Skywalker. Pretty much going to be doing this fourth grow the same as these... unless swayed in another direction from the RIU crew.

I checked on the babies this morning. The two blue dream must be having some kind of transplant shock or a N deficiency. The sunleaves are already turning yellow. Also, the younger growth is also staying quite a light green and looks withered, with leaves curling under. Will ride this out a couple days and see what happens. They have gone through some stress over the last week.
 
Here are a few pix of what is going on with my two Blue dream. I dont know what is wrong with them. Maybe one of the readers will have an idea??? The person that I got the clones from had a hps bulb blow up in the garden a few days before he brought them to me. Could it be a chemical burn of some sort? Transplant shock? I did trim a lot off them when I got em. Any help is appreciated.

The Mango's and Hashberry are all coming along fine. Getting some nice new GREEN growth. They are not as sick as their two dream sisters. Kinda on the short side but dont have a separate veg room and those two sick girls were tall and lanky.

So I watered the babies today with two litters each of Ph'd water. Both the Mango and Hashberry look to be coming along pretty well. Lots of new green growth. Kinda on the shorter side but I did kinda just throw them into bloom. The Bluedream on the other hand still looks sick. The new growth looks better but some of the leaves are still curling under. I will keep on eye on her and see if we can ride this one out. The first two pix are Hashberry. Third is Mango and lastly is the sickly Bluedream.
