Nothing special, 5 seeds from bag of some decent weed came across recently; planted in peat pods and three days later 2" sprouts. Will include basic pictures soon.
Went to the Depot of Homes & purchased those jiffy caps (peat pods) which i think are great to start off w/ your seeds. A neat trick is taking a matchbox, removing the rough side (strike pad) & gluing it on the inside of the box. place seeds inside and shake vigorously for 10 seconds. This can help thin the edge of the seed allowing for more water penetration.
Subjected such seeds in peat pods, added warm water & closed the lid and watch it create its own greenhouse effect.. OOOooOOooo.... AaaaaAaaaahhh... then into rockwool
(1) 85W CFL + (2) 32W T8 = for right now, just to get the seedlings started on they're journey to eventual happiness. Cups holding seedlings in special box w/ reflective material so enough light bounces around. Expect veggie stage in a week
Steps to COME! ======================================== The actual "vegetation" period will last about two - three weeks + 6-7 expected flowering times.
Flowering Stage : HPS 400W. I have included my closet plans in a separate thread of this forum.
Thanks for viewing, check back for updates ... probably just weekly or randomly to answer any questions or to respond to comments to better my grow. It's been a while since I've had such luck
and the last time i grew weed it looked like this... in my bing (mini bong)
i feel like i had stunted they're growth and they have finally reverted back to normal growth. This is about . . . two weeks old? From here is the actual veggie stage now i have 2-3 sets of norm leaves & i had started juicin' them 2-3 days ago, and they are doing much happier since. I came home from work and it smelled like weed in my grow room new growth is expanding in size and a lush green. So far, so good!
looking at a week and a half ago (11/22 when i updated the 1st post as my restart date) to now, they have grown exponentially, so i don't feel as if i have dangered their health too bad.
just an update. After changing the tea mix the plants have been reacting very positively.
i'd say a week and a half and i'm going to start to put 12/12. plants should have increased in size about 4x by then since this is the period of rapid growth... I am going to purchase some mylar, clean the top of the tub & mylar the surface to reflect light up as I only have a 400W HPS. I am going to be building my grown screen soon to help w/ reflectivity & light disbursement. For now anyway. I have a lot of extra cash coming to me in the next few weeks so i'll be making a way to get the odor to be displaced when it comes to the ripening stage. . . . assuming i have at least one femm out of the now 4 plants. I removed one, it was suffering an failing on life support and I Felt that even if it survived I wouldn't want to smoke its bud if it were a femm, bad genes at that point.
I hope to at least get 1 or 2 of these four. Last time i had 3 plants were all males, so, i was not happy.
Has anyone ever used the product ONA? Odor Neutralizing Agent... it's a gel that is supposed to help mask up other smells
this is day three of the HPS light... adjusted pH to perfecto 6.0 today & reformulated the mixture with more big bloom & a heavy top water dose. Tomorrow I am letting it dry (THE ROCKWOOL) and then I will flush w/ pH adjusted water. I feel happy to be able to offer pH balance to my plants. I hope to see this leaf fringing to cease within the next two days as the plants adjust.
I have added some STICKER/PENETRATOR & Big Bloom to a spray bottle to juice up the plants to get rid of the stress asap. Plants an hour later have already perked up a lot.
had a 2nd tub and change the top over, now in bloom nutes, i think it may be a bit high on the ppm meter, will be watching the plants to see reaction over the next two hours or so.
day 2 in 12/12, still haven't seen defining female characteristics or the pistils but the bloom nutes should help that, waiting the first week.
One of the plants (a suspected female) has not created a complex rooting system into the tank yet. Removed a confirmed male today. I can spot these bastards out big time.
Hey man glad to see your back. your plants look great btw!
So, an update is due I suppose.
This week has been a challenging, and very argumentatively the most annoying week that I have had. First, it starts like this...
So i go fishing, right, and I assume that everything is gonna be OK while I'm smoking joints out in lake kissimmee bass fishing, right, and so here I am enjoying my time when my girlfriend calls me. Mind you, its about 11pm @ night and i've got a submersible lantern in the water & am enjoying myself and the conversation goes as follows:
"Hello?"
"Hey honey somethings wrong with your light"
"What are you talking about?"
"Your light is still on"
"Shit WTF, is the timer on?"
"Yeah"
"Whats the dial say"
"3pm"
"It's fucking eleven!!"
"Alex must have messed with it"
"ALEX?!"
"Yeah, i was watching him"
")%@#($&@)#(%&*@#()*%@)#%"
and the rest is unnecessary.
The idea here is that my old lady was watching her retarded brother Alex. Somehow, he was playing in the room (which this is a closet grow, mind you) and he must have somehow turned & played with the timer dial. After having her fix it and banned him forever from our room with my mighty power and since I wear the pants thats how it goes. . . So, undoubtably, i noticed delayed growth in one of my females, I believe she became stressed from the extra light and then not having a standard 12hour dark period. The other plant seems to suffer still from not being rooted into the tub, this has come as a disappointment, and I think it is coming time to change the tub again. There has become a smell to the nutrients, and I am sure the plants could use a refresher at this point. I have already sinced added pH balanced water (2 gals) to drop the EC content a bit and the plants have reacted positively to that also. They have since perked up a bit; one plant is becoming a shrub while the other is very sativa like in growth and is exhibiting a lot of floral noding. Very happy, will probably clone her over the other. The other had seen too much stress, I worry for its quality but we'll see how that goes.
