800w top feed hydro, GDP and OG Kush - grow # 2 *COMPLETED* 1
#247210 - 07/08/09 12:50 PM (15 years, 4 months ago) |

It's almost time for my second grow to get underway. I am super excited about this one. I've got some good plans for this one. I will germinate the seeds on 07/22/09. That is two weeks from today. The next two weeks I will be preparing. Gathering additinal equipment and materials and what not. I would start it today but I have to be out of town for five days in mid July and don't want to deal with that like I did last year. I am not sure how many plants I am going to grow. I think i only have 8 seeds total (all GDP except for one OG Kush that fell out of the bud in the picture below).
I need a 400w MH bulb and more rockwool. I know i need other things too but those are just off the top of my head. My stuff is in storage so I will need to remove all that soon too.
HERE ARE ALL THE WEEKLY UPDATES BUT NOT ALL THE PICTURES:
day 6
I saw my camera sitting right there so I snapped a few of the babies for ya'll. Each picture is a different plant and the first is OG Kush and the rest are GDP. 7 total. One GDP is missing but looks similar to the others. There's only one runt at this point. You know which one.
OG Kush
There it is the first plant pics of the thread. The journey has begun.....
Day 14 Update
Day 21
It's also 50" tall. You will see the pictures. I will probably cut off a few inches of the pipe. we'll see. Also, just so everyone is aware. I will only update the original post's subject with the date when i post a full update with pictures (saturdays). ppm is at 800 now. I changed the rez and ran a flush through the plants for about 30 minutes. As you can see i also put up mylar. I will finish putting it up tomorrow. For now you can see what i spent the last few hours on. also, i can't fucking remember if i said this earlier. I got another ballast and mh and hps bulbs today which should be here in a week or two. Next i will get a reflector. As you can see in the pictures the plants are growing just as I would expect for a GDP. In case you guys missed it I came across these seeds on craigslist. Some guy in Cali had a posting about selling GDP seeds so i called him up and he sent me these 7 seeds. He showed me a link to his youtube vid of the herb and it looked fucking spectacular. Anyway, here's the pictars!!
Special Update Day 24
I tried to fim a plant tonight. It is the plant that is farthest along. It was working on it's 6th and 7th node when i circumsized it.
I took a real close look at this picture as I prepared my cut line. I used a pair of small unused scissors. I sanitized them and used gloves. A lot of teks recommend bending a razor to make the cut but i figured i'd just wing it.
^The one I topped (fim) was the the one in the far back left.
^You can see the shadow of my finger on the leaf from the reflection of the mylar.
Update Day 28
The red eyes indicate a fimmed plant in the first two pictures.
^Those first two pictures are also the fimd plants.
^Those first two are also fimd. I am having doubts about having done the chop low enough. We'll see.
^Look in the center cavity of that one and see if you can tell what that dark discoloration is at the top of the stem where the cut was made. I dont know what it is.
DAY
Day 35 Update!!
DayDay 42, Flowering Day 2 As Soon as i have i'd the sex of all the plants i will add the screen. DayDay 49, Flowering Day 9 DayDay 56, Flowering Day 16 DayDay 63, Flowering Day 23 ^Those first three are the bud leaf. As I stated earlier it literally couldn't be in a more awkward spot for me to get to. These plants have filled up half of this closet now. That third picture are a few buds from the bud leaf plant. These pictures are from 10/03/09.DayDay 70, Flowering Day 30 These next one's show some bud leaf. I've spotted three different leafs that are producing calyx's and trichome covered leaves. Weird. ^That's all those. The last two you have to look on the far left hand side to see the development. Like i said, it's almost impossible to get back there and a picture taken. DayDay 77, Flowering Day 37 ^Budding leaf pictures^ Day[gradient:#0004FF,#7A0406] Day 84, Flowering Day 44 (6 wks 2 days)[/gradient] ^More bud leaf pics^ The rest of these pictures are of the main cola the bud leafs are growing from.

Alright dude! I think it's coming together pretty well. It took me a good month or 2 to get dialed in to growing again... It's like an art.
Edit: Those buds in the jar look F-ing fantastic!!! Lucky guy, that seed will almost surely bring you a female! At least in my exp. that's what happens when you get a lone seed in bud like that.

Then you came to the right place my friend.
Inverted, i hope you're right about the females. Even if i can get one female I plan on stressing it down with a scrog and trying to get the whole screen filled.

Can't wait for those plants to start.
I have so much to do in the grow room. will have an air cooled reflector in the next grow and a new T5 light for clones,moms and seed making. I can't wait to play with my new toys.
Going to pull up a chair and watch.

Funny you should mention that. I was just looking at my grow area and it's completely full of junk. clothes, lots of wine, golf shit, camping gear, etc. it's going to take me a while to get it all out of there and situated the way I had it for the last grow. I'm going to keep it basically the same, but am thinking about adding mylar up around it. The next couple weeks will be interesting. I've acquired even more shit since the last grow and my place is kinda small. Once again, here's a copy of the floor plan....
Will be using the same equipment as well...
For the first week or so I will use the florescent tubes then switch to the mh when i think they can handle it. I will add nutrients sooner this time than i did in my first grow. Maybe around the time I change to the MH light. any thoughts?

Started the germination process today. I also removed a ton of shit from my closet and replaced it with my grow stuff. Just got back from the first four tool shows and am exhausted and will post more later on...

I checked the seeds a few hours ago. Already, 5 of the 8 seeds have at least cracked through the seed. They already seem eager to grow. I moved them to a moist washcloth. After a 24 hour soak.

7 of the 8 have broken out now and I have got my shit about half set up. I am deliberating on which way to position the tray. I can face it to the south or facing to the west like it was last time.
I need a lot more stuff than i initially thought. which is a problem since i almost literally spent all my money on tool tickets and flights and posters and shit. First thing I need are rockwool cubes. Then nutes. I will make a list tomorrow and go to the store to get my minimum requirements. I will also be spending my saturday cleaning everything. it's going to be a real pain cleaning all those hydroton pellets. Not sure how i am going to do that just yet.

DAY 1
I woke up this morning with a killer headache and a nasty sore throat. I took a nap and my headache is gone. Sore throat is sticking around though. The last thing i wanted to do was clean that hydroton when i had my headache. I can do it tonight now. I went to the hydro store and got rockwool and some t12 lights - 40w and 3,300 lumens and 4100k each. The other ones i have are the same. I went to the hydrostore 2x. The first time i got half of what i needed. I had a list too. Anyway, its not a far drive and i got my shit. They are charging $28 for a quart of FloraNova Grow formula. I couldn't believe it. I can't even afford that right now. lol. Oh well i get paid this week. I will see if i can find it cheaper online. Im sure i can. So, tonight I will dunk the cubes for a bit and place the sprouts inside them. I will also clean all the hydroton and let it dry out again overnight. If there is time left tonight I will clean the other stuff from last grow too. The tray, air and water pumps, hoses, etc. I will show you all some pictures of the sprouts when there's something to see i guess. I took some pictures of the set up last night and will post those in a few hours. I still haven't decided which way to orient the tray. I will set up the lights quickly and take a few pictures so that i can gather YOUR input over the next week or so.

Alright! The first original pictures of this grow log are here. This weekend has been a lot of work getting shit cleaned up. The hydroton is fucking brand new now.
^haha, look how clean that is. I spent a long time cleaning that white tray. Then I filled it with hydroton.

all but two of the little ones have raised up and naturally dropped the seed coating to the ground. There's one seed that has yet to pop out of the soil and another one that is hanging low to the ground. My plan is to lower the four lights to within inches of the tops of the plants for the next week. Then i will introduce a metal halide bulb.

What up Brow! How was the show? Killer I'm sure. I heard the songlist is exactly the same as 07.
Good luck with your next batch. Sounds like your beans are trying to bud already!

The shows were great! The setlist is basically the same, minus Wings/10k days. The visual presentation is a bit different. I loved every show. Everyone should see tool before they die. Life simply isn't complete without that kind of experience. Anyway, the little seedlings are doing great. some of them already have roots sticking through the bottom of the small rockwool cubes. I will probably put them all into bigger cubes at the same time. Then I will put em in their final place in a week or so. Then I can add the MH Bulb and be on our way. I plan on doing fim'n all the plants. I think i will do that right before flowering. Actually I will reread that training thread and see what I should do after that information is absorbed again. Thanks for stopping by!
