 Day 22 of Veg  [Re: Dayzt]

Yesterday, the plants hit their 3-week mark since seedling. Since they've all been through the LST and topping, I think they are still a bit mad at me...lol. But they're all still looking very healthy! There's some yellowish leaves on the bagseed plant but they're just from below the branch that I tied down so they should have been trimmed anyway - i'll take care of them once there's a bit more room in there to trim. I'm not sure if my clone has taken root at all, but i'll give it a bit more time before I check and plant it in a pot - can't see much inside the container it's in since the stem on that cutting was very short...
Well, on with the pics! Not tons of change since last update but it's been 3 days so again i'm keeping up with the same progression pics. Enjoy!

Thanks shrooms! Yeah that bagseed plant is the biggest one at this point for sure. That was seed that I found in my stash a few months ago from some decent mystery weed. It most likely was grown close by me so I'm guessing that's why it's faster since it's in close to the same 'climate' as it's parents. The other ones are all imports - Dutch seed companies.
I've attached a layout of my plants for everyone so you can tell which plant is which at this stage. Once they are put into flowering (probably in about 2-3 weeks) they'll all get personal names - that way it will be easy to track them right up until smoke-time and I can look back at their development and see what exacted was done to each one. I can get more experience that way and adapt some specific ideas for future grows.

Okay, well today is the next 3rd day which means I should be doing a pic update... but I'll be repotting everything in the next few days, by Wed at the latest so I'll get the next round of pics after they've all be repotted.
Been working on my tent to get it ready for flowering, and so far it's looking good. I still need to finish the electrical so that the light and fans can be plugged in properly and timed for the 12/12 switch. We'll see how the plants react to the repotting and then they'll go straight into the tent for a week or so under the 600w MH before getting switched to the 600w HPS for 12/12. I'm thinking of taking some clones and keeping them vegging in the bathroom under the 400w, but we'll see how things turn out - don't want to stress them out too much!

- The plants are looking good after a successful repot Monday evening!
- Some leaves are a bit droopy looking but still healthy and new bud sites are becoming more and more distinctive.
- I watered them in to their new pots with some straight ph'd water, and tonight they had their first full dosage of veg nutes in the new pots.
- My RD clone from the topped plant didn't make it = the stem was far too short. Oh well... still not sure if I'm going to take any clones this time 'round or not.
- Tomorrow evening, all plants will go under the 600w MH for another few weeks I'm guessing. They still need to get about 3 inches taller at least before I even start to think about flowering.
Pic update tomorrow night after everything is setup in the new tent under the 600!

Okay, here's the update! Everything is up and running now under the 600w in the new tent! The ladies are all nice and comfortable in their new 3 gal pots and have perked up a lot since last night's feeding. I'll be watching them closely now that their relocated - It's the first time i've put anything in that tent so I hope it's going to be okay!
Here's some pics of the plants and one of my setup - enjoy!

Okay it's been about 4 days since my last update - been watching my plants very close in this past while since it wasn't looking all that promising there for a bit...
- My temps are great in the tent now, got a fairly steady 70-73 F with around 50% humidity.
- The plants are now starting to respond nicely and have grown about and inch and a half in the past day or so.
- Two out of the 5 are showing sex - both females! That's the bagseed plant and 1 of the dragons.
- The 3-leaved dragon is looking very 'exotic' and is a very bright green color with sturdy looking foliage and stem - she's going to be a real star!
- The Dreamtime plant is very distictive with a dark green color and stragly looking leaves - just like the other Dreamtime plants looked, but growing faster now as well with very healthy looking leaves and more bud sites than I remember it having...
...I may take a few pics this week and post 'em, we'll see. Anyone out there want to see new pics?

 Week 4, Day 5 of Veg [Re: Dayzt]

Here's the pic update - decided to get it done this evening. I'm happy with how they are starting to respond now - they seem a lot more comfortable with their new home!
There's a single pic of each plant and a group shot, plus an extra one at the end, top down of the exotic looking Red Dragon with the sets of 3 leaves. Nice and green! =)

Week 5, Day 5 of Veg [Re: Dayzt]

Well, i'm approaching the 6 week mark which is where i'd planned to switch the plants over to 12/12. They look like they should be ready by then, but I may wait until the weekend to switch 'em all over.
Each plant is still looking really unique and the rest of the journey will be quite interesting to see which ends up performing the best!
On with the pics!!

That looks really nice man. What type of reflector do you use? What type of fan do you use? What are the demensions of your cab? And if you dont mind me asking how much money in electric are you spending to keep your cab running? I'm really curious cuz I'm gonna be building something similar to this.

Thanks Trip!
- The reflector is the one in the below ebay link - 600w cooltube MH/HPS
http://cgi.ebay.ca/DIGITAL-AIR-COOL-TUBE-GROW-LIGHT-600-WATT-HPS-MH-600W_W0QQitemZ330399298648QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4ced553458
- The small white fan is just a regular desk-fan with a high and low setting, very simple.
- The intake in the bottom left corner has a 170 cfm inline fan in it but I haven't been using it much yet since it was lowering my temps a bit too much.
- The tent (better pic at the below link to my other grow journal..) is 96x48x78 in size. Lots of room in there so I'm going really spread the girls out once they get bigger in order to get the most out of my light and space.
http://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/246834-bagseed-barneys-blue-cheese-2.html
- Electric bills haven't been bad - maybe about 20-30$ more than normal but nothing extreme, and I've been running a 400w MH for vegging too!
Hope that helps! =)

Sweet man, ya that helps a lot. I dont want my room to be expensive. So thats sweet to hear that it has only ran you an extra 20-30 dollars. I'm thinking about getting a 250 CFM fan, good to hear that your 170 was lowering temps a lot. I think I might build myself a grow box and paint it white on the inside. But I'm happy to see that yours is working out really well. It has inspired me. One more question, what are you doing for smell?

For controlling the smell, I have a carbon filter in the tent which has a built-in 270 CFM fan - it sucks the air into it, scrubbing it as it pushes that air through my light's cooltube and then up out the top of the tent.

 6.5 Weeks Veg - Starting Flowering [Re: Dayzt]
#355762 - 01/30/10 10:02 PM (14 years, 9 months ago) |
|

Ok - well i'm now at 6 and a half weeks of veg for these girls and they're on thier last light cycle now, with the timer set to turn off the lights at 7 am tomorrow morning. Just before 7 pm tomorrow night i'll remove the ducting from my cooltube and change the bulb to my HPS one for starting flowering!
Night-time temps will have to be monitored closely now since no light means no heat, and my basement isn't super warm... we'll see. I bought a small space heater today so I can always set it up near my intake fan and have it suck warmish fresh air into the tent during the dark cycle so it doesn't get too cold.
Here's a pic update. The first two are groups shots and then there's a pic of each plant with the last pic of the biggest red dragon in the center - looks exciting already!

Would you reccomend a cooltube as a reflector? I was thinkin about getting something like that but people told me they dont reflect the light well. Your plants are looking healthy though man, keep up the good work.
