Indoor/The Sun/Soil/Fuck if I know **Update**

#566568 - 06/22/11 02:34 PM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Hi Guys, I suppose I am in need of advice...

SWIM has asked some interesting questions and though I think I got the answer, I would like someone who is more of an expert to affirm.

Below are pics of SWIM's plants, and swim is a little concerned, germ was in February and here it is in June and well you can see the progress...

The seed variety is UNKNOWN, taken from various sources just basically to hobby grow it like I do tobacco and food.

The look good to me, I told him it is a matter of time not method, from my research I figure a play with the light cycle might help...

UPDATE

I had posted about these before when I was soil growing them, they failed, but not until I got a few (3) decent clones off and put them in the hydro nursery. I am at week 5 of 12/12 and I just wanted to share a bit.

The Clones were taken in July 20, 2011 and put into rockwool with rooting compound. Here is a pic of one of the clones:

Let them root and establish until August 30th.
They were in 24/0 with Dyna-Gro Liquid Grow (7-9-5), the system is a 12 head drip system I hand made.

After 6 weeks they were quite bushy and getting tall, by this time I retired the mother plants as a hopeless cause, it was all my fault, but I documented everything to ensure I do not forget history. Salt and pH were a constant battle in the soil grow, and since the box was inside there was only so much I could do to repair the issue, in the end the girls were failing and I ended their misery. Though I harvested the hemp fiber, at least I got some twine out of the lanky ladies.

Anyhow, Back to August 30th, I transferred the clones to the grow area, this is an ebb & flow system (hand made) with an 8 bulb fluorescent fixture, Dyna-Pro Liquid Bloom/Bud Blood. I did not do any photography (regrettably) for the first two weeks, I really should have, it would add the post significantly.

To ease the transition I was leaf feeding 7-7-7 OTC nutes, VERY DILUTED.

I kept the water pH at 5.7 in both systems (still no tester for eC/ppm).

Prior to Day 21:
I have had to top the plants, they took off in the flower room, they started in there at about 10 to 12 inches, day 7 they were at 18, Day 14 they were at 30. They took off so fast the tops began to burn a little by the time I would get home from work. I developed a system for water changes (though I am sure it is not new). I check water level and pH daily, make additions and adjustments as necessary, once every two weeks I do a full flush and water change. When I flush I clean the air stones and pump, and in the case of the drip system I clean entire pan system and the drippers.

Day 21 (12/12)

This is the only pic I have, again regrettably, but it is exemplary of what is going on all over the 3x3 area.

Day 35 (12/12)
This is present (Tuesday)and I took care to make a bunch of photos and selected a few for this post:
Same bud from last

Top Cola

View of "The Forest"

So I figure I have about 3 weeks left.
