moms second grow, a pictorial

#598135 - 11/23/11 07:05 AM (13 years, 1 month ago)

first, the grow space used for moms first grow has been improved and added upon...

the old space was turned into the flower room

and this space here was built into a veg/cloning room

and since its in the garage, and winters here in montana suck balls, i gave the walls insulation in hopes of keeping the ladies warm. seems to have helped a lot.

i made the doors to where they just kinda pop out

the veg room

the flower room

still needs some final touches and what not, but over all im pretty happy with my ameture carpentry skills. took me way longer than i had planned though. lol

the plants...

almost 3 months ago, 6 clones of unknown strains were donated to our cause by a fellow grower. they were originally part of a hydro set up, but were planted into a mix of 10 parts sunshine soil mix #1, 2 parts perlite, and 1 part chicken manure. here they are in a temporary room about 2 weeks after transplanting.

we fed them guano during veg. here they are, outgrowing their containers.

this is where things started to go wrong i believe. while i was preoccupied with finishing the room, these plants slipped into a variety of issues... they got pretty root bound for starters. followed by a ph/salt build up/nute lock out issue of some kind. here they are pretty damaged from neglect, and recently flushed and transplanted into 3 gallon pots. they were transplanted into fox farm ocean forest soil, and were cut off of feeding for a while. i wanted to make sure all the salts were flushed out, plus the ocean forest already has some nutes it it.

i took some clones at this time as well. things werent looking good, just want tp make sure i had a back up plan.

not very long after... spider mites. i hit them with a pyrethrin spray (you can see the bottle in the pic above), saw that they were gone and thought i was done with it. fast forward a couple weeks, and the little bastards were everywhere. 3 plants were so far gone i didnt even try a salvage... out with the trash. and after working on the room with various sprays and foggers, i think i got it. no signs of em on the remaining 3 at the moment anyway. fingers crossed and eyes peeled.

they are still in veg at the moment. the plan is to give it a couple of weeks to make sure the mite problem is under control, then to flower. i have also started them back on nutes, fox farm line.

the survivors...

the surviving three clones taken before mites. i really like the symmetry going on.

not the healthiest looking plants, but they have been through a lot. and they dont look that bad... the new growth coming in is a nice healthy green anyway. i am confident they can make a nice recovery. i just need to get them flowering soon.

im thinking about transplanting them into 5 gallon pots before i put them in flower. i checked the ones i took down, and they were pretty root bound. i assume these are the same. im also thinking i want to trim out a lot of that little stuff from the middle of the plants. im wondering though, especially since they lost all their large fan leaves, if doing so would be taking away any needed foliage?
