First time growing! Ordered some seeds from sensi seeds to see if they’d actually arrive!! They did all 3 seeds germinated! One sees I soaked in water for 36/40 hours then planted in a 70% coco 30% perlite mix! Other two seeds were planted straight into the pots!
Amazing enough all popped up. Only watered no nutrients! They were kept on a shelf under a old uv fish tank light! Still not sure how this system works
So went and brought a grow tent set up in my outside shed! I’ve got the intake vent sucking in fresh outside air?? All carbon filter and fan set up with extraction going out the other end of my shed!
Just introduced canna coco a and b nutrients I made up a ten litre bucket of water and added 40 ml each of canna coco a and b the day before so it could settle as unsure on feeding! So I’m currently feeding around 50ml to each pot as don’t wanna over feed!! Still new to the game! Worries are my tents getting to cold during the 8 hours it’s turned off! Added a little humidifier as levels are low on my humidity reader 39 ph and 25/29 degrees heat!
So this week I topped all my sensi seeds also have started introducing cal mag I’m feeding each plant around 500 ml every other day just before lights go out still running 18/6 light system two desk fans blowing air around! Two humidifiers as struggling to keep ph at 50! Not sure if I should buy a oil filled radiator as night time temperature is still around 15 degrees when lights and fans turn off! Not sure if I should be adding more nutrients? Some lst work on plants as some leafs are getting huge! Not sure if I should cut them?
So it’s 33 days since germination! I’ve still got massive fan leafs in the space pot! All seem to be growing well! Is it time to switch to flowering mode now? What ph level do I need for flowering? Do I need to move my light closer than 2 feet away? Been looking online at canna coco nutrients and there seems to be so many! My babies as I call them now have come this far and I want to hopefully get the best results I can get!! Am I over feeding as giving them around 600/800 ml of water with canna coco a and b also cal mag! But unsure on when to feed during flowering mode any help is welcome cheers
So proper calculation!! It’s exactly 5 weeks today since germination! Been getting cold temperatures during lights out period!! So just introduced a oil heater.. when lights are out now I’m keeping a desk fan running all the time with the carbon filter fan also! Oil heater comes on when lights go out but is only reaching a temperature of 21 degrees which is better than 14-15 that I had been getting without the heater! Still unsure weather I should be putting into flowering stage yet but that’s what I’ve decided to do! Getting bigger leafs still and unsure if to trim? One of my stems did snap as maybe a little to hard on the lst! It’s made the perfect clone tho! So done some research into clonex??? Another topic that’s tricking my brain!! Introduced more light into my grow tent also which is a fan operating 600w led grow light! Not sure if the light I already have and a led one will make a difference as there not the same?? But still they look healthy??
Sensi skunk! Fem not auto! Few other bcn critical fem seeds planted around 3 weeks after the sensi seeds! Any signs that they actually female? First time growing! Some have been topped and lst tried! Also removed a few fan leafs from the bottom! Feeding every two days one hour after lights come on! Main 3 big plants are about 42 days old since germination so I put them into flowering 8 days ago! Not sure if it was too early! When lights go of I have a oil heater that keeps the temperature at the same level 25-29 degrees is this correct? I’m currently using canna coco a and b nutrients with cal mag my mix is 40 ml of canna a 40ml canna b 40ml cal mag mixed in to tap water 10 litres! I’ve feed them this mix since they were two weeks old! Recently feeding 1.8 litres every other day as stated above!
Should I be adding flower nutes now?
Up the feeding level?
Few leafs look like there getting a few brown spots! Do I need to increase cal mag help needed as come this far and don’t wanna mess things up as cost me a fortune so far cheers
Well this week I’ve tried lollipop on my main plants also removed a lot of fan leaves that we’re stopping air circulation also light reaching down to growing flowers beneath! Introduced canna flores and more cal mag to my feed! Also introduced another led light and turned up ballast light upto 400w keeping temperature at 26 when lights go out also it’s hitting temperatures of 28! When lights are on! Is this is an issue as I’ve removed my humidifiers! As been getting good readings without using a humidifier in a good few weeks now! They seem to be looking good! But still having to do research as would love to create some big colas!!!
Second week into flowering now!
So introduced a scrog net into my grow tent this week and tied some high growing stalks down a little so the others can try and reach there height! Whether I’ve added the net to late is a different question and answer!! My first grow so still learning as I grow haha! Temps been good and they look like there flowering heavier each week which is a bonus! Still unsure on the flush system when harvest is nearing!
So today my 3 big sensi skunk fem seeds are 71 days old today! Temperatures been good!
Feeding every other day 2 litres each plant!
But then I have a auto gsc fem plant which I reckon could be getting ready to harvest before my bigger plants! Increased canna a+b nutrients! Beginning to smell a little fruity in my tent now! All plants still look healthy which is pleasing coming into week 10! The buds seem like there fattening up abit more now each day! Come so far just don’t wanna mess things up now! Any advice is welcome still especially now harvest time is next cheers
So forgot to add last week I took out the scrog net as I personally think the plants were to far into flowering now to be trying to tie them down! This week I’ve been trying to check trichomes!! Also I’ve added canna pk13/14 nutrients! As I think there getting closer to harvest time! I’m planning on using this 13:14 for two weeks feeding?? Then flush for 7-10 days with just normal soft tap water ph’d down to 5.8!!??
Also ordered a microscope just waiting on arrival! So I need to keep checking these trichomes until turning a little milky?? But overall still happy with my first grow so far! Notice leaves are turning yellow do I trim them? Or let them die naturally? Any help still needed cheers
So exactly 12 weeks old today I’m checking trichomes every other day atm as there still clear!! Hopefully another week of feeding nutrients then the flush before harvest! Still happy for my first grow! The girls scout cookie auto plant has been impressive and the bcn critical has also grown steady!! Leaves are turning more yellow and bud hairs seem to be curling over more each day which is a positive! Feeding every two days, trying to starve them as much as possible! Do I reduce my light hours in the last two weeks of harvest???
So flushed for a week now and harvested all but one plant! Personally think I timed harvest time on a few plants wrong as they seem quite dark! Also picking at fan leaves very late on certainly didn’t help on two of the plants but overall for my first grow quite pleasing but know a lot can be improved on for my next grow! Personally also added canna pk13/14 to late into flowering time
