Ok so this is complete new setup etc to my 1st diary grow which was sub par. I have ditched the CFLs etc for a light a friend has lent me which leaves my other lights for dead using half the power but having twice the par value so looks like I will get me a couple.
Also ditched the DWC for 70/30 Coco perlite mix in 25 litre fabric pots, plenty of air for the girls
Also bought some Halo's and built a brain so I have one touch feeding as at this stage 10 secs of feed time provides 250mls per plant and I have yet to see a timer that does that short a time so it's easier to do it when I see the girls in the morning, also have an air stone in the brain to aerate the water at feed time.
Anyways wish me luck on this latest groe
Week 2 ends with everything going well except for one being a bit iffy hahaha, feeding every 3 ish days at half strength nutrient. I let the soil tell me when to feed. Week 3 I will go full strength nutrient basically 10 ml a litre, plus I add some root organics for root health
Week 3 starts off well, just topped all my plants and running on full strength grow juice mixed with a root hormone since yesterday, tomorrow will be putting 4 more plants in to fill gaps so I get a nice even canopy. Strains include.. fruit tingles, critical mass, critical orange punch, jack herar, grape, sour diesel and Alaskan purple. Looking forward to this grow... Cheers
Ok so made some changes, now have 6 plants in big pots in main tent, added a drain step from a repurposed mattress which was metal springs. 100mm high so I can easily see when to stop feeding, fucked off the Halos as they don't water well and now have a single ex shower face running from a brain outside the tent, easier to manage. easier to water thoroughly...The smaller plants in the pics have been put in another space to start veg with a few clones I did of Durban Poison....
Main tent has 4 diff strains now being Durban poison, critical mass, critical orange punch, caramel cream...... Cheers
Week 2 starts today, all the girls have started first buds, so cute and small.....
It's cold as here atm so it's a longer time between feeds.
3verythong is looking good
Ok so week 3 starts tomorrow. I've had to remove a plant as it wasn't doin much and just adjusted what is in there which is 7 plants.
Have small buds on everything so far so good, the Durban poison is a bit weird from light burn although the rest are sweet and it is still growing ok.
Start week 5 and everything is going ok, I upgraded lights to 2 mars hydro ts 1000 and there is definately higer light output, daylight levels + at 18 inch for such a lower electric cost solution. At this stage I'm happier as this is my 2 Nd ever grow and already looks better at 4 weeks than my first grow which I just ended up pulling at 10 weeks to shit buds.
Anyways till next week
Week 6 starts Monday
Ok so all the girls except one are in full bloom, the other is in bloom but half the size buds as the rest so is a late bloomer where as my 2 critical mass prob be ready 2 weeks before the rest because they where not tipped like the others and it's interesting to see the difference between tipped or not, it's all knowledge, also I change from Monstar bud to Ozzie tonic till flush now.
Cheers
