Things we grow and the thoughts on it...

Day 9: HFOG coming in nicely. Going up in nutrients a bit and adding some BB to the mix....but not until 2night with the blue uv....just water voodoo +....roots to take in these nutrients. Got some Carb Load in a few to add to the mix these next 3 weeks..... Is is possible to slow AF veg cycle through dimming light and make add 2 weeks to get fatter roots for nutrient uptake? Day 10: Not much happening right now. Just a not on my ratio....looks like alot early but with with my mix with 3 liters of water so really diluted mix but trying to ensure that it's getting introduced to the roots system. My Voodoo+ kind of helps but again got a couple of bottles of Tarantula and Piranha coming today to help with root size and density. Also expecting my Grease 2day. Day 11:My HFOG's have really taken flight. My GC's which I germinated paper towel method a couple of days later are coming on fast but not as big yet. Just casually observation, keeping the humidifier full and gonna do some height adjustment later in this 2nd week. Concentrating on the grow and getting these roots grounded and full but not over saturation as well as getting only the water voodoo mix. Been kind of free writing in a journal that I keep and decided on 4 day feeding cycles and 4 day watering. Feeding closer to the end of the light cycle. Lights to uv @ 1am so try to feed @10 pm. Gives the plants time to process the food b4 the rest cycle starts from 1:00am until 6:15. I go back to lights with the uv. I water around 1:30pm. I do this 4 times a week in a 7 day. just an article I was reading by Steve Davis | Published: April 15, 2014 Auto-flowering marijuana is popular because it’s easier and faster than growing “photoperiod” (regular) marijuana. Using feminized autoflowering marijuana, all you do is plant seeds, take care of them properly, and harvest good weed within 50-100 days max. You don’t have to worry about triggering flowering or change your lights to 12-12. Autoflower marijuana flowers when it wants to, usually within 2-3 weeks of germination. Because autoflower cannabis has a shorter and different life cycle than photoperiod, use these methods to get the biggest buds and the most cannabinoids from autoflower plants… Autoflowering cannabis has a way shorter than usual time to develop main stalk, ancillary stalks, and root systems when compared to regular marijuana. Auto-flowering marijuana only has from germination until about 2-3 weeks into its life cycle before it starts flowering on its own. You have to quickly jam a lot of inputs into your auto-flowering plants to get top performance. Help your autoflowering marijuana plants develop their healthiest roots possible. One way of doing that is by using House & Garden Roots Excelurator…for the entire time your plants are growing. It’s expensive, it creates faster-growing, better-branching roots. Pre-treat and continue to feed the root zone with beneficial root zone microbes including Voodoo Juice, Piranha, and Tarantula. These colonize the root zone and the marijuana roots, adding root bulk/branching, functional support, and protection so roots are better able to take in hydroponics nutrients or organic elements, water, and oxygen…and are also protected from root zone pathogens that rot marijuana roots. Seedlings can be hurt by too much light, including sunlight, HID, and LED. But give them as intense light as possible as early as possible. This means you might start with T-5 high output fluorescent, and switch to LED or HID within a week. If your young plants’ leaves start curling down or they aren’t growing vertically, it’s a sign they can’t handle that much light. Move the lights further away from them, or put them off to the side, rather than directly under the light. 9 ish....came up with a great idea and folded my pots down so that my babies can get more exposure to the fan, the humidifier and a more even distribution of light. not sure what I was thinking but think this is really gonna make a difference. The dirt around my pots also shifted and buried more of the stem but not really worried since the soil has alot of nutrients. Also have been gently working the soil and pushing in bit just to have a more solid base. Tomorrow will be feeding roots and hopefully my Carboload will get here soon so i get start making these girls into women!! Day 12: Just a humidifier check and slight light adjustment as my leaves are curling just a bit. Gonna try and keep the watering to a minimum, maybe around 1 and another closer to lights off. Not really not wanting to overwater but needing to get nutrients in. It's a really fine line. Still use the spay bottle but have a 1 liter waterer with a thin nozzle so try to go 1/4 inch around the plant for root growth. Took a picture showing my stem development and going pretty nicely. Getting thicker and with the pots folded down the fan has better access to those stems making them grow stronger. On another note my Bud Blood is arriving today!!! Yes..(Napoleon Dynamite ish).....complimenting my Dream kit and the CarboLoad and extra Voodoo 2morrow. With that everything else that I add to my kit will be to either test or is a known benefit....(yeah checking out those Grease Finisher's and it's some incredible stuff from what I hear and read.) But not gonna sweat it as I'm already able to grow Connoisseur Quality Bud that makes you appreciate a quality smoke. 😃 Day 13: Was reading last night regarding the blue uv and i've gone way overboard with the 24 uv lights so cut it off an got an hour early start after complete darkness. no watering or feeding until 2night. About halfway through my 2week of nutrients so just gonna complete this week feeding before I go with a new batch Thursday night. Been thinking about the next feeding cycle and my concoction in a 1.5ml per gallon mix. Thinking 1 gallon with 1.6 ml mix with ancient earth, grandma igg, carboload, b-52 and rhino and a lower dosage maybe .9 of og grow, Big bud, Bud Candy and Super bud x... This 3rd week is where I'm not only looking for bigger stem growth but get the pre-cursor for flowering programmed into the grow. When it looks ready probably in week 4, gonna go with the Bud Blood to ignite the blooming stage. Today though just observing while working and absolutely no water or nutrients. On another note, took it down a milk crate to try and make the plants stretch a bit and reach it's full potential and lighting 1400 ish. Kind of short and stubby but that's ok. Just want the plant to have a strong structural rooting system to hold these big buds. 7ish So working on a formula for a feed 2night. Looking @ my plants and know that this is kind of strange, but think to coco soil is gett'n at my plants and I did not start with any sensi cal so not holding back. I got 10 bottles of gallon bottled waters to and mixing a gallon @ a time. So this 1 gallon round will be 10ml of Sensizym, 10 ml sensi cal, 8ml grow followed a 10 ml ancient earth, 10ml grandma igg 8ml carboload, 6ml Big bud 6ml Bud Candy, 4ml Bud X 6ml B-52 and 4ml of Rhino... Day 14: Absolutely no feeding or watering until Wednesday morning. With the nutrients from yesterday seeing where this is going and very content. Some of my leave were drooping I'm assuming from the onslaught of Blue UV last week. Not sure if I hurt the grow with that tactic but the roots are incredible dense right now and like what I am seeing. The leave are starting to straight out again and did some modest training with some bamboo sticks. On another note....that day starts 2morrow(you know the ones that send their leaders into space) and I'm almost certainly getting the Vevor 8 bucket DWC......game changer? Not sure but think the maintenance will be alot easier and since i grow next to the laundry room in my basement, easy access to drainage and water. I dream about having photo's napping that at any time I can hit the switch and flower. Plus the roots intake can came for some huge plants so be on the lookout for post on that Day 15: So went out with my gf yesterday and ran into a guy that I know that has a few years and a few grows and we were chatting grow stuff and I told me something quite shocking! He told me while staring into my eyes, "your probably gonna have to kill a few of your girls".......Kill My Girls???!!!.....WHUAT!!!!!! He laughed and said yeah there are gonna be some grows where your not quite in the zone, but thats the beauty of growing.....learning to cultivate through trial and error, chit chat and smok'n! So I watered my plants @ 1pm a nice healthy dose of Voodoo,Piranah,Tarantula and told them that I loved them and will do my best not to hurt them or over feed.
