First grow Chrystal 1

BazingaGirl After buying some really bad cannabis I have decided to take matters into my own hands and start my little garden in the basement. I use it for pain control and am finally off all my pain medication. After some research I went out and ordered a 3x3 tent, 6 inch carbon filter, 600w LED, humidifier, heater, fans, heat mat a dehumidifier and nutrients. It took about 4 days to get the room up and running. I am looking forward to getting some advice and learning how to grow some great cannabis. I ordered seeds from Nirvana. Chrystal and Northern Lights. Only 3 Christal popped and none of the Northern Lights popped, so I ordered 5 more. They gave me a $15 credit to order new seeds. For now I will concentrate on the 2 good Chrystal plants. Chrystal Description Winner of the 2002 Dutch Highlife Cup, Chrystal is a White Widow and Northern Lights hybrid whose icy dense nugs produce a strong kerosene aroma and a gorgeous indica high. I did make my own soil. Organic Soil, Pearlite, Vermiculite, dolomite, mushroon compost.

BazingaGirl ​This week I fed my girls three times and watered them twice. I have a humidifier on all the time along with a circulating heater outside the tent. They are sitting on the heat mat, and I have a circulating fan above the canape. They are downstairs, and winter is upon us. Got to keep their toes warm. Day 11 I tried some LST on both of them. Moved the lights down to 24" The temperature has been from 70-78 degrees and 59-68 percent humidity

BazingaGirl An exciting week indeed. My husband started his indoor garden in the tent and I was seeing gnat's, so I got another tent. That may be kind of over protective but after reading so many articles on how bad gnat's are, I didn't want to take a chance. I got another 3x3 x5 tent, a stronger 900w. LED, fans and knat traps to get the new tent ready. I have a few other plants in there, so I needed the room to grow. I transplanted them both at 14 days. Chrystal 1 went into a 5 gal. cloth pot, Chrystal 2 went into a 3 gal. plastic pot. I watered them with Recharge. Hung the light at 35" until the plants get used to more power. 😎 I am a new grower and would appreciate any feedback I can get. I value your advice and hope to make my first crop a good one. Update 16 days old and 4" tall. They were on their 5th node, so I pinched the top off Chris 1 and cut top off Chris 2. they still felt slightly damp, so I didn't give them anything. Tomorrow I will feed them and use House & Garden Treatement Amino Fertilizer instead of recharge with my nutrients.😊 Update 19 days old and 4.5" tall. Yay they didn't go into shock! I was afraid after ripping the poor little babies heads off.😳I also moved the lights down to 28". I am really keeping a close eye on them. I read that 900w. LED can burn the leaves. My dog Max decided to watch over the crops but the poor guy has cataracts. Update 21 days. Still only 4.5 inches. 😕 Should they be taller? Moved the light down to 21"

BazingaGirl Week 4. I have been doing LST on both girls every day and they seem to be getting bushy. Not sure what to do next. I did see one tiny leaf tip turn brown so all I have been giving them is Recharge with water at 6.2 ph. for the next water. 😁 Update …..Day 27 they got a feeding of 3 tsp. Big Bloom, 1.5 tsp. Grow Big. 3 ml. Cal mag. And 1 ml Amino treatment per gal. Each got about a half a gal. till run off. They are very bushy and nodes and on top of each other. Help…not sure if I should just let them grow and see what happens, or start bending them over. They are still so small. Only 4.5 inches 😏

BazingaGirl Week 5. Day 30...Both plants are very bushy and their internodes are very close together. I have been tucking the leafs under to try and get more light in. I raised my light back up to 30” and started to drop my temperature down from 78-80 during the day to 70-71 at night to try and stretch them out a bit. They are still just 5” tall and the leaves are so tight that some are deforming. Chrystal 2 was so bushy the leaves are not getting any light below so I tied her top up for the day so the lower leaves have some light. 😃 Update.....Day 34 After some positive encouragement from The Bud Whisperer I thought I would do an experiment. I bent Chrystal 2 over and took off some leaves that were blocking the light. Now she is 4” tall. Chrystal 1, I top and defoliated all the inner leaves so the center can get some light. 😎 Thanks to all of you for your kind support 👏👍
