SATURDAY
Dammig just typed th all out and i lost it so i doing it again.
Finisnedandinstalled my 6x 50w light. Only 5 heatsinks were in my possession so i only used 5 and one of them isnt worming properly so there is 200w or thedreabouts worth of power. Probabky closer to 150. 2 of them are full spectrum so look blurple but one of them is the one thatbroke.
Look cool anyway. Plants look awesome. Really starting to look like hairy ladies now. They're beautifu l. Myy auto has developed so slowly overtime that i thought these would do the same but as soon as i saw 1 setof pistols almostimmediately loads shot out. :)
Also today i bought a nice centrifugal in-line fan that can handle my carbon filter and some. Second hand, used for one ru n apparently. Annyway it was so cheap, even if breaks its not a great loss. Also it is coming with a speed control so thats good.
When it comes iwill usethe pc fans im currently using as extraction to cool the cobs coz they r dammed hot.
UPDATE - SUNDAY
pretty chuffed with progress. My temperatures appear to have reduced to well within acceptable range. It was hang ing at between 27-28 when i was using the cfls and t5s and its gone down to a maximum of 23 yesterday. Im surprised at this as i actually burnt myself by touching the heatsink of one of the cobs yesterday!
Thoughts have been on my next run and what id like to grow. I thk id like to have a go at something a bit more sativa as they are good for my depression during the day, also im in a bit an unusual position where my virticle height i snt massively restricted, sosomething thats tall an d skinny would go well.
I think, maybe, what ill do is pop the kali ak seed i have, grow it to a reasonable size, clone it 3x to stick in my current cabinet, then ill probably get some autoflowers in the veg area im creating at the moment.
I think if i do this, i will have the selection i need for a daytime smoke as well as a more indica smoke in the autos.
I would like to do maybe i couple of strains of autos, one with at least 1:1 cbd:thc.
I like the look of fastbuds, mephisto or barneys for the seeds. Definately a good way to get both selection and quantit y.
UPDATE - tuesday
Realy happy how theire coming. Buds forming everywhere now. Changing my lights out has dropped temps and with my new fan (when it comes) will drop it even more.I
THURSDAY
starting to see trichomes being produced now. Going to invest in a cheap jewelers loupe. Kush is at ten weeks now, dont think shell takeall that much longer 2-3 weeksi think.
Good luck on this grow adventure! Hopefully it will help you save the money you need for your desired setup 😊 I got a grow tent kit from Amazon which came with 600w HPS, 1.2m x 1.2m grow tent, carbon filter, extraction fan and that saved me a whole load of money than buying each part individually!
May be the best solution for you to save some dollar! Have a look around as there are some pretty good deals for HPS especially for beginner growers! Best of luck!
Iv been brewing some compost tea over the past few days. It’s Absolutely incredible how fast they have grown in the short amount of time it’s been since I gave them some some. Really happy with that! Trying to add photos but I’m on my phone and can’t figure out how on the mobile version of the site! I’ll do it later though
Anyone got any ideas whats wrong with my kush auto? Iv increased feed from 2ml/l to 3ml/l over the past couple of days and it doesnt seem to be lessening massively. I also fed it dilute epsom salts once which didnt hurt but didnt help.
Do i need to increase my veg nutes even more than i already have? Is it that simple? Iv already plucked the first 1 finger leaves, should i pluck them and then i know if there is any more yellow its new growth? That would make sense to me actually, i may have just worked out the solkution by typing to myself.
Iv increased feed but didnt pluck the old yellow leaves so i doknt actually know if either of the things i did worked.
Please chime in anyway if u cab help!
Thanks for the kind words. Yeh 5 girls would be ace. That would stretch me to maximum capacity...atleast. Am imorre liky to get herms growing bagseeds? Iv only done it once. Got some. Eautifuk fruity bud but it had some seeds. Have a feeling these might br the same , hope not.
