First of all, thank you guys so much for your support I really appreciate it! You all are such a great community i already got loads of help! As mentioned in the title, this is my first grow ever. The soil is already packed with nutrients for atleast 4 weeks as seen on the pictures. Going to start training tomorrow, we will see how that will work out. Top left is Durban Poison (mostly sativa) top right is Nebula (50-50) bottom left is California Hash Plant (mostly indica) and bottom right is Trainwreck (60 indica - 40 sativa), all of them are clones. Hope we will get theese beauties to full bloom! Edit: Didn't start to trim right away as they were too small.. the nebula goes off fast, durban poison too :)

Week two starting, put down the light by 10 cm to avoid streching the plants too much. Baught a ph-meter to measure the tap water, we have a 7.4 here,guess i need to get ph-down next.. I'm a bit worried about the california hash plant, all the others are a good third further. I really want to do topping today/tomorrow and maby do some defoliation. Will start watering them daily (haven't watered them all week) about 150-200ml so they will stay nice and wet. Let's see how that all works out :) Edit: finally did the topping on the durban poison and nebula! It went pretty smooth, not much to complain about. The new setup is exactly mirrowed from the old one to prevent themfrom growing in only one direction. Edit: Starting with FIMming on the Trainwreck

Yo guys, week three just started and you can already see great progress. The nutes in the soil will last for another week. Got myself an air humidifier, got it standing in the room, holds the humidity at appr. 60%. Got a ph-down for the tap water to get it down from 7.6 to 6.6. I can‘t really tell why the Calofornia Hash Plant stays so small, but the rest is exploding, doubled their size last week even though i topped/FIMmed and defoliated them a little. So far for week 3 - day 1 😄

Yo guys, already at week 4. Can‘t believe how fast time passes, and how well they are doing. I‘m worried about the California Hash Plant.. it‘s already turned a few leaves yellow. I think i over-watered it a little, so i stopped, lets see how that will work out. Reswt is doing good, i need to top the Durban Poison, probably gonna do that in the next few days, i will keep you guys up to date!

Week 5 already starts and with it some problems. Started giving nutes today, but they don‘t like it.. Some of them turned a bit yellow. Everything else is great development but the Trainwreck still falls behind. Maby too much watering. Edit (Day 4): Okay guys, it's official. I f*cked up bigtime. The problems were getting worse, so i thaught it would be a great idea to measure the EC... Well guess what! I was shooting up 2 mS (1,28 ppm). I immediately started flushing the soil, putting through 4 liters (about 1 gallon) of pH'd tap water. Got it down to 1.2-1.6 mS but i didn't want to stress it too much. I will do that the next few times. But hey, now i know what f*cked up my Trainwreck 😅 Damn that was close.. One more thing: I FIMmed the Nebula on the two ends of the topped branches to see what happens and i main-lined the rest of them. At last i defoliated some of the leaves. Wish me luck to get theese beauties back to the road!

Damn right we did it. After all that stress with the Natrium-burn, we finally got our babies back to normal. Last week was just getting the ppm down to a little bit more realistic value.. I'm pretty surprised, they managed to still keep alive. Well, you can see on the pictures, that they already managed to catch back up, and i'm really relieved. -> no more nutes for them! the soil still has enough nutes for at least another 1-2 weeks. Okay, thats enough about the burn, let's talk about the rest: Trainwreck: Didn't do much to her, as she has already got enough stress through the burn (yup, mentioned it again 😅) just cleared it out a little and bent down the branches a little bit. Durban Poison: Damn that thing is indestructible, topped 2x (4 main branches in total) wich should be totally enough, still raising above the skies, with a good color. The bottom leaves are a little yellow(-ish) but it already fades away and the green takes over again. Nebula: That girl got topped once at the beginning of my grow (if you can still remember), but the lower branches were too strong to just cut them away, so i left them. I still wanted to have good results on the topping, so I fimmed the tops, just to see how well that works out (see last week), btw it worked out great! They both split up into 4 even branches. California Hash Plant: Just simple main-lining and defoliation, you can see that on the pictures of last week, now she starts to get her dark-green stain back. Phew that was alot.. if you followed until now: thanks for reading! hope that burn was all, don't want to imagine what that would have ment for them. (probably would have killed them if I checked a bit later), wish you all a good grow!

Hi guys, sorry for the late post, last week nothing special happened. They're still fighting the burn, so they didn't grow that fast. Yep you read that right, exciting news: I'm starting the flowering :) Wish me luck, hope they're strong enough to bloom in full beauty!

I hanged out the cut off branches in the tent after trimming it down a little (just the big leaves and a few i got on the first run). Waited 3 days until i reached approximately 71% humidity. Put it in big jars (small buds and big buds separated and trimmed again, but now for finalzation) with a hygrometer to check, but after around 12 hrs the humidity reached 72%. Had them open for another three hours with the fan blowing them a little, closed them up again hoping they won't rise again while i was asleep. Glad they didn't :) In the morning i opened them up for another hour and continued the 12 hrs closed - 1hour open cycle until i reached 64%. After that i started with a 24 - 1 cycle and when i finally reached 58% max (after 24hrs closed) i stopped opening them up completely. So in total the curing took about 3 weeks to a month. The taste and the smell of the durban Poison are on a whole new level.. It is so strong that i‘m pretty sure i could tell someone opening the jar from a mile away. It‘s almost lile a mango, still a bit earthy.. Can‘t really compare it to something i smelled before. All in all that one was my favourite!

Some friendly beginners advise... If your growing In soil DONT FEED 1) every time you water.. feed,water,water,feed 2)don't feed by the manufacture schedule... that's way too much!! And based of of 10 plants under a 1000w hps... For your grow I would take a feeding schedule and multiply it by .3 or maybe a little less YOU WILL NOT KILL YOUR SHIT IF YOU UNDERFEED YOU WILL KILL YOUR SHIT IF YOU OVER FEED.. hope this helps some

@Fun_Growin, thanks man for the advice, yup that was pretty clear after measuring the water coming out of the soil even after 6 liters per plant... I'm glad i checked! Wow didn't knew the scales were off that much.. Definitely won't do it again! :)

It’s late in flower for Top Booster isn’t it? Shouldn’t you be using Top Shooter now? I can’t tell with the missing weeks you probably are on 5th week of flower. Oops

A dark green leave isn't really a good sign, something is going wrong, it could be Nitrogen excess or a Mg deficiency. Is there any purple stems on your Cali. Hash plant ?

Your plants may have gone into flower better if you let them recover first it seems like a cal mag deficiency also are you already in flower flushing them and then starting with the bloom feed would help

Welcome to Growdiaries my friend! You have a sweet ass setup there for a first grow! Thumbs up!! Don't water the too much, as the roots haven't reached the bottom yet I guess. Following this diary! PS: what kind of LED do you have?
Meliodas420
Meliodas420commented8 years ago
@420snowbud, thanks man, really appreciate it! The LED is a Mars Hydro with 350 Watts of power. Baught it slightly used, it has two seperate switches for flower and bloom or both, so the watts split up.
