First grow back

Good afternoon.  So, after a very long hiatus of buying mids or having too pay through the roof for something half decent, I decided too get the tent out again and do it myself. Its not worth my hassle anymore searching for good smoke when I can just grow my own. Enough rambling. Here's my specs -    Tent size - 1.2m long, 60cm wide, 1.8m tall Light - Galaxy Hydro 800w full spectrum Extractor is a Rhino Pro - Currently running at 160sqm of air an hour, with a function for 280. Carbon Filter - Rhino pro  2 Circulating 7 inch fans  14l - 16l Plastic Pots   I'm running 3 Dutch passion, 1 Dinafem, 2 Critical orange Punch, Glueberry OG, Sour diesel. Were in plastic pots (been advised material pots are better - I will upgrade next grow. ) using a soil mix of Irish peat, vermiculite and i added perlite, too help with drainage.   I've been giving the plants a light cycle of 18 / 6, temperature lights on is between 27 and 28c , lights off drops too 22c as that's my room temperature when I dont have a window open.   Currently giving them about 500ml of water every 3 4 days , depending on weight of pot or how the soil feels. Thier currently 2 weeks old tomorrow and have had one feed of Bio bizz root juice, they will be given one more small feeding of it alongside Biobizz Biogrow too help in begging. That will be the last feed out root juice, the feed after will be just biogrow up until week 5, when I will give a massive flush, then too change the feed too bio bizz bloom and possibly Topmax depending on reviews as I haven't looked into it. (Any reviews welcome)    I've had some tinkering problems, my thermostat gives me a temperature inside and out, I had been getting muddled between the two, thinking the tent was at 22c when that was actually the outside room temperature - the real temp of the tent being 27 too 28c. I think its first time growers worries but I'm getting past it and I feel this small room will be great for the temperatures I've recorded over the last 2 weeks.    So now all it really leaves is me unveiling them. The first 4 photos are 3 or 4 days since sprouting, the next set of photos is today, 13 days in. Comments and help welcome, if you think I've missed anything or I could so something different next time, then let me know.    I've also got an idea too run past everyone about an idea I've had.    Cheers Bash

So, this week has been alot of roots being out down, alot of growth on top too, I listed in week 1 they were 10cm, but that was the size at the time, They were very tiny in week 1 as u can see from the photos and they are now putting on alot of layers and getting third nodes. I think I need to PH my water down some as one of the Dutch passion Critical orange punch seems too be stalling slightly, but we will see this week when I give them a flush or PHd water too 6.3 6.4. Other than that everything is fine, growth and heat seem too be fine, temps are fine on and off. Any suggestions welcome

So technically this is week 2 still , but I've had some major growth and some disappointing results. 2 of my plants from the photos are doing great, One Auto blueberry OG from Dutch passion and 1 of the Auto Critical Orange Punch, one of Criticals oranges are showing signs of stunting, but its leaves are completely different too the leaves on the other Crit Orange. Anyone from @dutchpassion have any idea if thier is a pheno that is smaller bushier krinkle type leaf? Growth on all the others is great all showing new layers and great colour. Enjoying every bit of this. Water intake up too 2ls per plant per 3 days.

Hello everyone, reporting to you as of day 24 / 25 as of my count and seeing as 2 of the girls are doing so well, were on a somewhat scattered watering cycle as the 2 larger ones are demanding way more Litres than the others. Massive growth on the @Dutchpasion Auto Critical Orange punch and Auto Glueberry OG, 2 of the larger plants. The 2 smaller plants have put on growth since the last photos that I posted, I am noticing changes so we haven't completely stunted them, but possibly some mistakes / things I didnt do (like Cal Mag) that might have helped.The Sour diesel from @Dinafem is the smallest of the bunch but dont you worry little Runt, Sour diesel is one of my favourite strains so if you only grow a little I'll still be happy too smoke you. Also possible chance that my roots were somewhat cold so adding a greenhouse heater this weak has really improved my temps holding steady and I've noticed much more growth since this. Any advice is welcomed. Raising water temp when feeding seems too have done alot too, not shocking the roots everytime I water them. Much more efficient now. Really enjoying this again, 50 odd days and counting, less than 2 months now!

Well well well... Day 35 in the big brother house and jesus they have surprised me. I've been giving the bigger plants 4ls of water every 2 days and thr smaller ones still 2ls. The bigger ones are having feeds of 3.5ml bio bizz to 2ls of water and also 1ml of cal.mag too those 2ls. The smaller two are getting half this as they showed signs of stress and of nutrient burn. The larger plants canopy have stretched now top 40cm, having one week left of thier pre flower stretch, I'm not feeding them bloom nutes till I've noticed no more upwards growth. Bloom nutes should start next week and these ladies are already looking frosty round the leaves. Super duper hash for me I guess. Super having with these, the Sour diesel seems too be doing better and it stretching out let's just hope she gives me a heavy yield even so! One of the smaller plants is a slight lighter green than the others, I thought this was nitrogen deficiency in my previous posts but it turns out this was caused by light stress from having my light too close. We all live and learn, I forgot too higher the light from the start, cos I didn't realise LEDs cause light stress! After a very productive week with these ladies I'm super excited for the next stage... FLOWERING! Thanks for reading Bash

Day 46 ... The girls are out growing thier home slowly but surely, we have signs of flowering, I'd definitely day thier in flowering now, had abit more stretch in them too I will list the sizes below. One plant seems pretty unhappy, maybe next time I run I will only do 3 and see what happens but who knows, this is my first grow in 6 years so I'm sure it will improve as we go on. I'm glad I decided I didnt have the cash to start 4 more a week ago otherwise I'd be regretting it now. Enjoy the trichomes starting too form, o took as many close ups with out a macro as I could! Glueberry OG - 62cm Sour Diesel - 46cm Crit 1# 52cm Crit 2# 47cm Possibly the last time I'll be able to get noce shots out of tent as they are getting large and I really dont want too disturb them! Happy growing!

So its Day 55 from my count, technically these ladies have about 22 days left, but from thier progress so far I'll probably push them too 90 days too get the most from them, but we will see over the next 3 weeks of how much growth is actually has, using bio bloom and top max too boost bud production but the ladys are getting seriously hairy. Glueberry OG is now 75cm and has stopped stretching Critical orange Punch 1# is at 65cm Crit Orange Punch 2# is at 52cm Sour Diesel is at 65cm as well. Very happy all 3 plants are very near thier maximum growth, my plants have started too out grow thier tent, their about 12inches from the light now - but bud production is through the roof - temps down slightly and a few feeds of just water as I saw some lower leaves with discoluring from possible nutrient burn but nothing serious. Really looking forward too Harvesting these! The Glueberry smells so much of berry's and Gas! Happy Growing - stay high Bash

Day 62 as of my count so tomorrow is 9 weeks, Plants are really into thier flowering now, last night i did the last defoliation as the tent was getting so crowded / light wasnt getting through the canopy, the photos are taken from today 18 hours after defoliation so they all seem happy! Crit Orange Punch 1# is at 70cm Sour Diesel is at 70cm Glueberry OG PUSHING IT 80CM!!!!! Very happy with this along with the Sour diesel from @Dinafemseeds Very nice bud sites, lots of Colas round the sides and the smell coming over them when they come out of the tent is lovely. They packets say 75 77 and 80 odd days, but these are definitely going too go longer! The crop should be ready for Christmas which will be a great present for me! Happy growing and thanks for following along! Bash - Grows - It - All

So its day 71, 3 of the ladies look lovely, one Critical Orange Punch lacking behind badly, probably by 3 or 4 weeks which is pretty annoying. But this has been an experiment in it's own as I didnt know the wattage of my light, I guessed from looming at other models. The max this light can be is about 400w, as 2 plants have done great, one has done semi ok and one has just stalled out, so my theory is just another light more powerful and recommended by a few people on here, giving me 600w more in the tent. Anyway, rambling over, The critical orange Punchs Trichomes are really starting too change along with the Glueberry OG, they have been receiving just water for the last week, flushing for another 10 days and 3 of those flushes will be massive flushes in the shower done with Ice too try and trick those girls into thinking dieing so they produce even harder for me! Sour diesel.... well what can I say Dinafem.. that is the most crystal ridden plant I have seen, she might only give me an oz of actual bud maybe even less but boy it's going too be worth it with the Crystal's on thier, also they leaves are coated so I will be making some bubble hash in the bags and will be using some of the smaller trim so make sugar syrup! What an epic Christmas this is going to be ! Happy Growing Bash - Grows - It - All

Last but least, we will leave this section blank for now as I will to update this in a few weeks when the flavours straight too come through even more after a real good curing!

Overall a really great plant too grow and the smoke was lovely. When I reorder from Dinafem I definitely will run another Sour diesel auto as I want too see it's TRUE potential
