Bashgrowsitall1989 Good afternoon.ย
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 -ย
ย
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 proย
2 Circulating 7 inch fansย
14l - 16l Plastic Pots
ย
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.
ย
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.
ย
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)ย
ย
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.ย
ย
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.ย
ย
I've also got an idea too run past everyone about an idea I've had.ย
ย
Cheers Bash

Bashgrowsitall1989 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

Bashgrowsitall1989 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.

Bashgrowsitall1989 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!

Bashgrowsitall1989 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

Bashgrowsitall1989 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!

Bashgrowsitall1989 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

Bashgrowsitall1989 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!

Bashgrowsitall1989 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
Week 12 and I've harvested, dried and started too cure my buds. Everything looks great, the trichs are a nice colour along with the build up of Crystal's even on smaller buds. Still haven't had the chance too enjoy it properly as it needs curing properly, but it smells diesel and of blueberry - alot of blueberrys coming through on this one! Overall a great plant too grow specially for a novice grower / Auto Glueberry OG has a special name that comes with it as its voted top strain for autos 2019! Definitely recommend! I've also discovered that the light I'm running is a 120 too 300W bank, probably on the lower side and the PAR is off when the plant isnt centred under the light. So... New light ordered today a Meilju lighting company 480W LED 1008 samsung white led tech and 450 of red from Epistar. Other lights on the market like this are 700ยฃ to a 1000ยฃ were as this light ordered from China and recommended too me was ยฃ350 in total with 75ยฃ delivery. Totally worth it as it's going too be running around a 4000k spectrum.

Bashgrowsitall1989 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!
The buds were nice of what I got from them, Its was more of an earthy sour taste rather than the diesel lineage I thought it might lean too, but its has been the favourite out of the 3 that I have grown. The most crystallized plant too. All round great plant too grow, just wish I had the better light that I have now when I started!

Bashgrowsitall1989 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
So this plant has been very confusing, I think too begin with the light I had wasnt sufficient enough for 4 plants, along with the fact that the bud I produced off the other 3 was alot airer and was alot hairer compared too the ratio of bud, dont get me wrong I still got nugs, but this time round, my top cola weighs 42g wet.. thsts over a half oz bud for the top! I've read COP can go for an extra 4 weeks past its 11 week period, it was worth keeping this girl in thier on her own specially once I upgraded the light and now have a true 480w of led power in thier. Fat buds, alot more Granddaddy purple structure and look compared too the other COP I did which held alot of its Orange bud lineage - great plant too grow and under the right light and right conditions even novice growers could achieve 2 to 3 ozs of very nice bud. Definitely a winner from Dutch passion. I have another one of these running again as I want too see it's full potential under this new light! Flushed with cold water at the end too bring out more resin and that purple colour that the bud is showing!
Your week comment got me thinking that maybe my grow needs some heat added to it. My tent and my room under the stairs are both in my basement so temps run between 65-74ยฐ, do you think adding a space heater to the room outside so the passive air intakes would help my plant growth like yours?
@KCMOR8RH8R, Yes I would, hearing the air that's on the intake is the best way to do it, my green house heater is in the tent under the pots helping keep the roots warm too, No one likes cold feet ey! (quoted from a fellow grower) The more you get that climate too what they want the more they thrive. PH of water with soil really isnt as important as people might think, I've got 3 plants running all doing well and run off is 7.2 after feeding with nute, 6.6 with just water. Message me anytime you need some help bro! I've not got many grows under my belt, but I have alot of knowledge from all the research I've done. Enjoy you're plants my man!
@Bashgrowsitall1989, thanks I'll def ask when I'm not sure about something. Yeah i don't worry as much about ph as others. My tap water is really high alkaline, comes out at 8.3. I ph down it to 6.0 and the runoff is still reading at 7.5. My plants don't seem to mind either. Other than the nute burn i experienced from nuting them back in wks 2-3 they're doing great now in week 6. But little tweaks here and there like temp control and how im watering ect all helps the end process. Ive been growing vegetables for a decade now and perfected that. That's simple. But now that I'm diving into Cannabis it's opened a whole new complexity to gardening with all the variables. I'm loving learning it and perfecting it while being able to grow my own smoke!
The SD is just different genetics I think thatโs all. It maybe a little smaller buds overall but there are quite a few budsites
I think it will take a little longer and be well worth growing. Good SD is nice to smoke
Your plants look good, maybe a little nitrogen needed? They look like mine at 4 weeks. Iโm also growing 1 Dinafem Sour Desiel and it too is the smallest of the bunch. My friend who grew
@Blacksheep, Thanks dude, yeah the yellowing one is definitely nitrogen deficiency, have u found that the Dinafem SD, doesnt like that many notes? As I've given it the same notes as the other but hasnt responded no where near like what the others have. Cheers I appreciate the comment - I'm glad thier not stunted ...
@DoobieBrother01, I'm using Irish peat, Vermiculite and perlite and I'm using a Led light bank that is between 600w too a 1000w (got it from a friend so I dont know the exact wattage - he informed me that it was definitely a 600w but couldn't remember if it was the 1000w one he also bought. ) Using a 80w green.house heater too keep temps up - root temp and room temp, warming my feed too 25c ie the same temp as you're environment- helping too not stunt the plants by putting cold water on thier roots.
@blacksheep@Ferenc@dinafemseeds@doobiebrother01
Alrite guys, thought I'd let you know that the 2 plants that are really bushy, are doing really well, I lowered the crate thier sat on to one crate so they are farther from the lightp so they will start stretching abit more - Mark can you give me an idea of how far my LED bank should be away from the tops of the plants? It's only about 23c coming off the light so I boost it with the greenhouse heater - what I'm getting at is being close doesnt matter for burning them as the heat is too low, but will they still stretch even if I dont higher the light? The 2 bushy plants are at 35cms and 34cm wide ,the nitrogen deficiency OP is at 31cm and 29cm wide, so really not a great deal on it apart from the busyness of the others. The Sour diesel from Dinafem is definitely showing signs of over watering with curled down leaves, I top fed the OP with nitrogen deficiency tonight so the Sour diesel didnt have too take a feed / any water as I want it too dry out so the leaves stop curling down and also so I can then flush with PhD water too try get rid of the nute burn, I'll then give one more feeding of bio grow and then flush and switch to flowering notes ie BIo Bloom and Top Max. Can any of you guys pick anything wrong with what I'm planning? Thanks alot
