1-14-2018: Made the switch to 12/12, now just wait to identify the males and pull em. Did a nutrient feed the previous watering, but did a low dose nutrient solution watering due to it being the stretch before flowering. Growing an inch or two a day last few days, not sure how long that level of growth will last. 1-15-2018, 1-16-2018: Really filling up this tent now! Hoping in the next few days a couple will show male and let me open up the tent a bit, otherwise things will just be tight. Might see some pre-flowers showing on a couple plants female. Had my ballast go out at lights on, which is 8pm. Luckily for me there was a grow shop that was open till 9 and close enough, got there with 8 minutes to spare! Super plus is they sell tested used ballasts with a 30-day warranty. 1-17-2018: Making an early prediction, I've seen pistils showing on 5/6 plants, but since this is bagseed, probably indoor, there is a good chance that the seeds were products of hermaphroditic self-pollination and those plants can have hermaphroditic tendencies. Also heard from Vivosun (manufacturer of my ballast) and am being sent a new one, meh, we'll see. 1-19-2018: Looks like I'll be flowering out 6/6 ladies. Showing pistils on all plants. I think i made these girls angry since they are pulling an "incredible hulk" on me, growing out faster than they are growing up. Fed 4 gallons to 6-5g cloth pot ( don't' think they are truly 5 gallon). Humidity is out of control with how much these girls are transpiring, i have an oscillating 12" fan and 2 stationary 6" fans helps keep the humidity pockets down, uniform humidity at 60-65%. Will be upgrading air recirculating fan on monday.

Grow Questions

TheMachiniststarted grow question 7 years ago
Wish my issue had a category lol. All my buds have been seeded to some extent and therefore will effect how the buds ripen. I want to know how much seeding alters my harvest timeline, and can I still look at trich's for bud ripeness as the pistils are orange with clear trich's.

Your buds will take a little longer and I think it gives a distinct change in taste, but maybe that is just me. Obviously the THC content will be lower. It kinda depends how much it got pollinated too, like was it pollinated by a rogue male growing a mile away or a male a foot away. Good luck anyway. I'll follow see how you get on. Peace

man thats a very nice collection of dense buds you have there once you start some feminized seeds, some clones, or use a bag to sex you will be good to go; your setup is working very well

@Jaindoh, I'd love to eventually do some homebrew seeding, for now these seeds will have super unstable parents, might keep em to do some free range outdoor growing. Next grow will be Nirvana genetics that I might keep any male pollen. Appreciate the compliment on the setup, it's a work in progress ๐Ÿ‘

Sounds interesting here. Blasting young plants with a 1000w light is not really the best thing to do. You shall wait a bit more. You might need to ScrOG your plants to fill up all the light coverage with 6 plants , technically youโ€™re gonna grow 166,66W plants (Iโ€™m growing 100W plants if it can help to get an idea). Personally, I think that 1000W light is way too much for this size of tent. Itโ€™s gonna be tough to fit 6 monsters inside your tent bro , to get 1gr./W. You shall Veg at 400W and Bloom at 600W. 6 100W plants will be more reasonable for this size of tent . And you be able to reech those 1gr./W more easier.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Luckily for me I don't have to grow in my house or garage. it's a pretty well insulated little building. It really surprised me how much more heat 1000w puts out vs 600W. Might just be an indicator of how inefficient my grow light ballast/lamp setup is haha. I have a wall mounted radiant heater that heats the room no problem, but being my first grow I wanted to see what dealing with 1000W in a 4x4 would look like. I think as it gets warmer out i'll have to dim down to 750W or 600W to deal with the heat. Intake temp of my fixture is 15F exhaust vent is pushing out 72F air.

@TheMachinist, same here , my lights donโ€™t heat the room by themselves, itโ€™s winter, I must use a heater.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, It's getting into the single digit F where I live and that means either I turn the light up or use more heaters haha. I appreciate the advice ๐Ÿ‘

@PigBearMan, I'll start my hand exercises now! Im really focusing on just letting these things go, so far they've had no complaints, just watering with weak nutrients every 2/3 waterings.

Looking pretty darn good Edwardo :D Keep up all the great work. I'm excited to see these girls once they turn over to flower :D

@TheMachinist, Gotta love bag seed. It's the most interesting of grows to do a bag seed grow :D

@DabCrab, Thanks! I hope they are all girls, just some regular seeds out of a good dispensary oz, can't remember the strain though.

They are filling up nicely, they sure have put on some weight ;)

@bobo420, thank you! judging by the stem swing (I grab the stem lower down and gently swing the top back and forth and have been doing it since start of flower) the tops are getting decently heavy.

We are almost using the same set up. The nutrients and the light wattage. I think things are looking great!!! My lights keep the temp in the tent perfect for them. Cant wait to see your end result!

@TheMachinist, Yes! I absolutely love my High Pressure Sodium light. I started the grow with a LED light from amazon and was not impressed at all. So i got a new 1000 watt HPS bulb for my girls and they exploded in growth. I honestly dont think you can give them too much light.. You can deff burn them and get them too close to the light. However you have to listen to your plants and see what they say. I might considering getting a metal halide bulb for the veg period but the high pressure sodium has impressed me on so many levels. I actually hang my HPS pretty low for the majority of the grow just in my last few weeks of flowering i lifted her to the highest position. I also run a T5 along side her for the smaller girls i start. I do a staggered grow so i have girls at all stages at all times.

@wheedtobeus420, Thank you very much! Do you plan on vegging next time with the HID? If you can afford the power, I recommend using HID lights for veg, I have nothing to compare to personally, but just by looking at journals on GD here I would say the HID in veg was a big help. It seems silly to have such small plants and such high amounts of lights, but I would rather give too much than too little, by keeping the light high up in the tent I let the plants grow to the light and I think it worked out well.

@Ripper, Thanks! These pictures were take under the HPS, but taken in RAW with a canon T5i, then edit in photoshotp. I try to get as close to real life as possible, they are actually darker green than shown, but its as close as possible.
