Day 24 .. well, almost .. this is 05:30h for the plants, lights come on @ 06:00h

Little overview with lights still off; as you can see they are starting to look like little bushes .. I love it <3

Next, the ladies' FIM job in close-up. I briefly switched the lights on for this. Next update in ~6h.

Thanks for your effort to post and keep everyone up-to-date with you "project" PEACE!!!!

 

[PlanetJ]

I aim to make daily pictures. I stopped a while when there was no progress whatsoever to report ... since nobody likes to see the same pictures over and over again ... and I certainly did not like making them

Day 25

Except for the last one, FIMmin went fine ... the last one I'm not sure about yet...

As always, thanks for watching

The nutrient I used in my previous grow, was a hand full of general garden fertilizer pellets in my water can, stir, and nearly insta-kill your plants ... flushing did not work. I would NOT advise my feeding schedule from my previous grow

This grow, I will not feed them anything till I flip the switch to bloom, unless nute deficiencies start showing in the leafs / growth. So up till now, all they got is in the soil already, which is organic and the ratio is mentioned somewhere ... I did not pay attention to it tho .. I needed soil, my plants where dying in coco.

My first journal, and this one too, mainly serve as a display that you can grow cannabis without too much effort and expensive equipment, and to get my confidence up. There will be experiments, failures and lessons learned here, and perhaps some value in the photo's. Please do not use this as a guide on how to grow .. there are better ones out there .. this is just my attempt to put my lessons learned from these other guides into practice, with as little financial investment as possible. (and a lot of time reading and learning and confirming)

Day 26

Watered the girls ... about 2.5l total, so about 500ml per plant.

 

[PlanetJ]

I will cut off the fanleaves that are refusing to stop growing, but at least the tips do not grow anymore, and I think I can call my FIMming operation a success.

Ahh good to know. I think a hand full of nut will probably kill any
Any plant. Well good to see those babes. Will be lurking around to see how it goes.

There is nothing wrong with feeding nutes in Veg, I think most growers recommend it. You just have to follow a feeding schedule that suits the plants current age/stage of growth.

The plants weren't doing well in coco, since coco has no nutes at well. If you gave them some nutes in coco, they could have done ok.

In a sense I am feeding them in veg .. as the soil has nutes in it at a level that should be more then enough for the first few months (bag talks about 3 months). For this reason, and given my previous result, I will not feed them unless it appears necessary.

The plants weren't doing well in coco, since coco has no nutes at well. If you gave them some nutes in coco, they could have done ok.

(If you check the first page, you'll find that) <---- wrong .. I forgot to list it. My coco also had nutes in it, and also enough for 3 months. The issue was more likely due to Ph being off, and thus the plants unable to access those nutes. I water with regular tap water, without adjusting Ph. This is dumb in coco, but I realised that a little late

 

[PlanetJ]

Oh, and sorry for no pics yesterday .. I'll try to take 'midnight' pics .. but no promises

 

[Antics]

That's why I don't use those soils with nutes in the. You can never be sure just how much is in there, and I guarantee most aren't custom tailored to provide Cannabis with what it needs in growth.

Day 28

Overview: rest in usual order; lf, rf, c, lb, rb.

 

[PlanetJ]

I will be repotting them soon to their final home, and give them a week to get used to it, and probably flip to bloom then, after taking cuttings and giving cloning a go .. do not ask where I will house them if they succesfully root ... I have no clue yet.

 

[PlanetJ]

...sorry for the lack of updates .. I'm being kept bussy by our newest family member

 

[PlanetJ]

Day 33 .. well ... more night 33 .. day comming up in about 6 hours. Pictures taken during the 1 hour lights on of the GLR (12 on, 5.5 off, 1 on, 5.5 off)

Overview:

LF

RF

C

LB

RB

I'll try to get back to daily's. I'm gonna repot to their final home this week and have started to feed them with a NPK 7-5-7 +micronutrients mixture. Offcourse not intended for cannabis nor consumption, but all I had laying around, and some deficiencies started showing. They went away just fine (feeding was done 3 days ago).

Once they are in their final home I will start feeding them nutrients intended for cannabis and consumption, and I hope that I wont notice the pokon in the end product (else I'll process it to either hasj or oil if the taste is horrible, but given the at least 2 months they will still need, I should be fine I guess ...


Thanks all for your patience!
