Medical Grow - Insomnia

[MatC]

Hello guys!
I´m starting a new grow on Friday. This grow will(I hope) solve my dads insomnia problem. We will be growing 4 plants, 4 different strains(all from Dutch Passion) : Blueberry, Mazar, Ortega Indica and CBD Skunk Haze. Our growroom is 1x1x2 m(BudBox), got one 400W HPS there, carbon filter, ventilator almost all is set up and ready. Every plant will, in finish, have 11 liter pot. They will be growing in BioBizz Light mix soil and I´ll be using Ionic Soil nutes. This will be my 2nd grow, 1st not-auto grow. I´ll post some pics when seedlings will come out. So hang on, greetings!

Alright, the day has come I got four growing pots, they are ~ 1,5 liter, with holes on the bottom. So I smashed some tiles and place them at the bottom of the pots. Then I got BioBizz Light Mix soil and fill them to the top. Planted seeds, about 1 cm deep, pressed the soil at the top a little bit and moisturize the soil. Temperature is about 25 C, soil temp. is 20 C. Waiting time...

Guys, I have a question for you. I´ve decided that for the first couple of days I won´t be using 400 W HPS, but two 10 W LED lamps, each one is 820 lm and 3500 K. My question is...is it enough? And if it is, how long can I use them? Thanks!

Fire Alien Kush...........knocks my ass right out.

Alright girls are under 400W HPS and are week old? Mazar seems to be a little bit behind...but I think he will get better The middle one is Frissian Dew - will go outdoor

Plants are now two weeks from seed and about ten days from sprouting. All four are okay, actually Mazar is still a little bit behind but nevermind. In the next two weeks I want to do three things...repoting(to 11 l pots), first fertilizing and fimming. And my question is... in what order is the best to make them. I don´t want to stress the plants, so I´ll be glad for any answer. Thanks

 

[MatC]

Update on progress: I´ve just repoted two of the plants(CBD SkunkHaze, Ortega Indica) to 11 liter final pots and fimmed blueberry. I´ll be repoting Mazar and Blueberry next weekend because of Mazars size and blueberrys fimmed leaves(don´t want to stress it more). I also fertilized for the first time with quarter the strength. Ortega shown some sings of underfert(I think).¨

Hi forum!
Girls are growing like crazy, except for Mazar No, just kidding, he is doing just fine. Posting some pics of my plants(the little one without name is Mazar), detail on Blueberrys FIM, and sodium black strips family photo. BB and Mazar are overwatered(I think) and tommorow is their repoting day. I was just thinking, this is my first experience with tent, sodium grow. What should I do for increasing the yield, I mean in the sense of cutting, lst and so on? Blueberry should be fimmed, for maximizing the yields, as I read. What about Mazar? Should I let them just be? Thanks for ANY info!

Update: Plants are currently month old, all in their final pots. No repoting shock, no fertilizer shock. I´m not at home right now so my dad is doing all the work and my sister is taking photos From them I assume that Ortega and CBD got a little heat shock... so my sis highered the lights about 20 cm up. Temps are 25.1 C and humidity is 48 Here are some pics:

btw: Blueberry is stretching like a b..ch, I´m gonna lst her when i get home. I suppose this is due to genetics?

Update again! Plants are month and something old, growing like bastards...today I LSTd BB, a little. Im gonna do that bit after bit, dont wanna snap that huge stem. Except for BB, they are REALLY bushy, so I thoght aboust lsting the rest. Do you have any experiences with lst and Ortega, CBD SkunkHaze or Mazar? Thanks!

I will also fertilize with half strength and measure pH on Saturday. And I bought a bottle of BioBloom from biobizz, so I´will use that when i switch to 12/12.

 

[MatC]

BB is nicely LSTed, and I fimmed her again becauese I don´t think that i did it correctly the first time. They were fertilized yesterday with half the strength nutrients. Next update will be on Thursday Some pics:

So, today the plants are 6 weeks old. I got home yesterday(i´m on college right now so I´m only two days/week at home, dad is taking care of plants) and plants were totally dried out, lower leaves all yellow and sh.t so I watered them and they got better. Snapped off all the yellow and dried out leaves, left the partly yellow and girls are growing again. pH differs from plant to plant but stays in range 6,1 - 6,4. Blueberrys second FIM is looking good. I think that she is more sativa then she should be, hybrid of some sort? BUT I have got one problem...the two others are bushy, bushy, bushy...! What to do with it? They have leaves everywhere!!!

That Blueberry is crazy... haha

 

[MatC]

Good info in that other topic! I think I´m gonna go 12/12 with Blueberry and CBD SkunkHaze and take out Mazar with Ortega to veg for another week or two... isn´t it a big shock for them? 18/6 to 14,5/9,5?? I will also FIM them And yes, that BB is crazy as hell, stretchy pheno Hope it doesn´t hermi...

Flowering time has come! I switched the girls to 12/12 yesterday. Mazar is staying in veget. room with 50 W of CFL when the flowering room is off. So he is still in veget. stage and getting 18 hours of light. Heights are: Ortega Indica(no training): 51 cm, CBD SkunkHaze(FIM 5 days ago): 48 cm, Blueberry(LST, FIM): 49 cm, Mazar(FIM 5 days ago): 35 cm. Max. height they can grow is 120 cm. Yesterday I gave them 0,35 of the recommended dose of growth fertilizer.

EDIT: I also added 1 earthworm/pot. Let´s see what happens
They should live, right?

HI guys, today we are beginning third week of flowering. Girls have grown quite a bit, they are about 80 cm high. BB got burned! In my lack of presence, two tops got scorched. I hope it will be ok... And today I dropped on her filter with fan So she is roughed up alright, three stems broke - I taped them, hope this helps. And another problem, BB has two kinds of stems going from the main one, high ones and medium ones. High ones are too high and they are getting burned, while the medium ones dont get enough light. What to do with it??? LST? How?

Thanks man! I did think about supercropping, but I wasn´t sure about the flowering... I researched and supercropped. I supercropped about 50 cm down the stem. Right now it is looking like this:

Stems are bent at almost 90 degrees and held by surroundings. BTW. SC smelled beautiful
