Soltan's 1st grow

[Soltan]

looks like you have a good start there! all ready and prepared! looking forward to your grow! they look good!

Thanks!

thats a super nice setup u got my gears grinding in my head with that utility cabinet we did start our grows about the same time

Thanks, I'm thinking about redoing my light but so far I really like how the cabinet is working out.

I'm also getting my plans ready for my flowering cabinet and the veg cabinet has really given me a lot of ideas. As soon as my lights get here I can get to work on it and hope to have it ready in the next couple of weeks.

Happy 4/20

I went out of town for the weekend. I figured they would be fine for an extra day as I was scheduled to water on Sat. I was wrong. They were all withered pretty bad (I didn't snap any pics I was in panic mode heh). I watered Sun afternoon and they have bounced back a lot. There are several yellow spots now that look like might be nute burn?

16 days old now.

Yellow spots on the bottom.

Canopy shot. Still slightly withered but looking better!

They look like they are getting hungry.... Also looks like you are getting close to out growing those cups.

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

I agree i bet as soon as you transplant they are gonna be looking healthy and green and they will be able to grow alot more

 

[Soltan]

Thanks Be IRIE & l8tnightskunk. I plan to transplant as soon as I get my new pots. They should be here tomorrow or Thursday. I figured that may be the case as fast as they reacted to not being watered for one day.

I agree, you should transplant asap, your girls will love the new room to spread their legs!

 

[caesar537]

Yep, it's about time to transplant, looking great! I hope they all turn out fantastic!!!

 

[Soltan]

I finally got my order in Friday night. I transplanted them into 1gal pots and watered with plain water on Saturday. They were root bound without question and were looking pretty bad. I only had room for 4 pots in the cabinet so #6 didn't make the cut. A friend offered to plant on the back of his property so hopefully it'll make it.

I also added a second 100w MH light so that should help.

I started them back on week one nute schedule so hopefully they'll perk up. These can be the poster children for waiting too long to transplant

They are looking better but the lower leaves are yellow and are withering. Should I go ahead and prune them or give them a few more days and see if they come back? Opinions?

Here is number 6 in her new home. My buddy said she grew over an inch in two days. I guess she likes it outside

Thanks,

They look good man some of my lower leaves are also dying i just pull them off i dont think i would be worried about them, but the bottom one looks a lil ph defficent

 

[Soltan]

Here are some pics. They are looking a lot better since transplanting and nutes.

I thought this one (being the tallest) was getting burned by the lights. I moved the lights up and it was actually worse today. Still looking good other than the burned leaves.

That is not light burn, looks like some nute burn...You might want to give that one a good flush, then ease back into the nutes with it.. They are looking good... Not only strains, but some plants can be pickier then others..

 

[meow2u]

Looking good if I may- what's the ph? Are they burning from too much nutes? Also is your cabinet air-tight? If you want to experiment with one, make yourself a simple hydro system in your cabinet

 

[WeedRyder]

Looking good there m8 ! nice setup nice start +rep good luck ! i'll be keep on checking your grow

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

Soltan the plants are looking alot healthier i can tell the are going back to full green! and also about the Yellowing one what are your temps?

Thanks Be IRIE. I didn't consider nute burn because the others are doing great and all are the same seeds. I didn't know some plants could be pickier than others. I watered them today with just water so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks meow2u. I adjust the pH to 6.5 to 7.0 before feeding or watering. The runoff is usually 5.5 to 6.0 on average. The cab is not air tight. I have a intake on the bottom left and an exhaust on the top right. You can see a pic of the outside on page 1. I've thought about going hydro but I'm just keeping it simple for now.

Thanks WeedRyder!

Hey L8! Thanks they are bouncing back nicely. The temp is around 80 on the light cycle and 72ish at night.

Sorry for the lack of updates but nothing much has changed other than the babies getting bigger. Two are starting to show sex. One is female. The other looks like it is going to be a male

Here is the female. Hard to see in the pic, my camera sucks taking closeups.

Here is the pic of the suspected male.

I'm putting the first one under the 400w HPS tomorrow and switching to 12/12. For the others I'll wait until this weekend or until they show to be female whichever comes first.

[Fattis-Rattis]

Looking pretty, congrats on at least one female, but the 2nd one certainly looks like a boy =(

 

[meow2u]

Looking good, keep us updated
