Livelong's First Indoor

[livelong420]

I trimmed off that first leaf that curled to almost 360. All of the other leaves look great. The node developing just above the original (the 2nd?) is really healthy and larger than the 1st node.

kool ive always wanted to grow kb hey please keep me updated if u can?

[livelong420]

Here's a pic update for you guys. Still trying to get supplies, I promise!

And a 2nd.

And from below.

Lookin good!

leaves look much better. she might be adjusting to the soil ph or the water ph. if you dont have a meter try to keep the ratio same and trust be irie. I think the same thing. most tap water this time of year is high. I am not a soil guy but I would try a pool store or something to get that water tested for ph. I think in soil you want to be between 6 and 8 with 7 being ideal. nice pot she wont get root bound four a while!

I think soil is more between 6-7.. I never go above 6.8.. My tap is all over the place. It has dropped almost a point in the last week. It was always around 8 or 8.5 and now it is at 7.5.. Kinda weird maybe because its winter?? You need to get to the store, at the least grab some fish emulsion. If you can afford it get some liquified kelp ( will help with stress and not so feeling good ). That should carry you through the veg. Save your pennies or hope you have been good this year and that Santa may bring you some supplies or cash for supplies.. Organics won't drop the PH to much, if you get some distilled water and add some fish emulsion and sea weed, it should put you right in the range. Hang in there and get some good food for the babies!

I've got the plant under (3) 26w CFLs(2 daylight, 1 warm white) and 1 13w or 17w "grow light." Lights are at 18/6, temp, humidity unknown. I'm at a high altitude (dunno how much that matters).

Ared they on an 18/6 cycle?
Looks better as it grows along. Also, only one going? maybe I'd suggest gettting a few more going to have a back up or 2. Is that possible? We want females and sometimes one may not be enough, unless it is from a good clone stock.

[four20friend]

How much are soil ph meters?. maybe be irie or one of the soil guys can point you in the right direction. I have read adding peat will reduce the ph. I can't tell you how much and lower water hardness.

[livelong420]

Thank you Titus, Ms. Fox, four20, be irie & cherma for all of your comments and suggestions! I do want to get a ph meter, but some shops prices around here are a bit steep. Can anybody throw out a good store price for a meter?

More grow supplies coming! Be Irie, I should still put fish emulsion on top of the Grow Big full dose I have going? Just clearing that up so I don't get wicked nute burn.

Yep I'm on a 18/6 cycle. Yep only one going. If I could find more, I'd get at least 3 at once. It's a seed from some of the best green I've ever had, so I'm hoping its a girl for sure!
Grow wish list:
Fish emulsion
Ph meter
Hydroton clay balls
Liquefied kelp

I am not a big chem fan. I think I used GB once on my G and twice on the others. I think I would either swap waterings one wit GB the the next with the FE or go 1/2 and 1/2 and see how it likes it.... Do you feed it everytime?

[livelong420]

Yeah, I've been putting it in every time. The leaves look fine though. I'll try out your suggestion once I get some fish emulsion!

[livelong420]

I got a meter! Going to test asap. Didn't find any fish emulsion though.

Looking good livelong!! I have family in CO. A friend of mine that lives there once told me that because of the high altitude, MJ plants have to produce more crystals to protect itself. I dunno if that's true but you guys have some goooooood shit out there!!

I've had leaf curling with a bag seed I grew awhile bac and it happened because of transplant shoc but you say yours started happening before transplant? Either way looks like you got it under control.

Good luck!! Here's to hoping for a girl!!!

[livelong420]

Well, if you've toked here, the higher the altitude gets, the less air is available to breathe. Less oxygen in your blood, more THC = a strong, quick, high. Same with alcohol. Some great stuff up here. Some $50 8ths that might as well have been swag.

It wasn't really a curling, music, it was more of a twisting. Obie was root bound inside the Dixie cup. That might've been the problem (or a part of it).

Anyway, I took the Ph, and it was 8. The veg on the top is looking magnificent. On the bottom where the light doesn't get, the leaves are tiny and sad looking. Pics coming soon!

[music4higher]

Huh, that altitude thing makes sense! Maybe I need to take a road trip to Big Bear everytime I wanna smoke!! I wonder if the amount saved on weed will compensate for the gas it would take for the trip!!
