1st Grow, 2 Noobs, Mystery Beans In Soil & Vermiculite, LEDs & CFLs

[Jorgie Nuggz]

Well, I just ordered the the 300 watt LED light didn't have enough for the bigger 450 watt light. It's good enough for my grow area, although I wanted the bigger one for better light penetration.

Great recovery from those 2 days!!! Good luck with the rest of the grow now you've got it dialled in !

 

[Jorgie Nuggz]

Thank you for dropping in FunkySkunk. If you see something I don't see, please feel free to point it out. "All eyes on" is always better than just "two eyes on". I'm still not sure whats going on, growth has come back but i'm still having leaf discoloration. I'll be posting a picture update in a little while, if I can pry the phone from wifey's fingers for five minutes. LOL

350 LED will be way better than what you have. Good job.if you train proper light penetration won't be a big issue.

OK, HERE'S A QUICK PHOTO UPDATE
I don't know what's up, maybe it's nothing. Though the growth has begun. I'm still having leaf discoloration even in the new growth. Here are the pics!

Buy a bottle of kelp nutes. Mix a little with pH water and water with it and nothing else. That ffof soil shouldn't need nutes until 4 weeks of use but you may need to supplement food.

Also your leaves are tacoing up. Make sure RH and light is proper. Too much heat can cause that. You want the fan leaves perking flat like solar panels. If they are over watered it will do that. If they are needing water it will do that.

It's "N-P-K" .04-.06-.04

 

[Kabbal]

Just as I thought. Your plants need food nutrients to be exact. Grab some fertilizer for it that has high N. For vegging. Then for flowering you'll need less N and more PK.

this stuff has very little nute content. I have several bottles of different nutes . I have plans in the next few days when sex shows and I replant them to hit them 50% solution plus Cal/Mag again.

 

[Jorgie Nuggz]

Well, I'm Happy That I'm thinking in the right direction

 

[Kabbal]

The floramicro is great but you might want the other 2 bottles with it.

Hey Kab, which other two bottles? The Earth Juice Grow 2-1-1 and the Alaska Fish Fert 5-1-1?

 

[Jorgie Nuggz]

never mind I looked them up and now know which other two bottles you were talking bout.

 

[Jorgie Nuggz]

Hey everybody, I have been looking for signs of sexual orientation on these plants and can't find none as of yet, so I'm going to replant, feed and worry about sex later. Hell no matter what the boys are going in the garbage soon as I see pollen sacs. So, I'm going to update pics with measuring tape. Replant then update with pics of replant and topping.

 

[Jorgie Nuggz]

OK SO HERE'S THE GROWTH UPDATE
THIS WAS THE PICS PLANT #1 ON 2/26

THIS IS TODAY PLANT #1

PLANT #2 ON 2/26

PLANT #2 TODAY

PLANT #3 ON 2/26

PLANT #3 TODAY

PLANT #4 ON 2/26

PLANT #4 TODAY

Each plant has had growth of 3/4 of an inch to an inch and a quarter and that's fantastic in my book since I have almost made them go backwards instead of forwards.

 

[Jorgie Nuggz]

OK, I replanted them into 2.5 gal buckets, I topped them, and I fed them with (1 tsp of Alaska Fish Fertilizer "N-P-K" 5-1-1), (1 tsp FloraMicro "N-P-K" 5-0-1
Cal-5 Boron-.01 Cobalt-.0005 Copper-.01 Iron-.1 Manganese-.05 Molybdenum-.0008 zinc-.015), (1 tsp Cal/Mag "N-P-K" 1-0-0 Cal-5
Mag-1.5 Iron-0.1) to three gals of water. Gave them 56 oz of 6.4 PH solution each and set them back in the closet with the lights raised. I hope that atleast 2 if not 3 are males. I can't maintain more than 2 plants at a time.
For any NEWBIES who come bye and see this post. "DON'T EVER START YOUR SEEDS IN 6 INCH CLAY POTS". first they hold too much water, second they hold too much of the temperature hot or cold, third the plants have to grow into them before they start growing up, and forth the roots attach themselves to the clay and are a bitch to get off when transplanting time comes along.
Right now I have no room in the closet, somethings gotta give. If the all turn out to be females I'm going to have to make a decision which ones die.
