1st Grow Journal - 600W HPS - Pure Power Plant

FIMed this one a couple of days ago and it seems to have responded well to it

Hey guys, quick update I decided to buy the AN line, but don't worry I'm not planning to use them for this run. I will attempt to replicate A-Trains Auto Ultimate grow. Only differences being HPS all the way and I'll be using airpots instead of smartpots. Hopefully growing 4 will make up for the difference. I will still try to use his LST, "ponytail", and I'll read, reread and rereread lol. I started doing this for quality and yield, hopefully using his methods I can come close to his final weight. I will also be doing it every run for different autos if I can get a good handle on things. I'm not a horrible grower but I'm definitely not on his level yet. As for my plants, all is well, but I'm pretty sure you guys are tired of veg pics and are waiting for the real show coming soon guys I promise!

Uh oh it seems as if one of my girls has a problem and I can't seem to identify it yet

 

[kotsotronic]

[joseman817]

Time to up my CalMag I guess lol

looking good dude. Ill be tagging along, as you are only 2 weeks ahead of me and we are both on our first grow. I'm using at 600 MH for veg. How far do you have your light away from the soil? What kind of temps and RH are you at? Just trying to get an idea if my girls look appropriate for their age.

 

[growstrong]

About to start my own first grow, so I'm along for the ride.

 

[joseman817]

Thank you guys I will be switching to flower this weekend as I have time since I have to set up the tent/fan/filter all the good stuff haha.

 

[joseman817]

My Rh is around 40% and my Temps rang between 76-81. My lights stay about a foot from the top of the plants not soil.

Hey growstrong whenever you decide to make your journal send me the link so I can creep on it haha

 

[growstrong]

Sure thing. I will hopefully start piecing together equipment here next week sometime. Then the fun will begin.

So this is day 2 of flower! Woohoo! Let's get this party started lol. The girls look amazing and I can not wait to see what will happen

 

[joseman817]

I will be trimming it next weekish nismo.

 

[Nismo12]

are you going to trim off any of the under growth to focus bud growth on the tops or have bud sites down low also?

 

[joseman817]

Still getting used to the photo system. I'm dumb for deleting the other post. So once again Week 2 Day 2 of flower and the girls are looking awesome! They are all female and not 1 hermie bastard in the bunch haha. Nirvana has a repeat customer for sure! The 5 gallon pot CLEARLY is a lot larger than the rest so I will be doing all 5 gallon pots next run.

 

[joseman817]

are you going to trim off any of the under growth to focus bud growth on the tops or have bud sites down low also?

Yes sir next week I will trim a bit more of the bottoms. I already took off the bottom 3 nodes from each before I switched them to flower.

 

[joseman817]

Maybe 2 nodes on my largest just to not mess with her too much lol

 

[joseman817]

Week 3 day 2 of flower phew halfway till flush time. So far everything is going excellent! The bud sites have started popping up with white hairs everywhere!

 

[joseman817]

The girls on sunday. I've just been a bit busy, not much change anyways.

 

[joseman817]

Quick question guys. If my girls have a flowering time of 8 to 10 weeks, should I check the trichomes at week 6 to possibly begin flushing or do I have to wait till week 8 then flush for 2 weeks so they finish at week 10 of flower?
