Hi Guys. This is my first time growing and my first Journal. Follow me and my Journey in Growing some (hopefully) amazing bud. Feel free to comment and offer advise. Although please remember I'm on a tight budget so spending loads isn't an option.

I started this Journal a little late so here's a quick update. The plants were started mid summer (Europe) and started as outdoor plants. The Cookies are about 7 weeks old and the Haze about 4. Due to issues in weather I have decided to move indoors.

The plants have been in the tent for a week with minimal lighting due to budget, but upgrading as I go along.

Here are the first pics ever taken of them. Enjoy, hopefully you will find this Journal entertaining as well as enlightening. Thumbs up to all my green fingered growers

Thanks to @Pennywise for your help and making one feel welcome.​

There you go, join in on other journals where peeps are hanging out and meet some of our other members. You'll learn a lot in a short time period. We have some awesome growers here at 420.

Changing Light Cycle from 24/0 to 20/4 tonight. Let's see how they react with a little rest. Average temp in tent is about 27°Celsius. So the rest and cool down should make happy plants.

 

[Pennywise]

Plants store carbohydrates during lights on and they use them when lights go off. So I'll always give them a dark period each day.

Thanks @CavScout420. Enjoy the thread. Hopefully I don't disappoint

After taking the advise from @Pennywise I can only say things seem to be improving even after one night of light cycle change. My Cookies plant had an amazing sweet smell this morning which it didn't before. mmmm smells Good.

 

[TeddyTough]

Hey All, so an update. After checking my plants I have noticed white spots on the leaves, not many but noticeable, tgis is on my Cookies plant. Still no nutes running a 20/4 Cycle In Veg stage. I have taken pictures. Any advice?

Day 4 of my Journal and it's pic day. These are indoor plants under CFL Lighting in a 4x4 tent ( started outdoor) 20/4 light schedule, no nutes just all natural.

This is my first so it's all a learning curve. I need advise on when to trim these babies and at what stage they look like they are at! Any advise welcome.

@Pennywise @CavScout420 Hey Guys sorry for tagging you. Could I ask please if you could take a look at my latest entry and let me know your thoughts. Do I need to trim? How far from Veg do they look? Should I top my GSC? And any general advise you might have! Thanks in advance guys. Hope all is well your side.

 

[TeddyTough]

Sorry @Icemann420 I wanted to tag you and ask your opinion as well.

 

[Icemann420]

There looking really good. I wouldn’t top now it’s to late. You should top really early in veg. Like when the plant has 3-4 sets of leaves. Topping now will stress and slow growth. I also don’t see the need to defoliate She’s not that compact. But looking great.

 

[Icemann420]

Looks like the pic of the last plant could use some magnesium

 

[TeddyTough]

Great thanks for your advice Sir

 

[Icemann420]

All natural. Means little buds if any. You will have to feed sometime. The nutrients are all used up in the soil now. The ya what’s going on with the coloring. And spots.

Immediately i see a few things wrong, but first i need a bit more information. When you water them, what sort of water (tap?, Distilled/filtered?, well water?)
At what ph ?

Im not experienced with organic soil at all, i've always used GH nutrients and potting soil from lowes. I'll offer what knowledge i can!

 

[TeddyTough]

Ah ok that makes sense. I'm on a budget hence why not much nutes. What could I use and how could I use magnesium?

 

[TeddyTough]

I use tap water, I let it stand a few hours to get rid of any chemicals. And that's it. @Icemann420 was saying it looks like I need to feed it some magnesium. So I want to see what the cheapest healthiest way is. I feed them every second day as they are light in weight.

 

[Icemann420]

What type and how much nutrients have you used so far. And what do you have.

 

[TeddyTough]

I haven't used any nutes ever.
