Alafornia's 1st Time Multistrain Medical Grow

[Canine246810]

Plants look good Ala. I had gotten them yeller stripes before and if im correct it was too much nutes after the 12/12 switch. I gave the girla some plain water and they got better. My beans have not sprouted yet so patiently waiting.

I buy this stuff from peavey mart, it’s been treating me very well, pretty easy on the wallet as well. Three part system and I bought some extra cal mag to put into my repertoire

Beeen pretty easy with these nutes, I don’t have a pic of the cal mag I have but I hope this helps.

Backlip, thanks but from what I found these nutes will cost me $30 to ship from canada. I will hit the hydro shop I get soil from theyre a pretty knowledgeable shop ran by stoners.

"Gave Westley a little top drink. Roughly 4 oz. it had been nine days (correction, eight days) and the pot felt very light and I was noticing some small changes in leaf color. It may have been the complete wrong thing to do but we shall see."

I feel ya, Al. I'll stare at my little seedlings for 30 minutes asking myself, "Should I give them a little water, or are they good?" On one shoulder is Emilya (with a halo, of course) saying, "what are the plants doing to let you know that they want water?" And on the other shoulder (with the horns) is me slurring my speech a little saying, "Awww hell, what'll hurt to give em a little water?" Thankfully, I rarely listen to little drunk, shoulder-sitting Fish.

Just catching up from the weekend and everything looks spectacular! Keep doing what you do, Al.

Such familiar dialect in our heads! keep the good fight up!

Hey Ala, hows your temps? Its hot over here in mid 90s. Have any pointers on keeping the tent temps down. Your girls look damn good so apparently you educated yourself pretty well.

 

[Alafornia]

BR, outside temps in the 90's with humidity in the teens over the next week at least. We're getting into hot weather now.
I have an ac in the tent hooked up to an inkbird thermostat with a heater for the cold nights. I also use CMH lights, which are full spectrum good coverage and intensity but more efficient than MH/HPS. I can touch the hood with them on fully and not burn my hand. I can move up to 442 cfpm with my ventilation fan in the 5x5 foot tent. Temp inside the tent have not been a problem yet. Knock on wood. ETA: humidity has been an issue but it's better.

Ala sure does seem that you favor westley, lol.

Mr. A, your tent looks like the professional home garden. Awesome job. You will be starting with the organic, healthy, and clean cannabis for your family's meds. Great journal.

She's a popular girl. I guess I do dote on her a little. Did you see the picture of the mostly dead version of her?

Nice growth in there now! I'm seeing leaves getting close to the soil, so this is the kind of thing to watch for:

Been keeping an eye on those. Think I should go ahead and remove them now?

 

[InTheShed]

If they were mine, I'd take them. Getting too close for comfort for me. Also, tagged you in to my update this morning in case you haven't seen it.

 

[Alafornia]

Haven't really had the chance yet but I'll try to get over there this evening. About to head back to work.

 

[InTheShed]

Enjoy!

Cant say I did but I figured she mustve had a rough phase and is pulling through. Kinda like my sick pup right now I give her the most attention out of the 4. Shes definately looking good.

Hello mrs Al!

Looking great Al. Just enjoy the ride bro. You are doing a fantastic job for the first time with all the right equipment, genetics, and people around with crazy amount of knowledge here on 420.
Really respect what you doing for the family. Keep up the great work my friend

^ what Sparky said.

Not sure why it does that, stops giving me notifications that you posted and then I fall behind lol!

Getting your tent set up real nice Mr. A!!

Everything is looking great!!

I know, right?! You turn around for two seconds...

I appreciate the compliments I've gotten on this grow, my first. I attribute the success to two things:

1. I studied the hell out of this before getting started. If you are considering growing cannabis then do your homework. I'm a busy guy and didn't know much about growing a tomato before I got started so it took me a few months to get a halfway decent grasp on medium, light, ventilation, flowering, harvest, etc;.. If you put the work in on the front end it is worth the effort. I still feel ill-prepared at times. I don't know how people who just decide to do it on a whim with no experience ever succeed. God bless 'em if it works for them.

2. 420 Magazine has the most helpful, kind, friendly, wonderful folks participating in these forums that you will find anywhere on or off line. You guys are always ready with answers to questions and sometimes you just see something and jump right in to offer advice. It is much appreciated and these plants would very likely not be alive without you. They would certainly not be thriving as they are. I'm not going to start naming names simply because I'll leave someone off. You also have been great with supporting me, not just the plants. I appreciate that as well - more than you know. Thank you all for being awesome you!

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

I’m with you on all that

Great gardening, Al

Growing like weeds!

A few pictures of the grow tent and our strains.

You better get bigger mason jars then that Al. Your new watering schedule and how they big they will be under those awesome lights will be at least 2/3 big jars each strain. Just saying brother

I’ve been trying to stay on the ball though!
