Asgkjnvasdlp's First Ever Fem Blue Cheese T5 Wardrobe Grow

[asgkjnvasdlp]

It's a late start for a journal, but I have one feminised blue cheese plant from Barneys farm, it's in a 8 gallon container with a mix of compost perlite and a little bit of coir.
Ferts I've used fish blood and bone worked into the soil, it's under six 54 watt t5 bulbs so 350 watts, just want opinions and help and guidance really
thanks

I forgot to mention, it's just in the first week of flowering now!

she looks pretty; you got any more pics? close ups of the leaves etc.

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

Just acquired some foliage pictures yes

I like the fact that the lights are a softer colour now, they don't feel like you're staring at the sun

Looks good. Only thing I would suggest is possibly defoiliating to expose more bud sites.
Increasing yield with defoliation indoors - What's it mean? How to do it?

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

I'd love to do that, but it feels so wrong, but looking at the photo, of the deep-dark-forest-esque plant I do see why it'd help...

I felt wrong doing it too but I think in the long run it help much more than it hurt. I think most of the hurt was me being butthurt. Go easy at first. Just whack a couple or ten of leaves that would clear out a lot of shade. Without enough light your bud growth will be limited.

Come see my grow....I used only T5 HO Florescent lighting. One is 2 foot 4 bulb and one is a 4 foot 4 bulb. I didn't document the defoil but I did use the method.
3 week of Flower. DWC + HO Flourescents

Hmm, nice grow ill have a go today then I Spose

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

I did the deed.

Probably not the best photos, but I'm probably not the best photographer
And here is the whole pant, with a more level canopy now too thanks to a whole load of garden twine
For some reason a picture of a seed emerging is all my photo Gallery seems to want to upload, despite me never seeing it before, ill update when I can

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

My camera makes all the leaf node areas look bright yellow instead of light green, I was panic stricken for a brief moment

 

[ColoradoKid]

It looks very nice. The defoliation like MikeTbob said is very beneficial to your plant.

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

So now I don't pick anymore until when? Or do I just pick the odd one when it needs it?

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

Update of today

Trained it so its all lower, haven't picked anymore not till I get permission:L
Can see the light penetrating better its good

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

Loads more visible bud sites, it's all so exciting

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

anyone with any comments or advice for me?

 

[Equanimity]

anyone with any comments or advice for me?

comment: your grow looks ace
advice: everything you read online is lies. especially the Northern Ireland section on the BBC News website.

 

[asgkjnvasdlp]

Aw brilliant, I was fine before put all the pictures and stuff on this site now I'm just craving approval from strangers so thanks for giving me my fix

And I wouldn't expect much else from the BBC News website anyway

 

[MikeTbob]

It looks good to me. I think you should read up on the defoil thread and see how long you need to wait. I don't recall right off hand. Keep up the good work.

 

[ColoradoKid]

It is looking better.
