Here they are today a few hours before lights out. A little thirsty they got watered yesterday. I'm up to just about daily waterings now in the 1 gals. Getting ready to upsize soon. I was planning on 3 gals but I do have 5s. I may have to super crop that tall one

Bigger is better! I use 10s now, but you may have trouble with your space. Do 7s if you can, and yup.... Super crop that bad boy! Mine did fine.

It took this long for me to fill 1 gals. Can't imagine what it would take for 15s lol being under some good light now should help.

Travelled back in time a few pages and sitting in for the rest mate, looking the goods. Just in time for the flower show

 

[TurboBucket]

Thanks for stopping in. Made it just in time for the good stuff of course haha.

Those are what I just finished up

 

[Tunkers]

Damn theres a lotta heads! Very tidy work mate, they all looked super healthy too

 

[TurboBucket]

Had it's struggles but they all made it

Been sick and lazy lately. Looks like I went too low with the pH last time they've been pretty crummy. I thought I just drown them so I let em dry out a bit but still bleh. They got transplanted today which sucked. I didn't have enough dirt mixed up for the 5 gals and the 3 gals I thought I had were actually 2s..... So they got a little more room and watered in with some compost tea.

They have started bushing out on the bottoms more could be from the lights, could be the seaplex may just be the way they like to grow.

 

[Pennywise]

They'll come back, you know what they need.

 

[LadyGaea]

They will bounce back. They are pretty resilient!

 

[TheMadDabber]

Hope they perk up for ya there turbo. They typically will jump out of a funk really quick if you catch it like you did. #bounceback

 

[TurboBucket]

Yea I'm sure they'll be fine. Still frustrating, shouldn't have messed with them haha

 

[TheMadDabber]

Yep. But shit man were all human. Take it from the guys who set his timer to 16 8. Were human life happens. The only way we work up to the grand master level is making some mistakes. You cant learn everything from books, and at some point learn the hard way. Good news is were a lot less likely to repeat those mistakes

 

[TurboBucket]

Haha right. I had pH issues early on and kept it over 6.2 for the grows since then. But i See a lot of stuff that says run pro-mix like hydro so I figured give it a shot. maybe that's why my plants always seem to have slight mag/phos deficiency? Nope, poor choice, grass is not greener on the other side.

 

[Pennywise]

I tend to set ph a little higher, normally 6.2-6.3

 

[TheMadDabber]

Yep. Dont forget these are landraces... (I say that like I know what I'm talking about) but maybe they prefer a different ph? I have no clue just a thought... but I have heard lower end of the spectrum in veg and higher in flower. But wtf do I know I've yet.to ph ONCE since growing probably should start....

 

[TurboBucket]

Yea those thoughts are what pushed me towards changing what I had been doing. Tropical soils are typically more acidic so I gave it a shot.

They don't look great but growing again so all good. It's been several days and a couple of waterings since they've had any nutes. I'm tired of the tall gangly one's so they're getting some haircuts tonight.

 

[TurboBucket]

Snip snip. Slightly more presentable. Also tossed a Pineapple Express 2, gbomb,and a girl scout crack in there with em. If I'm gonna make seeds may as well go all out.

New growth seems a little darker so hopefully you got this.

 

[SamSmith]

Looks to be improving. Growing out new strains always seems like a guessing game. What worked in the past may not fit with the current plants you're working with.
