Dragoond2's Soil Girl Scout Crack & Others Grow Journal 2019

[Dragoond2]

Ya looks way better then any plant I have grown. But yes i can see what you mean about the stretching and the nodes. Do you mind telling me what your set up and nutes are?

The GS Crack is in my 2' x 2' vegging tent. The light is a good quality Chinese made LED....450 watts. I grow in Promix BX and feed all my plants Mega Crop 1.0...……..she is in 16/8 lighting. Most likely because I won't have a spot in my relatively small flowering tent to grow her I'll take a cutting, get it rooted, and add this plant to my mulch pile. Then put some effort into growing out the clone. This plant got ignored (fed and watered yes) but I wasn't paying attention to how she was growing so it's my fault she is the way she is.

So photo update and a question.

So question is should I change out the 600w for a 300w to get a little stretch. Last two grows I was using a 300w Mars hydro and I feel as though they had more height by now with it. Should I be concerned or not?
Light is at highest point 26".
I think I labeled those pics right lol.

 

[beez0404]

The seelings are 3, 4, and 5 days old respectively. How tall would you expect them to be? What you're not seeing is the growth taking place beneath the soil. They won't grow upwards till they've got roots to support them.

 

[Dragoond2]

I understand that's why I'm asking. I didn't keep a grow journal for my first two grows. But I remember them being taller stretching to the light. Not sure if it can be cause for concern that these are not.
Here a pic of my first plant at a week old. Color is crap sorry. I do know that depending on light intensity they can stretch more or less.

 

[beez0404]

Be patient, give them time. If you're in a hurry by all means change out the lights and see what happens.

 

[Dragoond2]

I am impatient and I really just don't wanna mess up this grow. I'm going to give it time cuz I do wanna see what this light can do. Thanks for your input.

this should help me relax a bit.

So just a quick update on the three girls.

To me they are looking good so far. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

Please leave comments letting me know what y'all think or if anyone see anything to be concerned about.

 

[beez0404]

One thing that catches my eye is that the soil is wet in every photos you've shared so far. How often are you watering the plants and how much are you giving them per watering?

 

[Dragoond2]

Every other day about 2-3 shot glasses of water

 

[Dragoond2]

I broke down and changed the 600w out for the 300w Mars hydro hoping that my baby's will get taller

 

[beez0404]

Either of those two lights are obviously capable of doing the job. You just have to find the sweet spot for the light. Not too close, not too far, but just right.

 

[Dragoond2]

So added a humidifier to the tent to bring up the humidity now reaching 57% rh. Also photo update cuz the girl scout crack has started to grow a lot.

Sorry if I'm uploading to many photos.
Just not much else to update about.

 

[beez0404]

Everyone loves photos. They tell the whole story.

 

[Dragoond2]

So I just noticed that my fan has a build up of a white residue that I can easily wipe off with my finger. Could this be just from the humidifier run with tap water or worse white powder mold. My rh is around 60% a bit worried what should I do? Water was building up on the fan so I hope it's like lime scale or hard water etc...

So I know this is ridiculous of me but after a week and some growth with the 300w Mars hydro light I changed back to the 600w vivosun at 17 inch from canopy.

Weren't you concerned about height constraints? Why would you push them to stretch this early?

Some plants can stretch up to 300% when flipped. If I were uncertain about a certain pheno, I sure wouldn't be trying to induce any unnecessary stretching... especially with low headspace.

Just my 2 cents..


Everything looks fine over there cuz! Let them do their thing.

 

[Dragoond2]

I think I was a bit more concerned about light intensity in the early weeks and some about height not wanting the lower leaves touching the soil or hold on to moisture by have lower leaves stacked so close together. I got a small fan on them but I did add a humidifier now I do worry about mold. Thanks for all the likes @Preston9mm my phone was blowing up.
