First Time Grow Log

Can't help you with that, I run LED's

 

[bcuz92]

I will give it a few more years and let the LED technology advanced a little bit more before I dip into it... as of right now if you don't spend big bucks on a top-quality panel you're going to be stuck with fluffy buds and the plants will be beautiful and they will grow very nicely but they just won't pack on the weight that hps does... Thats what i been told..hps still runs the roost

Is it true that they don't sell Fox Farm ocean forest in Canada? Lol

My buddy gave me 2 seeds out of a bag of Green Goblin from a dispensary out of San Diego, California... I read up on Green Goblin and I guess they change the name from Green crack to Green Goblin to tone it down a little bit and its a sativa dominant strain with a mind blistering thc content

12 days into flower
600w hps and 4 plants...
Fox farm tiger bloom.. Big bloom.. Earth juice calmag.

The bottom pic is a picture of my 4th plant.. Vegged for a week and put into flower immediately..all 4 are 100% female no hermie or male parts anywhere

All looking great I get all excited seeing plants in early stage of flower, well actually in all stages but.....

 

[bcuz92]

Hey mb5200 if ur there wait im downloading new pics from today.. 15 days since i switched them to 12/12.

 

[mb5200]

Haha, I'm here, never go too far.... I'll eat some loaded banana bread while you download

 

[bcuz92]

I've been trying to download pictures but it won't let me upload new pictures on to my gallery only have 101 pictures

-its been 15 days since i changed the light schedule to 12/12 and i already have great bud development
-4 plants and 3 small seedlings
-600w hps about 12inches from the canopy & two 23w 6500k cfls for side light
-fox farm big bloom, tiger bloom, earth juice calmag, brer rabbit molasses, fox farm kangaroots, & im considering trying to use alaska morbloom as a supplement, considering fox farm beastie bloomz is a 0-50-30 or something like that and alaska morbloom is a 0-10-10 so i think late in flowering 1/8th of a teaspoon will help my girls develop thick monster buds definitely around week 4-6.. ANY INPUT ON THE MORBLOOM AS SUPPLEMENT WOULD BE AMAZING!?!?!?!?!??!
-Temps kept between 70-82 and humidity between 40-55%


I was running her at 400w,...but after consideration i figured why not shoot for 600grams dry weight harvest......OMG after using the 600w for the last week now turning the ballast to 250w looks like nothing, i dont know how people grow 5-10 plants under one 400w hps... I think 4 plants under a 600w is just the perfect amount of light, considering my tallest plant is only 17inches off the dirt but has 10-12 branches with bud development with 95000 lumens cranking on them from above only 12inches from the canopy i really think that these girls can pack on some nice weight because only 15 days since light change and strong bud structures

 

[mb5200]

15 days in flower, looking great man sounds like your light is pretty close but if it ain't burning anything thats awesome.

 

[bcuz92]

Judging on how they look strong stems and roots and 8inches-17inches tall 4 plants under a 600w what do u think is a safe yield estimate?

 

[bcuz92]

I thought I saw a tiny little millimeter of nutrient burn on the new lease so I just gave them a watering with a little bit of big bloom and I don't see anymore I think I was just over exaggerating lol... I think for a first grow I'm doing a damn good job definitely at keeping my environment and a good temperature and humidity level and the plants don't look nutrient burn at all but a lot of my leaves are turning yellow on my biggest plant maybe it's just lacking a lot of Nitrogen because I just plucked off like 20 yellow leaves today all off the bottom of the plant..im sure that kelloggs patio plus soil is drained of nuts by now.. I wish i would of had ocean forest soil when i transplanted my 2 biggest into there final pot a month or so ago.

 

[bcuz92]

I added 2 DIY c02 generators made from milk jugs and yeast and sugar water..only 4 plants and that should add alot of c02.. my smallest plant is exploding in the stretch every day it looks like she grows a couple inches...i got the 600w hps over them about 15 inches.. And i have one 23w 6500k cfl and one 125w 2700k cfl for side lighting...gosh i hope this yield will put personal in my pocket til the next harvest.

 

[mb5200]

Sounds like your having fun, would love to see some pics of your DIY co2 generator and a deatiled description on what you did.

 

[bcuz92]

It didnt work. I dont need c02 i got plenty of fresh air.. Judging on my pics and wattage what do u think is a realistic dry yield estimate guess?! lol

 

[mb5200]

I am the wrong person to ask about yields, I am never even close.........

 

[bcuz92]

Loll. If i can get a half a gram enough to pack my bowl off of a 600w hps ran for 4 months and hundreds of dollars in electricity i think thats a good investment...lmao joking

 

[mb5200]

What do you hope to get?

 

[bcuz92]

Im hoping to get 10lbs of dry herb with 100% THC content... Loll na... Id be happy with 4-6 dry ounces
