First Time Grow Log

[Heraldo]

Don't know if this helps but growing 1 plant under about 100w CFL and a fairly less elaborate feed my best yield was just under 1oz. Based on that I'd say 1 1/2oz per plant sounds like a fair guess. But like I said... it's just a guess

 

[bcuz92]

Well I really hope 600 watt HPS can outperform 100 watts of CFL's a bit more than that lol

 

[bcuz92]

I got 125 watt CFL hanging in there vertically as side lighting lol

16 days since the flip from 18 to 12 hours a day.
600W hps...125w 2700k & 23w 6500k cfl as side lighting.

 

[Heraldo]

Oops... yeah, I probably lowballed you on that guess. Still, I feel like it wouldn't be a bad yield for a first grow. From here on out your yields can only get better.

Well my plants are only 10 inches to about 18 inches tall and I only have 4 of them and one of them was only vegged for maybe a week or so...but its exploding with budsites....the other 3 are just developing more and more mass to buds.. Culd already pull a zip off all 4 of them so cant imagine 6-8 weeks from now

Day 21 of flowering.
600W hps and 23w 6500k cfl for side light

& two seedlings.. One is trainwreck and the one with the darker wider leaves is bagseed like the rest of my plants

 

[bcuz92]

Started 12/12 on 2-15 so today is day 30 since i switched lights to 12/12.
600W hps and a 23w 6500k cfl for side light on the backside..
2 plants are in 1 1/2gal and 2 plants are in 5gal pots
No nut burn or problems
I havent started giving them molasses yet, im nervous if the soil will get sticky and collect massive levels of salts and lock out my plants from yielding what i need. I give them about 2-4tablespoons of big bloom and 1teaspoon of tiger bloom... Im debating on using alaskan kelp meal, fox farm kangaroots, alaskan morbloom(possibly as a supplement), or some of this earth juice cal-mag supplement, but the issue is that it has 3% nitrogen and idk if thats a good idea....havent used any PH testers of any calibration for the water...just tap water left in clean empty milk jugs for days to weeks to let unwanted stuff somewhat evaporate...

Any comments or opinions on how they look...am i doing good? Suggestions on what i should use to feed these babies to reach potential? Ive been very light with the nutrients the whole grow, and i guess i just dont know what to do because this is my 1st indoor grow.

They look good, remember sometimes less is more.
Be carefull with that 23w cfl its another light on another timer, i dont think the 23w will make a huge difference in yield but it could definatly ruin a good thing real quick if it came on at the wrong time

 

[Budley Dorite]

Looking good. I think you are going to surpass your goal of 4 zips.

 

[bcuz92]

It looks like I could cut down all 4 plants and dry it out right now and get an ounce a plant... they are only halfway through today is 33 days since the switch to 12 hours on 12 hours off and I think they're going to double in size so I'm praying to God for a good harvest because I'm tired of paying $10 a gram to smoke high-quality herb

 

[bcuz92]

Both lights are on the same time they both come out at 7 a.m. and turn off at 7pm everyday...loll a gram per watt.. That 23w will add 23grams to my harvest!!!! Lol joking joking

 

[bcuz92]

I already have another 600 watt HPS kit with a dimmable ballast and the metal highlight and high pressure sodium bulb and light hangers and another outlet timer in the mail come in right now LOL...in going to run 5 plants under each 600w hps so 10 plants

Hope all is well in your world.

Is this grow still alive?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.
