First Time Grow

[FoF1985]

plants are so small in my old pics!

still on 18/6 . most plants are 1 and 1/2 feet tall . the tall one is 2 and 1/4 . shorth ones are 1 and 1/2 rest are inbeetween . cant wait to see what theese buds look like when i get them flowering on a HPS . if i had the light ide be flowering them allready but o well just means a bigger yeild right ? . also . should i repot and wait 2 weeks to flower or just flower in there current pots ? and any ideas whats wrong with my one sick plant ? ph of the run off is fine . i think either to much water with high heat or low temps . not 100% sure . this was my bushiest plant and now its dying .

those plants are crazy looking good job!

 

[FoF1985]

thnks alot man ! cant wait tio see them start budding esp the topped ones !

 

[FoF1985]

any ideas on what that might be wrong with that first sick plant?

 

[ilikebike]

maybe a cal/mag deficiency not 100% i would feel more comfortable telling you that if some one else agreed with me.

major mistake today. lights have been on a 18/6 routene for a while with me un pluging /pluggig them in by hand. when i go to the night time i plug in a heater that lets me keep the temp where i want it to be and during the day i luck out and the temps stay pretty good with the two lights running . anyways i guess i forgot to unplug the heater today when i plugged the lights in and i threw the breaker . came back 9hrs later to darkness , probably all day maybe 16 hrs straight . . . hoping it doest mess them up to much going to leave them on for the remaining 7 hrs there supposed to be on. then off for 6 . then on for 18 again to stay with the normal routene .

so ! jd lightings has decided im lucky enough to try out one of there 1000W digital ballasts ! big thanks to jd lightings ! i lookf orward to using ur product and providing everyone with a review of how well it works ! ill be running a 1000W HPS off this and maybe even have dual 1000W HPS and end up doing a side by side comparison of how the JD ballast stands out !

blue planet nutrients has also said yes to supplying me with some nutrients as i step up to my bigger lights and hydro ! i will probably be picking some up to finish my soil and run my hydro . big thanks to Blue Planet nutrients for the discounted product !

also . took some cuttings today! going to order my hydro setup soon along with a bunch of other things so i want to have rooted cuttings read and waiting for when it all gets here!

temps were a little low where the clones ar so i picked up a little heater off a friend to keep them warm .

 

[ilikebike]

sounds good what are your temps at?, also what did you think about the jd light squad? are you in>?

sounds good what are your temps at?, also what did you think about the jd light squad? are you in>?

in the veg room there about 79 in the day and 70 at night . RH is about 40% during the day and 60ish at night . i stopped using the humidifer and ithink i shoulda kept using it . plants seemed to like higher humidity for veging imo but i could be wrong .

in the clone tank temps are NOW at 85 and RH is 90% all the clones are under 1 30W florescent in a fish tank .now that i got the temp up "was around 70 " the clones look much more alive . a few were sagging before and all but one are now .

the plants took a big hit when i left for a few days and im kinda sad . my tallest best looking plant might not make it and the others are just starting to look dark green again . i will upload some pics but there nothing to be proud of .

clones look good though !

my 3 short plants have decided to stop growing imo as they havent grown much in the last week or two so ive decided to flower them . along with my one tall sick plant or it may just die . . . sadly. . . i have 4 bushy healthy still growing plants i plan on vegging for a few more weeks then hitting with my tuned in HPS setup on the JD ballast and some blue planet nutrients . just going to pick the light up on monday or tuesday everything else after that.

hopefully my clones make it . 1 is dead forsure . the others still look very much alive . i never have luck when i do clones . i did however find 10+ seeds in some pretty good bud the other day . germinated 5 of them and 2 have sprouted .

ups and downs . quite the learning curve to this i must say

1 by 1 my clones are dying . i have 11 good ones left and im not seeing ANY signs of rooting in the rockwool . so sad what a waste ! i may need a aeroponic cloner to get cloning to work !

I have used an aeroponic cloner both times i have cloned and i dont see any reason to go to any other method, it truley is the easiest, cheapest, most fool proof method when it comes to cloning.

im sorry to bring such a late update to everyone . . . shortly after the last pics were posted my friend had a domestic situation resulting in a house full of fuzz and VSU and yea . it was a bad situation. the same girl who called the police robbed the house blind of these as well as most smaller personal possessions a few hours after the incident and then disappeared under police protection. she did however leave the lights . so they will be used again. i apologize to EVERYONE whom i lost contact with . jd lightings and BPN mostly. it would have been great to finish this under ur ballast and nutrients but i guess it just was not ment to be. i will be starting a new journal over the course of the next little bit . ill post a link here when i do and if anyone would like to know when i do just send me a pm and ill let you know . questions/comments can go to my inbox .
