Hello all Im finally starting my first grow

[Strain Hunter]

Both daddy long leg and jumping spiders don't not make webs. IMO they both are beneficial to a growroom. They both eat the real pests. And do no harm to your plants.

Thats good to know Weed man, i shall take note

Alright Question time:

The Weed
Baja Big Dog
Strain Hunter

Pouring light on Trish based on the stretch folks say she has.
I had aprox. 2600 lumens on top.
Added another bulb now aprox. 5200.
Is that enough?

Had high watt bulb on side, shining into her mid section too hot got wilt,
so I want to stick with the 5k on top to stop the stretch.
Will it help? Any and all coments welcome..

More light captain. If the heat build up is too much increase your ventilation. I am vegging under 40,000 lumen and will increase that to roughly 250,000 as the get bigger. No such thing as too much light. Too much heat, yes but no too much light.

Thanks bro..

Putting a fan on her and trying the intense bulb again.
She's been drinking more than usual it seems.
Is this normal?

 

[Screwnuts33]

Fans and more light/heat will cause them to drink more and additional evaporation.

How she doing? You love them and care for them and what do they do?
Is this the first using the phototron, is this your first grow?
I hope the method your trying now works, she has health flowers.
I will take some pictures today so you can see my babies. I'm going to be starting some new kids soon.
I forgot to change my timers last night. The lights went on at six I am planning on leaving them on this timing. I hope it's ok.
Let me know how your girl is doing.

Hey Cat
She's doing good. Seems like she breaths better after trim.
Yes it's my first grow.

They love it up, and act like the pretty spoiled brats they are.
Yes, first time with a phototron. Picked it up for $30 didn't know
what it was, but thought I reconized it from a flower shop way back.

Actually thought it was a hydro unit .

Yeah leave it there, funny thing the girls have me on their schedule.
I find myself waking couple times to check time, cause I wrap Trish
in a blanket, to prevent light leak (I've been made paranoid of hermie)
so I'm up no less than an hour after her to prevent overheating.
Sad but true.
Looking forward to pics.

Need some help all:

A 10 gal rez. plant in flower. After adding nutes
What should the ppm be?
thru 420 for it. now.
Thanks

You lost me...Paint a better pic

 

[littlelil]

I know I've been reading all the info from the "Grow" forum, I've been reading everything.

 

[littlelil]

I had to laugh at your post, you sound like me. I get up to make sure the lights are on and check on them all the time. I call them young ladies now they are now maturing.
Lol

Thanks Cat.

Finally got a TDS meter
(measures parts per million in nutrient solution)ppm
Nutrients to water.
Wondering what is recommended for my size rez.
I've some flex room to add water if needed.
Again thanks.

Yup too funny
Just cut socializing short to get home to put her blanket on.
Found myself counting down till she goes to sleep, couldn't take it
Like children they are, you spoil them and then you're scared to find out
what happens if you stop.
So so sad.

 

[Aprentice]

That's what too much reading will do for you, and yes I kinda throw
myself into my intrests.
Problem is too many so a bit scatter brained.
Drooling over TDS and PH testers for bout 1/2 year now.
Things just finally aligned

 

[Aprentice]

Hey all Update time

How does she look?
All advice/comments welcome

 

[Aprentice]

Hey all

Sorry about the rushed update. Got some pics up so you knew she was o.k.
Alright here we go:
Still not sure what her exact age is, or how long till harvest. If you can help me with either I would appreciate.
Watering today, Keeping it simple just Big bud n Bud candy AV
Last watering was very heavy over 900 on TDS. starting at 150. PH 5.5 5.6
Buds are growing slowly but surely. Staring at her every day makes it hard to
see changes, so I'm trying to just sneak peeks. I talk to her and blow on her
(What could be better than daddy's co2)
She seems to have stopped stretching. I'm assuming it's the combination of:
The top leaves getting burned by the light,the all over trim I gave her and the additional light and MYLAR I added really love the results I'm getting from it !
Between adding more light and moving her into the sun. A lamp I have in the phototron shifted, by the time I checked on her couple hrs. later, yeah you guessed it bulb was resting square on one of the lower branch's top bud.
Left it for a couple days, didn't come back.
Picked it rolled it smoked it(why cry)
Well you're totally and properly updated... Took some more pics...
Any help with her feeding during these final stages would be great.!
I'm really just playing Ganja plant whisperer/listener


Remember Baby Bud

I'm no baby!!!

My favorite bud.

I talk to her and blow on her

That's so funny, great , I do the same thing.
Last night I put a radio in with them, found some nice Jazz and wondered, will it keep them awake? Laughing at myself. Then I got up this morning and they are listening to some yellng preacher, poor babies..

Being a beginner myself I can only tell you what I have been giving mine, it's called, Flower Magic. It conains Nitrogen ..9.0, phosphate.....18., soluble Potash 9 percent.
I like it because it works and you can use it in a mister.
remember before,

and after. This is with all the added lights too

She is the biggest.
I was drooling over the one you have, loaded with crystals, looked like frost.
How was the one you smoked?

Cat
The kids it seems like yesterday when they were just a little seed, they grow so fast..

Funny you mention the radio, they get talk radio,jazz and reggae
To be honest I don't remember. It was what is called commercial here (not hydro) Mid-grade at best.
I've come to the conclusion bag weed (with seeds)
is mass grown without the care we put into our babies. There is no care to separate males, hence the seeds,
so the over all potency must be less. I can't wait to smoke her. The difference must be vast!
Don't you worry your girl is about to surprise you with crystals soon!
I still can't believe I was drooling over the pics on 420, now I have one of the
plants I was drooling over. This place is the best!
I guess you are getting into this yourself! Huh?
What is the mister?
How does it work?

Sup bro,

I was just skimming through ur journal and I have a ????.

1. How long have you been flowering for?
Normally MJ plant bud for between 8 and 10 weeks some strains have longer flowering times. Hope this will help you know when to harvest.

Looks like she's pretty healthy. I dont mess with a PH meter or care about the ppm. I just water them as needed and add my nutes every week.
