When I first looked at the top picture I thought that you used a mini rake to make furrows in the soil. Then I realized it was lines in the photo. I guess I shouldn't have smoked my lunch.

Your setup looks good and the girl looks very healthy. It looks like you have everything under control. I am signed up for this.

Yes roughly, I have grown one of these before, quite poorly I might add but i was a monster towards harvest, easily out grew the space and my CFL setup

 

[Mello136]

I'm thinking that's what will be happening to me and my 3 plants. I have a 3.5ft x 5ft x 6.5ft area.

Hopefully not, mine got out of control haha I even tried to lst with no success, long story short she got ravaged by cats then developed defiencys, anyways u live and ya learn , but u should totally train early on to avoid that fate

 

[Mello136]

Really? How early? I'm still at day 7 or so.

You know mello that's a good question haha, I usually start when the plant has around 3 nodes, but I could very well be wrong, but then again this could be one one of those that is opinionated

 

[Mello136]

Could be. I'll wait till my plants are bigger, post a pic, and ask around if it's time. Usually growing methods are opinionated, but all are considered.

Update!!!!!


Hello everyone I know it has only been two whole days haha, but I feel inclined to update whenever I make changes or record data helps me keep organized, but anywho I had to water Special queen yesterday so I decided to give a 1/4 strength nute feeding of Maxigro.

PH:6.5 (with no ph adjusting!!! surprised me since my tap is about 8.0)

PPM: came out at 707

Run-off PH: 7.0

Now, I know some may feel its a bit too early for a dose of nutes, and perhaps it is but ill be monitoring for yellowing tips ETC....
here's a pic of the little girl on day#9 Today!!!:

Update!

So last night I transplanted special Queen into a 3 Gallon pot, I also switched the lighting cycle to 20/4, hoping to promote some root growth as I tore a little of her roots while making the container switch Hopeully she will be alright as she looks sorta droopy since last night. If anyone has any suggestions im listening!!!

I have new addition as well!!!

she is a feminzed strawberry blue!!!

Here are some pics of the above situation and the lil baby:

Looking good my friend. They usually take a few days to recover from re-potting. Your new one looks quite nice.

Hey LionoFJudah, I'm actually doing a Blog, it's a slow start so I haven't had much to add yet, but I will, thanks for asking.

 

[LionoFJudah27]

Update!!!

So it has been a week , and I have been battling with my own mistakes I realized that Special queen was under heat stress due to her proximity to the HPS lamp:

In the end I ended up moving the plant further away from the light

I think she looks fine I gave her a light dose of ph'd water and roots orgainic for its cal/mag properties hopefully this solves the yellowing issues

I have also started a DWC plant I will be posting a journal to compare soil and a simple DWC system

 

[LionoFJudah27]

Hello again those of you still following this thread......:rolleyes3

I have an update!!


So special queen has made a full recovery and is growing like a monster now!!

thought id post how lush she looks
