Mixed 5 Seeds & First Journal

[morphin]

Hello guys.
Maybe It's too late to open a journal but I'm still in veg with my;
Regular seed list: Bruce Banner, LSD, Super Lemon, Skunk Lemon, Money Maker.
I use 2x600W MH light and Its have been 70 days after seeds touched to soil.

3 days ago I got some clones from them and I'm waiting for being sure to see they rooted to switch my lights to HPS.



I saw some issue on lower leafs at my indica plants and I don't know what is the reason of that.
I feed them with Advanced nutrients "grow, bloom, micro" set every week.
I use them 2 cover "1 cover almost 4ml " from every bottle to 3L water and give them all.

What is wrong with this plant?
Can you help me please?

Happy growing! Forgive me always misread the MH to be MarsHydro, haha,

Thank you.
Unfortunately for my country, they are not cheap and accessible.

Totally understand, which country you are in, Sounth Africa, South America? These places are always expensive due to the expensive shipping and custom tax.

I should not give the correct location but I will say I'm at Center of the world but still far away from humanity.
For countries like us that don't use dollar and euro or do not have Oil reserves, you'll always be expensive. This is a gift that I will never understand and accept.
Thank you for your interest.

Ok now I will be notified if this gets updated and we can chat here.

Clones are looks good so I just changed lights to HPS at day 75.
Also I feed them 7lt water with 160ml grow,micro,bloom mix.
I decide to follow @VilliageIdiot way and overfeed them until I see some nitro burnt.
This week I'm starting to give Big-Bud, but also I'm thinking to add worm fertilizer for to be more organic.

I found some unknown strain seeds and 9 of them 3 weeks old now. I'm holding them under HPS light beacuse my veg room not ready yet. Also I don't know genetics so I don't care too much. I'm sure atleast half ot them will be male so I will breed some seed maybe.

Another problem is still I dont have in-line & exhaust fans so when I enter the room the smell holding all over me even after few hours everyone can understand what is this smell.
At my previous grow I wasn't have fresh air circulation again and because of that I could smell it while smoking.
I handle it with opening doors and windows for now. They're expensive and I'm not able to buy until new year...

After 1 week clones are ready for transplant. As you can see in picture roots passed out of pot cups.
But I'm not ready for transplant because my VEG room not ready and I dont have lights...
Tomorrow I'm gonna split room and buy temporary 600W balast and transplant them.

Really things are going badly than I thought and I can't get the necessary equipment.
So far my led system and fans should have been ready but still I can't buy until next month.

2x HLG 550 V2 too expensive for me its almost 2K$

Because of that I'm thinking to make DIY set with Atreum 288.2. Its using LM301B and way cheaper.
10x Atreum 288.2 LED Board = $600 + 5x Meanwell HLG-240H-54 LED Driver, 240W $350
Total $950

HLG 550 have 1152 led but with this setup I will have 2880led in my garden.
I'm thinking to use 4 of them in my VEG room and 6 in bloom room.

What do yo think?

Sometimes a day starts with bad things. And other bad issues follows them. Today started like that...
But also sometimes the worst day can be perfect even more then you want! Today is the one of them!
When I go to buy ballast and reflector I found used "only 2-3 month" equipment and I buyed them for $50...

I have very good news... My clones are all okay!!!



I cannot believe all of them alive and have taken such good roots...
If you are a beginner who reads this and you can not succeed with cloning, you are the only criminal here.



I have transplanted them to bigger pots. But I wasn't have enough pots for all of them also I dont need too. I was thinking to have 9 pot in my area but I could not bear to kill them. . Because of this I've got four and three plants in the big pots. Maybe I will make them clone mothers because @VilliageIdiot 's idea is awesome. I will take big clones and take them to flower area after transplant them. This will save my area and so much time.



Also Finally I finished my veg room and I'm so exhausted but very happy.
It's not over yet! Just 2 more step to finish line.
1- This weekend I'm going to buy 2x fan. 360m3 for output and 580m3 for input.
2- I will switch HID's to Arteum 288.2 DIY led setup. 2 months later.



Do you remember the unknown 9 seed? I got 3 male from them.
It's just like I thought, and one of the male I planted in the same pot with a girl...
So I'm just taking the pot another area to breed them. The problem is I dont have the isolated area "yet".
I will buy 2 CFL 3000K and put them to another room.

Can you look at this photo and tell me how long does it take to pollinate after entering a flower stage?
I realized I had no idea about male plants.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some insect problems started. I saw bites on some leaves but I couldn't see the criminal. I ordered some sticky yellow paper. I dont want to use chemical on my plants. What is your suggest?

 

[Papageno]

That will polinate soon. You should cut most of it off and bag one or 2 branches.

Bag? How?

 

[Papageno]

I use sandwich bags and twist ties but zip locks work as well.

First strip it down to just a few nodes and remove the strip and other off that are not bagged.

Dry out the plant. Don't seal the bag completely to let the water out from transpiration.

Wow. Thats good. I will do this, thank you!
So when do I need to get into a different room with a female?
If I do this in same room then pollens can jump to others. Are you do this in a different way?
Maybe we will pollen a female with our hands then bag them too?
Do they give seed from only pollinated area or can use the pollen all of it?

 

[Papageno]

No...the whole point of the pictures show how to do this so you have 1 room.

The pictures show a plant that has been 90% removed from pruning. All of the polenta sites removed except a few. The few left are in bags that prevent spreading. So you dry out the Male, put him in the cornner of the bloom tent. Qhen the pollen sacks open yoh remove the stem and take it from the room still bagged.

 

[Papageno]

You leave the fan leaves and remove all the branches and pollen sites except the ones you bag. Check daily and scar up pollen sites to prevent new sacs.

Day 96 and I have some issue on all over the lower leafs.



It seems very serious. I was giving "grow,bloom,micro" spray to the leafs maybe its the problem what do you think?

 

[morphin]

I have read some spider and thrips issues and after checking under leafs I saw these tiny white f.ckng monsters...
I think this is the problem...
I will buy something tomorrow.

 

[Papageno]

Good job on identification!

 

[morphin]

Day 100.
Bug problem gone but I have some burnt because of the pesticide. I think I used too much.
I think they just need some time for recover.

Happy new year folks.
