MsBadger's First Grow

[MsBadger]

I am growing in a tent 2x4 and 60 inches tall.

Grow medium/ Espoma organic soil and using Buffaloom fertilizer.

Lighting/ 3 45 watt CFLS, 4 ft Leapstart grow bulb (from tomato time), and one Advanced 100 watt LED

The big plant is a feminized Heavyweight Fruit punch (mostly Sativa) planted Nov 17th.
2nd plant is feminized Auto Vision Super Skunk (mostly Indica) planted Nov 23rd. Does not seem to be growing.
3rd plant is feminized Auto Kannabia Gnomo planted 12/07.

Any suggestions ?



I know my sig is incorrect, still trying to fix it.

Hello Ms Badger

Your sig link works

If you go in and edit it again,

click anywhere in the link and write your title or whatever,

then delete the rest of the link.

Make sure what you write has a line under it

It should look like this :

Oh as soon as you can get your Auto's into their final pots. Auto's dont like stunting (re potting lots) they need the tap root to go down without barrier as they are on a clock so let em grow free below ground. Just my humble opinion, but done a fare few auto's in past.
Your big girl look lush!

Well because of this wonderful site I have discovered Sierra Natural Science SNS-217 for what I believe may be early spider mites.

Thanks !!!

 

[Light Addict]

Yep get them good and early. SNS are a great sponsor, Ive used some of their range and loved it. Been lucky though and never needed to use my bug killing stuff from them. (Yet) lol

 

[MsBadger]

Thanks Light Addict and Sweetleaf. I am trying to upload new pictures but I am doing something wrong. Do you need to create a new thread for new pictures ? I upload the pictures and promptly lose them.

 

[MsBadger]

OK not pretty but I figured it out. The Fruit Punch is getting bigger, and I have transplanted the others. I am waiting for different staps so I can use my LED light.

 

[MsBadger]

I also forgot to mention that my fruit punch should be ready in two weeks to start flowering. Is there any way to tell when you should start the flowering light cycle, and would the best bet be 12 on and 12 off ?

 

[Light Addict]

Your big girl is ready whenever, to go into flower. Photo strains can be flowered straight off if needed lol (not a good idea though unless space is an issue.) Shes nice and mature, so having had a nice veg period you should do really well off her
12/12 is the easiest and most widely used flower regime, so all good!

 

[MsBadger]

I am about ready to start blooming the big girl. I also am using an Advanced Diamond series 100 watt LED about 21 inches from the big girl, any thoughts ?

I also seem to be having a little problem with two of the little girls. When I planted them I had bought peat moss instead of soil so I was forced to use a half of bag of peat moss mixed with the soil. I also added about 2 inches of worm castings. I believe I may have a magnesium problem ?

Thanks Light Addict ! I don't know if you use LED or not ?

 

[MsBadger]

new home for the big girl. I had to move her to a closet and I now have her under the LED.

 

[Light Addict]

Looking good Keep up the good work!!!

 

[MsBadger]

Well my big girl came out of the closet for the day. I needed to get a better look at her. My little guys are growing a lot better since I started giving them 6 hours of rest from the lights.

Big girl

and the little guys pictures are coming as soon as I wake them up !

Subscribed. can you post some clear photographs of the leaf damage you are speaking about being possibly a magnesium deficiency?

I am working on it, bringing hopefully better picture taker aka (photographer)

 

[MsBadger]

Anybody from Colorado out there ? I had read someone who blogged about what shops were good and those that were not ? I am looking for same info. I could not find the thread.

I hope this are better photos. It starts with brown spots, the leaf starts to yellow around the spots, and than the leaf dies. I am using SNS for mites, but I have not seen any mites since using SNS.

What brand of nutrients are you using and how many millilitres per gallon? What are you adjusting your pH to? Have you tried to measure the pH of the first runoff when you water? I do not agree that your deficiency is a magnesium deficiency, your leaf damage presents itself like a potassium deficiency.

I am using FF Grow Big, I also have FF Tiger Bloom. I have planted in a pot with no holes so I cannot check runoff, but do have stones in the bottom of pot for drainage. I have been feeding three teaspoons per gallon of water. I am also going to look for FF Big bloom, which I read you suggested on Deenise's thread. Does the molasses need to be black strap ? . I also added about two cups of sphagnum moss to try and lower my PH. My PH is at 7. If you could give me direction from here, would be mighty happy. Thanks for responding.
