Newbie Grow

[mikeyxb]

Thanks for the advice tomula but I think I'm going to skip the topping this time around as the burn would have caused a little stress and don't want to stunt it any more so I'm just going to do some bending to get light to the new growth nodes to create some new colas.
I have a water testing kit from when I kept fish for the ph and at the moment it seems with the way I'm doing it atm ph is perfect lol so struck lucky I'm getting 7 on the way in and 6.8 on the way out

Okay so had a few problems the last few days with transporting to tent in loft dealing with heat so switched to lights on at night and off in the day which works for me with work anyway, bottom leaves have started dying due to over watering I think so have now changed watering schedule (lesson learned) this is my first grow and I have learned so much in the few weeks,

Added large cfls 2 x 125w 1 red 1 blue very powerful xbox 360 fan for vortex against my blower fan, pc fan on either end of duct for intake and 4 inch extractor fan will attach carbon when needed need air flow while still quite hot outside will be cool enough when needed.

So all in all think I covered all I wanted so here's some pics

looking good
If you look into LED light bulbs,, it pulls less power and shines more than a CFL which makes electricity cheaper in the end.

Yeah waiting for some funds to move up to led.. seem to have battled the heat for now when winter comes might even be able to hps the shit out of my plants for some yield lol but will have to make do haha

Really good, and do as AngryBirds tells, LED are more expensive when you buy them, but they save lots of kW

Hi man, she looks good, nicely trained. I suggest you pot her up as she looks pretty big for that container. More roots= more fruits! Cheers!

 

[mikeyxb]

She looks great. You can pluck the damaged leaves out so they won't attract unwanted guests lying on the soil like that. I learned the hard way to not let the leaves lie in the pot. So far so good, keep it up man!

 

[mikeyxb]

Thanks for the tip will do that later .

Looks to be progressing nicely . nice training too

If the leafs at the first/second nodes are damaged, can it be buried at that point when repotted?

I suppose I could yes then that would produce more roots?

I've never tried to do so, but if you follow the botanic standings... If the leaves are completely gone but the buds are still there, when covering them with opac objects (like burying) will turn them to grow into roots, and if not into leaves.
And about the bad leaves... It's not about removing the ones that look bad but the ones that are in contact with the soil, cause they can get mold and that might spread to the rest of the plant.
Hope I wrotte everything properly and it's useful...

 

[mikeyxb]

Thanks for the info been a great help there was just one big leaf and 2 tiny ones touching the soil so i cut them off and bent her over again...

Its really amazing how fast she is growing with this new ph perfect gmb nutes
