I'm currently growing 11 NLX plants (8 outdoor / 3 indoor) which is a clone only and mostly indica strain.
My outdoor plants are already vegging for about 6 weeks, so I'm not going to cover their progress as often because they're already pretty far ahead. But I'll try to give weekly updates on their progress when they start to flower.
(my tent setup)
Clone #2 (sorry for the crappy side photo, I had a hard time focusing on her)
Clone #3
Clone #4 (my favorite so far)
As you can see, my three indoor plants are quite small and have only been vegging for 1 week. I haven't decided on what to call them yet so I've just simply labeled them 2, 3 & 4. They're rooted in an 130L (roughly 35 gallon) tub from the Ikea with 2 large air stones. There used to be 4 (RIP clone #1 ) but one of the plants didn't take to the DWC well and died after about 2 days. The other 3 seem to be growing fine, however, #2 also had some problems on the beginning and was slow in starting and also stretched a bit further than the other two due to the issues with #1. They seem to be doing fine but are showing signs of stress on their stems, but I'm not sure from what just yet.
The temps in my space average 26-29C and the humidity around 40-45%. I'm using Startbooster from Aptus & Hydro A&B from Hy-Pro. I currently have them under two 75w t5 duo banks from the Tneon series (Secret Jardin) on a 24/0 cycle. I haven't seen many people growing with these so I'm quite curious as to how they'll do. My res PH is 6.7 and my EC reads 1.6. I know my PH is high (it rose yesterday) but I don't have anything to lower it with at the moment. I've heard lemon juice, so perhaps I'll try that.
My IKEA tote DWC is hopefully completely light proof but I should really insulate it better just to be sure. I'm really worried about root rot as the roots are already have a bit of a brown film but that might also be the nutes I'm using because the startbooster is VERY dark and as soon as I poured it in, the water turned dark brown. I also forgot to drill a drain hole so I'm going to have to figure out a way to dump this thing pretty soon haha Any ideas would be appreciated.
So far, these lights appear to be doing a pretty good job. Except for #2, which stretched a bit when I had to pull the light further away from #1 for a couple days, the nodes seem pretty tightly packed on the stem. Right now they seem adequate but I'd like to see how they do during flower. I have a 400w HPS standing by just incase
On to my outdoor plants...
So these ladies have had a pretty rough life so far. They were all planted in one container and left for 2-3 weeks before they came to me. So they were already getting rather tangled together when I had to seperate and transplant them. They first went into 11L pots and from there into the ground. They've been infested with aphids, ravaged by slugs/snails, been made into nests by spiders and have been attacked by powdery mildew. But I will say, they're some resiliant little buggers cause they keep on goin. They're obviously a bit stunted due to their rough younger days but with most of their issues gone, I hope they'll grow nice and big and produce many happy buds for me to roll. ;D
Our summer this year has been rather wet. I've been watering them only once a week to give them nutes because its been raining every day. Yesterday I removed most of their fan leaves... I wasn't sure if this was a good move but I was advised to by another grower so I figured I'd try it. They've managed to survive all of the other things I've done to them so far, so I was curious as to whether it would make a difference or not. I'm hoping it will help them get bushier like he said they would.
(it's raining right now so I'll only post the pre-pruning photos I have on me)
My entire outside garden
Plant directly in the middle of the crop. It seems to be the biggest and most robust so far.
I have 4 planted in this spot (back left) because they were impossible to remove from each other in time
Well, that's it! This is my first grow so I'm curious as to how each of the plants will turn out. I'll try to update this journal pretty regularly so feel free to jump on in and say whatever. I'm just trying to get through this grow and learn from all of my mistakes and see what works and what doesn't. I don't to know much about growing but I'm always happy to learn from and share with others.
Cheers! Thanks for reading!
