NoobyMacDooby's Grow: Less Nooby More Dooby!

[NoobyMacDooby]

This is where I feel the little shit's just take their sweet ass time to get going. Recon they should really kick into gear in the next week or 2. Try get that wet / dry cycle going, I found they really shoot when searching for water

To be honest I've fed it bugger all. It gets water and maybe some lab / humic acid or kelp if I'm making a spray for the outside garden. And yes the 1st 2 weeks of flower feels like a month.. then check other peoples journals and they seem to be harvesting every 2nd week.

Look good let’s hope the defol lets enough light in

At 15w I'm pretty doubtful and this is a 4000k light so if the tester shows as a lady I'l whip out the real lights for flowering. I'm mostly interested to test my sealing of the room. With so many "backyard" grows the air must be saturated with pollen around here. The sativa I showed you of my buddies is about 6 blocks away from my house and he has yet to do an outside grow and not get pollinated.

Time to throw a community street party to draw out those buggers growing their own. All we need now is for something we are able to spray on our plants to ensure they do not get pollinated, there may be something out there but I haven't looked.

Was wondering if you could just hose the buds down regularly, as water is suppose to kill the pollen. I went to a car spares place and bought a car pollen filter. They call them cabin filters and its about 30 x 20cm so it can fit over a decent sized vent.

If they legalize personal grows then I'd most likely build a small greenhouse and grow in there....but even that's doubtfull...the wife has the garden packed with plants so no space for me...

Spray with water would be your best bet

Ok so good news, bad news time:

Good news, the dwc seedlings are great.....bad news the dwc seedling are doing great....wait what? Yeah they're doing so well I grossly underestimated the root growth and now I stuck in a corner as I can't easily put these in bigger net pots....poops

the roots:

Might just have to be brave and perform some surgery on the little pots.....

 

[Pennywise]

Just trim as little as possible

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

Just trim as little as possible

Yeah just spent 30 minutes sweating while I cut the bottoms out....worked pretty well, only lost 2 small bits of root

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

ok so trimmed off the net pots:

plants looking happy:

and extra shot of the Cuvee that is growing really well:

Good work, they will love you for it.

Grow update:

RDWC seedlings looking super happy:

Cuvee, some seedlings just don't seem to want to get going. Not sure if I messed up the microbes in the soil as some are a bit yellow and really shouldn't be. Tried a LAb watering and some worm tea on another watering in hopes of helping the microbes but doesn't seem to be doing much.

Some just arent performing.

Then the tester, luckily I put a light sensor in the room to show when the lights are on/off as the timer switch wasn't working properly for 2 days. Slightly confused plants now...

 

[Pennywise]

They will get situated quickly.

 

[NoobyMacDooby]

They will get situated quickly.

Sadly a cuvee and 2 loco cookies are on 3 weeks and looking small and sad. They may just be runts with my luck. Hopefully as the grows get done I'l get better at raising the plants more evenly. Or learning to clone and running batches that will be the same. SO much to learn and grow

You have a lifetime to gain knowledge, just making it to harvest will be a huge boost to your psych.

Well I'm hitting my 40s soon, late bloomer so to speak, maybe not a full lifetime but a good couple of years!

As long as you're alive you're learning!

I have a few cuvee runts but non yellowing up on me. Let the pots dry a bit then feed plain water .. Dee of it helps
