Rock's first grow

[Rock1]

I started with seeds I saved from different bags i liked. First i had them in soil then i moved them into this cool cab i purchased. I don't want this grow to take too long because I have some WW seeds i want to grow, so i have already started the 12/12 cycle. I am a nube at this and would greatly appreciate the help from all of you growers.

Flowering time- 1 week (9 plants)
Lights -400w HPS
Nutrients - General Hydroponics micro/grow/bloom
My TDS meter says 500 the bottle water started out at 200
Temps- 85 on 72 off
RH-34

I don't know how to use the nutes I currently have two teaspoons of each in the tank now. Any suggestions?

Rock, Cherma here, soil grower, no hydro (YET) These are looking great green and healthy. Stix is one of our Hydro GS guys and I too am learning more of this ancient art of Hydroponics as I too, need & want to learn. Thanks for sharing your grow with us all. Good Pictures. I look forward to the views.

Wow, that's a nice jungle of roots! Lookin' good!

 

[FreakNature]

Density and health of the vegetation looks great! The roots look very healthy as well. Best wishes for many females and a bountiful harvest. Looks like you really liked the bags of indica, because all of your leaves are fat.

 

[Rock1]

Thanks for your encouragement and support. Still cant tell which ones are boys.

 

[Rock1]

Destroyed two males last night, seven left

 

[Need2FreeWeed]

[Cherma]

Sweet green Cabbage galore my good man. Get rid of those males.

 

[Rock1]

Thanks, I have one confirmed female (the largest one) and still unsure of the rest.

Help!! While changing the water last night i accidentally switched the timer to always on and my lights didn't go off. My lights normally go off at 11M I woke up at 6:AM and shut them off and turned the timer back on. I'm in week 3 of 12/12. So my question is what kind of damage have i done?

 

[Rock1]

^^Help^^

 

[shaggy_420]

well its obvious to unplug the light, if not just switch the timer back to 12/12
we dont know how long it has been on for so we dont know how loing it'll set you back
if it got more than 18 it would be revegging

 

[Stix]

I doubt you really have much to worry about. But you do want to keep a watchful eye out for possible hermaphrodites through the rest of the grow.
