Second Grow: The GrowMario's

[justx]

Well, nice to meet you all, this is my second attempt at growing weed, the first one went ok, but, because I knew almost nothing at the beginning made too much mistakes with lighting, soil, ventilation, humidity, etc, even had to deal with PM, the result became very frustrating we hope to get only 120g from 7 plants, which sucks IMHO .. But now we've got ourselves a nice setup consisting in 2 closets for growing, one for Veg, and another one for Flower, we have currently around 39 new seedlings and 7 flowering sativas at the last month of flowering (those at flower will not be the subject on this topic).
We aim for a perpetual grow, trying to harvest every month, we now its gonna be hard at first but we believe to be able to handle it.

Setup

Veg Cabinet:
width 1 meter x height 1,4 meter x depth 0,6 meter;
8x36W CFL's divided in two sources with 4 lights each;
Soil: black earth with coco and some perlite;
24h light cycle

Flower Cabinet:
10x 36W CFL's (6500K) + 1x 500W mixed light (4000K)
width 1,85 meter x height 2,1 meter x depth 1 meter
Soil: will be the same, because the plants currently flowering in this closet will not be the subject to this topic;
12h/12h light cycle

Training:
Will be doing mainlining/fluxing when seedlings reach 6 nodes, along with LST, we gonna test it all!

Seeds:
Around 12+ are bag weed seeds;
Around 20 Bahia Lemon seeds that we got from the guy who plants them, great weed that we hope to clone and always have on our stash!
5x Raspberry Cough + 10 freebies that aree to arrive from Nirvana, when those arrive I think they're getting some hydro!!! (still not here, tho)

Pics from new seeds at next post!

yesterday:

today same plant:

Tomorrow I shall have more pictures to show, and to be honest I feel like they are growing great! I can see a lot of diference in only 1 day of grow so I have high hopes for these!

As you can see there are plenty of new seedlings that are smaller than others, that's because the Bahia Lemons we've got are the newest, the other ones are the others.

Keep on smoking

edit:

I'll hop on for the ride!

Thanks a lot bro! Hope you enjoy it!

Welcome, bro! I hope you do great on your own grow, if you happen to have a topic as well I would love to check it out!

Well, here we go for the pictures, not much has happened, we just have added a cooling system to our smaller closet and added few more seedlings of bahia lemon, of course we still need to separate those to individual cups but that will come in due time.
Enough already, lets go for the pictures (which are not great because I was not the one who took them, if it were me I would have taken better pictures with better angles, but what the hell huh):

Bonus pics, look at these roots, looks like things are going well around here:

See you guys next time!

Looking good. Growth is moving along very quick, nothing is stretching like crazy. Nicely done

Thank you very much!
As a newbie I'm very glad to see that more experienced users around here approve my babies! Lets hope that it stays this way.

Hi there, so its update time! Yay!

Well, things are still going very well, I'm very excited about the growth on these plants, it may look like it ain't that fast but in my perception they are growing like a weed with some extra healthy leaves! I'll not stall here for very long, today we gave a small dose of root growing nutes, it looks like they liked it very much, lets wait and see on the coming days...
Picture time!

Some pictures of the bigger plants:

And last but not least, lets have a look on the roots of some of the bigger plants:

This last one already needs a new pot! And yes, we forgot to make holes on these one, but she looks fine!

Till next time everyone, keep on smoking.

So its update day
Well, its been 5 days so we have news. On day 05/05 I topped two of my girls for experimental reasons, I wanted to check who they would react being topped with 4 nodes. Today I show the result after being topped 3 days ago, I dont have photos from day 05/05 because I forgot to take them while smoking therefore only todays pictures, well apart from that not much, today I sprayed some foliar spray half dose on the leaves of my bigger babies, its 15-0-0.. And here we go for the pictures of the healthier plants I had, I think they look awesome:

Update time. Sorry for the long pause on updates but life has been crazy.
So about the plants, we are now doing lots of training on them. Been doing some LST along with topping, also some defoliation with LST and ponytailing, this all resulted in lots of node growth that has been happening, pretty happy and probably flipping 11 days from today on the bigger one (grow #2 sign).

Hope all is well in your world.

How did this grow turn out?

We would love to be updated with some pictures and info.

How about posting a 420 Strain Review?

If you need any help with posting photos, please read our Photo Gallery Tutorial.

I am moving this to Abandoned Journals until we get updates.

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.
