Silver Fox First Grow: Organic, LST, Bubblelicious

[Silverfox125]

Here are my latest pics. Day 17 from planting seed into dirt. I plan to transplant into my organic soil mix at day 30. I bent the main stem a bit more today to allow light to the newly growing leaves.

Thanks to everybody following. Carestaker I really appreciate all the help thus far

Hey silver, thanks for the help! looking great man, really dense already, can't wait to see it branch out!

 

[Silverfox125]

Low stress training has been a fun battle trying to get the max light to all the off shoots. I'm really starting to notice the lower ones catching up.

Also when you top the plants, the growth increases in the lower limbs. Looking really good.

 

[Silverfox125]

I think I'm going to top the two Freebie seeds from nirvana. That way I can get a feel for it with out the stress of screwing up the bubbleliscious

 

[Heirloom]

You could use the opportunity and learn more than topping. You could try topping one and super cropping the other.


Looks good Silverfox125!

Well it's been 3 weeks since I put the germinated seed into soil. I've been having a great time with you guys so far ! My original plan was to veg 5 weeks transplanting to final pot at 4 weeks. What do you guys think. Is 5 weeks ok or should I go longer? I do know I need to wait for alternating nodes and preflowers. I do have a secret desire to have the harvest cured by Christmas but I think I have about a month to play with since I want to cure them nice and slow.

hey silver, from what i have read a 3-5 weeks is a great time to veg plants. im going way longer only because i only had one seed to start with, so i wanted my moneys worth from the plants haha, but everywhere i have read says in general, its best to have a few small plants on short veg than one big one on long veg. just get more over a long period of time that way

 

[Silverfox125]

Thanks frost. You're actual half my reason for this post. You're veg time has proven its worth I just fear if I did that with 4 My light might not be enough lol.

Anybody that hasn't should check out frost's grow linked in his signature. My fellow first time grower is doing amazing with cfl's and lst'd his plant into a major bush.

 

[Frostbourne]

your girls are doing great man really really healthy looking, and i can't wait to see how they are in a few weeks!

 

[Cruizer]

I've learned the longer you veg the less they stretch in flower. I have plants that vegged for 4 months and they didn't stretch hardly at all. The more you know!

Sounds like a good plan, 5 weeks with the re-pot at 4.

hey silverfox looking NICE bro !
veg time is totally a personal preference , do you want a large plant with tons of buds all over or you want to keep them compact and small like mine ?

from all my reads the general rule of thumb is expect them to finish 3x bigger than when you put them into flower.

on my next one im gonna try at least 6 weeks veg with SCROG setup.

whatever you are doing now it seems to be letting them flourish .
cheers pal !

 

[Silverfox125]

Thanks everybody for all the information received. I appreciate all the help thus far. I think I'll go 5-6 weeks and then start to flower.

 

[Silverfox125]

Hope everybody is doing well. I really have enjoyed the responses and advice so far.

Here are a couple of the latest pics. I'm having trouble uploading more than one pic at a time from my iPhone can anybody help. I select 3 pics but it only does the last one I chose.

The close up pic I'm trying to show what may be preflowers. Or just wishful thinking lol.

 

[Frostbourne]

wow man, yea those look like preflowers to me too. thats pretty early! girls are looking awesome, and obviously healthy

 

[Silverfox125]

Hey guys noticed some yellowing leaves this morning. I'm going to transplant a day early and hope the organic super soil fixes the problem.

Wish me luck.

 

[Silverfox125]

Successfully transplanted the two bubbleliscious and will do the freebie from nirvana tonight and post pics

 

[Silverfox125]

Here are some pictures of the transplant. The pro mix soil in the picture of the root ball is just what I used on the freebie since I did not have enough of my soil mix. Next time I'll know how much I need and will start that batch of soil soon.

 

[CareStaker]

I would definitely let them go 6 weeks Veg, with a transplant to final pot at 5 wks. Looking good, but watch that yellowing.

 

[Silverfox125]

I just transplanted due to the yellowing leaves I wanted to get them into the organic soil asap. glad to hear about the 6 week veg idea I had been leaning that way . Patience is something I'm working on lol. Thanks for the advice. Do you think the yellowing was because I had not fed them? I was trying to hold off but gave them light nutes with transplant.
