TLSF's 1st Grow - Soil & Hempy - CFL - 2014

re: TLSF's 1st Grow - Soil & Hempy - CFL - 2014

PERSONALLY I like the idea of a 3 to one ratio in flowering, mostly the 2700k but with one third 6500k as well. Umm, I have HEARD that it is good to have the 2700k in your veg tent as well, but have also heard it makes them try to stretch the internode spacing.... Up to you friend. But def mix it in your flowering room, that bit has been proven.

Thanks for the info again! I will make sure I get some in the flowering room ASAP. I think I'll just do it for the flower.

F#$@ I just burnt out the new adapter I ordered, I thought 5A would do the trick, lasted a good 2 hrs. Anyone know how I can power two 2.49A PC Fans? Anyone with electrical knowledge please help.

when i wanted to power my computer fans, I just took an old phone charger and cut the wires, then tied the positives and negatives together and it works great >.> all I needed was the phone charger and electrical tape in addition to the computer fan. cheap easy way I took care of a problem with the things I had in the house.

That worked great for the weaker fan I broke. It was easy finding a adapter with less than 1A. But finding one with 3A or more is frustrating me. I hooked up both of em to the 5A. I think I'll just order two more of the same adapter and just hook one to each. Kinda banging my head on the table for not doing that before. When trying to be cheap backfires and end up overbuying sucks

Hi TL,

Your girls are looking good ATL Hempy recovered. Skinny leaves! She looks SATIVA!!! I see u did some research on your nutes! I'm really interested in how your girls respond. Keep documenting I did some research on clones and learned that they take up to 4 weeks to get going. I have 2 clones under 12/12 CFL ( I lack your impressive technical skills). My clones seem healthy. I'm trying to wait until I see new growth before I feed them. I'm feeding my older girls coffee grounds and they seems to like it, the top colas are plumping up I need more space. I want to compare the yeild SOG (sea of green) produced by clones with the top colas produced by 12/12 from seed but I just don't have the space. Keep documenting.

Hey NL!



As for skills, I wouldn't go that far

I've read about coffee grounds, eggshells, and a bunch of other things that can be used to feed. It all seemed overwhelming haha! I will sit my ass down and get myself acquainted with that part of the horticultural world... ONE DAY!

I've also seen some great pics on seeds to finish in 12/12; they were lovely. Space for more plants is always a great thing

Thanks for stopping by again NL!

Update:

Soil: BD

Hempy: ANL

Hempy: BD

Togetherness

Soil:BD is doing good, there are some stuff going on on some of the leaves, but doesn't look bad overall, so I'm just leaving her alone.

The Hempy:ANL has officially bounced back. The first pic is her backside, there's a twin top going on. The second pic is front view of her. Third pic is the middle top that I topped two days ago. Last pic is her front view again, I wanted to showcase where the 'old' growth was, where she was getting only around 400-600ppms of nutes. The new growth starts right where the droopy fan leaves are, when I started giving her 900-1100ppms of nutes. Would have never thought I was underfeeding, thanks for the tip NL .

Side question: For hempies, when I flush do I feed the same day?
I ask because when I flushed the hempy ANL she felt soft to the touch later that day. Had a hungry droop to her, ended up feeding her the same day I flushed. And she went back to being perky.

No real update on the Hempy:BD, shes getting a bit big, that's about it.

Might feed the hempies tomorrow or Wednesday. The Soil seems good for another... long time. I'm afraid I transplanted her into the 5gal a bit late. Any thoughts?

Cab update:

I finally got the fans up and running, I ordered two more 5amp adapters and separated them this time. Working great. The fans are able to exchange the air enough, that the temp in the cab is the room temp. Now I have a new temp problem: it gets cold in the cab, around 64-68F in both sides!

I also got some grills for the fans, I'm not ready to lose a finger or another fan! fucked one of my fingers just from the 90 CFM one, don't wanna take any chances with these monsters!

But with the new temp problems comes great news! The PC fans are able to keep the cab cool enough that I can switch out the big ass fans and get like small fans to give the canopy moving. MEANS! More space for plants

Funny sidenote: There are two fans in the veg side. The new 240 CFM one and the old puny 20CFM fan. I was too lazy to take out the small one, so I drilled a new hole for the 240 fan. Now when the cab doors are closed, the 240 fan causes so much pressure that it forces the 20 CFM fan to spin counterclockwise! or just stop completely!

I also finally got some 6500k in the flower side. Just took two from the veg side haha. I feel like its brighter and I like it. I tried putting one 2700k in the veg side, didnt really like it, took it out.

Thank you, come again.

Now if smell is a problem you have the power to use a homemade mini carbon scrubber great cabinet though I am setting one up for a friend and I will be stealing some ideas.

Your girls are looking good! Indeed you have some impressive technical skills. https://www.420magazine.com/community/styles/420style/smilies/adore.gif

The new nutes are working!!! I see new growth and bud formation. Fasten your seat belts folks these girls are taking off!!!!

I hope your friends cab comes out nice, goodluck!

There hasn't been a problem with smell; I have some Ona Gel waiting if it becomes a problem. Hopefully won't need a carbon, but thanks for pointing that out.

I took the fan out of the veg side, possible more room for plants, or I can run a scrog net! And when I close the cab, the PC fan causes enough pressure that the intake air is able to cause canopy movement.

re: TLSF's 1st Grow - Soil & Hempy - CFL - 2014

Hey

I have some good/bad news.

The bad news: these beauties will now be under the care of my father cause I'll be traveling to another country for studies. I'll try to keep a picture update though.

On a more positive note, these beauties are growing on me! and fast! I honestly had more to say, but you know how it is, .

With that said pics:

Soil: BD 4 Weeks flowering

This was taken a few days ago, I'll get a more recent pic, when the lights come on.

Hempy: ANL 6weeks and some change veg.

Pic taken after pruning.. I couldn't stop myself. 24hrs ago.

Pics taken today after I did more training.

Hempy BD

I was sure there was more pics but I've seemed to misplace or not get the right ones off my phone.

Thanks anyway.

re: TLSF's 1st Grow - Soil & Hempy - CFL - 2014

Hello

So it'll be my last update cause I'll be leaving for the Philippines tomorrow. And leaving these beautiful girls in the care of my father.

Soil:BD Day 32 Flower

Hempy:ANL 6th week veg.

this photo was taken 2 days ago.

Hempy:BD 4th week yesterday in Veg. This girl was also transplanted in a 3.5 gal bucket with pure perlite.

Togetherness

====

I've moved the lights all the way up. I'm scared the ANL will reach it before she gets into flowering. I've been watering ANL everyday for the past 4 days cause shes always dry by the end of the day. I try to let her air out but she always feel soft and hungry if I wait til the next day to do the watering. ANL is just To think I almost killed her . I was at first gonna transplant the ANL because I wanted her to get bigger but she was so in-tuned and LST'd to the 1Gal bucket and she'll be jumping into flower soon, I said heck let's just do BD. So I expect the BD to blow up after I leave. I'm just worried ANL outgrew the 1Gal and shes drinking up the 1/2 liter res that's at the bottom in one day.

====

Since thesee are going to the care of my father I told him to water the hempies every 2 days. And I'll try to keep a weekly pic update just for the sake of the journal. And I've enjoyed sharing my enthusiasm for our fave plant, so be on the look out for TLSF's 1-2plant CPU Case Micro grow haha. Since our plant doesnt have a great standing in the Philippines.

There I go rambling again, it's been a joy

I'll be back

Hey

It's been a week or so, since I've left my girls in the care of my Father and here's a few picture updates. He's been the hempy girls everyday at 800ppms of nutes. The girl in the flower is getting watered once a week and shes in her flushing period; 2-3 weeks til' harvest, dry, and cure.

Pictures are very unorganized.

The Hempy: ANL

The Hempy: BD (this one got transplanted into a 3.5 gal bucket before I left.)

re: TLSF's 1st Grow - Soil & Hempy - CFL - 2014

Late update:

Father harvested the soil BD on the 14th.

The hempy ANL is really lengthy and I had him try his hand at training the plant cause it's touching the lights but he has a lot of side space. Random order of pics.

Random shots of the hempy BD

Those clones have serious DNA. What effects did the buds produce?
