UltraDan's First Grow - White Widow - Flux - 2015

[Scarfinger68]

So it took a little longer than I originally thought, but I finally got seeds into peet pellets last night. My lighting finally came in and I was able to finish up the grow room. Here is a pic

I do have a question for anyone who wants to stop by and chime in. My grow room is about 4 feet high, will this be an issue when it comes time to flower? I know I will need to FIM and LST, but is 4 feet to low when it comes to using MH/HPS lighting? Thanks!

That light looks like an alien space ship over that small life form I like that cool tube. Right now I am thinking I should of got a cool tube. Hopefully my reflector works when I get it and I can stop feeling this way.

I have grown with a (3 foot gross) 2 foot high net grow space once you take into consideration the pot size and light spacing.

Off to peruse the rest of your journal

Welcome brother! That cool tune is now hooked up to an inline fan and a carbon filter, but at least my girl is bigger now. Lol. A lot of people have mixed feelings about cool tubes, but I really like it. To me, the only thing better is LED

After scouring online insect and beetle database's I believe it to be a Varied Carpet Beetle. Seems harmless to cannabis plants.

I get these in my veg room. never had a problem from them.

Yeah it was 1 teaspoon per five gallons of Cha ching . I actually used 2 teaspoons per five gallons of beastie bloomz. 1/4 cup big bloom and 1/4 cup tiger bloom per five gallons. Would water every other time with that.

The last feeding it says I was giving them 2.5 teaspoons of Cha ching and 2 teaspoons of beastie bloomz. Also the 1/4 cup of tiger and 1/4 cup of big bloom. That's all per five gallons. I'd flush 12 days with regular feedings of ph balanced water

It worked for me for years.

Ya doing just fine to be honest & looking rather good


As you have gained the attention of another great grower beyond my own skills i shall look forwards to learning new tricks from your first journal here at

Same here. I see them wander in every now and then. I believe they're attracted to the light, heat, or both. I sometimes find them on the leaves. The only danger I can think of, is one getting stuck to trichomes in flower, and you end up smoking it. Blech. But no plant damage or anything that I've ever seen.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! And Happy Mothers Day to all the momma's!!!

I'm jealous, we are having cold and snow here in the Rockies.

1tsp! Really? It only calls for 1/4 tspn on FF chart in soil.

I use 1 tsp as well per gal of water. If you look on the back of the bottles, it says 1 tsp for standalone, or 1/4 tsp if you use with other nutes.

Jesus Dan! Be careful! Some DEA guy will try to ID you with your toes!

Glad to see the day being enjoyed. We had similar weather up here.

 

[Dan Ultra]

We are at Day 36 since 12/12 and 33 since Pistils

Trichomes are already starting to show cloudy, seems a little early to me, but I guess it's not such a bad thing

 

[db003]

So our power just went out. Should be corrected within the hour. Lights were on for about an hour, so hopefully it doesn't eff anything up. Snapped a few pics with the HPS off.

I was just telling my wife that it looks completely different when she's not lit up by the HPS. You can really see the development a lot more in natural lighting.

I place my microscope on top of a few stack shoe boxes to keep it from moving, then turn all the fans off so the lady stays still. It still takes a while to get a decent, non blurry shot though.

Amazing how different she looks in the natural lighting. Love it.

That's a great idea. Ill have to get something to rest my scope on. "turn fans off"...why didn't I think of that haha
