Hey all, first attempt ever at growing. (Any plant really for that matter) Did my research beforehand and I can say everything is going rather well! Have had a few bumps along the way but so far so good in the grand scheme.
So the details -
OG Kush (7 Plants) Did not intend to do a sea of green but what the heck did I expect to happen with 7 plants??? Woops. Oh well SOG it is. Experimented with FIM'ing 3 of the 7. In hind sight I wish I had FIM'd all 7, but oh well, next time. NO LST or supercropping this go around.
Currently at week 2 of flower.
Was given the clones and they had a rough early life. Hanging out on my buddies kitchen table for a week, light schedule all wonky. That's when I decided to take the plunge and order all the gear. (Wow, and now I'm currently looking into even more gear, hahahaha)
Indoor grown in a 4x4x7 Tent
Soil grow using Promix potting soil. Next time I think I will go with sunshine number 4. Would much rather have no pre existing "time release" nutes in my soil! I like to know exactly what I'm giving them and not have to guess at what is already in the soil. They're in 3 gallon pots.
Running one single Mars Hydro classic 600W. Debating adding another now that I see how huge these girls have gotten. Debated HPS but feel as though heat would give me trouble.
Fan cooled pulling through a carbon filter. (Not that I need any cooling really the fan is more for humidity, which I am currently struggling with)
Temp at lights off - Right around 70F
Lights on - Right around 75 - 78F
RH around 70 average. MY monitor says low of 57 high of 82 over the last 36 hours. But every time I check its right around 70 - 72. Was great for veg but I am really have a time trying to lower it for flower. Looking at investing in a dehumidifier. (Ugh, even more gear???? What have I gotten myself into lol)
PH right around 6.5 My water is very hard here and halfway through veg they were showing stress. I have since started using RO water, and adding CalMag supplement.
Using the FoxFarms trio of nutes. I started out looking at all sorts of feeding guides but tbh I've ended up just keeping my own log and feeding based on how I see the plants reacting. Made my own feeding guide so to speak.
DAY 1
NUTES (Not pictured is CalMag)
Showing some growth, can't recall when these pics were taken. Week or 2 into veg?
The day I setup the new fan and filter. Plants looking big already.
All the girls out for a close inspection pulled any dead leaves, watered, etc. Starting to look rather large! They were in flower in this photo btw, not still vegging these monsters lol
1 week into flower!
They're now 2 weeks into flower and showing buds. They could really use another LED panel I think. ALSO, defoliating???? How much, and when? Tent is crowded enough as is already. The girls could stand to lose some leaves I'm sure. Don't want to shock them, I'm thinking just a few every day can come off. I dunno? Could use some help with that part if anyone has any recommendations.
Let me know what you all think and thanks for checking out my grow!
