My 1st Grow

[rillos]

This is my first grow. Both plants are white widow from nirvana. They both were started from seeds then were placed under 125w CFL lights. They are now under 400w mh using organic soil and nutes from a tomato farmer down the road. They are now 4 1/2 weeks and are just as fat around as they are tall. I want to SCROG to maximum yield but they are only 6 inches after all this time, hmmmmm to far in this to get scared now.

Rillos,

Subbed. Glad you started a Journal. I'm a New Grower also.

What type of material are you using to reflect the light back onto the plants? It's hard for me to tell. I see your temps range from 81 to 93 degrees. You might want to try and bring it down into the mid 70's or low 80's. The humidity looks a little low for Veg. Place a small bucket of water around your plants to up your humidity. If it gets between 50 & 70 that would be great!

Do you know how much N-P-K are in your Ferts?

Good Luck & I hope you get a nice yield!

I lined my closet with emergency blanket from walmart. I know my temps got up but the mother-in-law wanted to come down to the basement so I had to close up my ventilation and close my drapes over my plants. I just put a cup of water in there thanks for that. As far as nutes go I'm unsure of the NPK but if you saw this man's tomato farm I don't think you would be worried, I'm gonna follow his feeding program.

Cool, just a tip, some tomato fertilizers don't have the Macros that cannabis requires, but if they are in there, I'm sure you'll be fine!

I'll be following.

Had some extra CFL lights 26w 2700k so i put 3 as close as i could to try and get more of a full spectrum with my 400mh.

Looking Good!

Great Job! Seems to be coming along

I just started running an indoor and an outdoor grow simultaneously. The Outdoor ones in the greenhouse will only begetting water and tomato fert. Will be interesting to see the difference between chemical nutes and cheap universal/ tomato fertiliser

The man I'm getting soil and nutes from is strictly organic.

Well I went and did the big flip today. I've been doing some LST on them but due to height restrictions went ahead and flipped. When should I stop LST and let her go?????

400w HPS plus a few CFL 26w 6500k

 

[Buddy Ebsen]

Keep the LST going throughout the Veg and the beginning of the Flower cycle.

Beautiful start . They look very healthy so it must be love in those nutes! Also I agree with SABO on when to stop the lst. I usually stop around week three or four depending on strain and rate of bud production. Keep it up bud your doing very well!

Ok 2 days after going to 12/12, I really see something happening. I don't care what you say about me yea I feel like a kid at christmas. The wait is killing me. But nothing good is rushed.

Oh by the way if you look on the 2nd pic that my plastic ty wrap is not hooked to the pot beside the temp meter. I broke that branch yesterday so i put a small band aid on her.

That's exactly the right attitude! Don't rush them! Christmas will come to those who are good!

They are starting to get bigger. They are using more energy, so check to make sure they get enough water & gradually step up the nutes!

Great Job!

I just ordered some fox farm trio nutes. They haven't been fed in 3 days and I wanna use them flowering schedule. Heard so much about them you know.

 

[Buddy Ebsen]

I hear you, just be careful with the nutes. A little less is far better than more.

A few pics after trimmed and water the ladies PH was right ar 6.6 and what came out the bottom of pot was 6.5 on the bigger plant and 6.4 on the smaller lady.

I got top and side views for you to see how compact they are.
