BlaZin's 1st Grow

[BlaZinROC]

What up everyone! This is BlaZinROC's 1st grow. We have a 3x3x5 growbox. Using a 400 watt MH for the Veg. and plan on switching to a HPS for flowering. We are currently on day 26 and using bagsseed. The one's in the solo cups are only on day 5 and are endless sky strain. It stays a steady 74 - 80 degrees during the day. We pruned 3 yesterday and hopefully everything works out. Let us know what you think. Peace!:thumbsup:

[BlaZinROC]

By the way... we're also using foxfams ocean forest organic soil with vierra's worm castings and some perlite. We water with foxfarms grow big and advanced nutrients sensi-zyme. Do you think it is ok to mix both of these in the same gallon of water so we can use both at the same time. We have only watered with each one time. Thanks for the advice.

[MULLETMAN]

Everythings lookin really nice. The 400 will work wonders for you. Like the temps and soil you got. Keep up the good work. Any idea when your going to 12/12? Get ready, have fun.

[postmandave]

Hi blazin rock everything looks good man but can you explain.Why the pruning.be safe the postman.

[kdspecial]

be careful with that soil,,,, Its pretty high in nutrients....Its been known to burn small plants...

It looks good tho,,, I would perhaps not use any fertz in the water for a couple watering to make sure your young plants don't burn up on you..

There is enough Fertz in the soil on its own for those guys to live for a bit...

The leaf curl Down on the tips is a sign that the plant has all the food it can take I believe,

Looking good tho duder...

[BlaZinROC]

we're gonna start our 12/12 on April 23rd, thats 26 more days. Do you think that is too long to wait? Postman I'm not sure why we pruned, just an experiment pretty much. Can't wait to flower though!:D

[BlaZinROC]

Quick question, if you let plants veg long enough you are able to determine sex before you switch to the all mighty 12/12 correct? Also, can you mix two different nutrient solutions in the same gallon of water this way we can use both at the same time? Thanks for your help!

[Cornelius]

hey man i think you can use both at the same time, just mix your grow big first.

-p

[BlaZinROC]

why grow big first?

[postmandave]

yeh you can mix both in same galon just add the grow big first and mix well before adding the other.and yeh if you veg for until you see pre flower then you can determin sex before going into flower pre flower usually show after the 5th or sixth node but be carefull with the nutes let the plants tell you when they are needing fed cuase the soil you have has all the food the plant requires and the leef tip curl is telling you they have had there full. be safe the postman.

[whisky]

yes dont fert now those plants dont need anything. when plants need something you will notice it going yellow-ish or brown spots then you can be sure and start ferting first half of the real thing then gradually move up and full. yea you can see sex before flowering. dont flower too early keep us posted with pics and we can help out telling you when should be fine :).

i use cfls on my grow and dont matter when you flower plant grows a little then not much after that. with hps they double / triple size ive heard and seen from pics of other users. i would always veg to the maximum limit i have no troubles waiting and think of it its just another 1-2 weeks and you get 20% more of yield.. yummy. how many plants do you have ?

[BlaZinROC]

we have 6 from bagseed which are the ones in the pics. we also have 5 endless sky that were starting for one of our friends that he is gonna plant outdoors in a few weeks. let the advice keep comin’ peace! :hippy:

[MULLETMAN]

Keep the updates coming.

[blank_21]

take clones off the endless sky and throw those bagseed plants away. random seeds can turn out hermaphridites. Stick with name brand strains.

What u mean when you say you pruned the plant? Did you top it? Or did you just cut fan leaves off?

Plants should be at least 6 weeks old before flowering, i flowered mine on day 48 i think.

Do yourself a favour and study the Marijuana Resource - OverGrow FAQ in my signature

Peace :rastasmoke:

[Tomthehippie]

Looks good man! :D

[BlaZinROC]

blank the endless sky are going outdoors as soon as it gets a little warmer out.

[BlaZinROC]

Here's the latest from the ROC! We havent watered since we've posted last. We got some worms today, put them in the soil. I ordered a activated carbon filter off from ebay, then hopefully we can close the doors on our cab. Right now we have a 265 cfm intake fan and we just leave the doors open. We got some updated pics, and one of the bong :rastabong:
How much longer do you think these need to veg? We're thinkin like another 17 days (april 16). Anyway let me know whats up. Peace :hippy:

[whisky]

take a look at mine. there females they have hairs and wanting to flower but ill keep them veg a little longer. second photo is of the same plant undercanopy. i LSTed them and i will flower it once the sideshots are more or less the same size as the top. so itll evolve into a big beast while flowering. eighter LST and flower or wait for the plant to be big then flower and you will have bige buds.

[BlaZinROC]

yo what up. i'll post pics tomorrow, but just leaving a update. the endless sky are coming really nice, we're gonna transplant within a week. for the others, we lst'd 1, and they're coming nice. hopefully we can tell the sex soon, i'm so anxious! peace!

Hey man! looking good! if ur temps get to high u might want to change your in let fan to a out let fan its more efficient for moving air. :)

[BlaZinROC]

here's the new pics we just took. there is one of the lst that we started, some of the endless sky in the solo cups.... besides that everything seems to be going well, and they're starting to get bushy and smelly :D Let us know what you think...
peace:hippy:

How much longer till they pre-flower do you think?

[Tomthehippie]

Hey man! how much u watering them? they look slightly under watered/or over? :)

[BlaZinROC]

A bunch of the node sites are shaded by huge fan leaves. Should i leave these leaves alone till i start to flower and then hack them off so the bud sites get maximum light exposure of should i chop a few of them now to the sites develop faster and better?

[xblackdogx]

you should tie down so that the top node is at least below the 2nd node... ALL of your secondary branches will shoot up!

ALL girls love a little bondage, TRUST me

[BlaZinROC]

Care to explain this tie down?

[Tomthehippie]

dont hack anything off ever! Lol. ALL the leaves are there for a reason! If your not not experianced with growing just let it do its thing 1st time round! :D

[uzybear]

the leaves take the sunlight, and photosynthesize it. then use that energy to make bud. don't you mess with them :)

[BlaZinROC]

how can you tell the difference between under or overwatering. we use 3 gal. pots, water about a gallon and a half every 3 days for 6 kids. but they just seem droopy. btw last watering which was 3 days ago (used no ferts) but we thought we would give them 4 days to soak up. leave some advice. peace!

[BlaZinROC]

Whats up everyone! BlaZinROC is here with our latest update!:rastasmoke: Our kids are about 6 days from flowering and are gettin big. The first two pics are of the endless sky which are 18 days old. The 3 others are of the bagseed grow and are on day 40 of vegging, no signs of pre-flowering yet.


We do have a problem though. We just put in our carbon filter which has a 200 cfm fan and we have our intake fan which is a 265 cfm and we cannot contain a good temp. It gets to between 81.5 the lowest and 82 or so... we do not have a ocelating fan inside yet, or do you think we should just get a small air conditioner for the room then the intake would just pull in cool air.

We also have been watering about every 5 days. The endless a little more. We've been using about half of the dose of sensi-zyme and full dose of ff grow big. (no ferts on endless sky)

Anyway let us know what you think, I'll be around... Peace :hippy:


sorry no pics the fuckin computer has a mind of its own, maybe tomorrow!:(

[Lord Dangly Bits]

Why do you think 82 degrees is to warm? I would definiately put an ascolateing fan in there.

I wish I could keep my grow room down to no more then 82 degrees.

[BlaZinROC]

finally some pics

[faithlessxxx]

82 is fine. Telling the diff between too much water and too little is a little tricky. Initially, the leaves can show the same symptoms, groopy. Too much water though, and the leaves will start to grow brown/grey dead areas, that look a little like rot, too little water and the leaves will grow autumn brown and dry and brittle. I like to water enough so that the water is used up and the soil is dry 2 inches down within about 3 days.

[BlaZinROC]

and more...

[BlaZinROC]

Well our plants are 49 days old and lookin pretty good. We think we had a prolblem with underwatering because the bottom fan leaves werre completely wilted and were yellowing. We just watered then last night and they have deff. perked up overnight. The shoots are all growing very nicely and we plant on starting to flower them in about one week.

p.s. take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think is wrong with them!

[BlaZinROC]

This is a post for our four endless sky seeds. They are about 25 days old and we plan on letting them veg for about another week. They look good except for we think we have been underwatering them a bit. Tells us what you think!

[BlaZinROC]

Also, i was wondering if you think i should do any trimming or staking up of the bigger plants to get them right for flowering.

Heres another shot of the hurting endless sky plant.

[whisky]

i wouldnt trim them right now it would be too much stress.. just water them throughly for a few days and they should be fine. start veg nutes if you havent they look like defficient on something. check for bugs also

yea putting into flower in 1 week seems good idea. remember they will get stressed when you switch into the hps light so they will be bad a few days so you should try to get them to the best condition now so they dont suffer alot later. ( my opinion ) good luck :rasta:

[BlaZinROC]

Just a quick post...
Finally the ladies got back on a good regular watering scheduale and have picked up quite nicely. I plucked off all of the dead leaf matter and tied went around each plant tying it don nice and evenly. Finally were are going to start flowering so pray for some ladies.

Also, do hps bulbs need to be tightened more than mh or do they take time to warm up because i have a conversion light and the mh worked fine but i tried to switch the the hps bulb and it doesn't light at all. Let me know whats up please:D

[Tomthehippie]

Looking nice man! :)

[4x5]

Also, do hps bulbs need to be tightened more than mh or do they take time to warm up because i have a conversion light and the mh worked fine but i tried to switch the the hps bulb and it doesn't light at all. Let me know whats up please:D

Check your ballast instructions, that hps bulb may be bad, I've gotten burnt out ones from plenty of stores in my area. The bulb should have an arc as soon as its plugged in.

[BlaZinROC]

we got the hps bulb to work. what would anyone recommend for a bloom stimulator. peace :hippy:

[BlaZinROC]

Our plants have been under a 12/12 light regime for one week nwnd so far we are positve that we have two males and two females from or 6 bagseed plants and we have atleas one female from our four endless sky seeds. We have not bought a bloom fert yet and were woundering what the best organic bloom fert is. Also, should we get some bat guano? We plant on starting to use molasses in about a week or two.

[BlaZinROC]

Just went to our localgrow shop and picked up some Dr. Hornby's Iguana Juice bloom and some bat guana thats like .4-12-.5. We now have 5 confirmed females that have been under 12/12 for about one week. We're going to start usn the iguana juice when we water tomorrow but I wasn't sure on how to go about uing the bat guano. I figured i would just sprinkle some on top of the soil and then when i watered it would just feed the ladies but, I am not sure how much to put on top. Any suggestions?

I also plan on taking clonse from the 5 flowering ladies and was woundering if i should keep the fluoros on the clones 12/12, this way I don't stress it out of flowering? Also, is it worth taking clones and then just continue flowing them while they root? Any input is greatly appreciated, peace!

[whisky]

great go blazin. i dont know about the guano, i have some ferts with it but its liquid what i do is give them bloom nutes all the way in flower till the last 3 weeks then change to guano and sugar water ( molasses is better but i dno what that is :) )

[BlaZinROC]

Well I took ten clones from my flowering plants in hopes that they will take root and yield morethan they would of if they stayed a dinky low branch on one of my ladies.
Couple quick questions, that hopefully someone willandswer for once! I was thinking about sprinkling the guano on top of the soil, this way when i water they will be feed. Sound ok? Question #2, should i water with the iguana bloom juice every watering at a low dosage? And finally question #3, I heard that clipping the leaves shorter will help divert more of the plants energy towards budding, is there any truth behind this?
thanks for the help, the endless sky should be done in about 32 days! I can't wait!
