I'm new!!! here's my garden!!

[dank4life]

hi everyone. i just found this site and decided to get social. i hate trolls.... so heres my garden. i have sensi stars, mk ultra, mr. nice g13xhash plant, mango, and one crazy purple urkle. all clones. they're at day 17 flowering with canna nutes at full strength with a shot of cannazyme, superthrive, organics alive solution, and a half strength shot of pure flowers. theyre sitting under a 600 hortilux hps, under which they vegged for 21 days. they are all in 50/50 hydroton/crutons. the sensis are in 3gal bags, xplanted 7days b4 flower. the others are in 1gal pots. they seem to be stronger withouth the xplant stress. LST on some sensi stars for 10 days and they responded very well. FIM/supercropped others for only 10days (oops). sensis and g13xhash plant are a little sparse, but those mk ultras love everything ive thrown at them (next grow i'll isolate one with pure flowers and micronutes to see if thats the x-factor). only probs i have had are some cupping on leaves and a little dull green foliage on the plants in the center of the garden. humidity does reach the mid 70s as well as the temp. ventilation has been a little tricky, since my buddy decided to build a growbox instead of just putting a partition in the closet. my carbon filter is outside the box, but the ac intake is in the same space. so i end up defeating the purpose of all my vent/odor control because i have to open the box to exchange the air. other than that, all is well. i mean, i kinda rushed so at day 17 the canopy is 16". that kinda bothers me because im probably gonna end up with something like .25-.3 gpw but whatever.... its my first grow since '98.

(all pics taken today with my shitty treo650 cam)

**PIC1----- mk ultra (topped once and sqished all the branches supercrop stylie day7/14 veg)

**PIC2----- same plant (15" 1gal pot)

**PIC3----- sensi star (10dayLST b4flowering,a little squish below lowest branches, 15"tall, main stem measures 21" long)

**PIC4----- better shot of the sensi star tops

**PIC5----- profile of garden (very crowded. i may donate a couple to a club. hope the hum/temp dont ruin my crop.)

so, thats my story and i'm sticking to it. i do have one question though: i wonder what factors contributed most to the short stature of my plants? i really dont want to believe it was stress i caused by training/pruning or transplanting, and i hope it isnt environmental factors. maybe everything is perfect and i'm just being neurotic:vader1:

[4x5]

They'll get taller don't worry, looks good, how tall were they after your 21 days veg?

[dank4life]

they grew about 6"-9" in veg, leaving everyone at about a foot when i switched over to 12/12. i was only feeding them with about 900ppm solution. the only one who had weird vegging was the urkel. the clone looked like a flowering top. i think it took a while to revert. but the urkel, who was 6" when i switched to 12/12 is now 20" after 18 days. i think the 1gals may be getting cramped in the pots. if they get rootbound will that stunt bud swelling? what do you guys think about those 2 plants that i got the pics of? they dont look like they will be very heavy. who knows

[Weedhound]

Being rootbound will indeed stunt your plants growth....can be by a large amount too so if you think that will happen you should transplant as soon as you can.

I'm growing some MK-X for the first time.....the one in your first pic looks lovely and so does the rest of your garden. :thumbsup:

[dank4life]

rootbound yeah, but its the ones that i didnt transplant that are filling out the best. so at this point i'm more concerned with the damage i may have done with my training and transplanting than the size constraints of the 1gal girls. i dunno, the hydroton/cruton mix really sucks for transplants. the roots grow through the little rockwool pieces, and the clay just falls apart. theres no ball, just chaotic bludgeoning of the rootmass. i need input!!! someone acknowledge my existence, because i am totally convinced that i suck at everything and need validation

[Matt the Funk]

No real info here, just wanted to say you got some nice plants:thumbsup:

[dank4life]

so i went in today about an hour after the light went on and i saw pic1. i added carbo load yesterday. thats all that changed. heres a couple pics of day 20

[postmandave]

Nice grow dank.These yellow spots may be a mn problem it can be affected by high or low mg.I was reading on ur other thread that your run off ppm is higher than the res ppm. So by looking at these spots you may have a salt build up in your medium.hence why the rise in ppm in ur run off.Thats just something to think about dank it could also explain the stunt you think there may be in the growth and that may not be a root prob thats causing that.Just another input may be way off but something to bounce around. Anyway nice looking grow mate and intresting thread . best of luck.be safe the postman.


ps if it is the case just flush the medium with ph correct water

[Tomthehippie]

looks like u splits some nuets on the leaves :)

[dank4life]

ima split some nutes on ur leaves!!!!

[dank4life]

quick update. day 24 flower. dropped ppm to 1000 cuz I was getting the slightest burn on the tips at 1300ppm. I also added some epsom salt at 2/3 str. since I've been using canna nutes. I saw little spots of mold on 2leaves and I cut them off. hope that's good enough. there is a little warping of the newer growth on some of the ss since those changes 3days ago. and I can't determine what the cause is. there is some excellent news though. that mk ultra in the first pic has all purple calyxes. the weird thing is that with 3 mk ultra clones from the same plant, 1 is a different pheno??? they also had different growth patterns. 1 even grew horizontally and had to be tied. the mr. nice kinda did that but I think its because I bushed 1 out more. i'd post new pics but I'm posting on my cell phone and the pics look like shit. I think that's about it.... oh yeah! given my current nute resources, can anyone help with making adjustments in week five and beyond. also, would it be safe to remove lower spindly branches...or is it too late

[Bodom Children Of]

nice grow :jointsmile:

[dank4life]

ok, so i went in today and noticed someting on one of the mk ultras. there are spots all over a few of the larger fan leaves. they are light brown on lower leaves and almost black on the upper ones. pic 1 is the whole plant and pic 2 is one of the leaves. another thing that is confusing is that the ph keeps going up. why is that? anyway, i will continue looking. hopefully they dont die :thumbsup: i did include some other pics too pic 3 is a couple of ss girls with the lst treatment. pic 4 is an overhead of the garden. pic5 is the untopped mango. wish me luck and safety folks:rastasmoke:

[Tomthehippie]

looking nice man! :D

[dank4life]

can anyone help with those spots in that first pic. i think they are some kind of fungus or mold. does the plant have to be destroyed?

[4x5]

Your plants won't look cute and perfect for long, just like people, they get ugly when they get old, just keep an eye on them.

[dank4life]

thats what my wife tells her friends about me

[MinusRyan]

Indicas are so pretty and tasty, I have one growing right now and it's about a foot. Boy are they wide and fat as hell! Keep up the good work my friend.

[dank4life]

ok, so those spots progressed and covered leaves on most of the plants. they all started to go yellow, etc. u know, classic lock up. i spent all night flushing the garden today. i wasnt exactly sure what to do, as this was my first time flushing. i think the only thing that i might hve missed on was the fact that i didnt feed the girls after the flush. so at this point im a little concerned about adding sugar into my little ecosystem. the carbo load and sucanat were the only things i added before the downturn. I have been feeding these girls for 2 months without washing them out though so my situation is probably the result of a combination of the two. so, thats all for today. I hope everything works out
