Ok... here it is... first the pics of the grow "room"
Its a 6ft triangle, 8 ft tall with a home made fixture hanging from the open top via rope and pullys, with a half dozen 26 watt CFLs. The sides have a total of 10 2tube 48inch T-12, 5000K flourescent tubes. I have a 16inch box fan that blows in from the bottom.

Ok... heres whats growing....
2 Nor Cal Daddy's Girl plants (Thanx IR, my friend)
1 Arjans Ultra Haze #1
1 Afghani-Hindu Kush.

Seeds were planted Sept 25. I have had to transplant them because of issues with the soil I started with(Gorilla Grow from Lowes) had too many nutes in it and was holding way too much water. I went to MG potting soil and they all are taking off. I just planted the Affi seed Oct 12.

I will update with new pics about once a week as I am able.

Comments and questions are welcome :D

Here's the week 2 pics..... I do have a question tho... its looking like one of the NCGD plants it trying to burn... I have not added any nutes and just using tap water that has set out for 24 hours. Lights are 3 - 4 inches from the tops of the plants, still on 18-6. Ideas? suggestions??

I only use T-12 fluoro tubes for vegging....safe as mother's milk.

vegging is about growing roots...not leaves. IMO. (transplant when roots show out the bottom of the pot)

If you're staying with the MG soil,may I suggest adding some perlite and fine dolomite lime to it when you transplant...

If your talking about the plant in pic 3, I got one doing that. Might just have too wet soil. I have my NCDG in styrofoam 200z cups right now, and I water with a spray bottle. About 10-12 squirts a day to prevent over-watering. Just my :twocents: If your soil isnt too wet, dont know what to tell ya, lol. I am not feeding anything other than tap water right now as well...

Steve, I think ya got a bit of magnesium deficiency going on there, not nute burn: Revised: The Complete Guide To Sick Plants,pH and Pest Troubles - PlanetGanja.com (http://www.planetganja.com/highsociety/showthread.php?t=8778)
she's 50% Cinderella 99, which has been called a 'magnesium hog' before ... I never found that to be necessarily so, but it's something to think about ... but, don't go too wild with anything to remedy it, she tends to be a light-to-medium feeder, in my experience ... :jointsmile:

I add a pinch of epsom salt, mixed with every water. Seedling to Harvest. (I think white widow is a "mag hog", too).

Here is week 3 pics... gonna have to raise the lights again, the ultra haze is gonna be another monster. :thumbsup: I got some cal-mag ordered up... it should be here Monday or Tuesday. I have started feeding with Shultz liquid ferts.. 14 drops per gallon.

Just for grinns... does molassas have magnesium in it??

anyway, I will post another set of pics in a week.:D

BTW... I also FIM'ed the ultra haze and the larger of the two NCDG.

OK...got the cal-mag equivelant from Home Depot.. they call it "garden lime". Transplanted my babies, after adding the garden lime to the MG potting soil(without moisture control), and added Superthrive to the watering mix along with Shultz liquid. Marked improvement overnight.. was worried I was gonna lose the smaller of the 2 NCDG. Anyway.... The temperature in their crib runs between 75 and 80 degrees when the lights are on.

First pic is the larger of the 2 NCDG plants.
Second is the one I thought I was gonna lose.:(
third pic is the Ultra Haze... its really happy under lights. :thumbsup:
the 4th pic is all 3 of them in their crib :D

I hope the puny one looks a lot better next week

When I go to flower, I will switch out the molasses for the superthrive. 1 question about the cal-mag tho... other than the original treating the potting mix when I transplant, do I need to add more?? This stuff is in a dry sand/powder mix If I need to add more, do I mix it in the water/nute mix?? or do I add it dry to the soil in the pot?? or what???

I havn't any experience with cal-mag or garden lime...I use 1 TBS of dolomite lime per gallon of grow medium... I've heard of people adding dolomite lime to their water and working it into their grow medium/soil if they didn't put it in there in the first place but I don't see why you should have to ammend your soil again in any way if you buffered it properly to begin with...:stoned::smokin:

From what I have read, dolomite lime, cal-mag, and garden lime, are all the same thing. My 2 NCDG plants are better after adding the garden lime, but it seems like they are starting to go back to where they were... I am wondering if I need to add a little more. Is there a test to find out what and/or how much??

I guess you could work a little more lime into the soil if you think that's the problem..."Indoor Marijuana Horticulture"says a mag deficiency can be treated with 2 tsp of epson salts per gallon of water...Good luck friend...

Steve, your plants are burning, see the tips ? ... back off the nutes, use 1/2 doses, once a week ... DUMP the SuperThrive in the garbage where it belongs, probably the source of your burning (SuperThrive is helpful for rooting, and rooting only, otherwise kills plants) ... also, those type of pots are bad, they allow the plant to sit in water at the bottoms ... cannabis needs excellent drainage, above all else ... otherwise, good work, buddy :thumbsup:

Thanx my friend... btw... I don't water enough to drain to the bottoms of the pots....and when it does, the bottoms get dumped so they are not sitting in excess water. Gotcha on the nutes... looks like I am gonna have to have 2 jugs of mixed nutes... one for the ultra haze, and one for the NCDG. I will post new pics in a bit.

FWIW, I am prolly gonna have to top the ultra haze....its much taller than the NCDG.... almost a 12 inch difference. I got plenty of my summer grow left so I am thinking that I may not even put this batch into flower until April. I want to see how big I can grow my babies....I dunno

Mississippi Steve

At 6 weeks along, and having topped the Ultra haze, and am rooting the clone, everything is looking pretty good. Right now I am getting branches on branches on all 3 plants. In todays pic, on the right we have the Ultra Haze, and on the left, we have the NCDG. I am going to see just how big I can get these things to grow under lights. either way they are gonna be some serious bushes.:D

prolly not needed with the side lites as well as the top lights.... makes for bigger canope, and bigger canope is more efficient from shat Stinky has said in the past. I would really like to see the Ultra Haze get up to 4 1/2 ft tall bush like the last one did.:thumbsup:

I hear ya Mississippi...Just to show ya I wouldn't suggest doin' something I wouldn't do myself...These two plants have been pruned/groomed...Lower branches have been cut off and lower internodes on lower branches have been removed...This improves air circulation and gives more energy to the top...Best to do your pruning B4 you start flowering as this will reduce stress that can lead to the "H" word...

Did I mention that I got branches growing out of branches?? with full side lighting as well as top lighting, the canope is very dense on top and on the sides. I figure with a little patience and the right grow regime, I might could double or triple the amount of bud on a single plant. The last batch of plants filled a full case of cure jars full of nothing but clean, cured bud with no stems and almost no leaves at all.

BTW... last night I tried to do 3 hits of the ultra haze... only made it to 2 before I couldn't reach the waterpipe anymore because it was too far away.

Lola,
I figure that if it saves one person from getting busted, then its worth it. Over the last year there havebeen tons of threads from kids that got busted with weed in cars, or around cars, and/or on campus...then they are on here whining about it, when it could have been prevented in the first place.

My babies were getting pretty well root bound so... time to transplant again... this time into 5 gallon buckets....drainage is via a half dozen or so 1/2 inch holes drilled in the bottom edge of the buckets. todays measurement is 21 inches tall. The clone wasn't doing real well in the shot glass, so I put it in dirt last night too... oh well... its either gonna live or it won't.

Current nute program is a dropper full of Shultz liquid, and 2ml of cal-mag plus per gallon to suppliment the MG potting soil that has 1 1/2 teaspoons of garden lime per gallon added. The plants are getting the nute water every other watering, with plain water the rest of the time. I figure I will put them into flower at the end of the month if they are big enough.

Not worried about smoke for now... still have 4 cure jars full.

Thanx. They seemed to have liked being transplanted, they have grown 3 inches since transplanting. :thumbsup:

If they continue to grow like that, they will be big enough to flower by the end of the month. FWIW, my last grow took 6 months, but the yield was worth the wait.... filled an entire case of Mason jars with bud that had been manicured and all the stems removed. Still have not found a single seed in the entire batch from 5 plants. :D

By cutting off the lower 4 branches, you could be losing as much as a qp of cured bud when the plant matures. I would think that you would want the largest, bushiest plants you can grow, and FIM all the main branches to force more secondary branches. the more branches you have and the longer they are, the greater the yield. At least thats the logic in my engineering mind.

Um,I took off a little more than 4 branches from the bottom...I find it makes the plant produce much better on the upper branches with larger buds,less popcorn,and improves circulation...I'll be flippin within a week...I understand your point of view but as imagereaper says,"I agree to disagree"...I'm really enjoying your grow friend...:jointsmile:

Pollen is good for something... Nothing beats a good hemp rope either. :D

Looking mighty fine there Steve. Painting the floor with a waterproof high gloss white paint wouldn't be a bad idea, spray paint?

Finished my NCDG plant. The buds looked like they got rolled in powdered sugar, and super sticky..... filled 3 cure jars with nothing but bud. The top cola before drying was an ounce and a quarter. This stuff rocks!! very very tiny amount in the waterpipe will get you very much wrecked. Taste is like blond hash with a hint of skunk, and a side of pine tree. I do *NOT* recommend NCDG for the casual user.

Did I forget to mention that my Arjans Ultra Haze #1 is 3 months into flower, and she should finish in mid March. BTW... I figured out that if you grow a 6 - 8 week flower, with one that has a 12+ week flower, you end up with 2 harvests from the same grow, spaced about 1 1/2 months apart. keep a steady supply of premium smoke in the cure jars.

Its not my first grow... just my first total indoor grow.

I don't know what the total weight is (yet).... I would have to dump out the cure jars...but I'll figure something out.
Thanx for the flowers tho.

Somebody told me once...that a full quart jar of cured/dried buds weighs about 350-500 grams?

I don't know?...I'm not into weight...but, I do like volume. Congrats...:thumbsup:

my pint jars held about 40 grams max.... so a quart would hold 80g, right?

All I know is that they are pint wide mouth jars, and a jar full will last me a couple of months. I got 3 jars from the NCDG plant, and still have a month before the Arjans Ultra Haze #1 plant is finished. I expect that I will be filling another half dozen or more cure jars.

Damn, Steve! I was thinking the exact same thing when I was down to my last jar! I told my girl, "This should last another month... maybe 5 weeks." I was on Christmas break at the time. 8 days later... I was out. It was a good thing though as I shouldn't smoke that much while taking 21 hours in college!!!

I got the wide mouth pint jars from Kr*ger... forgot how much was paid, but I remember looking at them next to the regular pint sized jars. I couldn't fathom them being the same size, but they sure were! They're so much shorter!!!!

Grow looks great! Knew it would be :thumbsup:

Been kinda busy over the last several weeks.... In any case, I harvested the Arjans Ultra Haze #1 yesterday.... the trichs were cloudy.... didn't see any amber, but the hairs were dying off....I figured it was time. heres a couple of pics of her cut, trimmed, and hanging to dry.

FWIW, after I cut and trimmed, and hung the buds to dry, I swept up all the hairs that fell off...... put some of them in the waterpipe by themselves... I don't recommend this for the faint of heart. All I can say is HOLY CRAP!!! :joint1::jawdropper:


Stay tuned for the next grow..... at this point I am looking at the following;
Afghani-Hindu Kush
Toxic Blue(F2)
Sensimillia

I have done sativas before... on the last grow. I had the top 3 or so feet bent over, and it was still over 4ft tall. It was planted along with 2 NCDG seeds on 10/26/08, one of the NCDG was male so it got culled, and what was left was one of each. They got put into flower 12/6/08, the NCDG was harvested on 1/25/09, and the Arjans Ultra Haze #1 was harvested 2/22/09. The Ultra Haze was a couple of weeks shy of the 12 week flowering time that the seed site recommended because the hairs were dying off and drying out. All the trichs were cloudy a week and a half or so ago.

Address?? Yes, I have one.:smokin:

Hey steve,

I'm new to this growing thing, but i must say reading through the thread i have learned much about growing big superb bud. Cheers mate! I really liked the way you managed to use that reflective insulation as a bounce card. Nice work!
