1st Grow. 16 days in to Veg. How do they look? 2000w MH + HPS setup

[rob25san]

First things First. I am a licensed MMJ patient in colorado, and this is a legal grow. NOW....

*Two lights. 1000w HPS 1000 MH. In 6" vented cool tubes with reflectors.

*Two Circulation fans.

*Exterior Air intake, and exhaust vented from the lights. Both with Inline Fans.

*24/7 Lights.

* Started with Clones. Short with two leaves each maybe. Fully Rooted in Rapid Rooter Pods.

*Organic Botanicaire Pro Grow and some superthrive + Cal Mag once in awhile.

*5.5-6.5 PH. Hand Watering.

*6" Grodan Cubes.

*70-80Degrees. 25-35% humidity

*Lots of Mylar

*No Bugs!

*Strains! Sour Diesel, White Widow, White Rhino, Blueberry.

Should we be using a humidifier? If not the Humidity is only like 2% or so.

Got some algae on top of blocks. So I bought the block covers. How bad is algae to have on your blocks?

The plants seem to be short, stalky, bushy, and full of nodes! 3 plants are 10.5" and most are around 8". As I said, they are dense, but there is plenty of light. No one seems unhappy!

Pointers? Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Good or bad, as long as its constructive i'm down.:rastasmoke:

looking good :thumbsup:

Algae robs the roots of nutrients and can prevent problems from that, other than that it all sounds & looks like you did your homework and it's going great!

Thanks so far guys. Looking for more insight as well! Here are some more cool pics I just snapped. I will be updating this thread, so it will be like my grow log. Will try to update 1-2times a week.

I had a nute/ph problem early on or they would be even bigger. There are some leaves still wilted and curved, from that ordeal. Cal Mag cleared up on problem, but to much of it caused another.

All under control now, and seem to be growing about 2" every 4 days.

Pic 5 is my worst plant, but still very crazy bushy.

Pics 4 and 5 are the best plants I believe. Nearly 11"s

Holy, that is a work of ART, nice job!!!!

Thanks Guys. All is well with the plants. Day 20. Last day of veg. Here are some photos. Next stage is Flower kicked off by Bud Blood than switching to Advanced Nutrients CONNOISSEUR part A + B. Pricey Stuff, but supposed to be the best guaranteed and you can get a refund if you dont agree.

These pics show 11-12" plants. They are now 14" the very next day, after first day of flower just using grow nutes. Now they are on the grow/bud blood. Will see what day two looks like!

Tomorrow is day two of Flower. Plants stretched 2 inches since I took these photos and they look amazing!

They are still as bushy as a 1970's playmate, and have a crazy amount of nodes!

nice work buddy not bad but with rockwool they tend to get over water so be careful check for roots on bottom to see if they go through if they do you are good, if not and with too much watering you will be drowning the roots with no oxygen(causing alot of F**king problems) cause that is the problem i'am having right now and i'am thinking it's all this other shit which it is too cause over watering cause some nutrients not to be absorb or uptake and there you go with the deficiency shit and you're thinking its some other shit which leads to misdiagnosed= killing it with kindness

O yea how i know it was over watering cause i had one my friends with 15 years on his belt and also owns a hydro store come over to check my shit, he step into my room and before saying anything he said i bet you 100 dollars its over watering and i ask how the F you know, he lifted my rockwool cubic up showing me the bottom which there was no roots coming out at all and on top of the cubic where the rapid rooters at you could see little roots trying to grow out.

Thanks for the tip. Had my share of problems on the first week. With rockwool we had to put the ph'd liquid in about 1pt lower to have the runoff at the right level.

Also the algae was handled by buying block covers. 10.00 was well worth it. Also we have nice thick white roots coming out the sides and bottoms. We let the blocks dry out and feel light before watering.

[rob25san]

Now I have some over 18" tall! They are all looking amazing! Lots of little hairs poking out on the nodes/flowering sites.

They are on BudBlood/ Botanicaire grow and bloom mix right now.

waiting from the Advanced nutrients conni coming soon! Then they will explode!

If nobody is interested this time around, im going to save my breath and do a private grow log.

I stopped growing because all my plants died. Thank You.

dude i feel ya not as many people on here as there were when i started kinda
sucks no one really comments on peoples shit

[Vancefish]

My only comment could be Nice plants! :thumbsup:

Beyond that it looks like you've got it going on, where as I'm a full on noob, still looking into what I'm GOING to buy! :D

I honestly hope all your plants didn't actually die. I've been reading your thread when it comes up and did learn a few things from the read. So, hope you didn't take offence. I'd like to see the full grow completed. :thumbsup:

AND happy holidays
