Harlequinn CBD Hybrid Strain - First Grow *LOTS OF PICS*

[rjbrittain11]

My First Grow:

Veg room is a 6'x6' with two Florescent T8 ballasts holding a total of 4 T8 bulbs (6000k). Running General Hydroponics FloraBloom, FloraMicro and FloraGro.

I got the clones (12 total) from a local dispensary in Oakland, CA on recommendation that they will buy back if everything goes well and test right, as the CBD strains are in high demand as not many people grow it. We'll see...if not i'll just smoke it!

Let me know what you think of both the progress and the problems with the leaves if they are even a problem :D

I'll try and post pics every week so you guys can give advice and monitor the progress with me :stoned:

Day 1 after bringing them home (August 15):

Wow. Those are some awesome picks. As for the red stem, I don't know if it is or not, but I'm hoping not since I have an OG Bubblegum Kush that's at least that red. Hope things continue to go well for your grow. Looks like a pretty nice setup.:jointsmile:

My current "adviser" informed me that the stems shouldn't be a problem as he has had that on some of his grows and says it all depends on the strain? He said it never caused him a problem in the past.

Thanks!

[rjbrittain11]

Wow! It's hot today! Max temp it got in the room was 95. How much will that effect things? The kiddos look just as good as they have but does it have long lasting effects? Tonight I am going to try and fix the heat problem with a portable air conditioner. We'll see how it does in the next couple of days as the heat wave passes through :(

[camoxnhx]

it should effect it to much. how long was the heat spike for? those protable ACs are the shit! im for sure gonna sit back and watch this one too!!!!!!!

[rjbrittain11]

It was probably at that temp for a few hours as I was at work and didn't have my eye on it. Portable AC is doing awesome and isn't letting it get over 78 degrees! It's gonna start getting cooler so shouldn't have anymore worries about heat!

[camoxnhx]

I ment that it "wounldn't" effect it much. Also just a quick question how much did your hydro setup cost? And what type of hydro system are you using?

[neceros]

Red Stem: Just let it grow out. Not a big problem.
Heat: Anything over 90 degrees can be a problem. too many differences in temperature can cause them to stress and do strange things to cope.

Looks pretty good so far. Too bad you are using Hydro, though. ;)

[Jcraig33]

It looks like the red is growing out. its not a big issue but if it returns it could be a minor nutrient deficiency. Happy Growing! Keep it Green!

[bluesteve]

Not to worry. Don't you guys know where this stuff grows originally? Even if you don't, consider that I grow outdoors in central California, and most days in the summer are over 90 degrees, and we often get spells of up to 3 weeks of nothing but temps OVER 102 degrees! The only thing I do to protect my plants from the heat is to put ply wood shades around the pots to keep the sun from raising the soil temp to over 100 degrees, but even without the sun shining on them, when it's over 100 degrees all day long, the soil still rises to close to 90 degrees, or higher, and I've yet to have a root system problem. The first year I grew, I didn't even know enough to shade the pots, and they still grew well. This summer, as an experiment, I kept a male in the small 5 Gal pot I started it in, and I never bothered to shade the pot all summer long. Too small of a pot that was also black and got too hot to touch on the really hot days, yet it grew to over 7 feet in that little pot before I removed it at the end of July, as it was flowering already, and I had no females ready to pollenate yet. I had another male for that purpose, anyway. Heat isn't that big of an issue with most varieties.

[canniwhatsis]

Looks about like Powdery Mildew. But it could be any number of molds/mildews/fungus.


Wish I could help out more. Fill out this form,... 2nd post in the thread..... and maybe one of the HydroPro's will be able to answer more accurately.

[Podge_Boro]

Lookin beautiful mate. Nice set up. I'm lookin forward to keeping an eye on them

[Theym420]

They're looking pretty nice :D keep an eye on that powder like stuff on the leaves tho, if it gets worse you may need to get it treated, mabye covering your res would help? Fungus isn't really my area of expertice. But these look like they will yield pretty well if they're handeled nicely, happy blazin :rasta:

And remember, it almost never hurts to quarentine a plant that you think might be diseased, untill it's treated so that it will not infect the whole crop, especaily if it's a clone harvest, if it hits one they'll all go up :( one disadvantage to the SOG

[rjbrittain11]

UPDATE:

Sorry for the long wait. So they are doing well. I have move them over 3 weeks ago to the HPS light 12/12 cycle. They are growing like weeds! Buds are forming and they are looking super strong! Sorry I have no pics, I'll try to get some up asap. I'm going to run them under the HPS without nutrients since they are growing so fast and I'm worried about height issues. I'm sure I'm going to have to do some manipulation with some dental floss :)

I cut the clones off and started growing them the day I moved them over. Of the 12 plants, I only moved 9 over since 3 of them didn't look ready, so I'm saving them as my mothers. 1 of those 3 looks like it's going nowhere as it's just a stem with a couple leaves on top. You'll see in the pics when j post them. Hopefully under the Floresent light it will recover and be a good mother.

I'm hoping to harvest around Xmas time!

[canniwhatsis]

Did you ever fix the PM?

[rjbrittain11]

Did you ever fix the PM?

Ya, I got some spray that works really well. I jut keep an eye on them and if I see any, I just spray and the next day it's gone.

[rjbrittain11]

UPDATE:

Ok, so the plants seem to be doing well and growing pretty good buds. I added nutrients to the water since I was advised to cause the plants were turning kinda yellow in the fan leaves. I assumed they were using all their energy to produce buds that they didn't focus on the leaves. Does this sound about right? So I put nutrients in the water and a week later it doesn't seem to be getting "yellow-er." the fan leaves are kinda drooping a little here and there. I'm gonna add CO2 3 times a day for 15 minutes cause I don't honk it's getting very much oxygen. Any thoughts?
