Hey everyone...

Just started my second grow, first time indoors. Im about 10 days into it and I have about 27 children in a planter not all of which have 6 leaves yet. After bringing them outdoors during the day and under a 50/50 plant aquatic light at night for the first 9 days. They look healthy but seemed to need more light so I went out and bought an ott grow light bulb (middle) and two 125 watt CFLs (sides) and positioned them on a home made ballast. Tin foiled around to trap some of the light.

Pictures to come in the A.M.

Finally got more lights last night. Found (85w) CFLs that put out 250 watts each. Along with those I have 2-125 watt cfls and an ott grow light. They seem to be doing better just overnight with the added wattage. Im guessing that we are like 12-14 days from popping.

Nothing's wrong with it. Those are just the seed-leaves. They die off because they are just sort of little jump-starters for the plant. Like how the space shuttle dumps its booster rockets right away.

You deffinately want to be carefull bring your indoor plants outside. They will get bugged before you know it. i lost a whole harvest because i did that.

It was originally going to be an outdoor grow but then we decided to splurge on lights... Depending on the # of females half of them still might go outside a couple weeks into flowering.

Update...

They arent looking as "happy" as normal. They seem to be turning a lighter green on some spots and other whole leaves... No nutes given to them yet but I might. Think I might be lacking nitrogen-or could be the water im giving them.
Maybe i should start buying filtered water for them...


Pictures coming later on tonight...

Update 11/12/06
NEW DIGITAL CAMERA :dance: !!! No more shitty phone pictures.

Had them in the attic so I think the problem was the heat during the day. We semi-fixed that with fans so its not getting up in the 90oF+ range. The children seem to be doing okay... Starting to turn dark green again but I def. dont think they are enjoying living in soda cans. Seems like growing has slowed drastically in the last 3 days so we are transplanting them tonight into bigger pots and going to start nutes...

Looking forward to switchin 12/12 time!:rasta:

dude get rid of that tinfoil it is bad
just paint your walls white or build a box for the babes painted white inside or lined with white visqueen plastic or mylar
tinfoil is bad because it crinkles and light is reflected at oblique angles and with many hot spots you think your gaining light but actually your losing search around the boards if u dont believe me and need some verification

Get those plants out of the aluminum cans at your first chance... the aluminum will corrode off and block out other nutrients, in theory. Of course, cola is way more acidic than your watering water, so there must be some sort of coating in there... anyway the plants are coming along... yeah, white paint is great stuff.

Legalizdahurb
11-14-2006, 07:54 PM
Looking nice keep up the good work.
As the others said matt white paint or mylar would work better than tinfoil.
I think once you transplant those babies into new bigger pots they will take off again. As for nutes just start on 1/4 the reccomended dose and work your way up, it would be a shame to burn them now.

So what did you decide on for potting soil?

ridethefire
11-14-2006, 08:22 PM
Now that they are in 3 gallon pots we only have room for 8 plants. All the others have to planted outside and hope for the best...
I dont think I am going to fertilize until I see what the plants do in the new soil. The soil that we used turned out not to be for pots-but for outdoor in-ground plants (it was for roses). Its supposed to fertilize for 3 months... Any signs of nute burn and I imagine I would have to re-transplant into regular potting soil. So far so good though.

I know the tinfoil isnt the best... Ill try to fix that tonight...

Good plan to wait on ferting, even thought they definitely are ready for it, the new soil is pre-ferted...
If they show burn you can just flush them. Repotting is probably not needed.

You've probably seen all the 'oh, miracle grow sucks' posts but just keep an eye on things, at least all your numbers are below 1... check the pH of your runoff water if you can, because that's a likely place where problems with the ferts in the dirt will first show.

!!!!!!! HPS LIGHTS COME IN A WEEK !!!!!!!!!

I guess we're gonna wait another week to start 12/12, that way we'll have new lights for all of flowering. Change of lights won't negatively affect the plants at all, will it?

Hows LST look? 1st attempt at it... Not sure where to go with it from here though.

To top, or not to top?

I was kinda of wondering about that... We have slipknots holding them-do they grow with the plant? How long before I can take off the strings holding the main stock? Also, I tied back some of the bigger fan leaves on some of the plants so the growth on the bend (coming out of nodes) get more light... is this ok? New to LST so im assuming that that growth is what eventually forms into a new budsight:confused:

Temps are getting cooler in the attic and i'm wondering if I should incorporate a lamp with an incandescent bulb in the middle of my setup-for added heat???
At what temperature (F) should I start to worry??

Does smoking around plants harm them?

I usually leave my plants tied all the way through because i am lazy. I just make sure there is some slack round the branch so it can grow.
Yes your right about the new growth comming from the nodes and I usually move leaves about so the new growth can get more light.
I have read you shouldn't really smoke round your plants but it has never stopped me.
As for temps I work in C but 16-18c I think is the coldest you can go without stunting your plant to much but I may be wrong. The cold does bring out any purple colour in your plants during flowering.

Does the actual stem grow into 2 or does the growth on the nodes take over?

Check it out, here is the plant we topped then LST'd. See the two tops formed where the stem splits? This one produced a few large tops, instead of a bunch of little ones. And over all it had the most even canopy.
http://boards.cannabis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=99320&d=1163019849

This one was just LST'd.
http://boards.cannabis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=100224&d=1163400809

I dunno, its hard to compare, cause they're not the same strain. But I like topping once then tying, seemed to work nice. The other two were tied, then we fim'ed all the new tops that formed. Now one of them has like 44 tops that i can count. But they are all small tops, as opposed to the few larger ones.

http://boards.cannabis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=102167&d=1164181518

I can't wait to see how yours turns out. Lst'ing is a beautiful thing to watch, i love the way the plant transforms its shape just because you bent it.

Just found out that the HPS thats being given to us is 400watts w/ ballast. We should be setting it up around 10:00pm tomorrow. Im thinking that we may want to veg for an additional week with HPS-let them get a little bigger.

In an effort to make this thread somewhat educational, ill start posting some of the problems we've encountered, as well as the ones we are currently having throughout the rest of the thread. Again, Any comments/criticism/advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

-Being under CFL's, we wanted to maximize the amount of light that the plants were getting to ensure tight, close nodes. To do this we pushed all pots very close together. Without realizing, during moving the plants for LST, Watering, Etc, some of the ends of leaves have been pinched off. This doesn't seem to have caused very many problems but I am afraid that it may have stunted growth a little.

-Im currently using miracle grow grow products as soil/nutrients. I am well aware of the bad reputation miracle grow has, but seems good so far but only time will tell. Maybe next grow ill do a half miracle grow to see how ineffective it actually is...

-We dont have any PH tester... Should I give them distilled water instead of tap?


Thanks again to those of you who comment...

Someone correct me if i'm wrong... Yes, you can still LST if you want. Just be VERY careful not to break them. the older they are, the harder they are to train. You should have to re-tighten all the strings a few times to get your desired bend, as it will break if you try to do it in one. I have one plant that I didnt LST the main stem-just been tying down larger fan leaves to help the new growth get light. Seems to be working pretty well thus far. How long have you been veggin?
Good Luck!

Get a ph tester! and some ph up and ph down. these are very important, and you are just hurting your plants and yourself without them. test and adjust your water and nute solutions.

having the wrong ph can keep your plants from absorbing some nutrients, so you want to have it btw 6.2-6.7

Thanks, good luck with your "children!" I believe my plants were so stunted due to the PH of the water I was giving them.

Yeah.... that's the one thing that I really wish we had. Ill have to make a run to get one tomorrow. I believe that with properly Ph'd water, our plants would be huge right now. You've inspired me to go get one. Thanks :rasta: !

Those pictures were taken right after we hung up the light... We've def. made some improvements since then. You are right, it makes a huge difference having all of the light reflecting down. Appreciate the input.

I did have ants on my peppers for awhile. They didn't seem to really be causing any harm. I'd see them scurrying around the lips of the pots and shit just running about like they were up to no good, but never saw any problems.

Sounds like my little invaders. Yeah, it didn't really seem like they were doing much harm, but I didn't want to wait for that to change. Ended up getting some ortho... Kills over 100 bugs and is safe to use on plants... Took care of them in less than 24 hours. All is well again!

Our 1st confirmed female (#1) is getting more and more hairy everyday! Good News!! our 1 confirmed female has now become 2. I suspect a male already (macro pic on next post) but not totally sure yet-you tell me! 2 down, 6 more to sex.


We haven't been fertilizing due to the soil we bought (MG rose soil for OUTDOOR use, not pots). They seem to be doing okay w/o nutes- the soil said feeds up to 3 months. Are there any nutes that I can add to my water worry free?

Yeah... We figured it out...
Last grow, we grew 2 plants, both of them turned out to be female. Just wanted to be sure before we killed 2+ months of work :stoned: .

Here are some pictures of the males after we removed most of the leaves- before and after pics! :rastasmoke: ...

Does a 400w HPS lose effectiveness at 2ft?

every light loses some lumens depending how far away it is, 2 feet is too far with proper cooling you should get the light 1foot or less from the tops.

Easy way to get rid of ants mix some sugar and yeast together with moleasses will seem like your feeding them but disappear after a week or 2

Thanks splifted! We'll be happy if they look anything like yours :rastasmoke:

After reading splifteds update on his log:White Rhino & Bag-seed Grow Log w00t (http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=90199) I was inspired to do a plant by plant rundown :stoned:.

#1
We knew that the plants grew 50-200% taller during flower, but we didn't expect it to get this big! We constantly had to move around the plant and the light to prevent it from burning up.

We initially LST'd it down to one side of the pot and let the sideshoots grow up, but the main cola just kept growing taller and taller.

Other than having to make space, we haven't really had many problems with this one. It was so big, even the ants were scared of it! :jointsmile:

Plant #2
Just starting to get really hairy but buds havent really formed yet. I think all the plants will be harvested about 1 week apart, judging from current growth, this one will be 3rd.

We LST'd it like #1 but it hasnt grown nearly as tall.

Tried to get a macro pic, damn shaky hands.

This one will be the 2nd to be harvested. Buds are right behind #1. I love the hairyness!

We LSTd it like the other 3 :rastasmoke:

Plant #4

This is the odd one of the bunch. It seems to be an entirely different strain than the others, which isn't surprising as we didn't really stick to one bag for seeds. I believe it to be much more sativa than the others. You can see the difference in the leaves. The first pic of a leaf is #4 and the 2nd is the what the others look like. This is the least developed, flowering wise, and will most likely be harvested last.

It was LST'd using the method on an earlier post, wrapping the main stem around the pot. All the colas look pretty even. This made a VERY bushy plant.

We are currently having a problem with some browning on some of the leaves.:confused:

Last but not least... the runt.

This plant is the best strain that we have flowering, unfortunately it is very stunted. It's probably a month and 1 1/2 older than the others, but was kept in a snapple bottle and neglected most of its life. We said what the hell, and decided to flower it!



Thats it for now! Enjoy the pics and....

Hey, ridethefire...So you surf? That's cool. I've been meaning to learn that. I snowboard, but haven't surfed yet.

Are you scared of sharks? :eek: hehe


Nice hairy mamas you got going there. They're getting mightly plump & juicy looking.

It's been quite a while since your last pic...any new ones?
