First time grow in progess watch them grow

heres some more pics for the viewing. first is the white widow followed by northern lights than sensiwhitewidow mix and a big bud. the big buds leaves area little iffy. i am feeding all my plants a small solution of nutrients less that 1/3 recommended since humboldt organic has such concentrated i figured id start small and they were all healthy. this is only happening to the big bud and none of the others. its not the light because as you can see the whitewidow higher but doing good. could it be too little of nutrients? is it time to feed them full dose? please let me know:thumbsup:

more

Could be heat maybe. Do you gotta fan moving air around, if not it might help bro,

Good luck:rasta:

well i put my hands next to it and its not like incredibly hot but warm im guessing no warmer than 75-80. i do have a fan but run it for a short bit every day multiple times its just loud and annoying. if it was heat wouldnt the taller ones be burning too? thanks for the post back

Sometimes you can get a heat pocket, but with a fan moving air will help if this is the problem. You could get a cheapy for 5 bucks at wally.

Good luck:rasta:

Thanks for posting your grow. I'm doing a like setup and got some good info from this thread

so i just got back from the Olympic games in canada came back to a nice suprize and now its time for the fun to begin. i just switched to 12/12 tonight and hopin for the best. heres some more picss enjoy!:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmoke:
1. big bud 2. sensi star whitewidow 3. whitewidow 4. northernlights
smoke up:thumbsup:

always forget that uploaddd:stoned:

that girl in the first pic did you determine what the problem with her is? I would try and trim away some of the dead leaf(if it actually is dead). However it may stun the plant since you just started flowering.

haha i did, sadly enough to say it was lack of nutrients i feel kinda dumb. i really havent given these plants the right doses of nutes. not too much because i was scared of how concentrated the humboldt nuts are and how overnuting is a big problem but i guess under is just as well

also noticed i had some spider mites appearing on my plants. i picked up azamax from a local hydro shop. i was gonna go with neem oil but he said this is great and its worth the cost. i mixed up a spray bottle with a little bit and sprayed all the foilage under and on top and all around my plants. anyone ever used this and know how often to use and the effectiveness as well as the potency? thanks :thumbsup:

day 3 of bud they went in on the night of the 19th. there growing fast!:thumbsup:

i few more pics to give you some size you havent really been able to tell the actual fullness. and a pic of my make shift box that ima use for scrog, once they get a little taller and i know which are female i will add the screen and lettumm go

so my plants have been in bud since 19th todays the 23. today will be day 5, i've been checking everyday since i started 12/12 for male/female how long does it typically take to show the signs?

i know ive been posting alot but its the first grow and im trying to make sure i get the best possible knowledge from all you guys because i like a good smoke and thats what im going for. i spaced out the plants a little to give them more room to grow and breath, i felt like they where claustrophobic and didnt get the room they need. do i have the right idea? or should i keep them confined in a smaller area?

been a few days since some good quality pics so i thought id throw some in since i finally got the chance. still havent determined the sex of the 3 plants from seed but hopefully soon. day 6 of bud, i just turned the light off and will come on at 12 am. :rastasmoke:

1.BB 2.NL 3. SS 4. WW

my plants have been i bud 8 days now. ive transplanted all my plants atleast twice 3 into 3 gallon pots and 1 into a 5. all my 3 gallon pots are showing lots of roots popping out of the bottem. what do i do in terms of transplanting? theres still atleast 8 weeks of growth and i know they will get root bound.. pleasssee help assaaap:mad::mad::mad:

You are already well into flowering. At this point i wouldnt transplant. It will cause unwanted stress and will do far more damage then keeping them in an already good size pot. Your plants look great. In the end they are weeds and weeds are hard to kill even if your trying.

If your going to scrog id be doin it very very soon as those plants are going to start shooting up trying to get more light. Keep up the great grow. Ill be tuned in for sure.

that is the only stuff that will get rid of fungus gnats in your soil...good stuff!

i always use neem and Dutch master Penetrator together and that will kill the mites...i save the Azamax for the hard to handle critters when they do come around!

you want roots...so if a few are coming out the drainage holes it is a good sign of a healthy root zone! :thumbsup:

well than i guess ill wait it out im just scared about the roots getting too dense. the sex should be starting in a few days keep posted!

i only do one transplant into a 2 gal pot and i finish in it ....so your 3 gal has plenty of room to finish out in;)

I was planning on finishing my grow in 3 gallon buckets. Yours look great right now. What's the final verdict, do you wish you'd upsized?

Also, when did you start giving nutes? I just transplanted out of red cups into 1 gallon pots and I'm using FFOF soil. So far my girls don't even look like they NEED nutes. I've also got molasses for when the time comes... whenever that is.

2 gallon for me two i went with a five last harvest and my buds now are on day 19 they look like day 30 compared to my last i think im getting it down slowly but surely

thanks for all posts appreciate them all. the lights are going off in about 20 minutes going on day 11 of bud. im gonna leave the plants all in the 3 gal pots except the one big bud thats in a 5. didnt mean to get the 5, just couldnt tell the difference :stoned: i trimmed up some of the lower branches today to focus the growth on the strongest tops for nice dense colas hopefully.

along with all the good news i feel kind of stupid about the way my lighting was operating.
i converted one 2 prong outlet into a 3 with a seprate add on plug, once that was settled i was than able to plug my 3 prong extension card into and connect all my lights into the outlets.
I have one T5 that puts out 90 w of fluorescent lighting, along with that i have 2 fixtures that are split twice each. in each fixture theres 2 42w cfl's 2700k's and 1 29 w 2700k's

this is roughly about 400 watts of cfl's going into one 2 prong outlet.
I didnt notice the difference as i slowly added bulbs but it really did make a difference.
I switched the outlet into my surge protector outlet with a switch and about 8 outlets. the bulbs lit up so much and i could notice the difference very easily.:thumbsup:

wish i would have known eariler! i bet this would of made a big difference in the growth of my plants :thumbsup:
i keep going on and on but heres the pics. trimmed up and sprayed down again with some azamax, i still noticed a few spidermites kickin around

a few more

here's a snap of the base of that first plant shown in the previous post or in my setup front right plant. :D

looks good
i would put a little more soil and cover those roots up.

So today is exactly 2 weeks i notice pistals are comming in on my WW cutting and looking nice but slowly. as for the other plants still no signs of sex? I've been trying to think of what it could be? along with no sex the plants don't seem to be growing much higher at the moment.
I considered that maybe that because i didn't run a fan and i kept my closet closed for a majority of the time that this could be the cause?
I also thought maybe because i haven't been giving these plants the correct full doses of nuts that they needed threw veg stunting them for there bud process.

At this point i'm scared the sex will show and i will end up with some hermies because they've been so stunted.
Ive checked out others grows and by week 2-3 there pistols are popping everywhere compared to what i have.

Any feed back would be nice this is my first grow and trying to learn from it:cool:

I run my girls at 24/0 and when I want to see pistils I put them in the dark for 36 hours and then run a 18/6 lighting schedule until pistils are clearly visible. It usually only takes about 2-3 days after 18/6 schedule for pistils to show. Be patient and positive and i've learned that comparing to other people grows only stresses you out haha. Atleast thats how it works for me as well as motivation to get results. Stick to the 18/6 those pistils are coming it is strange that they haven't appeared after two weeks. There are no light leaks right? Make sure you really get in those girls and check the stems well for herms. :thumbsup:

day 15 of bud, finally confirmed a female which was the northernlights from seed 2/4 right now still waiting for the big bud and sensi star to show! looking good though! ill post pics soon
smoke up!:jointsmile::rastasmoke::stoned:

finally all my plants have showed i have 3 females!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: white widow from cutting, northlights from seed pistols showing and sensistar from seed pistols showing. not sure if it could hermie but possibly? i snapped some pics last night but cant get them online at the moment.
im headed out of town for a few days and will be backw ith new pics for the crowd. everythings finally starting to look nice!
i was doubting my self for a little bit but everything commin together nicely:rastasmoke::rastasmoke: see you guys in a few days with a few sits of pictures

so finally got everything set and all the pics on the comp and here they are here are the pics from day 18 i have been doubting these plants but they seem to constantly stay nice and healthy :thumbsup::thumbsup:
i have been using humboldt nutrients grow bloom organic + duece duece + added with a little bit of super natural bud blaster and everythings looking good !

First a little bit of northern lights

Your plants look nice and healthy, nice work :) I wouldnt worry about them getting "root bound". I grew a 5 ft tall plant in a 2 gallon bag and it grew perfectly. What I noticed is that you have to feed them more often. Yield was not affected at all. It did get a little top heavy however and needed to be supported as it wanted to just roll over on me :/ It was an experiment and the conclusion is that small pots do not effect yield but do become a hassle when the buds get heavy and want to tip the plant over...bigger pots for more base support. :rastasmoke:

peace

My net died last night when i was posting all my pics. the first pic there in northern lights than the other 2 are whitewidow and a snap shot of all 3 lovin life:rastasmoke:
