Rev's Grow Log- 1st Stage: from legs to bush

I'm thinking the exact same thing. Just gotta find some more buckets! Lemme know how it goes. I'll drop by soon.

Ok. Haven't transplanted yet. Got some pics tho, sbeen a while since I posted some.

Am noticing more rusting on lower leaves of 3 taller plants...I think they're WW, but not sure. Their leaves are much skinnier and ridged like ruffles. Looks like begining of nute burn or some sort of nutrient lockout. Could have to do with rootboundedness [??!!] Either way, its just not digging the nutes, environ, etc, as much as the big bud...White widow is harder to grow, right?

Lateral growth is taking off, the side lighting literally producing inches per day. [not on the WW, practically none.] Over all growth loooks good. Had to take the side lighting out on account of temps. Had some major temp fluxes ajusting my 400 MH, can see evidence of it in the slight reddening of upper portions of stem.

Really want to clone...for sexing and just b/c i wanna try it.

Check the pix, 1st two from 3/7, 2nd two from 3/10

Hey Rev..your plants look good. I have the same. A bit of rust on the lower protruding stems. I also tend to get them heat stressed as I don't have such good ventilation. By the 14th of the 18th hour or so, they tend to droop and appear tired of the light and the ventilation.

I transplanted today. I will let you know tomorrow or Tuesday how they look. As we both know, this is not an easy process and I can't see having one plant that does not have some burnt leaves, yellow leaves, minor damage etc. I am still in the game and will post a pic soon.

By the way, my roots were wrapped really, really tight. They definitely needed that tranplant. Best of luck to you!

Hey rev thats looking really nice. Have you tried looking for an cheap air cooled reflector. If you can get one of those in there you'll really start to have some fun. Cool tubes are nice no doubt but just like the footprint of a larger reflector and they cool nicely, easy to set up, take up a little space though. Those plants look really healthy, don't think scrogs out of the question for the grow. Transplantings a snap if you take your time with it, can be very low stress. Plants look nice, search for justaseeds ,,, lovely ladies ,,,, if you wanna look at a nice scrog grow, its a 400, nice.

Transplanting to 5 gal buckets went great I think, now 24hrs later and no evidence of shock. I think in the past I've over watered...with cold water. This time I made sure water & soil were @ 70F. I also got more involved in the soil recipe:

To cheap soil I added vermiculite, peat, compost tea, homeade worm castings, and worms. I've had about 25 gal. worth of vermiculture going on for about 4 months now. All my veggie scrap goes in there. I was very plesantly surprised when I opened a few un and there was about 3 in. of solid casting @ the bottom. I shined a brite light on it to force worms to very bottom. I couldn't resist grabbing a handful, it felt amazing. See pic. I also pasteurized the soil.

My 3 taller, ridgier plants are experiencing some sort of toxicity I'm afraid. :weedpoke: Lower leaves are turning crispy from tips inward. When I touch'em they crumble...kinda wanna smoke em, as I've no smoke...:( Could be Mag or Zinc? I'm disappointed: they smell the most potent. I still don't know what they are for sure, but they are harder to grow! I have them separated from the others on account of the possibility of it not being a nute toxicity, but a fungal/pest thing. I've never had luck w/ flushing, it always shocked the shit outta 'em...course, water was cold & unfiltered & contained chlorine...

yea mullet- I think cool tube or otherwise air cooled lights are quickly becoming an eventuality for me, as watts & temps grows in direct proportion to plants.

Fred- Haven't checked your log for pics of transplant yet, hope it went well. Hope I find some!

Am seriously considering LSTing, cuttings, & sexing, all in preparation for>>>>:yippee:<<<<<<<< Scrog! So, both directly following and contrary to GFog's advice.

Thanks for cruising by my grow all.

...1st 2 pics are healthier, BB plants. 2nd 2 are all a different, unknown but simular strain judging from smell, appearence, and disease. [all have same condition.]

...then theres my handful of LIFE!!

Sounds great Rev! I dig the worms too.

I did my transplant and all went well, however I just don't have the space and had to put them in pots that were much smaller then I had wanted. I just didn't want to risk it any longer and could not wait till I found the sex, so hopefully they will not hate me after 7 more weeks or so.

Either case, looks like we are both on our way. Sounds odd, but I have a bit of a feel for them now. From the 6, I think 4 of them are females. This is my first grow, but it is just a hunch.

Best to you and keep up the good work!

Peace from Praha!

Been Lsting my plants. The leggier ones under the 250w mh seem to be taking well to it. Also their rusting problem cleared up after a dose of epsom salts. Their lateral growth went crazy, the canopy filled in nicely and I'm thinking of putting a screen in soom.

The bushier ones under the 400 w mh are even more bushy now, to the point that I think it might be a problem. Was thinking of switching them to an HPS, 24/7 to leg them out a bit.There are just so many branches I can barely reach in there to make any tiedowns. was also thinkin about taking off all the tiedowns and lettin them shoot up. Also might just scrog em.

The bushier ones were becoming a milky green, loosing their color between the veins on all new growth, incl. lateral...-sulphur def??-. after epsom salts now all but one are fine. The one thats still f*&(ed also has this funny drooping thing going on. want to flower soon I think.


see pics.
