getting my new light and some big bloom fert today.

first time grower and im stumped
Another tip. Most plants love to be watered then given a chance to dry out a bit. I bet you if you only watered when you stuck your finger in the soil and it was almost dry she would grow a bit faster.

got a big problem. last night the light hanger broke and the lights fell on my plant and kinked it just up from the bottom leaves. i taped it and proped it up with a cig pack. will it recover.
-
first time grower and im stumped
Depends on the kink and exactly where it is, and how bad it is. You need pics up here now of the damaged area, what's below it and what's above.

first time grower and im stumped
i will take a pic and post it. i dont want to remove the tape becouse it is helping to support it i think. i just removed the empty cig pack that i was using to help prop it up a couple min ago, it is standing on its own right now. it has grown about 1 1\2 inch's overnight. and it has flowered alot since i put the new fert in it yesterday. the new fert i got is. SCHULTZ bloom builder 10-54-10. is this a good bud building fert.

[attachment=o113857]
[attachment=o113858] see close to the bottom but she is supporting herself now so she is getting stronger.

it'll be fine. lol, why do all noobs drop lights on their plants?
don't worry, it should be healed already; my lst in flower method is to "crack" the stem so the branch lies over... 4 hours later, everything is pointed upward, and the wound is healed and hard.

right on. thank you dear i was getting worried untill i got home and seen it has grown. hat to make sure thought.
no prob sweetie, anything else? she's looking good; how long has she been flowering now?
that light can be blinding sometimes. here is a nice pic of my lights. i love what the cam does to the lights. they are 42 watt flouro's
you can see some dirt from when it landed in my pot. she has been flowering for about 5 or 6 days or so give or take a day.[attachment=o113859]

starting to smell more like cannabis now then pine.
i just took some nice pics of the flower i will post them as soon as i get them on the computer.
nothin new today, just a small bit of growth
she is 9 inch's tall in her LST'ed form with 6 tops (level across the top.) i should get between 8 and 10 top colas at harvest. i hope anyways.
does anyone think 10-54-10 is a good bud builder.

if you zoom on the second 2 pics you can see some pistils.:rastasmoke:
Hey bro...I have tried decreasing times like this and someone might've read one of my posts and misconstrued it to you!:smokin: What I sais, was to change the photoperiod one hour every 2 weeks..i.e.
start veg*...16/8 for 2weeks, 15/9 until 4 weeks old, 14/10 until 6 weeks old, 13/11 until 2 months old...time to flower at 12/12
*veg. does not start when sprout pokes up. days 1 of veg count starts when plant has 4-5 alternating nodes/true sets of leaves.
now with clones...you actually veg* for only 2 weeks (again*) so the formula you posted, worked out vegging 2 weeks, then you changed photoperiod to 12/12.
I am sure many will benefit from this thread...peace:smokin:

Cool thanks. listen... a couple more things popped into my head when I read this again...
1st, when I mentioned the start of veg...for me; when I transfer from little starter pot to veg pot at least one gallon, but this time I put a seedling right into a 3 gallon..so no transplant is needed and, I must say that despite teachings to the contrary...She's looking good. The proofs in the pudding. Will have to see how she finishes.
-
first time grower and im stumped
I hope you don't go toxic with that 10-54-10. go ahead and read up on flushing...just in case. Don't freak! I am just letting you in on the next potential problen and what would be the 1st aid.
To flush a potted plant: Run correctly ph'd water through pot until at least 3-4 times the pot capacity has been flushed. i.e. if using 2 gallon pot...flush until you have gone through 6 gallons of water...In some instances of severe toxic shock, repot in quality fresh sterile or organic soil and water only...
Now you will be ready if you have a problem in the future.:smokin:

you know what. i started mine in the pot it is in now, i am going from seed to bud in the same pot under 4 42 watt cfl's. here are some pics. she is doing great. who ever said that you have to start in a small pot and transplant to a larger pot later just wanted to make things harder i think.

hey barry,
i use those same nutes by peters, its very strong so start using only 1/8th strength right now and only use it 2x a week at most.
if after a week she looks great move it to 1/4 strength and so on until you reach 50/50.
you plants look good so far but your going to need PH up using those nutes, any pet store carrys PH up in the aquarium section, its good idea to give your plants a good flush every 3 weeks or so during flower to rid of excess salts and other build up, when you flush use just plain water.

i am using the old water out of my fish tank to bring the ph up becouse my fish require a higher ph level. plus their are some great nutes in old fish water. with my nutes i have been mixing 1\4 tsp with 2 1/2 L of water. got my first big bottle gone. soon going to mix somemore. a little stronger this time i think. she is taking the nutes very well.

[attachment=o114269]this was taken at day 26 before adding nutes.
[attachment=o114270]this was taken at day 28 first day of adding 10-54-10.
[attachment=o114271]this was taken today day 30. the nutes are working and she loves them. i have not had any problems with over watering or over feeding yet. my only major problems were fucking up the light cycle causing her to flower after 20 days, and droping the light's on her and cracking her stem. aside from all that i should be ready to harvest in about 2 to 3 months, then 1 to 2 months of drying. i am going to add some pure grape extract to the plant in some water about 1 hour before i harvest so i get a nice grape flavor when i smoke.

it is 1:42 pm here on sunday jan 21st and it is day 30 of my grow. i skipped the veg stage and went from seed to seedling to flower in 20 days. she is LST'ed. she stands 9 inch's at her highest tip. if not staightened she would stand 12 inch. her highest tip isnt the two tops it is the secondary branches just below the top 2.

first time grower and im stumped
I know how you feel about the cracked stem, I just sliced the top 3" off my Northern today, lol, I felt so bad man, especially be cause wel just switched to the flower room yesterday. Things are lookin good though. The first grow is a real learning experience I find. I haven't had any major fuck ups but I do have improvements to make for next time.
So if you get a good yeild this time think of how much better it'll be next time knowing what you know.
-
first time grower and im stumped
yeah i know eh. well i am hoping for a good yeild. i have 8 to 10 tips to get colas from.

first time grower and im stumped
so what does everyone think of the pics of my forming buds.

Looks good. I just started flowing so it's kinda cool to se someone a step aheadof me to know what to expect.
