First Grow: Jack the Ripper under a Procyon

p.s. whats the neem oil for if you dont mind me asking?

this is my first grow, actually, so i have nothing to compare my results to... I'm basically just trying to get as good a result or better as WhiskeyTango/Doughboy (SnSStealth)'s first grow, especially with the added CFLs.

The neem oil is for spider mites. Makes the plants extra sticky, from what I understand, and makes them unattractive to pests.

Thanks for the kind words :rastasmoke:

update?

god you people are sooo needy ;)

Sorry been busy at work the last few days, barely even had time to tend to the girls... looking good, gave em some misting with the neem oil last nite. gonna give em one more pyretheum spray tonite bc it looks like the bugs have slowed, but somethin is still munchin these plants.

WT when do you start with your ferts after transplanting into FFoF? I've got my 5 leaf nodes, so theoretically they should be good, but I dont wanna over do it w whats already in the FFoF.

oh, and do you think i should bother trying with LST? these things look like they grow pretty bushy anyway... though i dont know if its the strain, the led+cfl, or both. :wtf:

heres some pics

if you want to LST....i would only do 1 or 2 of them...unless you make a big ass screen...lol, let em go i say....they look mighty happy though!!! good shit

Sooo curiosity got the better of me. Put on the 2 Y adapters I bought way back when and shoved in two more 26w bulbs. Now running 204 watts of LED and CFL. Bozo, this bowl's for you :stoned:

Also decided since the plants are 4 weeks old they could do with some fertilizin. Gave em 1 tbsp of Big Bloom in 1 gallon of water.

:jointsmile:

:D

they look beautiful. so I would grow them big befor I flowered them.
loven the looks of the grow cab also.:thumbsup:

Gave another pyretheum spray this morning. With some neem oil every couple weeks, these girls should be bug proof now :thumbsup:

Theyre getting friggin big--except poor little number nine... who i have a theory on. When i transplanted into the Ocean Forest, the roots were VERY not happy/healthy looking in that shit Hyponex potting soil. So it was probably easier for the bigger plants to bounce back whereas the little one had to start from scratch, almost.


Noticing some weird qualities to the new leaves on two or three plants... not sure if its the heat stress mentioned by the Bible. 78F, 46% in there. CFLs are 12" away, the Procyon 15". is this just because the leaves are new or is this something i should be worried about?

hey haven't checked back on this log in a while but those ladies are looking healthy and strong. I'm really not seeing anything weird with the leaves from those pics. and I like the Y adapters, I think they'll do their part even if it doesn't make a huge difference.

keep up the good work, and Lst if you want but I'd wait to see if ya have the space. your call though man.

take it easy

i agree wit mr goodmorning those leaves look fine to me other then that every thing looks good
