First Grow

Looks great! :D

I (as you know) couldn't post a couple days there due to the keyboard bath.:D

So after reading your thread I think you MAY be over watering a little. You should only water once you've dried out almost completely, but before the plant droops. It's best to allow it to droop a tiny bit and feel the weight of the pot at that time. Then in the future you can check by lifting the pot. It usually works out to about two and a half to three days between waterings.:thumbsup:

First bend looks great though. You're very close to to late to pull that off, many more nodes and that girl would have been to stiff.

Here is what my first bend looked like, then 10 days later when I tied back the new branches.

Looking at that latest pic I agree. It also looks like you have a little bit of nute burn (the dark tips on the end of those 2 lower fan leaves). As you know I don't use soil, but I would think watering less would stop that.

That was my wife's fault,... she'd been watering 2 times a day!:eek:


As for the dry tips on the very bottom leaves they are from when she was cloned,... we didn't have really ANYTHING set up when we got the plant, so low temps and humidity didn't help,... haven't had any problem with the new growth drying out.


I know I'm pushing the time limit when I could get the stem to bend, but after adding the humidifier tho she started to stretch and when I gave her a little push she just seemed to enjoy it so out came the string! :D

The new growth from today is level to the lights and the branches have started to curve around and up. I'm gonna let the "Top" stretch another day before starting to follow the outline of the pot with the main stem.

Temps are a bit on the high side again now that the lights are down so close to the floor,... lots of heat trapped in a little space.

I've gotta wait until my next paycheck to get supplies to build a proper room in the basement, so for now the closet has to do.:beatdeadhorse:

your plants look nice mines finally starting to get more leafs i see two in the process you were right about the light situation that 26 watt cfl is helpin out a lot also weitched to a 24/0 light schedual went to wally world today and couldnt find shit for splitters so im gana hit lowes up tomorrow

Man every time I go to look at her she's grown!!!:thumbsup::D

Even a couple of the new branches have branch buds on them! :jointsmile: I should have a little bush in another week and a half at this rate,... I'm gonna try and keep the canopy tied down as it grows so I don't have to move the lights up.





Nother crappy cellphone pic

And this morning the wife was complaining about the humidity in the closet!:rolleyes: I"m growing HER medicine!!!!!:wtf:

So I've opted to transplant one of the cabinets in the garage into the basement as a temporary veg room while we save $$$ to properly frame off our space and get everything squared away.




Pics to follow.;)

Shit, drank too much last night,... took a bunch of pics, but "misplaced" the camera :rolleyes:

Temps spiked pretty high after I got everything set up,... tho so far this morning everything looks OK. I'm gonna have the wife keep an eye on the temps today while I'm at work.

Actually not a bad little grow room over all.:thumbsup:

Pics are in reverse order from our old hanging mylar wrapping paper enclosure to the current set up.


I took LOTS of pics,.. and MOST of them SUCK!:mad:

Temps stayed in the upper 70's today, and humidity hovers around 60% (Drops rapidly when the doors are opened.)



This will work for a while I'm thinking.:jointsmile:

Looks great!:thumbsup: I wouldn't do that permanently, but you could likely veg it a month or more in there.

I blew up your "first" pic. Might have been the last, from what you said.:D Those lower leaves are looking much bigger now.:jointsmile:

2nd bend tonight,... curved the main stem back in towards the rim of the pot. She's got a nice "S" to her stem now! :D and she's still UNDER 6" tall:jointsmile:




I've been thinking about LST and SCROG,..... Well mainly just staring at my little girl and trying to figure out a better canopy.... and I had an idea....:weedpoke: What about putting a low screen over the plant while she's small, then LST to the screen for veg, then a 2nd screen when flowering?:hippy:


Yay? Nay? Fo0King go for it? Retard? I'm open to all opinions on that little brain fart.
