HiPro's first grow log!

Something funny.....

Two of my plants have grown an enormous amount of leaves and so became a little heavy. I needed to give support to their stems so this is what I used....lol

Ever eat chinese food? You know those sticks that the terriyaki chicken and terriyaki beef come on? Well I used one of those sticks for the two plants. (after giving them a good cleaning of course) Here comes the kicker....I wanted to use something to tie them onto the sticks without harming them or their growth....well, my five year old has this cheap, novelty toy, it's a hand, miniature hand that is, made of this gooey, sticky material that if you slap it against something it sticks...a hardened version of "slime" if you will. I used that. It worked. The material doesn't dig into the stem and is flexible, very flexible. It's also sturdy and stretchy. I had to do this some days ago and the plants have had no problems so far....lol....Peace.

haha, i've never heard of that technique...

love, kp:p

Quick Update:

Crystal is on her 15th day of forced flowering. She is an incredible 32inches tall and has 23 bud spots/flowers forming. So far they aren't too big, but there are all kinds of white hairs which look nice. Anyone know when the resin glands begin to form? The biggest buds are on the main stem at the top and the middle nodes but besides that they all seem to being growing at the same rate.

Jody- At day 28 I am going to begin forcing Jody. She's already got some preflowers and she's 13inches tall. I don't want her to turn out too huge. Again this is head space so yield isn't the most important thing to me, just healthy growth.

Pics to follow tonight.

I've germinated one HP13 seed and it has cracked but hasn't shown much of a tap root yet so I'm going to hold off on planting it.

My transplanted Nevilles seem to be doing real well since their move....I'm lucky not to have killed them all. I will transplant my 2 other babies today, maybe...lol

Olivia has grown up very nice but she's starting to scare me a bit....she's growing like a male, but after all the abuse I put her through as a sprout I half expected it. I'll hold out until she matures of course, but I'm not holding my breath. Weird things are happening to her too. The leaves on one fan leaf curve down, like an upside down canoe. She has plenty of water and her ph is fine. What could be causing this? She's got 5 sets of true leaves and she's 28 days old but I haven't given her nutes because she was so stunted. Should I? Any advice is appreciated. (The tiniest little yellow spots showed up on one fan leaf as well.)

Sophie is my beauty. She's bushy and beautiful. Her leaves are nice and green with no blemishes. I'm not sure how tall she is but she is a wide momma. Can't wait until she matures.

Peace!

Bump...

Ok, broke down this morning and ordered a T5 6 bulb grow light. It supposedly emits a whopping 30,000 lumens. I'm hoping this will compliment my HID's. If not, I suppose I can use it for my seedlings and future clone attempts. I've seen others on here who have had success with it, but any advice is greatly appreciated. Peace.

Quickie Update:

Transplanted the last of my Neville's haze today and it went well.
I have yet to transplant my baby Afghani but she's still working on her 2nd set of leaves so I'll wait til she's finished.
Planted one of the HP13 beans just now.
Germinating the remaining two beans today.
Still waiting on my Safari Mix and my other beans from the good Dr. (day 9 of waiting by the mailbox and nothing so far)

i'm sure they'll be there soon...

i'd go ahead with the feeding now (1/4 strength) what nutes are you using? can't wait for the pic update... i just uploaded some of mine in the godbud link...

love, kp:p

Hey Kindprincess! What do you think about the fish emulsion? Is that a good fert to use. I used the odorless with Crystal and she seemed to like it. Let me know what you think! Checking your log right away! Peace!

fish emulsion is great stuff! what is the npk value?

Ok...phew...thought I was doing something wrong...the NPK is 2, 4, 0.5, seems a bit low on Nitrogen so what do you recommend to supplement that? Thanks in advance and as always Peace!

hmmm, sounds like a flower nute... i know someone is probably going to flame me for this but oh well... i use miracle grow all purpose for garden veggies in veg (24, 8,16) at half strength, my babies grow like miracles! just make sure you start at 1/4 strength with it if you use it... full strength can burn...
