WSS, first grow(cfl), come watch !!

Hi, this is my first proper grow, hope u can all give me tips and advice etc,

My first grow using a 300 watt cfl. Growing WSS skunk feminised from amsterdam.

4 out of the five have slight yellowing, gave them nitrogen and hasnt seemed to do anything ?!? Been feeding them tap water up to 13th day then i spotted the yellow leaves so have started weak soultion of multi purpose miracle grow.

Here are my pics of them so far (2 - 12 days) -

So how many cfl's and watts/lumen's are ya using?

one 300 watt blue spectrum 10 u lamp. and its around 19500 - 20000 lumens according to the website i bought it off.

Only problem i have at the moment is the smell!! any cheap suggestions that dont involve pipes going out of windows would help me !!

Latest pics at 14 and 17 days old.

They look pretty health to me. WHat kind of soil ya using, and any ferts, how close is the light?:rasta:

you want to try get some ona blocks they work a treat man .....

the company also do sprays and gel .


there products work bio level and kill the smell rather than mask it!

Thanks f1seeds, ill def look into to getting some of their products !

The light is about 6 inches away because i wont them to grow a bit taller before i flower them so the light can penetrate right down the plant I just used normal potting soil and have used miracle grow twice but they dont seem to like it !

Started flowering today (21st day, week early) as i dont have a huge space for them to grow into but hopefully they'll make sum nice bud.

Wow those really look nice. They blow mine away. Recentlly i got more light on them, 4 26w cfl's, 7,000 lumens of light according to the box. My space is very small tho. Keep er green:thumbsup::rasta:

Well i actually started budding yesterday, doubt there will be any signs of sexing or buds for about two weeks. Am going to buy one of those odour block things although i have no money at the moment but they do look like they will work !!. May post a pic tomo with new height growth, see how i go !

PEACE

Post them pics any time Carbud, its fun to watch the progress:thumbsup::rasta:

Well day 27 and around the fourth or fifth day of flowering, can see some nice looking pistils coming through on the top nodes !!

Been giving them a weak solution of blooming nutes to encourage bud growth but will stop this 3 weeks before harvest to flush it out nicely !!

They have grown up a lot from being bushy little things !!

Day 27
[attachment=o231895]

You might be able to see the pistils if you open up full screen
[attachment=o231896]

Any advice comments appreciated !

Charbud :thumbsup:

Already see the buds starting to form and all those white pistils coming through. looks like theres about 5 budding spots per plant so should get a nice yield if all go's to plan !!

Close ups on proper camera of top bud (head).

enjoy.

Looking nice man:thumbsup:. I was wondering what size pots your using and was curious why ya didn't fill up the pots with soil? Mine are about same age, but not that tall at all. I need to get some space between my light and my plants i think:rasta:

I havent got a clue what size pots i got but they hold around 2 and a half litres of soil each i think. i dont know why i didnt fill them up to be honest, just didnt ! although recently i topped them up as some of the roots were coming through the surface !! they looked really nice strong and white though, so everythings good. My plants have shot up recently ! when i was vegging they didnt grow up much at all, just out. Now im flowering they are growing way too high !! and the light isnt even close. Just compare day 27 with day 32.

32 days and 27 i already uploaded on previous post ]

hope your enjoyin watching !!

When plants flower all of the stems stretch and sometimes youll notice a couple of inches of growth each day. A basic rule I use is that when you flower a plant, it will usually double to triple in size by the end of flower.

True, but i think ya need to get your lights down closer to the plants. They are stretching for the light and if you had hps or something, but the cfl's cant penetrate into your plants. With the light lowered and even some side lighting your buds will be more dense and bigger:thumbsup::rasta:

Light is pretty close 1.5 - 2 inches away. dont want to burn them !! and with the height issue i may have to build a new grow cuboard !!!

going to post some more bud pics tomorrow or day after. I think they have got a bit bigger

peace

grown even taller!!! but buds are getting bigger so its all goood!

Me too. Only found out about what that little black square meant a couple months after I joined, and I can't change it either. Maybe that's better anyway. Thought you might like to see some very close in age to yours. They went into flower 3 days after your girls.

gheezzz. nice setup, what lamps u running ? i just got one huge cfl !! havent got enough space etc. You have a grow log going on this site ? and btw your rep is a little green square when i see it, maybe everyone see's it as disbled ?! :stoned:

At the top of every page you will see ''user CP'', click on it and you can set up everything and see your rep. Rep. is given and taken based on your posts. You have seen those green bars to the right of peoples posts, thats rep.
When a person has more rep. then you, thy can give you positive rep. for different reasons, like good info in the post. Or, a person can give neg. rep., but iv never gave neg. rep so i guess its for a person giving bad advise or wrong info?

BTW you might try to drop lights to sides of your grow, like cfl's to help your side branches. Also, i started a CFL thread to get ideas to improve growing with them in the lighting section. Check it out, we can use any info cfl growers have:rasta:

i am no pro but i reed a lot and i think you can drop the light closer defiantly cfls they don't put off much heat at all i read 4 inches away with a fan works fine.
i have 1 300 cfl with many others and i made a dumb noob mistake of using mirrors so i don't know it all but i do know somethings about certain aspects of growing and cfls are very low temp compared to hps or mh-hid lighting. also i think you started flowering a little early. thats just me though not a fact.:jointsmile:

After your post I went looking for info on the rep thing and was able to disable the disable, if you know what I mean. I don't remember ever disabling it but I must've. Not that I care what people think of me anyway, which is a good thing as I've already been told today on this site that I'm either a douchebag or ignorant.:thumbsup: I'm running 4 600 watt HPS lamps and 2 400 watt MH lamps in my flower room, and 2 400 watt MH lamps and a 8 tube t-8 flourescent (for clones and l'il seedlings) in my veg room. I'm only running half of my flower room now as I only have 16 plants in flower. I don't really have a grow log, but I've been posting updates and photos in the indoor growing section in a thread entitled "1st grow." Check it out.

Your girls look good.

Ye i started flowering quite early because i dont have much space for them to grow into and im going to be flowering for a long time because im using one cfl so they should grow pretty big. And i moved my plants closer a couple of days ago, already can see thc crystals forming! thanks for info senorx and letsseeya

been 40 days since i germinated my seeds ! quite happy with them so far just hope these buds get huge !

40th day
[attachment=o232636]

Couple bud pics, can see thc crystals ! :stoned:

buds arent really growin that much recently. am i just being imaptient ? I have another bulb which i used to veg, would it be worth putting that on the side during the day ? I dont wake up before the light comes on and the door has to be closed during the night, would it turn them hermie if i added the light after i woke up ? and would they like the veg light anyway ?!

Mine seem to go in bursts, like I'll check 'em after 24 hours and it seems like the buds are way bigger, then they'll go 3-4 days without seemingly changing at all. If you put another light on them when your existing lights are on, I don't see a problem. Just don't put it on them while the plants think it's supposed to be dark. Whether it will do any good or not depends on what kind of light and how close you can get it. Are you feeding with a bloom fert of some kind?

The "crystals" are tricombs wich are not really crystals they are little opaque stalks with a liquid ball on the end of them, which is where most of your thc comes from. when they get milkey to amber is a good time to harvest. I would get at least a 16x hobby loop to look closer its fun and might make your mouth water cause it looks like little rain drops up close. as far as your light it looks as close as you can get it now good job man. I am in week 5 of my grow and made a couple of mistakes but adding more light during there light period will not hurt at all.:thumbsup:

senorx, completely agree with the growth spurts. Sometimes i come home and they just seem a lot bigger ! I still think they are a bit far behind compared to other flowering plants of the same time, has been about 23 days but i suppose im using cfls. Im using orchid bloom, although for orchids apparently it works for any blooming plant ?!

Tangent, can see the mushroom shaped trichomes when i look really closely and will get a light fixture for my other bulb soon as possible, sure it wont do anything abnormal because its a veg light and they are flowering ?

Thanks for replys - rep given !

I think the worst danger is that the light won't really do anything at all.

lol fair enough, i just flushed my plants cos i think they might have got nute lock because they really havent grown much recently, will go easy on the bloom in future ! will upload some more pics after the next bursts...if they come !:jointsmile:

update - 45 days and buds got a bit bigger

[attachment=o233216]

buds still look tiny compared to other grows on here...

:stoned:

I think you will be surprised. Mine just about doubled just before they were done and they look very healthy too:thumbsup:





:rasta:

The end result/yield is all in the bulb unfortunately. I would suggest a 250w to 400w next time around. MH for veg HPS for flower. I use both MH and HPS at the same time. 2 1000w lights on 12 plants. They are super bushy like your lower plants. You should look into LSTing your plants next time around.

Hey Cahrbud,

Just been checking out your grow man! they are looking Great! and nice log bye the way!

Hope you get some big buds off of those ladies!

Oh' and heres a little something for your rep :thumbsup:
