hi guys im starting a grow log today.

seeds were free.
the rest i bargain hunted.

i germ'd 4 feminized seeds aprx.40 hours ago consisting off.
1x blue widow
3x northern lights x silver haze x kaya gold.

grow tent 60x60x140
600w hps son t bulb i plan on usuing this from now until harvest
humidifier
clip on fan(for light)
oscilating fan for air movement
intake is a fan blowing through the bottom vents
outtake i have ducting but have made fan movement upwards so it vents out the ducting works very well.

right so heres the 1st pictures...
the blue widow is the one in the smallest black pot.

hi everyone one well heres my next update,its only some pictures to show progress in growth over the last 4 days....
i will be changing pots in a week or so id say..and ive also decided to use AIR POTs for my last re-pot in my grow so will be giving detailed infomation as to how good or bad they are.

(touch wood)
at the moment all is well ph is 6.2 temps are 28c lights on 19c lights off.
no nutrients have been given as its in the soil already and i dont plan on feeding untill i flower these in 15 days making my veg time 20 days if growth stays like this,as i have another 2 big haze plants ready to flower with this as the air pot test....


pics taken lights off.will be watering tonight with a ph'd water of 7.8 usuing liquid silicone.
last pic is plant to be flowered with these.

1x blue widow
3x indicas (nlxhazexkaya gold)

**2 bigger plants werent intended for this grow but they are now**(nlxhaze)
ive got a indica thing going on here lol these 2 plants are 1 month old from seed.

so im a week into this grow log and you can see the progress/stages....do you think growths fast enough?
do they look healthy?
OPINIONS please:)

i no the blue widow looks abit twisted but this is probably because of the compost(westlands with added john innes)?

ive started on a budget here,but once it comes to the flowering stage im stepping it up as ive ended up with 7 plants to flower.
so ive ordered a bigger tent (1.2 1.2 2m)1000hps sont t bulb,carbon filters and ruk fans.im exited :D

2 bigger plants are being fed cana A and cana B quarter strength plus every 7 days some big buds nutes 1 tea spoon per 500ml
ph going in is 7.2 coming out 6.2 6.5 (stood tap water)
soil test comes back as green which indicates neutral my last test was very low in the 5s so i think im improving my skills.

so heres the pics taken just as the lights came on.:jointsmile:

new equipment came today so im going to be flowering my 3 biggest plants.
northern lights X haze:)
tents big enough for all 7 of my babys now..other plants im vegging for another 15 days;)

new equipment

secret jardin tent
ruck intake fan with carbon filter
new diamond reflector and 1000w hps son t bulb

had a nightmare with the tent it wouldnt fit in my attic room due to the curved roof:mad:the tents huge!!!
so ive had to use the spare room in my house for this grow until i get a smaller tent silly mistake :D

lets just hope these flower without anymore hassle my hairs falling out with stress!!!

have i installed my filter and fan correctly as i had no instructions?
also i dont have an intake the tents just in a small room will this be ok?
i have a fan in the tent though

is there anybody out there to help me with this as ive posted a few times with no intrest?
shall i carry on or just quit my log?
anyone?
dont forget this is my 1st grow
thank you:thumbsup:

A passive intake will be just fine. :thumbsup:

What is the size of the tent, CFM size of the fan, and CFM rating of the filter? The filter looks a little small which means it will work but will run out of steam faster.

For starters, shorten that duct as much as possible so that the duct is as straight as possible. That bend puts a good deal reduces fan efficiency. Passive intake from the bottom of the tent is fine. Otherwise it looks good.

plants now in tent ready to come on at 8am off at 8pm:)
im not running it through the night due to noise

CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute. It may be something different given that you use the metric system. The fan needs to move enough CFM to totally exchange the air in the room every 3 - 5 minutes. Every 5 minutes is fine. You need to calculate the volume of the room and divide by 5 (minutes) to get the CFM rating needed. At 20 - 30% to account for the length of the duct, bends, the filter, and any other drags on the fan. Get the fan size and then match it to a filter. Filters also have CFM ratings. Over estimate your filter needs by 15%. If you want to do the math properly you will find a useful link in my signature.

I'm asking b/c the filter looks a bit on the small size. It will likely work fine but with a shorter life. Similarly, over estimate the filter size and you get more life out of your filter (within reason).

Start those nutes at 1/4 strength and work your way up.

Good luck!

appreciated camo,the blue widows in pic 5 shes the biggest already.slight discoloured bottom leaves but its from the soil with added nutes i guess as i had it on most of my plants.

i plan on doing a full grow log as i need all the help i can get from you peeps out there.
o and id just though id let yas now that my good freind who breeds has some G-13 and purple haze clones for me to pick up but only if i prove i can grow and get to the end of this !
damnnnnnnnnn purple haze its rare if that dank ever comes onto the market.:stoned:

started feeding today biobizz bloom 2ml per litre of water.
i also pulled of the leaves that were yellowing badly (old growth)

day 4 of flowering.
the smallest plant seems to be staying small,but is producing pre-flowers.
it has been my testplant and has been stunted but you never no with these slower growers it could turn out good so its staying till the end.

pics were taken 2 hours after lights on.
if my pics arent up to scratch any tips on how to improve them?

they smell so sweet and peppery:D

any way feel free to comment thanks

:) Looks like you've got things chugging along nicely.
Its great isn't it when you can start smelling them?!

yea the smell is just addictive,nothing compares to the smell of MJ:)

heres a few pics on my other plants vegging.2 weeks old
these plants are in a small tent with a 400w hps

i re-potted last night into big air pots for there final home.
the airpots are brilliant the speed of growth is easily noticable so :thumbsup:

as you can see the BLUE WIDOW (biggest) is coming on very nicley she has a light blue stem:thumbsup:and stinks already.

the other indicas are comeing on nicely to....
nlxsilver haze and kaya gold
i plucked the yellowing leaves on 3 of these and they seem to off liked it and are focusing on growth instead of keeping the tatty yellow leaves that discoloured due to the compost with slow nutes.

i will definetley be cloning this widow i may even mother it as its growing amazingly,what a super plant so far shes beautifull.

anyway heres the pics to show my progress.

PIC 3 AND 4 IS THE BLUE WIDOW:)

WHAT A NIGHTMARE IVE HAD TODAY!!
1ST MY TIMER BREAKS ON THE FLOWERING PLANTS THEY GAINED AN EXTRA HOURS LIGHT WILL THIS BE OK?

THEN MY VEG TENT LIGHT EXPLODES!!!!
SO IVE HAD TO PUT THE PLANTS IN MY FLOWERING TENT SO I GUESS THEY CAN STAY THERE NOW?OR DO YOU THINK THEY LOOK TO YOUNG TO FLOWER?

:mad:

day 5 of flowering

the plants that suffered the cock up on the light schedule seemed real droopy today:(
wether thats the problem i dont no?
but they were also due watering and they do seem to have perked up from before as they looked life less.(droopy leaves and stems)

so lets see what happens..........

all my plants are in flowering now due to my 400w hps veg tent light deciding to break:( so ive had to flower them earlly at 18 days old

im feeding them every water with bio bizz bloom.as stated on the back of the bottle.

pic 4 is the blue widow

You can put them 12/12 even from seedlings. No problem. Effects on yield only.

Because you don't need help at the moment, everything is fine. Questions are simple and you can easily dig up answers from somewhere around here. Another thing is, most viewers are not registered members, they just read.
That's why you don't get answers easily.

Even if you stopped logging, keep up good work :thumbsup:

ah finally some words from a wiseman!:thumbsup:
thanks

Grow logs tend to be pretty quiet,..... Things look good here. I'm along for the ride ;)

If they're all girls I'd wager about .5 oz dry each Blue Widow looks nice and healthy! I've gotta try that cross some day. :jointsmile:

A quiet grow log means you are doing it right. No one feels the need to weigh in. Keep reading and posting. We're all interested.

Yep, i'm along for the ride as well. Wouldn't stress too much bud, things look ok. ya these logs are pretty quiet, if you have a specific question and want people's opinions post in the Plant Problems area, worked for me :jointsmile:

thanks for the messages people:thumbsup:

right so its 7 days into flowering,the plant thats been the strongest and fastest grower has started to show its sex :) nlxhaze

they have developed a pattern and tell me when then want feeding by drooping;) which is every 3 days,then once watered perk right back up.

im wondering weather i should try to water and catch them before they droop
because if this causes stress they'l hermie right?

pic 3 is the blue widow shes growing so good,and all the others have sized up too,which is nice to see considering they have to go into flowering so earlly.
loads of bud sites developing....................

the 2 big plants have so much space at the top im hoping it will fill with a nice big cola.

today after abit of research i decided to tuk all the big fan leaves in to get more light to the bud spots on the 2 oldest plants,as cutting them at this stage is a big no no unless there yellow and are going to drop of there selves anyway.

each plant has around 10 bud sites which is good for its size really,plus loads of tight nodes inbetween all the branches.:thumbsup:
and i can see flickers of thc forming on the leaves.

i also confirmed 4 out of 7 females so far the rest are yet to show there sex:cool:

hi people,
today on one of my plants,the smallest test plant.
i found a ball like pod which i picked off and discarded? now were the ball thing was theres just a pod it was sat in?
is this a hermie or was it making a seed?
the plant does have female pistols?

any info asap please

thanks:thumbsup:
