here we grow again...........
ok got my temps way down using a glass shield everything is ready.
we have here 7 primo bag seed, i germed 8 but 1 didnt make it out so good odds anyhow.
our cab is 34"W 20"D 42"H, dual 150watt hps bulbs, 250CFM inline fan, reflectix covering,and a glass heat shield.
i will LST this grow so ill try to show how it is done as it is very easy to do and you still keep the mighty main cola.
stay tuned this thread will be updated almost daily :jointsmile:

thanks it was a old dresser no one was using, a few mods and a front door and we have a nice usable grow chamber :)

here we grow again...........
i noticed some small yellowing going on so i started them on cal-mag plus which has 2.0.0 in it so they get a tiny dose of nitrogen every watering, they will be on calmag until harvest.
other than that everything is going great no stretching at all using the hps during veg you just have to keep it close :jointsmile:

Why? Straight water. No nutes. Just water. For the next 2 weeks, at least. I'd recommend for 3 weeks, at least.
Why does just about EVERYONE growing in dirt fertilize their babies till they shrivel & die? Look at these dirt girls: http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=93029 There has been no fertilizer at all used there. I'm not starting nutes (organic) till next week.
If you're growing in soil, NEVER fertilize till your first set of 5 fingered leaves are fully developed. Hydro nute rules DO NOT apply to dirt. More babies die from overfertilization in dirt than any other cause. Overwatering comes a close 2nd.
Blä. Soory, not yer fault. (Well, yes it is!) Just tired of seeing so many burnt or waterlogged babies.

dude calmag is made start to finish it cannot burn if used right.

In this first thread, the 5 week flower coala grown from seed was started on nutes at 2 weeks and in the second thread, all of the clones directly under the light started low amount of nutes at 1 1/2 weeks after rooting.

I don't use the Cal Mag all the way threw, for the fact that for about the last 2 weeks I want almost no N so the plant can use up it's stored N.

not much of a update really, i guess i gave up on that 8th seed to quick as i noticed she finally came up 5 days later.
anyways gave them some water and a misting to keep it humid as possible, they are nice and compact so far except the late bloomer, so far so good. :D
-
here we grow again...........
that glass shield is really working out for me, the air coming out the cab feels almost the same of the room so when i get the 465CFM hooked up i can upgrade my bulb to a 250watt.
they are doing great nice and green very compact with no stretching like i had last time with the HPS, i have them about 10in from the lights so this is probably the biggest difference from last time.
-
here we grow again...........
here we are about 10-12 days old, seems they dried out a bit to long the cups dont hold much water at all.
i transplanted them into 8" round pots tonight hopefully once the root system gets going all will be well.
here a few pics
-
here we grow again...........
They're looking mighty dry, man? How far is your light? 10" still? Maybe that's a little too close for them being it is such a hunk of a light! :)
How often are you watering?
Got any of that first bud left? Still got your Christmas stash? ;)
:rastasmoke:

-
here we grow again...........
nope no bud left of that, yeah i really neglected it this weekend just too much going on with Christmas around the corner i fudged up.
oh well all will be better soon, they are a bit lower now maybe 12" plus with bigger pots it will be easier to monitor the water.
-
here we grow again...........
all the plants are recovering well some are already growing again, some pics for ya :rasta:
-
here we grow again...........
Looks like they're happy in their new pots. I can't wait for the LST'ing to begin, i have such a hard-on for plant bondage lol. I tried it on my first grow and the results were (are, haven't harvested yet :)) fucking amazing.
-
here we grow again...........
i love the LST look makes me feel all warm inside lol
i can already see 8 plants just isnt going to work out but hopefully i can make it to preflowers before i toss some.
-
here we grow again...........
everything is going real nice now they are in the big pots, very dense nodes almost time to start the LST maybe in a week or so, i got my new fan its a 600CFM cage fan and can this thing blow some major air, once this is installed i will never worry about temps ever again.
-
here we grow again...........
nice m8! havent read it but looked at the pics and they look gd
-
here we grow again...........
Keep up the good work and remember to keep them green.
-
here we grow again...........
have u noticed how they never make much progress?, take a pic, examin the plant every day, u think it has grown a little but then u look at the pic from a few weeks ago and realise its like twice the size lol
-
here we grow again...........
sorry ^^^ tryin to get my posts back up to 7 per day average...
-
here we grow again...........
its on 6.97 lol, i finished
-
here we grow again...........
seems they have grown so much over the last few days its amazing, things are going to get a bit crowded over the next few weeks i can see.
-
here we grow again...........
christmas night is here :)
i had to stop using my tap water as it really sucks and switched to just distilled which worked awesome last time, im going to start my LST tomorrow as things are getting crowded.
some pics from tonight :pimp:
-
here we grow again...........
looks good
my plants are almost at the exact stage as you, i planted dec 5. ill get pics and make a log, anyways, just wondering, do any of yours have pre flowers yet?
all 3 of my ladies which are growing amazing (except, one leaf on the tip got some nute burn i belived and its really recovering)...but all 3 have ore flowers, and theyre getting bigger every day.
-
here we grow again...........
i havent really checked for preflowers yet i was battling my hard water and it was making me get a MG lockout so i had to figure out what to do but i have all that covered now.
hopefully i can sex them very soon as its going to get pretty crowded in there withing 2-3weeks and norrow it down to 4 plants.
i have another cab ready to rock if i get more than 4 females :)

here we grow again...........
retied them down they grew almost 2inches in a day....damn,heres a few close ups to show what the LST does, you open up bottom growth to have a bunch of tops, with proper training all the cola's will be the same height.
then a few more of the cab and then group shots, they are 3weeks old.
-
here we grow again...........
hmmm i am begging to think no one likes me :(
maybe my plants are ugly?
maybe im ugly?
damn........

Hey, Invision. Nice looking plants, man. I like the LSTing. I'm beginning to think that mine are the only ones LST'd the way they are. Everyone else does it your way...but 'I' do it differently. Still works tho, they just turn into Y's. :D
'I' top them and then spread their branches out and pull out any side shoots. Ya know what I mean? I have a real good pic of one in the Cab of Life that is turning out to be real nice. I believe it has 6 tops...from one topping.
The mother we have also was LST'd that way and you can see the Y shape in the pictures.
Anyway, I'm glad you got this grow underway now. Looking forward to more updates, man.
I'm gonna respond to your other comment in my thread in a minute.
Be cool.

well my cab isnt complete yet i still have to add my 600CFM fan but its so freaking heavy, litterly this should have come with a warning " CAUTION THIS BITCH IS HEAVY" it has to be 20-25lbs.
-
here we grow again...........
Haha. yea. Tell me about it. I hear ya. Mount it safely, man. Do you use any weather stripping or anything to reduce vibrations?
TGF
-
here we grow again...........
i havent gotten that far yet i forgot to get the flange with it, it shouldnt vibrate too much its rather quiet for all the air it pumps.
tho i may consider getting some just incase i dont want to be flustered and stuck in a jam at the very end.
-
here we grow again...........
Your last grow was awesome to watch Invision and I'll be glued to this one as well. I'm just starting to try lst on my first plant so I'm learning from you along the way. I'm afraid to bend em over the way you do so Ive been pulling her over a little each day.
Anyway looking forward to watching your Grow 2.0. BTW, that 600cfm is a very powerful fan...you might want to look into a fan speed controller so you can dial it down to a good level.
-
here we grow again...........
dont be afraid i take them right down to the dirt they are very flexible, yesterday one of the plants was invading space of another so i had to swing her a new direction making her grow around the pot, so she is bent in 2 spots at 90 degree angles.
-
here we grow again...........
everything is still going very nice, they are growing quickly now cant wait until i flower them :jointsmile:

here we grow again...........
i just took 8 clones for sex, im trying this water cloning gig i didnt think it worked but the results were great from what i have read from many people.
so in about 2 weeks i should know the sex of my plants :)

Agreed. I bend mine up 90° "all the time". Ya can do this all the way through the first week or so of bud. I'm currently turning one stretching plant into a compressed "Z". Water the plant heavilly 2 hours before, tho. I learned the hard way that a tall, dry plant can snap its stalk clean through.

It works. Just a "stick in a jar".

Hey invision, nice looking grow man! I wish I had nodes as dense as that, maybe next time. I don't think your plants are ugly, though that one in the back right corner doesn't look as happy as the rest of them.
Those bubbling water cloning contraptions look interesting. So do the wick cloners I've read about here. I'm thinking about building one of those next time I cut any clones so I'm going to watch your progress here.
edit: Oh, are you just sticking cuttings in water and changing the water or something?! I just read Volker's posts.
I like this photo I took of a bendy plant: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...5970062&size=l ... I have tied some branches down to the dirt like you said and they were fine.
Keep updating, I'll be following your progress too!
-canuck :jointsmile:

here we grow again...........
hey canuck,
i know which plant your talking about without even looking, for some reason that plant has always hated me, i hope my cuttings take root it would be kinda nice to throw in some females inplace of the males even if they do end up being smaller.
