My 1st/2nd/3rd Grow Log

[Jerry Garcia 2007]

Butchie,

You are at about the same point in your grow as my second and I experienced the same thing when adding mollases my last watering. I had to flush in my second watering. I didn't start using it till I read up on it whe I was much further along in my first grow and it was amazing how they responded. The information I got was from the thread in plant nutrition "mollases the miracle additive" ( do a google search "mollases marijuana growing") plus a thread I ran and the recommendations was it was benifical for both veg and flower. Well it obviously is not during early veg.
Sorry for giving advice before seeing results

"Lesson learned"

Nice lookin' nuggs there my friend :jointsmile:

[ButchieYost2001]

Well, the tale of the tape is in: A total of 84 grams (DRY!) for the one plant!! After all my f***-ups I still got this, makes me want to improve everything I have been doing!

CHEERS!!!!

[ButchieYost2001]

So in my flower cab, I have moved the plants(3) and lights (2x400w hps)over a bit and added a 250w MH. Reasoning, trying to get maximum spectrum in the box. Any questions or comments? PLEASE!!!!

Pic 1 - front door view
Pic 2 - top view, need stronger stems, any advice(other than a fan!)
Pic 3 - 3 almost done, more it moves to the right, the closer it is to harvest!
Pic 4 - down the line
Pic 5 - puttin on weight!

[ButchieYost2001]

So, the 250MH was putting out too much heat (internal ballast), removed that and realigned the 2 400w HPS. Next, flushed the plant all the way to the right, it is next to be cut down, will flush for a week. And so on down the line.
I also noticed that the newcomers to the flower cab were stunted, flushed, waited and repotted from 2 gal pots to 5 gal buckets. Havent used 5 gal buckets before, should I expect considerably more growth that 3 gal buckets?

LOTS of pics but they all suck! Maybe I will take some more tomorrow and post them...

Okay, maybe 1: 8 random bagseeds from different people, its gonna be a pot pot-luck!

And 2: the girl thats getting chopped next week

[ButchieYost2001]

Since my last post my bagseeds have had a nice jump in size
Pic 1 - seedlings on the 9th
Pic 2 - seedlings today
Pic 3 - today
Pic 4 - today
Pic 5 - and again today

Next post transplant progress

[ButchieYost2001]

I havent worked with seeds (educatedly) in many years.... when should I ad nutes? Just got Fox Farms 3 part, wanna see what the fuss is all about!!

[ButchieYost2001]

I could not be any happier to see these girls progress. The switch from 2 gal pots to 5 gal buckets is allowing for sooo much more growth, to the point they are already taller than the 3 I am getting ready to cut down. A good 4 - 5 inches of growth, maybe more, in a few days! Future refernece, if you have the room....USE 5 GALLON BUCKETS!!!!

Hey Butchie,

Nice job!! Can you tell me about your set-up? Looks like you have 2 cabinets? Where are your cabinets, garage, basement?

I also use a cabinet and I'm considering building a second box for vegetation but I'm dragging my heals because of the cost. Not only light and lumber, but ventilation and climate control cost a bunch of $$$. Here's a link to my grow log, which has pictures of the box. http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...l-cabinet.html Mine is 4' W x 2' D x 4' 10" (in the main chamber) with 600 watts of light (swap in a MH conversion during veg).
