My Botanical Venture

[Technique2]

Transplanted mostly all of my plants over the last 2 days. All of the transplants went well. FWIW it will behoove me to start my seeds/clones out in much larger containers to prevent root binding.

During my transplant procedure, I noticed almost all of the plant's roots growth had been stymied, which in-turn stymied the growth of the plants. (so noted for next Grow)

Beyond that observation, all of them Dames are doing well.

Thanks for noticing bro:jointsmile:

I need to be moving towards purchasing my HPS light. It seems the oldest plants I have are wanting more of EVERYTHING. H2O, nutes, SPACE <--- critical (pot size even).

For my first grow I am taking notes of the short-comings I have experienced and how to avoid them next time. Overall, I am impressed with the progress.

Thanks again for peeking in.

Hey Technique

What kinda soil are you using?

Both of them.....The seedling and the Veg soil...

What are the nutes?

Plants are looking good bro....They are getting wide....Mine are staying like 3-4 inches wide but they all have like 5-7 nodes each....Im going to take pics on Tues.....Mine indoor ones really needed nutes.....They are all growing again...The LSTing just added to more stress the plant didnt need...I think ill keep 4 of them( I could keep all six but i think im going to transplant once more into 2.5 gallon square pots(like week 3 of flowering) .and I just started 2 white skunk seeds on friday...now just starting to grow its first set of leaves...I think im going to get some FF light warrior for these babies..Then to the bag of FFOF i bought last week....
see u soon

What's up bro? I started with this:

And recently decided to create a simple soil compound including this soil:

and this

What are the nutes?

Simple stuff, I have done EXTENSIVE research and decided that all the SPECIALTY growth serums that are out there, are just FLUFF. I am going to K.I.S.S. to avoid to many placebo effects. ( or unnecessary complexities)

Yeah they really have perked up from the transplant. I can only imagine how they will react to the FINAL transplant and the 600w HPS light that I will have set up by this week end.:thumbsup:

As it stands I now have 13 healthy plants. All I provide it what they NEED nothing more nothing less.

1. FOOD
2. WATER
3. RESPECT

looks good...I was trying to keep it simple too.....But i guess i got a little ahead of myself by trying to go organic.....maybe next time ill get it....Just a piece of advice....i tried a MG grow before.....Watch the nutes....i remember trying i think 1/2 the dose and i killed some really nice plants like 21/2 months in. Good luck thanks for the info.
see u soon.

Thanks for the Heads up. I am using these nutes at FRACTIONAL doses, and I am not using one of them AT ALL yet anyway. I plan on getting a GOOD bloom nute soon though.

My main concern now is locating a decently priced 600w or 1000w HPS setup. I want to transplant the Dames one last time then relocate them into the Flower Room.

Technique, I am glad to see your Dames doing extremely well. I agree with your simple approach to growing, and I am attempting to follow the same approach in my outdoor grow with the Freeze. I have not gone anywhere other than the mass chain stores for all of my products. I also tend to neglect my Freeze a bit, so keeping it simple helps me maintain a consistent regime.

Thanks for your pictures. I will try to update my log this afternoon or over the weekend, so you can get an idea where my Freeze is, as it seems she is about the same age, a bit older, than your Dames. I look forward to continuing to follow your log and the Dames' growth.

Take good care out there, my friend!

hey, your plants are looking definitely healthy, nice looking leaves. I am not sure if you said you were going to start the plants in larger containers on your next grows, but I do not recommend that. After reading Stinky's thread on why plants love to be transplanted, moving up in increments as you have done here, really helps promote growth. as long as you transplant when the soil is in its' dry state, it should be easy and painless and the plant will not be stunted.

good luck and yes, keeping it simple is always a good thing, I over ferted my first plant ever and almost killed it :jointsmile:

Nice growth and development.

The stems on #1 and #2 are THICK and healthy. No signs of trauma or sickness.

Here are the newest additions to the Grow:
