New and Improved: Featuring Sour Northern Lights x Nevilles Haze

[dragonrider]

Hey, Daihashi, I never checked your log before because I don't grow, but I saw your recent post over in Politics and had to come check the log out. Very nice by the way, especially considering the natural disasters and everything else! I just wanted to say that after reading the last two weeks, I've got a better understanding of a few things.

Take care of yourself. Good luck with the grow! AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HOUSE!!!

I just wonder how big these plants would be if they didn't miss out on a week of light. They look so good now. I may go ahead and veg these out to 6 weeks. I still don't have alternating nodes despite starting the 6th/7th set of leaves/node.

Either way I'm pleased with the health and appearance of my plants. This one will become a beautiful mother.

:thumbsup:

Hey I have several plants right now that are 8,9 or more nodes and still don't have any preflowers or alternating nodes, don't know if it's good or bad? I guess I don't care though, I am sure they are still young, about the same as yours minus the hurricane shit.
Your plants look great, they are really compact, I wish mine were more like that.
Did you trim or take any low growth off any plants? Just wondering, your plants look pretty, nice broad fat green leaves! :thumbsup:

That's odd, most plants usually show alternating nodes after 4 nodes, but to be fair my plants are only 3 weeks old and sometimes it takes up to 6 weeks to show sex.

I haven't trimmed the plants at all. I've left them all intact with damaged leaves and all. The mother plant shown in the close up pics suffered virtually no damage; just the first set of leaves got kind of soft (tissue soft like) and lost some of it's color. However those leaves are still there and still absorbing light. I saw no need to remove it.

I am very pleased with my plant growth.

They are starting their 6th/7th nodes on the biggest plants.

I honestly believe I owe the health of my plants due to the Canna Coco and nutrient line that I am using. They do not steam their coco to process it; when you steam coco like many coco suppliers do you end up with Nitrogen Nitrate; which is toxic to plants. They use another process that is RHP certified that eliminates this and puts something beneficial into (I have it in some documentation that canna only hands out to it's distributors; I left it at my apartment and I'm at my new house now).

Day 24 Veg

8ml Canna Coco nute A
8ml Canna Coco nute B
6ml CalMag
ph 5.9
6 oz of water

I didn't feed to run off as I was trying to use the rest of what I had left in my last gallon I made.

Tonight or tomorrow morning I will flush the plants and give them a light feeding.

Probably Sunday I will transplant most of the plants into 2 gallon containers.

I think 2k will be fine; it's not that far off from 2100k. I loved that bulb I used but if I had to do it again I think I would mix in like 3-4 23 watt 6500K CFL's. It would create some denser buds with the mix.

That's just me though; I loved that bulb and want to try to find another ultra red with some decent blue spectrum mixed in as well.

In case anyone was wondering I had recommended a bulb to WT, a 2100K HPS bulb I used in flowering on my last grow... the model number was LH400 and I believe is made by GE, but a number of manufacturers relabel it as their own; including the bulb I used which was made by philips.

Let me know how it works out for you. It should be very nice supplementary light to your LED's.

Quick update. Last 2 days I've fed with the following:

12ml Canna Coco Nute A
12ml Canna Coco Nute B
6ml Calmag
PH'd 5.7-5.8
8-10oz of water each plant


One of my plants, the one that i dropped two times in less than a 5 minute interval, does not look heathy. As a matter of fact I doubt it will recover. I am contemplating tossing it out since it is obviously so stressed out.

Let this be a lesson to you all. Drop your plants from 5 feet in the air and you're sure to shock the root system and plant. I am sure the root system took the brunt of the shock since I dropped it on the pot and not on the plant itself. The medium had been severely disturbed and I tried to pack it all back together.

Plants don't like to be dropped.. lol :hippy:

So I moved the cabinet, plants and lights over to the new house. I had to pull apart the cabinet in order to transport it. Which means that the plants will not receive light during their normal 18 hours (well 14-15 hours. They were in their light period when I tore down the grow area.)

I finally got to bed around 4-5am, woke up at 7am to drag my ass to work. I'll put the cabinet together ass soon as I get home and try to put them back on their normal photoperiod. 1 day without light won't force them to sex, which is my primary concern since I'm trying to save a mother plant.

On the upside however I think I'll be able to start flowering very soon. I need to build out an area. I'm going to get a 600 watt hps on order as well as some panda film. I figured instead of building a cabinet I'll just build a frame and Panda it up!!!

I will probably need an additional fan as well as build a carbon/kitty litter scrubber for the room. My veg area will be in my closet with a panda film curtain to stop light from leaking through to the flower area. I will also install green lights so I can go into the grow area during it's lights off period.

I will post pictures of the room before and after I build it out. I'm hoping to spend NO MORE than $1k on equipment, I think I'l be able to come out under $600.

More updates to come, and the plants will restart their regular schedule tonight.
