Shov's Autumn 2009 Grow

[bluntpasser]

bravo shov. How much water are you giving the nevilles haze each watering? 40 oz, 1/2 g??

[Shovelhandle]

how much water? Well they just got transplanted into larger vessels so I'll have to see how the uptake is. Once the roots get to filling in (in two weeks) I'd guess that each 3.5 gallon pail could use a quart ever other day increasing to 2 quarts as they mature. I like to see the pail pretty much use all the water in 2-3 days. Right now the pails are all saturated, with a small root ball and it could take 4-5 days to dry out. I'll add nutes at that time, first wetting down the soil with plain water then the nute solution. I got to get to the grow store, run out of some nutes and suppliments.

Thanls for the reply, Bub.

I have other cooling options but my schedule is to flip 11/24 and I have limited room so this light should sustain good growth for less energy.

I've spent a good few minutes mystified by what this sentence meant. I was about to ask when it dawned on me... we don't write the date like that so I was thinking that figure was your planned light cycle and that, obviously, didn't make any sense.

But I've got it sorted now so no worries :thumbsup:

OH, it's me causing the confusion, as usual.

I don't know really when I'll flip 'em. I was going to wait until I came back from the trip (and the plants have been in the dark for five days). Or I may just flip them earlier. It isn't the ideal situation, with a long flowering sativa that's into it's ninth week and some hybrids (one very indica dominant) that are into the fifth week and not quite mature yet.

Cropped at the third node, trimmed the first node branches leaving two pairs of main branches. And now the twin apials have been FIMed and LSTed. The stain on the sun leaves are from foliar feeding weeks ago.

These are a little over 30 days since planting. No trimming, yet.

Same age as the last ones.

Thanks for looking.

I'm a bit confused at the best of times Shov, but I usually get there in the end.

Plants all look nice and healthy and your nh look mighty bushy. I gave up on sativa doms at home in the name of efficient production. Still miss them but I can't produce enough to meet my needs so it's skunks, affies and ruderalis indica.

All the best for flowering,

sara.

As the plants grow and take up a bigger footprint I decided to go back to the 400W MH. The ambient temp is around 72-74º so the canopy temp can be kept under 84º with one fan. When I change to blossom time I'll have to use the T-5s for side lighting, at least until some males thin out the plot. Today I also gave them nutes and a foliar feed.
