First Grow

[Vancefish]

All I can say is,.. Hope she improves, and sorry it happened. Not sure why the pest strip would have any effect though. I've done about double what you did and had no ill effects.

However I think you may like seeing this.

Once you've seen, and read that. You'll see that your girl is far from doomed. Just give her care and don't try to over compensate.

Your clones should work well too.

I'm baffled.:wtf:

Vancefish Reviewed by Vancefish on 05-16-2010. First Grow Hi All,.... Newbie to the forum, and to growing. For our first grow we've picked up a Grandaddy purple clone, Nothing too advanced ATM, will be setting up a grow room over the next couple months,... In the meantime she can veg in the bedroom or out back. Wish me luck!:smokin: Looks like I'll have to get some more posts before I can attach pics.:( More to come;) Rating: 5

Pulled mom out of the cabinet, the intensity of the light seemed to be making the chem burn progress faster, lost a couple more leaves. Also pretty crowded in the cabinet. I've got her under some normal reflector light bulbs now and the whole room will be 24-0 until the clones have roots and mom has bounced back. (Or should I put mom on the timer for 18/6? Still have 2.5 hours to change my mind) Temps are in the mid 70's for mom, low 80's in the cabinet with the clones, 45% RH for mom obviously under the dome 100%


Poor girl, her leaves looked like someone had taken a rake to them under the microscope.


As far as the clones go,..... How long before I know if they are gonna survive? How long before I get roots? (Using Clonex gel) I know it'll take a week or better for the clones to be ready to transplant (if they make it)

Me too! :wtf: I'm sure I did something wrong,... but that's a long f'n list of stuff to go over, so pin pointing it is the hard part,.... nothing that I had done on the list seemed to hurt her at all,.... till I put the strip in there, 7 hours later I had a 90% dead girl Probably a combination of all my little screw ups coming together at once.





It's a little after midnight, and I just got out of the room,... Mom is looking a bit better already, I'm seeing good growth (mainly branches) at all the nodes over 65 points of new growth since I almost killed her. I'm gonna loose a couple more leaves in the long run, but the remaining ones seem healthy enough to not fret over.

I got an active exhaust vent installed today, 6" computer fan in a 8" duct out the back basement window,... It's not much, but it's WAY more than I currently actually need (hard to get temps to climb with a single 96 watt T5 array!) And I got some seals on the door done up too,... it's not air tight, but helps, and will block light bleed to what will become my dedicated veg room. (4.5x6.5')


As I've already posted Mom is no longer in the little cabinet, but out in the main room under a goofy little 3 light(only 2 work ATM) strip that has 50w incandescent "Reflector" style bulbs in it,... it looks like it belongs in a bathroom right above the mirror, but it's got a plug, and the reflector lights are pretty focused (Hot tho!)so it'll work for now, I'm investing in more T5's soon.....


I got the main room humidity up to 50%, and with running the reflector lights as well as the overhead incandescent I've managed to get the main booth temps up to almost 78* and with the doors slightly cracked on the cabinet the temps in there stay around 82*


I'm trying to stay on the right track, even tho it got derailed, and it'll happen again,... suffice to say it's a learning experience!

I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track again, and I'm off to the races,.... but I just gotta ask the Pro's......

Any advice?

Cann im running into issuse now too... Temps stayi at 88-90 humidity drops to 30-40 I have to leave wet towel in there now... Is it because the plants getting bigger. Im frustrated. Plants are doing well burnt a few leafs like you but over all things are good....:thumbsup:

Keep up the good work bro...:hippy:

[canniwhatsis]

I dont have a few burnt leaves,... EVERY leaf is burnt! I'm struggling to keep her going ATM, she seemed to be doing pretty good today, so I added some reflective material to the inside of the main grow room since it's not very intense lighting,....... sure as shit less than an hour later the burn's are back and advancing,... I shut down some lights and watered the leaves to cool her off.




She smells like Neem oil now too,... she had just started smelling like a pot plant under the weak light.

I used Neem on the soil, could I have overdosed? Would a high level of Neem in the plants system lead to this kind of photo sensitivity? Would the effect of an overdose take a full day and a half to kick in then kill the plant in 7 hours?

Shouldn't the flushing have helped? (I guess it did, the plants not dead yet,.... yet) Should I flush the soil again? I ran almost a gallon thru her the first time,.... perhaps I should do it again, this time with 2+ gallons. :wtf:

P.S. the clones seem to be doing well,... (not that I can actually say that since I don't know what I'm doing), but the new growth that was at the top of them has bent towards the lights and is spreading with no signs of burn just yet.

Please help.

A buddy gave me a 150 MH light he wasn't using for his old coral tank, it's not much, but beats the F' outa what I had,... I hope she doesn't start burning again. I've turned the exhaust fan on to help disperse heat and see how things run with the way they are now.

Now for Rusty to come in and jump me again.

Did a drop test on my tap water and it's 8.5+!!! I'm really surprised I haven't shown any problems before this little brain fart,.... the soil is still soaked from the flushing, bit worried about that now too.


I need to stop worrying, she's a weed, and I'm just vegging right now, I can have some little trip ups and it shouldn't matter much,.... gotta learn to walk before you can run!

[canniwhatsis]

She's liking the new light,... I need to hang it in a better place in my room.... and clean up the wires/ other clutter going on ATM.


new growth is a bit slow to come in, but I guess that's not a real surprise considering the shock I'm sure she's in. The clones have all started to stretch a little bit, and under the dome reeks of cannabis! I'm gonna take that as a good thing.



Question about cloning, how long should I go before starting to vent the humidity dome and harden the baby's? Or is this more a play by ear thing?


P.S. Vance, My wife say's she'd LOVE a Durban Poison clone if you don't mind rooting a cutting for us to pick up in the near future :thumbsup:

Not a problem DUDE!! I'll cut one this weekend if the one in now doesn't take (I think it will, just slower then the ones I already potted)

Wanna trade?? I wouldn't mind having a Grandaddy purp clone. :thumbsup:

[canniwhatsis]

Sweet, thanks Vance :thumbsup:

I've got plans for the 3 girls that are rooting right now,(If they all make it,) including one of them going out on the back porch in a whisky barrel planter, but Mom is recovering nicely and there's more than one good branch to chose from. Let me give her a couple weeks of recovery and I'll get one going for ya!


E-mail me your Phone # so we can hook up on the weekend, Technically I shouldn't be in the back room or even talk about it while I'm in uniform,... Just HOLDING that 33g jar while on duty is actually grounds for termination!

What the boss doesn't know doesn't hurt me!
