400W HPS - LA Confidential/Headband!

[GreenGopher]

Hey everyone, picked up six clones from a local dispensary last week (12/2) and wanted to start up this grow log. This is my second grow (first grow is currently curing), but my first grow log. Im really excited about this grow log and all the help i could potentially get from you experts. :rasta: Here is all the pertinent info...

Light: 400W HPS
Location: Broken Sauna in garage, So Cal
Plants: 3xHeadband 3xLA Confidential
Soil: Fox Farms Ocean Forest
Nutrients: Fox Farms Grow Big for Veg, and Fox Farms Big Bloom for Flower
Temp: Day - around 75 degrees, night 55-60 degrees and humidity never gets above 30%
Others: Oscilating fan 24/7 on plants, 6" inline fan for light, 2.5 Gallon Lowes buckets (holes drilled in bottom for drainage) and 5 Gallon pots for transplant later, and a thermometer.

Ill post pics in my next post. For those that recognize that I already had a thread from last week, I apologize. I messed that up and decided to do another. I emailed the admins twice asking for them to delete it, and I have not gotten any response.

One question about the nutes. The FF feeding schedule that you are given when you buy their nutrients says to give the plants only Big Bloom for the first week of veg...but as I understand it, the Grow Big is meant for veg. Could anyone explain this? :wtf:

Thanks to anyone who is tuning in!

Clearer pics, but does anyone know how to make em small? I think its the attatched image thing, but i cant do that yet....anyways I have two questions for anyone who cares to answer.

On this pic theres some clear yellowing, just wondering what that is? The clones came a bit yellow, but I expected it to be better by now. Does it just need some nutes?




On this pic you can see the yellowing as well, but the one in the back right is drooping a bit. I can feel very slight moisture very deep down so I wouldnt think it needs water. Im not sure.



PS - Front row is LA Confidential, back row is Headband

Hey guys, update...it's day 9 of veg and the plants are between 9''-12.5''. The light is now 6'' away from the top of the tallest plant. Pretty happy, all the new growth is looking really green and healthy. Had a ventilation problem, but fixed the ducting. Oh and I turned up my oscilating fan from low to medium today, hopefully to make them stronger. Im guessing the yellowing might be nute burn...still not sure, maybe its just cuz the clones came that way.


Here are some pics...

welcome gopher. A suana is a pretty classy grow box, hey?

[GreenGopher]

hahaha ya I guess it is. :thumbsup:

from a growing aspect its kinda tough during the hotter seasons cuz the temp gets up there so easily in a sauna. right now it's perfect tho cuz its been in the 40s and 50s lately, but my temp stays at a nice 70-75 and holds heat during the night. im definitely enjoying it. :rastasmoke:

Thanks for the post!

All 6 are looking very very healthy, and Im really happy with the grow so far. One of my headbands is looking a lot shorter than all the others, but if memory serves that was one of the clones I picked up that was significantly shorter to start.

The yellowing I was worried about earlier isnt a problem anymore. I am worried about a bit of stretching, but they seem to gradually be filling out nicely.

I'll have some pics in my next post after I water....

Hey guys, update. My girls have been veggin for 2 weeks exactly today and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Plants are 12"-16". All the LA Conf's are significantly taller than the headbands. "

Im gonna keep them in veg for two more weeks before i switch to 12/12 flowering. Everything is looking good imo, but still hoping for some input from the expert growers out there...

Should I transplant to 5 gallon pots today? I know theres a shock/stress factor when you transplant, and I figure I should do that a week or two before flowering. They are currently in 2.5 gallon buckets. Any input is appreciated! Also, if you see any danger of stretching please lmk, I had this issue with my first grow. Light is as close as possible and oscillating fan is keeping them strong, so I'm feeling confident, but once again all input is appreciated!

First two pics...My grow
Third...LA Conf
Fourth...Headband

Thanks guys
