Sunroom Grow

[StoneMeadow]

Okay, I flipped the plants to 12/12 Monday night, three weeks to the day after transplanting them. This morning all four have broken out with pre-flowers all over...woot! :hippy:

That said, I see red spotting on a couple of branches of just this one plant, and not on the others. Thoughts?

Everything seems to be going in your favor,with the exception of a few variables. One word stuck out at me when I started reading this thread.. It was medijuana.. Just seems like it came right out of websters dictionary.. Waaaaaay cool word! Great thread Stone! Everyone else involved is spot on! You got a GREAT band wagon,here My Friend!

I think Emmie has come such a long way in this game! She has alot of good advice as well as TANK. Advice given from either,is surley from experience in most cases! But I think most (experienced) members of this community would jump at the chance to help a serious newbie or in your case.... A First Time Gardener.. I think your a bit above Newbie..

Peace!

Thank you for the kind words! I hasten to admit that I did not invent the word medijuana. I saw it somewhere on teh interwebs and liked it, so started using it. It's just so much handier than the slightly pedantic 'medical marijuana'.

And yes, Emmie and Tank have been a big help to me (as well as to others, I am confident).

The one little dark cloud on the horizon is that I have learned that the outlaws are coming to visit in about a month, so I've now got to figure out how to go into stealth mode... :wtf:

I'll give ya a tip as to the steath mode... I'd have to know if your home was underpenned or do you have a basement? If you have a basement then stealth is out of the question! Whether you hide it or not.. Now underpenned and at least 4-5 feet from the ground.. Then that's Money! No pun intended.. The money that is... Your growing personal meds for cryin' out loud!

I can't believe that I ain't thought of that word.. Cause I'm here to tell ya! I can come up with somemore kinda words sometimes.You can't even spell these words... Medijuana. Land sakes alive! Damn Good word! Makes all the sense,or is it SINSE? Anywayzzzz... I like it! Way better than MMJ.:thumbsup:

Unfortunately, I have a single-level slab-house. I also have acreage, and by then it'll be very warm out even at night... :jointsmile:

Day before yesterday was three weeks total, and one week into flowering (12/12 lights). Nothing much to report...they seem to be doing fine. Here they are.

I was planning to post just once a week, but noticed these white tendrils this morning while moving my plants out into the sunroom, and thought I'd snap a photo or two. All four plants have these on the tips of all their major branches.

Excellent FIM shot! Looking good so far... what kind of lights do you have on them inside? It sounds like with all the moving about, the plants aren't the only ones getting exercise here. Good luck with the grow... I'm watching to see how you do with that Miracle Grow along with the added nutes.

Remember that these are weeds, not veggies. The nutritional needs are a bit different, but I am thinking you will be able to adjust just fine. As a brand new grower, I also started out with the Miracle Grow and it really made things more difficult for me along with all the other things I was doing wrong. I have grown a little veggie garden outside for years and thought that I had it all figured out... until I met the weed and tried to grow it indoors. I am curious to see what you conclude about this as your grow continues.

What I have realized in my time here is that there is a science to be learned behind all this growing too. Its one thing to grow a successful plant. Its quite another to optimize that growing situation so that the plant produces the biggest, tastiest and most powerful harvest that it is genetically capable of. This requires going a bit beyond the simple and dialing in the proper PH vs nutrient load currently being supplied, optimal temperatures and even light periods, humidity and trace minerals in the water. There are so very many things to consider, and so many ideas being tried all the time to make things even better. Some are experimenting with electrifying the soil to increase yields. Hydroponic systems are being used by some to supercharge growing conditions. Its crazy sometimes just how much information is out there about these particular plants.

My point is, I am sure that from the sounds of your growing experience that you will have no trouble growing this finicky little weed. But now I challenge you to read about some of the amazing things being discussed here on the board regarding the advanced growing techniques. Find here, an extension to your gardening hobby as I have, a desire to learn what it is that these strains available today need in order to develop into what they deserve to be, prize winning samples of genetic science. Anyone can grow a tomato, but what if someone gave you a clone of THE very tastiest tomato ever grown? I bet you would do whatever it took to give this beauty everything it wanted. This is what your coop sold you. Top of the line genetics. Now its up to you to bring it to its potential. Good luck and have fun with it! :thumbsup:

I could not locate find the like button, I too learned the hard way w/miracle grow etc. early on. Now I'm strictly organic, Grandma's molasses has become a very good friend.

Those are some beautiful pistils starting to explode from that new flower! Vegging is now over. You should be very proud. ---Emmie

Realized it has been a week since I posted. The only change to report is that the buds just keep getting taller and have spread to all of the secondary branches and nodes. Oh, and I have bumped the Alaska MorBloom from 1 tbs/gal of water to 2 tbs/gal. Other than that it's all the same as before. Here's a photo from a typical main branch tip.
