SeedKing's 1st Grow Northenr Lights/ W Rhino

[turtle420]

HARDDON: Well I would like to know how in the #$@# this thread is on page 3, reply #69, and the fricking plants are 5 days old... ROFLMAO

Same shit I was thinking...

But keep it up SeedKing! Very interesting.

BTW, fellow stoners.... I feel like being in a Mary Jane concert, and everyone is talking about 'bongs' and I don't know what the fuck a bong is! So, what the hell do these stand for?

ROFLMAO and that IMAO or something like that.... would somebody please find it in the most tender part of their hearts to enlighten me? Thank you!

ROFLMAO=rolling on floor laffing me ass off.
IMHO / IMO=in my honest opinion / in my opinion
STFU=shut the fuck up

I think I will skip this day to day shit

1. Temps down in the 78-80, getting cooler outside.. Humidity 54%

2. seeing secondary leaves.. Plants are still stretching towards the light, and I am right on top of them..BUT they are also starting to grow more leaves, I see little leaves coming out.. so that is positive.. gonna keep lights as close as possibe..

3. See pic below of Senora Hermosa, which I think is Northern Light (I got the labels mixed up and took a guess, Im sure she is NL).. One is when she was just a little Nina and she was stretching, the other is after the emergency transplant to strengthen her (day 6)

What is the Kelvin temp of your bulbs?

[SeedKing72]

Good question, Its not on the bulb.. You think that is why I have some stretch? Its just a regular ole 40Watt cool white bulb from the hardware store.. I will see if can find out..

I did find this: http://www.cameraguild.com/technology/kelvin.htm

Hey, sorry I have no idea what your talking about, But I will educate myself on this Kelvin temp thing.. You know me I have to know...

[HARDDON]

Kelvin is in essence a measurement of moloecular activity.

When applied to light energy, it takes on importance to farmers.

Low Kelvins of approx. 2700K (HPS) work best for simulation of late fall Kelvins and thus work best for fall bloomers.

Higher Kelvins of approx. 5500K - 6500K work best for simulation of peak summer Kelvins and thus work best for growers in vegetative stages.

You simply must have proper Kelvins for apropriate stages of growth. Failure to provide this will result in less than optimal responses from your plants.

The less than optimal responses will vary in the ways they manifest themselves, but, lack of growth vigor, high internodal lengths, lack of secondary bud sites, lack of flower sizes are just some of the symptons they will presnt.

Growing without knowing your light Kelvin should simply remove from you any expectations of the growth success. You won't know until you see what you get.

It might be great, good, average or poor.

Assuming all the other things are at appropriate environmental optimum

Boy I should have majored in in Marijuana Growing..Ok, Well lets hope my 400 Watt MH is better. I am thinking we need to give them another week before I put them under the MH...

Day 8

Well things are going, 10 plants in all (one is a runt, hope for the best she is 1/3 the size of the others, wont be a clone for sure) They dont look like they are stretching towards the light anymore.. getting good leaves... They are about a week old from when they first showed their tits..(seedling)I think we will go another week under flors, they should double in size by then.. hopefully they can take the 400Watt MH by then... Still watering with super thrive water.. 1/4 teaspoon to a gallon of water that has been sitting in the sun for about 2-3 days to get rid of chlorine.. I wonder when I should start adding nutes, too early now.. but will probably start with a weak solution of Fox Farm Grow BIG the bottle says 1 teaspoon per gallon EVERY WATER, I will probably go 1/4 a teasoon and work it up slowly.. dont want to burn them (the bottle says for Moderate to heavy feeding 2-3 teaspoon per gallon every 2 weeks) I would rather go slow and work up to 1 teaspoon a gallon every water.. that is a weak solution

[Completely Stoned]

Woo my plant was way bigger than that on day 8. I feel much better now lol.

Still watering with super thrive water.. 1/4 teaspoon to a gallon of water that has been sitting in the sun for about 2-3 days to get rid of chlorine..

Man you are lucky she is still alive.

1/4 teaspoon per gallon??????????????????????????

The dosage I advise is no more than a couple of drops per gallon. I would cease all use of SuperThrive for a while. You are gonna upset some balances in the nute uptake from the soil...some of those vitamins in SuperThrive I suspect are fat soluable and will be stored in the cells of the plant.

TOo much of anything is not so good.

I would water with some rooting hormone powder for the next week to try and get the roots stimulated a bit. Just enuff powder to 'do a line' into your water will be fine.

Good luck.
