FOXBIRD'S First Official Grow

[seasoned vet]

did you fix your cooling problem? heres a set-up built over the weekend, were sitting @ about 73-75 degrees but heats up every now and then, we just click the a/c on and instant 70 degrees.

Hello all, I am new to this site and am going to attempt my 2nd grow. Which is actually my 1st informed grow.. My first grow was all trial and error. However, I managed to yield a respectable amount for the torture I put them through. And so, if i did the attachments correctly and have figured out everything. I will now start my first published Grow for your viewing pleasure.:rasta: Rating: 5

DAY 27

heres some pics, i should change the water in both rezzes but not sure if i should ad nutes or not.

I'll just post some pics and let you guys tell me what to do hows that..
i have really not felt like doing anything to these guys all week.

these are my pinched babies.

im up to like the 6th to 8th node on all of them. By mistake i sprayed the leaves with some water from the rez and the nutes burned the leaves. (last week) pulled those leaves off as they were dead. The lights have been at like 18\6 . and i picked up 2 150 watt incandescents and am using those in addition to the 125 floro.
I think i can move to veg, any ideas?
when can i put these under the 400 wattHPS?
Should i just give them fresh water or add nutes.
They really seem sluggish, but better than my first grow.

and i picked up 2 150 watt incandescents

The incandescent light specrum will not grow MJ.
Take em back and get some beefy flouro's or get some serious nuggs w/ MH or HPS.

Okay I read a little more lol...

If you have a 400 watt hps veg with that(after they are in seedling stage.

Some of the plants I saw looked ok and some looked horrid. I think your problem is you have too many plants and too many resivours.

I would keep the 4 best looking plants/strains and put them in 5 gal bubblers (w/ a lot of air) and stick them under that HPS.

P.O.S. server.

Thats all I gotta say.

DAY 28
Ok last night I filled the rezzes with fresh water. no nutage.

Also, i rearranged which plants are on which side. Really I just picked the ones i liked the most and threw 3 of them under the 400HPS..
I am leaving a few ports open for my cloning trials in a few weeks.(not fresh clones but matured clones that have rooted and vegged a week or so)on the right side.

I decided to experiment with LSTing and pulled a few of them over to one side and hook em down.

I capped off my rezz tonight with 1 gallon of nutrient treated water on both sides. so the strength is actually 1/3. I used 5mls of GH grow, micro and bloom each and 30mls of florashield and 2 drops of super thrive.

Ph was around 6.5 and the temp in the cab stays around 70 with the AC on.. I just cant close the door and leave the lights on cause my ventilation really sucks. I should do something about that. but sela

The roots grew alot in the one day i gave them fresh water with no nutes. a few days ago the were slimey and brownish. had algea in tank. cleaned it up and the roots responded great.

Im hoping the little nutes i gave them will give em a boost. ill change the rez again in 3 days and add a full strength regimen. right now i would say they are in veg stage as they have reached there 8th to 10 nodes.
I have the lights high up to get them used to the HPS and to keep heat down. with the LST they shouldnt stretch to much.
The HPS 400watts is set at 19/5 right now, due to my sleep schedule. and the 125 floro is set to 24 on since it doesnt get too hot on that side.
Cant hurt:rasta:
Gimme some feed back guys please.

Roots are looking good. Don't rush the plants though. They still look quite fragile. Personally I probably would've waited another week or 2 before LST. I've seen good results from LST where they are tied over once secondary branching is more established. And then again within the first 2 weeks of 12/12 before the stems become too woody.

Im no expert for sure but they look overwatered and they def. have some lack of nitrogen. Maybe a little bit of liquid oxygen and some formulex...
