CFL Cab Grow Log...

[kdspecial]

This weekend I actully had some time to do things.

I took two clones from the re vegged plant. Then I decided to cram it into the top of the box to flower. It has alot of shoots and two seedlings in the 3 gallon pot. This is gonna be pretty interesting.

The sad looking clones pictured with the two new clones have just started to show roots comming out the bottom of the rockwell not on all of them though. I plan to get those in soil when all show their roots. Hopefully they will come back and be able to be mom plants. As well as the newly clipped clones.

the top of the cab is pretty crammed with that 3 gallon pail. It will be interesting to see how much it stretches and how much less light the other plants which have about 3 weeks left will be able to use with their new rommie.

kdspecial Reviewed by kdspecial on 01-15-2007. CFL Cab Grow Log... My First grow went ok but now I have a better setup. Since I learned all i know from here. I thought My second go around I would share to learn more myself. These are the plants after 1.5 weeks from Sprout. This part of my cab I decided to try the Home Depot route. 27W CFL 6500k 5 right now. In the top of the cab I have a T5 light. So far the T5 Grows faster even though the lummes output is matched with the HOme DepotLights. I believe this is because of the reflector the T5 has. Regardless Rating: 5

3 days from 6 weeks flowering.............

They are looking good. A little burnt from heat or nutes. nothing that looks too major though.

I had a question This strain is supposed to flower for seven to nine weeks. Im comming on week six should I be starting to only feed with plain water?

Is there a certin stage identifiable in the plants life that I should start to feed with plain water?

I need to get a magnifying glass but im having trouble finding one higher than 5X which I think wouldn't be strong enough. The trichcombs seem to be turning solid white. Everyday I am able to see more and more trichcs. I have yet to see any ambre with my naked eye.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks kindly

Nice kdspecial, what a great example of T5 lights at work (with gardening skills of course ). Sweet looking buds. Someone in another forum was asking about T5 grows...I'm gonna point them over here.

Thanks Doco,,,,, Im liking the T5 so far it allows me to grow in my apartment. It was expensive but worth it, the reflector its made with is key.

Any help on a physical sign to start flushing the Plant for harvesting?

That looks great kd!

I picked up a 30x magnifier for $10 yesterday (Circuit City). It has a little 8x magnifier on it as well and I was surprised at how much bigger 8x is. If you can get more than 10x though I say go for it.

When did your clones stems turn purple like that? I have some that are doing that and I have no idea why. They look ok other than that so I'm just ignoring it for now, but it is spreading through the entire stalk.

Yeha basically when I cut them they turn colour. My plants show these signs somtimes as well. I have yet to figure out exactly what the cause is. Im guessing its somthing that the ProMix does not have in it. Like a Micronutrient. Or improper nuterient balance.

the problem is there are so many possible things that could cause red stems and Veins on the stalk. Cold weather, Strain, miconutrient, Ph lockout.. It goes on and on. basically I was losing my mind over it and I just said fuk it. The plants look healthy. besides that.

I figure when I start mixing some compost with my pro Mix I will have less red in the stems and veins.

It can even go back to seeds. The grow shop fellow I have become decent friends with basically said to me. What do you want plants naturally will change colours depending on thier food / enviroment / and strain. Dont sweat it so much. As you grow as a grower you will learn more and you will see less RED...

Im planting some new seeds, tonight I will apply my knowledge and see if they still go purpal. I bet they dont go as purpal/.

thanks for stopping by

nice dude

Cool man that's good to know. It freaked me out at first two when I saw it on the big girls then I did the same as you and said fuck it. :jointsmile:

I ahve ordered a 30X jewlers eye piece. I hope this arrives in time for me to be able to harvest at the perfect time. As of tommrow it will be 6 weeks flowering, of a strain that says it takes 7 to 9 weeks to finish. I think I will be feeding just Phd water from now on in.

TO be honest my plants may look nice but they smell like ass. They smell very similar to my BIO-GENSIS Organic solutions. So just to be certin I don't actully flush my plants do I (3 to 1 ratio of water)? I just water them for the next week or two with plain water and allow 10% run off correct?

I hope they start to smell nicer when I satrt the plain water feedings. If not ohh well they loko like they will be nice..

Still Rolling here.......

Starting some new things in the bottom of the Cab...

Got one healthy clone that stuck through, Took one clone from the Seeding plant. Then I took the ReVegged plant and stuck it back in flower.

The revegged seeding plant has been in flowering for one full week, and its stretching like crazy cuz it far from the light. It will have to wait untill my bigger plants finish.

I also started some seeds from a Fellow Grower from these boards, as well as my own. BlueJay x BoggleGum

Enjoy the pics,..,
