New Bag-seed Grow

[Anathema2121]

All plants will be transplanted this weekend into their final pots. Hopefully this will coincide with the introduction of the 1000 watt hps I've been itching to plug in. All that is left to get is a fan.

Anyone have any input on how big of a fan I need to cool a thousand watt hps in a cool tube effectively?

Also, if you notice how dark green these are compared to the Its a girl ones, its because we've been feeding them Fox Farm's organic fertilizer system. Right now they get big bloom and grow big once a week, about 1/4 strength with some superthrive every watering. Also, going to start supplementing with Sucanat (organic natural cane sugar) again, it seemed to work wonders for the outdoor plants and I guess we just kinda forgot about it. Stay tuned :rasta:

yeah that does look just like a male flower pod on the "hermie" in question... Just rip em off it they do not get too bad and you can still yield a good amount... Unless the plant was way over powered by male flowers, I never kill em Good luck.. looking good m8. When you get it under that HPS...big differences will show.. Why are you feeding it bloom and veg nutes at the same time while it is only one or the other part of the gropw. Are you still in veg stage or flowering stage or did I just miss it? Sorry....
good luck

Big Bloom is just more of a supplement than a fertilizer. According to fox farms during veg its Grow Big and Big Bloom then for flowering its Tiger Bloom & Big Bloom.

Well, I decided since Sloth has a bunch of little tops on her and plant bondage is secksy, I'd break out the zip ties. I personally like zip ties because they're easy to adjust and you just daisy chain them however long you need. That way you can keep the one that is actually around the plant loose and tighten up the other ones in the chain. Then if you need to extend just cut one off and add a new long one. If you notice in the last pictures, I added one more tie in the middle to keep the other from stressing the upper branches and I bent one of the small tops out from under. I count six tops in that pic, with a few other ones forming in the crotches that are still too small to see, plus the actual top. I <3 you Sloth.

They're bowing at the altar of the 1000 watt HPS cooltube 24/0 as of today, going on 18/6 tomorrow and starting another batch of seeds. Since we have one for sure female, we're going to clone the shit out of her once she gets big enough. We plan on doing lots of lst'ing and/or topping to the current ones to keep them manageable and experiment to find what we like while the seedlings catch up. We transplanted into 5 gallon pots today filled with a nice organic potting soil we 22 gallons of with like 2 gallons of perlite and about 5 or 6 cups of dolomite lime worked through nicely. Measured the pH of the soil at a nice 6.5-6.7 in all 5 pots w00t. Temp stays below 80 even with just using that intake fan from the old room to suck air across the cooltube. Ballast is in the attic. Will have a bigger fan soon. Any input is welcome :rasta:

And yes, the carpet will be gone soon. That dresser will become a clone box with those old CFL's before long.
