first real grow + grow log

[peace plz]

Alright everyone, quick update. My baby is still developing leaves, and it seems to be coming along quite rapidly. I should have pictures in the next couple days. I'm still taking midterms, so I can't do too much of an update. Thursday though, I will be done with them and pictures will be taken and probably posted.

Anyways...

I'm still struggling to figure out which nutrients to use. At first I was considering FF Big Bloom, but I don't know if I still want to do that. I've been looking around and I think that I might want to use Botanicare Pure Blend Pro-Bloom.

Since lowryders essentially have no vegitative state (none in which I would be able to use any nutrients during), I am really only looking at using Bloom nutients, right? Or am I wrong in assuming that? I know there's other micronutrients and stuff that I could add, but for now, I'm trying to just get my bearings and not go too overboard and get over my head. In future grows, yeah, but not now.

So can anyone give me any insight on how the Botanicare Pure Blend Pro-Bloom would work with my FF Ocean Forest soil? Should I use these nutrients or should I go with FF Big Bloom? Or are there any better organic nutrients out there that I should use?

Thanks for your input.

The more I do this grow log, the more I'm feeling like I don't know as much as I thought I did going into this. I read up on things for quite a while, but now I'm getting unsure of myself. Can anyone reassure me that what I'm doing isn't completely off and that my grow is going ok? I guess I just feel like I have all these questions that are getting answered by one or two people (which I really appreciate those responses to the fullest; THANKS!) but I'd like to get as much input as I can.

Anyways, best of luck to all my fellow growers. Hope to hear from you all.

Sorry for the double post, but I tried to edit my last one, but the time length expired. So here's what I was going to say in the edit:


EDIT: I meant to specify that it is Pure Blend Pro SOIL Bloom.

Also, sorry if I am sounding rather pessimistic. As I have said, I'm really swamped with school, work, and now the added stress of growing. Don't get me wrong, I love this project I've taken on, but I'm just a little down today or something. I've got a rediculously hard midterm in Astronomy in 3 hours that I'm stressing out about. I've studied more than I can handle, but I still don't feel like I'm prepared enough.

OK ENOUGH NEGATIVE ENERGY! STAY POSI!

If you put any of the energy you show growing your one plant into your test you should do great!

Alright everyone. Time for a little update. I'm done with midterms so that stress is off my back. My little plant is 13 days old. It's coming along nicely. Just growing more and more every day. Hope to see the sex within the next week.

I've got a question though...

All my nodes are really close and tight together. Is that a good thing or bad? Wouldn't further apart nodes help to created bigger buds? They would have more room to grow? I don't know. I'm just guessing. I'm probably wrong though.

Also, I will try to get some pics up tonight or tomorrow. The plant is only 2 or 3 inches tall, but it's atleast 5 or 6 inches wide.

Hope everyone is doing good! I'll get those pics up ASAP.

[peace plz]

Ok, as I told you earlier, I have pics now. I tried to get some shots that showed how close the nodes are. Can anyone tell me if it's ok that they are that close or should I try to stretch them or what? Will stretching them give me any more yield?

And then, overall, how do you think it's looking? I know I'm only 13 days in, but anyone think it's looking ok for it's age?

Hope you all enjoy the pics and give me some comments and feedback. Thanks.

Well, I don't know what to say. A little update. There is some new growth going on. But I can't tell if it's male balls or just calyxes. I'll wait a couple more days and see what develops. I'm really really praying that this plant doesn't turn out to be a dude. I just can't tell yet. They look like balls. But they also look like they might open up soon and just be new growth. And then to add more confusion, there are several little things that are growing that look similar to a pistil, but I think it's just a little too early to tell. Ugh. The suspense is going to kill me. I don't have the camera on me otherwise I'd post some pics to see what other thought. I guess I will just have to sit back and wait and keep my fingers crossed. Every 5 minutes I keep going back and looking to see if anything new has happened.

Look for an update soon with the sex. Please keep your fingers crossed that it isn't a dude. That would really bring me down.

I will let you all know as soon as I find out.

Hey, I have been following your grow so long, and these are some nice threads. I just wanted to ask a few q's. 1. What country do you live in? I live in America, and I am planning to grow soon, look forward to my grow log. 2.Where did you find those lowrider seeds, and if it was over the internet, what site was it from? Good luck with your grow, nice job!:thumbsup:

[peace plz]

Well, that's all she wrote folks. It's a dude. I just pulled it out and tossed it. I've got a couple seeds germinating right now, and they will most likely go into the soil tomorrow morning. This time I'm doing two of them so I can increase my odds. I should have done that this time, but oh well. Look for a new log sometime soon. Thanks for all the advice I was given. Keep it coming on the next log.
