2nd grow: ITS A GIRL!

[peace plz]

Well, my last grow ended up in a male, so this time i planted two seeds in order to better my chances of a girl.

And now after 18 days (i think) i now have a girl! I should mention that i am growing lowryders. And my other plant is looking to be a girl as well, but i need another day or two to be absolutely sure.

my grow:

2 seeds in 2 gallon pots. Fox farm Ocean Forest soil. CFLs. in my closet. Temps are consistently around 78-83F, humidity around 40-50%. I have a fan ocillating on the plants. lights are 18/6.

here are some pics.

pic 1: both plants in the closet
pic 2: plant 2-its the girl.
pic 3: plant 1-hopefully going to be a girl. i think i see some preflowers coming in lower on the plant. fingers are crossed
pic 4: top of plant 2-you can see the pistils really well in this one
pic 5: another pic of pistils

i will keep you all updated. i'll keep a log in this thread.

any and all advice, encouragement, etc is welcomed. i'd love it actually.

!!!!

how old? be carful of heat probs...

love, brooke

[peace plz]

i think they are 18 days old. i dont have my calendar in front of me, but im pretty sure thats how old they are


and as far as heat problems, i think its under control. its usually around 80.

[LIP]

That's not optimum. 80 is ok if thats all you can do, but try to get it down to 70 - 75F.

Luckily LR cant hermie, so at least if it is a little on the warm side it wont turn them.

[peace plz]

Alright, I will try to get that temp down. This morning it's reading 78F. I turned my fan up one speed. And I was right, yesterday was day 18, so that makes today 19.

[peace plz]

Well, i just gave my girl her first dose of nutes. it is quarter strength pure blend pro bloom for soil. pH of the nuted water is 6.6...

I also turned up the speed on my fan and the temp is down to 77F already.

Im hoping my other plant shows definite signs of female soon. So far there are no balls, and its already been 19 days, so i am guessing its going to be a girl.

I also am germinating another seed right now that I will plant tomorrow. My plan is to do a staggered grow in which I will be harvesting every 3 weeks to a month. I plan on eventually having three plants going, each spaced 3 weeks apart, so that I can harvest one every three weeks and start a new one. this way I have a continuous supply of weed. This is the main reason why i chose lowryders, because i can do the different time lengths and not have to worry about having two separate chambers for veg and flower.

has anyone ever done this? should i watch out for anything? thanks for any tips.

also, is 6.6 ok for my pH? the regular water i have been giving it has been about 6.8. thanks

UH OH!!!

Bad news maybe...

so i was using a spray bottle and misting the top of the soil with 1/8th strength nutes (pure blend pro bloom soil). and i accidentally got a little bit on the tips of 2 leaves. immediately after i wiped it off, but in just an hour or so, where the leaves got the nuted water on them, they started to get yellowish dots all around.

i wouldnt think that getting just a little bit of the nutes on the leaves would cause this, especially an organically based product.

can anyone help with this? what should i do? is there anything i can do? i would post a pic, but its too faint to see in a picture.

thanks!

Quote: "Nutrient Solution Burn:
There's a good chance that this leaf was subjected to nutrient solution burn. These symptoms are seen when the EC concentration of hydroponic solutions is too high. These symptoms also appear when strong nutrient solution is splashed onto the leaves under hot HID lamps, causing the leaves to burn under the solution."...." Back off the concentration of the nutrient solution just a touch, and the problem should disappear. Note that if the plants never get any worse than this leaf (figure 3), then the plants are probably just fine" End Quote.
I'm new so I hope that helps! S

Bree-

Thanks. I have that site bookmarked but didnt even think to look there.

the only thing i cant figure out is how it all happened in under an hour. and it only happened at the last half inch on two leaves. those were the two leaves that got a little bit of the nuted water on it, and then i immediately (within a minute) wiped it off with a kleenex. i didnt think there was any water residue still on the leave.

anyone else know what could have happened and if it's going to effect my plant much? like i said, its only on those two leaves, and only on the tip of them.

thanks

as said by the garden known 76-78 is the perfect temp due to the fact that photosenthesis(way off on spelling i think)occurs best at those temps.


p.s. have you smoked lowryder before?i am typicallt high off 2 hits and stoned off 3 or 4(off of what i grow)and was wondering how much it takes to get high off lowryder.if it is at least almost at dank levels i may have to give it a try
