Jedi Takes on Jabba in the Hut

[Jedi Hash]

This is my first grow. I am growing feminized seeds from Female Seeds. I have 2 Grapefruit and 3 Ice. They are in a Hydro Hut under a 600W Hortilux bulb.

I commited mistakes along the way. I popped the first seeds on November 18th directly in Rapid Rooters. That was my first mistake. I should have sprouted the seeds before placing them in the RR. I don't know if it was just my seeds, but they seemed to be stupid. For some reason the roots would grow up towards the light, instead of down into the RRs. I ended up having to sprout 5 of each strain to end up with 3 of the Ice and 2 of the Grapefruit.

After I thought they were ready, I made my second mistake. I put them into a DWC setup. Wow, what a battle. I fought algae and pH for a few weeks, and finally said, "I yield." Hydro just isn't for me. I transplanted the girls to Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil in 2 gallon pots on December 5.

After that, they grew like weeds. (Yes, I can hear your groans.) Soil suits me much better. I love the smell of good, rich soil. I spent my formative years in Iowa, so I know good soil.

I then made my next mistake. I fertilized too early. Note for FF Ocean Forest users: You may not need ferts until flowering, at least in my case I didn't.

Well, in any case they have survived my blundering fert burns. I transplanted them into 4 gallon pots on Christmas, and put them into flower 3 days later, December 28.

Thanks for reading. Any comments, critiques, and questions are welcome.

The following pics are from 5 days into flowering, January 3.

Hey Jedi, your grow looks sweet!! I'm wishing now that I had gotten the reg. HH instead of the HH mini - the extra space would come in real handy right now. Six plants in my mini is too crowded - five in yours and you still have excellent light penetration and room to branch out. The plants look nice and healthy too. It doesn't look like you topped yours so the extra height in your hut may be a bonus too as those plants may get huge on you!!

Some folks don't like to top their plants but I'd rather keep them a little shorter for better light penetration. I'm still learning LST'ing and wasn't going to try it my first indoor grow!

Anyway, good job, keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

LST ftw. Stop by my thread sometime if you wanna see some multi-cola monstrosities caused by LST. Lol, I tried it my first grow, as soon as you tie one plant sideways and see how it reacts, there is nothing left to learn. Everything else is preference.


But yah jedi, fuckin nice plant man. I wanna see some fat nug shots man, tell them girls to hurry up and flower already :joint1:

Well, Doco, its funny that you mention that about the HH. I originally ordered the Mini, but they didn't tell me it was backordered when I placed my order, so they ended up giving me a great discount on the fullsize model. Damn that bitch takes up a lot of room! So long office!

As far as the topping goes, I accidentaly topped one of the Grapefruits with a role of duct tape when I installed my cooltube. So I FIMd the other Grapefruit so I could see the difference between the two. Now I wish I had topped the other three, because the all-sativa GFs are shorter than the 1/2 sativa Ices. Oh well...

You're telling me! I haven't smoked since August! I am going to be in heaven when I harvest these biatches! :jointsmile:

Thanks for stopping by, man! I have been admiring your grow from the sidelines. Great work, man! Next grow I'll have to try and imitate some of your LSTing prowess...

I have a feeling this is what the Brits refer to as, "taking the piss." Thanks for stopping by, Your Majesty...
