Prune's New Born

[Dan K.]

4 Weeks

1. Worried about helicopter infrared flyover with hps bulbs..
2. Worries about electricity prices with hps and them catching on

Should I be??

I wouldn't be too worried about those if I were you, helicopter flyovers with infrared are illegal in CA, that constitutes searching a house and the police can't do that unless they have a warrant

What kind of HPS are you planning on using, can't be more than 400-600 watts at most for that one plant, that's really not very much, especially in an area as rural as Prunedale, I wouldnt even start to worry unless you were doing 2-3K watts

good luck!! looks good so far,

Uh thinking I'm gonna stay with cfls but perhaps I need more than this?
Two 42 watt 2700k at the moment with those cool tubes.
Was using the 2 5500k cfls till I went to 12/12 and now I'm switching to 18/6 cause I think it should be bigger don't you think?? Or is my dirt medium restricting my growth.. I'm thinking I'm getting a basic yield on this one since it was a potting soil grow with low nutes.

Suggestions?

Sunday -

Added a 5500k light in the middle for extra spectrum in this flower stage.
Didn't think my root system was that large but sliding a pencil down the edge of the pot they are stretched out all the way, I can tell now that my soil not having much for nutes to feed the plant was causing it to grow a crazy root system, or maybe thats just normal. Some other peoples I see have smaller systems byt they aren't using soil. So I worked more perlite into the soil mix gently and then dumped my mollasses and bloom feed and then followed up with a bit of regular water and let it drain well. I hope its nice and airy since I mixed its soil up a bit. Looks like its doin fine and the clones I took are doin well too. I need to pick up some root hormone though for added assurance to root.

Feed: Alaska Morbloom 0-10-10
Bit of Molasses mixed in the gallon. Slightly concentrated.
But applied before a flush feed. Drip was recycled into the pot as well.
Hope I don't burn it, I tried to be on the "more" side this time since I've been very careful not to over water or feed at all. Last time I fed the wrong stuff and got a few spots.

Should I be using different nutrients?

I'm interested in buying some good nutes. Whats your choice?

nice plant man, are you sure of the sex yet?

Yes brother thank you for asking, here's a SRO cigar for you Its a girl =D :thumbsup:

Today I bought another 10 dollar fan from Wal-mart. Same one I got for the top of my box, this ones for the top of my scrubber. Also picked up some tidy cat silica crystal litter.. eeew cats are yuck. Taking the carbon back to the pet store that sheeit is expensive.

Collected more rain today. Been good weather for collecting.
Now when I'm on the phone I tell my friends i'm feeding gatorade rain to my daughter. =)

Just adjusting the canopy today, its starting to look even and lowered the plant so they reach up a bit more. Since flowering the nodes are very close together.

18/6 for now..

Clones are showing footsies YAY.

NEED Rock Wool. No one knows what the hell it is.

Hells yeah. Good for you man.

Its been my stress reducer in many ways, and I've become a facinated wannabe gardener. Making me wanna go bigger. Making me wanna move. Place with a basement or attic.

Today is Friday.

The molasses solution seems to have helped the top start developing rich new growth. I'm happy. If I failed to mention that, I mixed water, molasses, bloom 0-10-10 and a bit of fish emulsion. Its been sitting in my jug, I shake it every now and then like its helping it get air inside lol.

She's looking so pretty. I decided to name her now. And I decided to give a japanese name since she looks like a bonzai cannabis. I'm still deciding ON the name however. Any thoughts? Here is her main star. She's just gettin into it. I'm excited. Clones are rooting better and back in the chamber with mom.

Worked Yet more perlite/soil into my pot.

SHOULD I TRANSPLANT? I have a 13.5 quart container that she's sittin in. Not sure if I should go bigger to encourage her to stretch and get bushier. Or.. I might be acting impatient thinking that way. Its a relatively nice sized pot. No roots out the bottom or anything but I probably only used 3/4 the pot when I initially placed the dirt inside. Adding more later wouldn't really do much good since the root line is lower than the top of the pot so lets say I have a 8-9 quart pot.. Anyway.. I'm taking suggestions hehe. I'm worried about shocking her by doing that while she's flowering but if I don't do it soon then I might not be able to at all later??

A eeerie feeling comes over me...... My eyes widen.... And I quickly turn off all the lights and make sure my door is locked.. Then I peer.. Oh.. good. Some violence whew.. Salinas Ca. ......
