my first growop and journal

[mikeykrinshaw12]

Lol meh..not that big an area.. Idk lmao..
I watered.good yesterday I think I'm going to transplant Friday they should be nice.n dry..when should I use this 20-20-20 stuff? Only using arogreen atm

If you transplant, wait another week or two would probably be better before feeding. depends on soil what kind of soil, and what kind of nutes? When I looked at mine, they were just barely ready for transplant.... how are yours looking?

easier to move those solo cups then the lights eh? is that 1000W positioned to give you maximum results?

Yeah well that light is all one fixture with ballist inside or something..greenhouse type idk.. No spots for ducting on it..its orob 30" away..I got a temp meter sitting beside bottom of solo cups reading 80-84

 

[cbuts05]

I'll take a pic when I go down for a smoke..it seems everyday they're bigger ..I tried using a knife around one and dumping it over to look st roots.. Didn't work so well so I gave up and watered lol..I topped up the cups with more soil too..I'm using promix from hydro store

 

[mikeykrinshaw12]

what are the measurements of that room again?

 

[cbuts05]

I have some part a and b stuff I'm told to use for flowering ..but this 20-20-20 I should use for a few waterings before I get to flower right

 

[cbuts05]

7 x 6 x 6 or so..

 

[cbuts05]

Ok I couldn't wait

 

[cbuts05]

Light is 27" from top of plant u can see degrees in pic.
I'm thinking I can only grow these 5 ft tall cieling is 6.5 ft tall..how do u suggest I manicure them.. I'm a newb as u know lol

 

[mikeykrinshaw12]

looks like they finally got a good watering there! . They are Not ready for transplant, maybe when the pots dry out one more time.

When you were only watering right around the base- roots didn't grow because they had all the water they needed, now they are shooting out a bunch. I am a fan of pinch stunting, pinch FIM'ing, and SCROG and other LST forms of training, especially to maximize space.
It depends on the strain and the plant for me.

Well minds afghan skunk..it says it gross to 1m indoors..isn't that 4 ft?

 

[mikeykrinshaw12]

if I were you I would section off a side area of the room for veg under the smaller light, and use the main area of the room for flowering, because you need 3x space for flowering plants as you do vegging plants. like a 4.5x4.5 ft flower and 2x2veg areas. that way you can veg and flower at the same time..... putting the time into thinking of long term set up designs is going to save you a ton of work and hassle down the road... unless your only doing one grow in there.

Pinch FIM at 6-8 nodes and SCROG imediately after.

Well I have 15 going into 3 gals..I don't think I'll have room for a veg place in there..I plan to buy a tent or something later and put that somewhere

I'm not really sure what a node is..idk if I have any I've read what they are but still can't understand lmao

 

[Beezcheeze]

Read that mainlining thread and you will get what a node is. Each node is where the branches come off of and meet the main stem. So a plant with 3 sets of leaves will have 3 nodes

 

[Beezcheeze]

Well maybe two. Lol I'm confusing myself now

 

[cbuts05]

By lookin at the pic do I have 3 nodes ? Or just barley two

 

[cbuts05]

This is 3 nodes ?

 

[Beezcheeze]

Yes but I don't count the first node closet to the soil. Their not full leaves they don't turn into branches. You got it

Type in mainling thread rollitup
And type in rollitup super cropping on Google and research them. I would do a superctop to the main stem sometime down the road after transplant if I were you.

Yeah, that's why I said pinch FIM and scrog.

And hey it doesnt matter where you veg, especially down the road, but when you flower you want your 1000W HPS in the center. I just crammed 9 plants in a 2x2 1/2 area for flower under a 400W, they'll manage haha
