2nd grow, Week 1

[IIGHOSTII]

Exactly man I know what u mean. It's such a fun hobby. I can't wait for my seeds I ordered to get here. The ones growing now are just regular bag seed and I ended up with a hermi so it pollinated the rest of my ladies so that really cut down on big size. They were focusing on seeds instead of bud mass but there gaining weight still.

No way, at least you'll know next time, how did you miss the hermie? I always worried about mine, what are the tell tale signs? What seeds have you ordered ?

Honestly man it came out of no where. Everything was going good looked like I had a lil N defiecenciy but was nothing an then I noticed the swelling

 

[IIGHOSTII]

Of seeds going on. Not sure what happened. But ordered 5 fem master kush, 5 fem auto northern lights, 10 reg crystal and a propagetor pro for germinating seeds.

The northern lights is a big yielder my chronic lights were a mix of northern lights and mine were huge and chronics not known for big yields.. you can't go wrong with the seeds you've got though, all my friends do it from clone but after my seeds did so well I'm not sure I wanna try anything else, I'm kinda regretting not going for the same strain again tbh lol

 

[IIGHOSTII]

A buddy gave me a chocolope kush clone and I'm letting it veg out now to be a mother. So I'll have a few different strains to choose from. An all of the seeds I ordered are post to be big yielders that's why I picked them. Can't wait to see what they can do. I went through nirvana did some research an they seem very reliable!

Word of advice try and get you're humidity to about 60% when lights are on, 50% is good also, I honestly belive that high humidity through veg ensures good healthy plants ready to flower, flowering the easy part it's getting you're plants the best you can through veg which is important

ya I'm working on that. Thing is my veg box is only 1.5'x2'x4' and is crowded right now so not able to put a humidifier in it so RH is about 30-40%. My clones are staying a steady 70% but there on a heat mat with a dome over them. Like I said I'm still working things out. This is just a test run of how things are working an what I need to improve on. Going to buy a grow tent in next week or two so should be here by the time I harvest. Once I get my seeds im going to start from scratch again with the exception of my choco mother. Just experimenting right now.

Well you sound like a man with a plan and that's what I like to here your obviously enthusiastic and that's all it takes the more you grow the better you will get, keep me updated on how things go, I'll be updating this post regularly anyway

I've got the itch that's forsure. Nothing better than smoking bud u grew urself. Can't wait to harvest and cure these babies. Might have a few seeds but going to be some bomb. Super sticky an smells like heaven. They have doubled in size in the last 2-2.5 weeks so excited to see how big they get.

Nice. It will come over time, I'm lucky as I had a nice bit of cash to put into the grow in the first place, I always worried that my electricity bill would be mega high as I pay it monthly but it wasn't even though I ran 3 lights, 2 fans, a humidifier, then a dehumidifier, a 1000w electric heater.. a 6" carbon filter.. it was suprisingly low. How many plants are growing ?

Yeah i was surprised aswell at electric costs .. last run cost me bout 35 euros all together in electricity
im runnig 2 , sadly i made the mistake of popping an auto with a pheno , so im gonna get mediocre harvest of of the auto cause im gonna flip it 12/12 when i feel my cream caramell wont fit if i let it veg longer See when i started i was like ill let the auto finish on 18/6 and let the cream veg till then but people have told me ill run ionto problems if i do this ..

Same here on electric bill. For flower room I have 400watt ballast, humidifier, isolating fan, exhaust fan, an digital thermostat. For veg room I have 2ft 8 bulb HO t5 system with a bubbler for clones an another digital thermostat an electric bill only went up about $70. Was quite happy with that.

@IIGHOSTII Master kush kicks ass! I pay $500 a month in the winter to keep my grow going. My goal is to grow outside and harvest enough to get me and my patients through the year and then just keep doing it. I'm almost to that point but now I have to cull some and make some decisions on what I want to keep. Half my plants wont finish in my climate

Just a quick update guys, since my last pics they really seem to be taking off, I'll be transferring my baby's in to 12 litre tubs on Wednesday as there's alot of roots showing at the bottom of pots now, it's exactly what I did last time so I'm just gonna follow what worked for me before, my baby's look almost exactly the same, the leafs are abit pale but I'm told it's normal as there getting used to nutes as there in 100% coco coir which has no nutes in at all.. so far so good it seems

Yep, in the first week the growth is so slow but I think that's because it's forming the root ball but in the last 5 days they've changed so much, the leafs are not as green as I'd like but on my first grow my plants looked quite pale then soon as went into flower and changed to flower feed the leafs turned a shiny green and they really took off so I'm hoping the same will happen this time
