First Grow And Box Design

[luckyskindaguy]

Thanks Concord......it doesn't seem like it has been growin that fast but when you compare the pics over a two week stretch. its undeniable. that may be slow compared to alot of peoples but i am pleased with it. this might end up bein some good bagseed afterall.

That's the main thing, don't worry about what other people are getting IF you are happy with what you are getting. Bagseed is the hardest to compare because NO ONE else has grown it before. IT is unique, even to others in the same bag. Best thing to do is plant each one seed until you get one that works for you. As I stated in my grow, I have had a few that didn't show the qualities that I ultimately wanted so I cut them down or stopped cloning them. Jade has the biggest buds on her, but she stretches too much for the small box that I have. She still makes good bud though. If she were my only plant, I would make due with just her.

Do you have other seeds to work with? Do you have other clones of the one you have in flowering right now?

I don't wanna tell you what to do, so just take this with a grain of salt. One of the sativa dom plants that I have starts having major issues at 6.0 ph, but she thrives at 5.8, though it doesn't seem like a big change the plants will know and it can be too late if you don't catch it fast enough. 6.0 is sually the high end of most nute absorbtion, but some top out at 5.8 in hydro. I would look for charts online, but here is one that I have found helpful!

i made a clone of this one right before i flowered just in case it turned out good. i also have 2 ak47xLowrider#2 that are still seedlings. you can see the pics of both in the set of pics i took 2 days ago. i didn't update those pics because nothin exciting is happening. originally this was an experiment plant so i didn't screw the ak's up. i figured it was goin good so i would flower it and hope to get at least half an oz. I am thinkin i will get my half for sure. yep...lookin that way

Some of those fan leaves must be a foot long, she would be a monster if she was outdoors I bet, probably 8 feet tall.

just read everything nice work

That was quite a bit of reading. thanks!!!

 

[brandon873]

Here are todays pics. i tried to get a couple close ups to show the trichromes. Also the new growth is lookin great. there are alot of burned leaves on there from the ph screwup but nothing new. all is going smooth. ph is at 5.7 at the moment it is really startin to put off some smell.

hell yeah, nice and frosty.

yep. all that time and effort about to pay off!!!

i have these other nutes i am suppose to start giving it the last 3 weeks of flowering. Numbers are 2-45-28 if i remember right i am suppose to give it to the plant for two weeks and then the last week nothin but straight water. does this sound right???? i am hopin that i just have a month left so was goin to start here in about ten days. Thoughts/Recommendations?????

 

[luckyskindaguy]

I flush the final 2 weeks with water. Some people say just 1 week, others say never flush. 10 days might be a good median for you your first time. The plant can handle going longer on just water cuz it has nutes stored in the leaves. Whatever feels right to you

I would check those #'s again. That sounds pretty steep to me. My FF Tiger bloom extra strength is 2-8-4. I have some schultz bloom and it's 10-15-10. When I asked my local hydro shop about it they said to be careful because those numbers were so high. Thats all I have to go on though so maybe it's fine. I would look into it anyway.

so you would say start givin it the extra nutes in about ten days or start flushin. i am suppose to change the water today. so im tryin to figure out if i need to add the stuff now or next week.

here is the sample package they gave me at the store. said it could only be used during the last part of flowering because the numbers were so high. i am goin to try it out. i just am unsure as to when i should. should i put it in my water today or next week.

Ok I just wanted to be sure better to be safe right. Looks like it's made for our hobby. Also I'm reading about more growers that don't flush at all. They say all the chemicals break down during the cure. I want to try both ways and see for myself. I am not going to flush this grow maybe I'll just go organic the last couple weeks.

 

[brandon873]

unfortunately i don't know when to start this stuff. So far the guy at my store hasn't led me wrong. but i can't ask him when to add this because then i would have to explain what kind of plant it is and what it looks like. i know he isn't dumb but i don't want to put it out there like that.

You're about six week on 12/12 right. I think your looking at several more weeks before she's commin down. Maybe start off with small doses right now and see how she acts and then bump it up or down to make her happy. I'm worried that you might have a long flowering sativa on your hands. Which would explain her current size at six weeks. That also would mean she has some serious growing left to do in the bud department.
