Secret Jardin DR120 Flower + DR120W Veg

[bajafox]

JH1 showed some yellow spots yesterday, I was hoping they'd go away over night but it spread a little, nothing too severe yet. I already think I know what happened. I was watering them a few days ago and I ran out of my ph pre mix I use for the younger plants so I used the pre mix I use for Delilah every other day which has some nutes in it for older plants but a small fraction. I might have used too much or something because that is the only plant, besides Delilah, that I used that water on and it's the only one with those yellow spots. JH3, BMA and BMB (which I'm pretty much convinced is a Jack Herer now) are all healthy with no yellowing. I'll post some pics after I finish my beer

Sounds like they are all doing great, I have been having some issues with mine...

 

[bajafox]

Which one's? The Bajameds?

 

[billcollector99]

Which one's? The Bajameds?

Yeah... I think I have it figured out, it might be mild nute burn from the soil

 

[bajafox]

That's what I think I did to JH1. How tall should I let JH1 get before I top it?

 

[mcpurple]

i would top once it has 5 or 6 nodes, also i would recommend uncle bens topping method

 

[bajafox]

JH1 just started it's 8th node. I want to make sure my cloner is working before I cut anything off JH1. I'd like to be able to use the part I cut to clone, then once it gets roots, put JH1 into 12/12 and find out what it is

 

[billcollector99]

Hmm, i have heard that for best success in cloning, you want to clone off of plants that are at least 2 months old.

 

[bajafox]

If that's true then it's gonna be a long while before these Jacks get flowered, I need to know their sex first before I can flower them and before I can sex them I need to clone them

Looks like I'll only have Delilah, BMA and BMB in 12/12 at first then. That'll give me plenty of room to start 2 more seeds. The good thing about the ballast I'm getting is that I can dim my 600w down to around 360w, should run cooler and just enough for those plants

 

[mcpurple]

they will sex them selfs if you veg long enough its called a preflower, i usaly see them 30 days after it sprouts

 

[bajafox]

Thanks, I did not know that. My oldest is at day 20. How soon should I top it then?

Thanks man, we should have everything we need for our finance guy by the end of the week. Hopefully my wife finds out what our limits are next weekend and we can start looking

we had been pre-approved 130k (all we asked for) but decided to hold off a bit since i was goin back to school. then i got the bright idea i should be growing herb full time, and very sad we didnt act. i'm gonna get a couple grows under my belt, and we hit a few vacations then presume looking around fall of next year. me and her are gonna max out our patient roster here in michigan, and im gonna throw about 20-30k into a large basement system and greenhouse. kind of a noob right now, but i am a perfectionist and dont care about price to get the job done right.

definitely subbed to your grow, gonna read through it thoroughly tomorrow. thanks for the input on my journal, hard to get people to jump in and comment so early into it. im gonna have those trainwreck's banging in that tent hopefully =-D

Totally understand what you mean, when I started it was a complete fuckin mess and I am not one to fuck around either, even if I don't have money. This thread is a continuation of another thread I had started. I was frustrated as hell with my first attempt so I wiped out our savings (just over $1k) and started from scratch. I still have a little ways to go but I am much closer to where I want to be.

My wife is going through the process of getting prequalified right now. I was prequal'd for $250k last year before getting laid off. We're hoping she gets around $130k, that will be just enough for a 2br/2ba with a garage, the best part is we'll be paying less than we do on rent for this 1br/1ba dump. Last week I cashed out all of my stock and it got deposited this morning, that's going to cover our down payment and the upgrades I'm drooling over in my grow catalog, lol =)

crazy shit man, prices are outrageous in cali... we were just looking at a 5 bedroom 3.5 bath for 160k in a real nice area with real nice schools, only issue was basement ceiling was at 6ft, and im not gonna be crouching for the rest of my life. other than that it was perfect, on a double lot, etc. sucks about the layoff, at least now you can pursue your passions haha. sometime next year i will be "quitting my day job" as long as everything continues to go smooth. you'd shit yourself if you seen the amount of house money can buy here in michigan:

it's really so ridiculous.

 

[billcollector99]

True but then you have to live in Michigan, lol. There IS a reason why it is more expensive in CA.

haha true, in all honesty as much as i bash this state, it is pretty good especially if you like the outdoors kinda stuff. if only we could do something about ohio =-/

 

[bajafox]

I like the outdoors, especially when I get to tee off at 6:45am in December and by 10am be nice and sunny I love San Diego, I'd rather be poor here than rich anywhere else

On my way to pick up my new ballast, be back in an hour or so with updates and pics of JH1, the leave's are getting uglier but still looks very healthy, the leaves at the top don't seem affected yet

 

[defcomexperiment]

i'd be in cali or oregon right now if it wasnt for family in MI lol...

 

[mcpurple]

i would go with oregon, nothin against cali but oregonis so much nicer then cali besides the very north of cali where its still all woods and not cities

 

[billcollector99]

Hmmm maybe so, and not to brag, but here in socal we have some of the best beaches, the best deserts for riding/atv, some pretty awesome skiing within a close drive, we pretty much have it all.
