First Grow - 2 x 1000w

[Dubbz0r]

Alright wildcajun, I just fed the master kush and blue cheese a nice nute solution. 7 tsp of Bloom, 3 tsp of Grow, 4 tsp of Micro, 1 tps Sea Green, 1/2 tsp Kool Bloom & 1/2 tsp of Verde. Hope they can handle it all...if not, I'm blaming you! ahaha just kidding just kidding!

Dubz, just curious if you got to be out of your place by the 15th of August will your grow be finished by then? If not, what are you going to do, chop them early or transport them somewhere else?

Peace

My guess is that they will need to be moved. The master kush will be really close and the cheese will follow. I'm weighing out my options right now. I had a friend come by today and offer his services. He has a brand new 10x12 room with 4 Quantum 1000 ballasts and 4 8" Bigfoot hoods along with some other goodies. Only problem is that he lives in a two bedroom house on a slab and his bedroom is one room, grow room is the other. I wouldn't be able to visit them daily since he lives about 35 miles one way so I may have to pass on that option. It sounds sweet but I need to be close to them or under the same roof. Making that drive every day or two would kill my wallet. Gas is expensive and my truck is a gas hog. Tomorrow I will explore other possibilities. I have a few others to consider.

Before the ladies were fed last night a few of them looked pretty shrug. I was super tired so I didn't wait up to see how they would react. When I walked in their room first thing this morning I was greeted by some happy & perky ladies Thankfully the nutes were a success. I'll probably post some more pics tonight since it's the start of week 3. Happy days.

It's always sweet when you see the ladies have perked up, while you were sleeping. "Well.........helloooooo there !"

Almost like breakfast in bed, served by a nude Mila Kunis...........

Can't wait to see the pics.

 

[wildcajun]

ok gotta ask did you feed them that much per gal of water ,i hope not you should be using a 1 teaspoon solution per gallon per Nute, that is what the chart says . about the HBproducts

does this mean there doing good now

Indeed! I was still wiping sleep from my eyes when I walked in. Thanks to them I've had an awesome morning It wasn't waking up next to a naked Mila Kunis, actually not even close but still made my day none the less!

It was around 1/2 strength again since I just fed them the same thing Tuesday. I mix my nutes in a 5 gal bucket. Those amounts were the total added to each 5gal bucket. I'm going off of the HB feed chart, basic 3 part conventional.

does this mean there doing good now

The master kush and cheese are doing awesome. The lemon skunk still look like shit. I'm at a loss with these ladies. A friend of mine offered to take them into his veg room for a few weeks and throw them into flower when his others go into 12/12. I'll have to split half of the yield with him but at this point it might be worth it. They've been drooping and haven't grown in about a week.

im pumped my next feed is gonna be the bloom formula. Im still using the technaflora line on mine and loving it.....it sucks you have to move your grow...are you planning ahead for the heatwave thats comming??? ive started freezing gallon jugs that way i can keep the room cool

 

[lordjin]

@lordjin.....

Coco is the shells of coconuts, beaten and extruded into fibre, then used as a medium. Works awesome........but it has some down falls at least in my experience.

Has good drainage, and good retention at the same time. I like it, but I have to get it more dialed in I think for my needs.

I think what got me is that I assumed I would have OK growth rate, but my plants TOOK OFF in it. Now, I am playing catch up on nutes, which is tricky because it holds some of bad traits of soil mediums, like nute lock.

Like I said, I would LOVE my old flood/drain setup back. I think it's Hempy Rubbermaid time for me on the next batch. The lazyman's hydro.

Thanks! I'll stick with rockwool and hydroton !

I don't want to hijack Dubbz's thread, so I'll talk about his grow. I think you should give more nutes... but gradually, and see how the plants respond for your next move. Can you take macro photos of this white mold on your roots?

holy hellfire......... I am a week away from starting my first grow, doing 6x6 1000w closet grow, you are now my hero....... this is crazy informative, please dont take this the wrong way but the fact that things didnt go perfectly for you only taught me more about growing(and im sure it taught you 1000% x more).
I also have ALOT of people around me that are experienced growers so im hoping to have a good support system like you did...... you have given me such hope for my 1st harvest.
Cheers and i wish you all the best in your move. Thanx for all the hard work you have done to share your 1st grow

Philo, watch Lordjin's grows as well, he had literally the most beautiful Hydroponic grow I've seen up to date.
But I don't pay much attention to Hydro personally, I'm more of a soil guy.
This website will help you out immensely.

I have heard good things about MOAB from Steez. He knows someone else who gets great results.

 

[steeZz]

Yea my brother brought up moab to me, he was telling me where you would have one bud site.. it would replicate itself and form another bud on the opposite side ...

i also went to the local hydro-store and brought this up to them and they said the same... i'm 100% going to be using it when i hit 6th week of flower.


oh and I think it's called mother of all bloom... you can get a small jar of it for like 16$

Thanks for the inspiring words! They are much appreciated, and no offense taken bro. We're all here to learn from one another, be it by making mistakes or by making the right decisions The best advice I can give you from everything I've done and learned is to make sure you feed your plants properly. Turns out I was under feeding my plants for a few weeks and didn't figure it out until my second week of flower. Most of them are doing well now and looking better each new day. My lemon skunk plants, well...those are another story lol Working on a fix for them tonight!


I'm using Kool Bloom powder from General Hydroponics which has an NPK of 2-45-28. The MOAB is 1-52-34, so they are relatively close. I didn't hear about MOAB until a week ago. The KB will be just as good with the Humboldt line I'm using. The only thing that has me worried is this talk of plants turning hermie from using the KB powder. I added a trace amount of it to my last feed (1/2 tsp in 5gal of water) but I'm going to stop using it all together until week 5. It's recommended to be used during the last 2 weeks of flower and that's all I'm going to do. No plants with balls gonna be growing in my garden! F that!

 

[Dubbz0r]

Oh shit, about the mold. There may be nothing there since I've let them dry out for 5 days but we'll see very soon. I have a friend coming by so I'll have her help me take some pics. Trying to hold a pot and take pics at the same time would be rough lol which is why I have no pics of it yet.

Last night I flushed the lemon skunks and followed up with a 1/2 strength nute solution. Tonight I'm hoping to see some type of change. The master kush got just water and the cheese were still a little moist so I left them alone. Tonight I plan to feed the cheese straight water and the kush are getting a full strength nute solution.

On a side note I picked up some green crack last night and got a free gram of lemon haze. Both of these were a great smoke. The green crack gave me a wicked buzz. I took 3 hits and was feeling great, but after the 4th is when the buzz intensified. It put my friend to sleep lol but not me. This is a strain I definitely want to grow. The buds were super dense and the smell was amazing. The lemon haze I wasn't expecting much from the looks of it, but it turned out to be another really good smoke. It was really smooth. Most weed makes me cough, but not the lemon haze. I couldn't finish the bowl I packed and never coughed once. I was high as hell for over 2 hours.

 

[alotaball]

Super lemon haze is fire bro.. green crack is good too.. both are good sativa's ... If you run em .. just train em alot because they like to get wild indoors.. but if you lst and top em.. you still can make a nice little indoor sativa bush

So today I had some left over water sitting in a bucket and decided to test it with my shitty ph prong tester. It was above 7, maybe like 7.2-7.3. Every other time I've tested the tap water it was at a solid 7.0. The reason for me checking it again today is that all my plants seem to be acting funny. The cheese plant has yellow leaves falling off the bottom daily, the top of the plant is really light green when it was never that light green before. Most of the fan leaf stems have turned purple as well. This is a nitrogen def. from what I read, but my kush plants, receiving the same water/nutes, looks fine in the color department, no purple veins or bright yellow leaves falling off. The kush plants have calcium def. for sure, and the bottom fan leaves are turning yellow-ish, but not falling off. Some of the bottom yellowing leaves have necrotic spots on them, but not all of them.

I can never seem to get this right. I have to admit, I have no clue what Im doing anymore. Constantly fighting with my plants is becoming more and more frustrating. Sure these plants are forgiving, but I'm jacking them up and I don't know why. I'm headed to the grocery store to get some gallon jugs of distilled water and I'll try using that for a week. If nothing changes then I just don't know. Trying to stay optimistic, but these ladies sure know how to ruffle my feathers.

 

[C.Indica]

Noooo! That's not good news.
Are you sure there isn't a nutrient lockout?
Are you in soil/hydro I forget..
Have you been flushing her regularly if in soil?
Why don't you just invest in pH regulators if you're going to buy so much bottled water?
