Pure psychedelic sativa 12/12 from seed 150W HPS grow

[simisimis]

Alright guys, here's another update. This morning was quite a pleasant surprise. Looks like Zamal decided to continue on growing. All the shoots became bright green, so I'm expecting quite some growth in the end of the day. Destroyer also did not look like it had too much of replanting stress. Again CMH light makes so much easier to take pictures. Due to those cages I had to raise the lamp at about 10-12". but once they'll get bigger I'll add side lighting. Finally I am satisfied with the equipment I got and can't wait to actually start growing sum weeee Here are pics. Zamal and her shoots, Dest and her bud sites and general view.

I would have tried to add them one ring at a time to keep the light closer. Watch to see if they stretch for it.

 

[simisimis]

actually I measured the distance from tops to the light and it's only 7". not 12" as I thought. Also outside temperatures are rising so do not want to stress them again. BTW if i'd cut that fence in rings, I'm pretty sure it would collapse and lose its shape..
I'll keep an eye on the stretch, thanks

 

[MrEDuck]

7" is about right for a 150W isn't it? I've never used one.

hm, when it was colder, i was keeping like 5-6" and a fan to blow the heat, now its a bit painful. i constantly have 27-29C degrees at the tops...

zamal is showing some heat stress or N overfeeding. not sure cause tops are bright green, but leaves are cupping and foxtailing.. and since i caged her it got worse :/ 85F plants should take without too much stressing out i believe. also i replanted to new soil on sunday, which has some nutes in there, so this might have been overfert, but tops are bright green as in the pic, while with N toxicity i would expect dark green..

 

[MrEDuck]

The new growth will always be a lighter green because it's still making chlorophyll. You shouldn't have heat stress under 30C at canopy.

sats are touchy when it comes to N

 

[simisimis]

been feeding her with 3ml of biogrow per liter, will try tomorrow when the light will go on give her only camg and seaweed and next watering will start with 1-2ml and proceed from there then. thanks Kite, did not know about them being picky on N.

 

[simisimis]

Kite, i've seen u saying on other thread that you saw plants benefit more from hps into flowering than cmh, i have both, and thinking should i switch to hps when the stretching will be over and buds will start packing?

 

[Kite High]

No I said I like hps with cmh best. I prefer cmh to hps alone.

Sunday afternoon. Day 35(5 weeks) into flowering.

2 days ago I watered Zamal with 1ml of grow. Looks like Zamal is not showing N excess signs and resumed her growth. That N thing is such a trickiness, the tops are showing N excess while to most bottom 2 fan leaves are showing lack of N. But I think it is related to those fan leaves being at the nodes of 4 main branches when they were topped. Hopefully next nodes will not be yellowing, so far they're looking healthy green. Also like 3-4 days ago it started showing preflowers.
Also signs of happiness might be related to temps that went down by 3-5 degrees or so. now it's like 73 in the morning and 80 in the evening. 63 at night.

Dest, the ms. hairiness is also doing fine. Growing a bit, but more attention goes on building buds. Now I stopped pulling her down. since I still have like 1.5-2' of vertical space available. Will be able to train her later if she will start stretching.

Zamal: yellowing leave, topped stem, middle and side growth.


Destroyer: topped stem, budsites

Just keep assisting to what you see. Up it a bit and watch. They will tell you.

will do that sir!

at least will try to do that
hopefully now that the training is mostly done they will get some more foliage and won't be stopping in growth due to the stress. all that lst and topping in flower was quite painful I'd say, also late replant, n excess and heat stress.. so difficult when ur not in full control of ur room. anyway if not the buds, will be harvesting knowledge haha

Looking good! I am 19 days into my 400W Sativa Grow and was concerned my plants weren't going to be saliva's but they look almost identical to yours. So I am pretty stoked now!

I have a single 400W bulb. I germinated all 10 of my feminized seeds and only 2 didn't make it so I have 8 plants! I will probably be using 11 liter pots and can only visualize fitting 2 maybe 3 LST/FIM'd plants under the light. It's my first grow so if you got any comments I would appreciate them!

Cheers!

nice man, gratz on ur first grow, well my suggestion would be get in grow journals section, create a thread, post some starting info, photos and let me know the link so I could sub. As for suggestions I'd say I learned A LOT in my previous C99 and SLH grow(signature).
Kind of had to flush everything I read/heard before, made all the mistakes possible and struggled to the harvest. I read myself that thread 2 times already once in a month, and every time I find something I did not understand before..

About those 8 plants, I'm not sure I'm following you, you cannot visualize 3 LSTed plants fitting in your room, but you sprouted 8/10? Wouldn't it be smarter to sprout only 3 seeds?
for 11 liters I'd say use Kite High advice and get urself microkote container coating. Good stuff if you want to grow bigger stuff in smaller container

my friend is growing 4 plants with 1 400W hps, the results are very nice. I think he's using 10liter autopots.
hm, naked wife's calling me..
laters!

I added my journal to my sig. I germinated all my seeds thinking maybe 70% would sprout and I might lose one along the way and maybe have a male or two. 9/10 sprouted and 1 3 cotyledon plant died after a few days! I will check out your C'99 & SLH thread.

 

[simisimis]

cool, subbed, will read it later.
haha so far i germed everything i popped into soil, i only killed one seedling later when tried to follow "increase the temp" advise haha, temps got higher than i expected..

 

[simisimis]

last week i ordered potsil.com potassium silicon, same ratio as protekt, but instead of 11% its like 33% of that thing... but i've read that is has ~11ph and i am already watering with 7.5-8ph water, Kite do you think that soil will still be able to buffer this? or do i need start thinking of ph down? prob i would also need normal ph tester, cause those liquid drops and color scale is a bit... u know..

 

[simisimis]

hehe moderator just closed "things nooobs say that just make you lmfao" cause it's not cool to make fun out of newbies.. Oh well, maybe he's right, was a funny thread, it's just that he is making fun out of them himself in his signature lol..

k, work's done! can't wait to check on my ladies

 

[Kite High]

Yeah well it seemed someone must of gotten sand n their vagina

add the silica product to your water first then add your base fertilizers. Check pH if u want to. In soiless I never check it but that's me but ALWAYS add silica before anything you are mixing with it.
