1st grow, how does it look?

[reddiamond]

if your potting mix came with food in it, you will be good for most if not all of veg

I think you missed a few posts too she's in coco/perlite so no food unless i give it to her

looking good mate, you have the right idea I'm sure she'll love the torture.

Bit of a change of plan, i screwed up when i tied her down and trimmed off the side nodes i should have kept before topping again so i'm prob gonna scrog this one but i took 4 clones with symmetrical nodes so once they have rooted and vegged for a week i'll keep the strongest one and hopefully mainline that one

Thanks, it is my 1st time growing but i've been in mates grow rooms before and i have done lots and lots of reading so i don't really class myself as a complete newbie but i've found out you can read all you like and it still doesn't prepare you enough for your 1st grow, you just have to jump in and try to swim and not sink

Amazing the growth on this plant in just 12 days after losing her head, i can't believe it

2nd July



14th July


She's got nice thick stems too

 

[reddiamond]

I've put a net over her now so i'll give it a couple of weeks to fill in a bit and then put her into 12/12





I've also changed the bulb to a HPS to maybe help her stretch a bit to fill in the net.

Any updated photos?

 

[reddiamond]

Sorry i've been a bit lazy the last couple of weeks.
Another change of plan, i decided against a net as it would have been difficult to get her out if needed so i removed the net and i'll just let her go.
Here's a few photos of some nice female pre-flowers to keep you almost up to date, I dont have any photos from the last week but i'll get some tomorrow


The temps have been a bit crazy here in UK for a while and i've been struggling to keep them down, hitting 90f most days in my cupboard but she seems to be doing ok

The last pic is 5 days after i upped my calmag dosage.

 

[reddiamond]

Some pics as of today, i gave her 24hrs dark on the 26th and timer kicked in on the 27th for 12/12
Stretch starting already and its only been 6 days lol
Still looking mg def so gonna up the magne-cal+ a bit more and maybe foliar spray with some epsom salts.





She's a short bushy girl




Trimmed a few of the under branches and small stuff off to get better airflow, she has nice thick stems so hopefully good things will come

Looks great! This is my first grow as well here are a few pics...

 

[reddiamond]

I couldn't do an outdoor grow, the weather here is just too unpredictable looking good though bro

 

[LetsGetCritical]

That's a pretty big plant mate! excellent job,more pics , pics !!!

 

[reddiamond]

Yeah she's about 30" wide and 18" tall at the min, should be about 36" after stretch or i'll run out of headroom lol
I'll get some more pics in a couple of days, meanwhile heres my 2 clones under a home made T5 hood, i can run up to 3 x 55w tubes if needed

This is what i am currently growing.

Super Iced Grapefruit
---------------------
Cannabis Genetics - diesel x chronic x skunk #1
Flowering Time - 8-9 weeks
Sativa/Indica mix - Mainly Indica
Thc level - High : 15% +
Flowering time - 8-9 weeks

 

[LetsGetCritical]

does this strain smell bad? The clones look healthy and happy.

 

[reddiamond]

She's 1 week into flowering now and starting to smell a bit, glad i got the carbon scrubber up

The clones have been in those pots for almost 4 weeks, i've kept the light high and the nutes low so growth is there but real slow, will stay like that until about 4 weeks before i chop my lady and make room then i'll repot and add more light and food so they get chance to take off

 

[reddiamond]

Thinned her out a little more this morning and i think thats it now, just gonna let her do her thing

After

Thanks mate, she looks good in the photos, even better in the flesh so to speak.
I'm really pleased with how she's coming along, i'll definately use coco again, as long as you have a ph / ppm meter its really easy and i don't mind watering by hand as i like to see her every day and see if she needs anything as this grow is about 2 miles from my home.

Todays pics, 2 weeks today since i flipped, she doesn't seem to mind being cut back at all, she just keeps growing more
