Howdy Bublonichronic!

I haven't got a crop belt yet but according to what I have been reading dude, isn't your temp too high? I have the same matter sometimes but things just slow down a bit. I read that we should never be up 90F, may be wrong, check around....

I'll keep an eye on your journal...

alright guys this is what i like to call week 2 (days 8-14) from sprouting out of soil, or as i like to call there "birthday"...Red Diesels are growing like theyre mad at the pots theyr in and i couldnt be happier since i got my temps in my flower room way down to a steady 88F thanks to the STANLEY BLOWER FANS super powers (at a super price)....Also picked up some FF Ocean Forest soil to repot them in, got them in MG now i think it will be good for them cause the rootball will have constant supply of nutes for 3 mths...just a theory of mine, prolly a dumb one tho:?

Mg soil isnt the best, there is a high risk of nute burning your plants. You cannot flush the soil because more nutes will just be brought out. If you harvest when there is still nutes in the soil it will make the pot taste bad.

Personally i would order some quality soil and then replant those suckers.

Although its not neccasary it would reduce risk of something going wrong later in the grow.

Your temps are very high, a 1000w in a small tent like that is probably overkill but will give you some fat nugs if all goes well.

I would try playing with your setup a bit more see if you can make it more efficient. If you can keep that temp down to about 80 would be ideal.

Can you post pics of your setup see if there is anything people can help with.

If your are only growing 3 plants i would highly suggest LSTing those bad boys. Its so simple and can greatly improve your yeilds.

Edit: Just re read about the MG, ignore what i said about that. How far away is the light? If you put a fan blowing between the light and the canopy you can get it a lot closer, acts a little bit like air cooled reflectors.

alright alright, maybe i knew the MG wasnt so good for them but i was to cheap to buy good soil up until a couple days ago:eyesmoke:and just lookin at the glass half full...but maybe you could help me with something, what exactly is LSTing i see people talking about it but im not sure how to do it or what exactly it does...<- (my newbiness is showing)

LST = Low Stress Training
It's when you tie the plants out in certain directions to improve branching, growth, exposure, etc. I use it to open my plants up, and when combined with some topping or fimming, can really help to increase yield. :peace:

Aye thats it, to be honest tho topping is nothing special. It does give you more main colas but they are half the size as if ou left it as one.

Defo lst, it sounds a lot more scarier than it is. Plants are a lot more resilient than we give them credit.

The best time to try is after a watering. Get some metal hooks and tie some string to the end of em, put the hooks on a strong stem of the plant and pull lightly so the stalk bends and then tape the other end of the string to your pot.

Nice bubble. Im thinking about ordering this strain as well for my outdoor grow. Where did you order? I love attitude so I have been sticking with them my past two grows everything else seems shady to me for some reason. But then again I live in the US where medical marijuana is illegal so its all kinda shady haha. Good luck man they seem to be very robust and thriving.

hey MAmmath n DP when you guys think is a good time to start lst? after i top? or start now?
Hey Bubloni,
IMHO, after you top. Once you increase the branching by topping, wait for them to shoot out a bit, and then start tieing them out horizontally and opening up the plant and exposing more bud sites to the light ;-)
How old are these babies now?
Any recent pics?

Edit: from what I've red about the Red Diesel it's supposed to have quite strong side branching so you may want to experiment with topping and LSTing some and leaving some grow naturally for a comparison.
