Blueberry Diesel and Acapulco Gold Will be Showing Up Just to Name a Few

I started my first, completely independent, grow on sunday and wanted to keep everyone updated. Ive had me hand in several outdoor and indoor grows from small to big but never had my own so im pretty excitied.

my setup:
8x3x7 room
fully mylar'ed
1000w switchable ballast mh/hps
Fox farms nutes
fox farm ocean forest soil

my plants:
5 blueberry diesel cross- came from an old hippie, he started with diesel and blueberry and through many mistakes its turned out to be a potent cross with two pheno types one more skunky and light colered, one thats dark green and fruity
10 acapulco gold- same source supposedly the legit real stuff.
coming this weekend:
6 G13- a long loved classic
6 random strain- ive had the finished product just wanna see what i can do with it

the plan:
So, in the beginning, hahaha, my friend started the acapulco and the blueberry diesels for me so i got them at about two weeks old, second nodes growing strong, third barely showin. these first 15 plants went under the lights on saturday night, they grew a full 2 inches and the newest growth started pokin its head through. I FIMed these plants and by tuesday morning they are all showing the split growth!!! The other dozen plants will be picked up this weekend and will be rooted clones. the first plants were started from seeds. since i'll have almost thirty plants lined up and i only want to end up with 9- 12 in the room after a month of veg im gonna swap the bulbs and keep only the strongest ones inside. the extras will get picked through for mothers and males and any extras will be done outside. my plan is perpetual harvest. I'd like to be able to put 4 plants in every month and harvest 4 plants every month with the first cycle being slightly bigger to make up for lost time. it will be crowded at first but will thin out as i figure out how many and how big to grow them im shoothin for 3 to 4 foot high plants flowered out.

the pics:
all my plants on day three. the one in the dixie cup in the middle is going to a friend and has barely grown since ive gotten it so you can see how much the other ones have grown. all the other ones were that size when i got them on saturday and are triple the size now

thanks for the views and ill try and update as much as possible

My plants are doing great. everything is all green and healthy. i cant wait for the new arrivals this weekend. Today im going into THCF for my medical card to make it all legit. i know i started early but i was impatient and i knew i was gettin it today
i had a question on my FIM technique i tried to get a picture of one of them close up. could anyone tell me if i did it right?

so, i made it to the green door in seattle and they had a sour diesel and a bubba kush clone for me so the new ladies got put in on the 13th. they were started as hydro and had roots almost ten inches long. they did show a little shock as the kush had two lower fan leaves turn a little yellow and the diesel had two fan leaves crisp and fall off. both plants do show a little growth and are doing well. the tall one is the diesel and the short one iskush

PJ - seedlings are looking great! Nice, green, and healthy. Look forward to seeing it packed out under the 1000. Good luck!

yeah i cant wait either peace!! so last night i picked up eight more beauties, Purple Kush beauties! they're all clones and i got a mother too. i put them under the 1000W last night and this morning when i checked they had already stretched a solid inch skyward Now that i have collected all the plants that i can handle, as you can see by the pics, i cant wait to pick my 15 to flower!!!! the rest will go to good homes and/or be males im guessing. the new babies are small but when i transplanted em all had roots to the sides ad bottoms of their cups so they should grow quickly.

thanks for the visits

i like the look of whats goin on here, that blueberry diesel is something im lookin into next grow!!!

the whole setup is going great. my tallest plant is 13 inches now!!! all of my new clones are showing new growth now so i hope they start shooting upwards quicker. i dont have any vents on my room but the humidity has been staying between 20% and 50% and my temps spike to 100F sometimes. are these numbers ok? my plants dont show any signs of heat stress or drooping. i nipped a couple tops for clones. i know i shouldve waited but im tryin to keep the height of these plants down and tried to promote some multiple colas. the picture of the one tall plant is my diesel mother shes doin great. im planning on switching my light to 12/12 on the fifth of june. this should give me all the growth i can handle in my room. and i still gotta figure out where to get rid of 15 extra plants so i can stay legal

100 degrees? Hot! Usually you want to stay between 70-80 F. I feel once you rise above 85 your growth is really negatively affected. Are you runnin co2? I would definitely recommend getting those temps under control. You said your room has no vents? Like not even an exhaust fan? Could turn into a problem real quick if not. Nevertheless tho, plants look good!

yeah i though that was hot too but my plants are looking great. i forgot to say that i do leave the door openish when the lights are on to vent and to heat my house hahaha. Im looking into just the basic yeast CO2 generator cause i dont have enough funds for the bottle and extra nutes and whatnot.
i have decided to switch the seed starts over to flowering one week from today. they are all 12 inches tall or better and i want them to finish around 3 feet tall because of my limited space. the newer plants like the purple kush and dispensary clones will stay in veg under cfls for 4 more weeks before they are put in. if anyone can remember from my starting post i am trying for perpetual harvest so these first couple rounds will be a little off so hopefully by the time of my first harvest i will be putting in and taking out three to 4 plants every month. a friend of mine also is legal so when his crop is harvested he's gonna move in his set up too so we can have twice as many going.
i ended up topping all my big plants more or less and made clones outta the tops. all the plants are now growing at least two tops and i have one that is growing three tops. the pic is below. i also made a cloning tent kinda. a friend of mines has an areoponic cloner for me but i had good old fashioned clonex and soil so hopefully they will take.

update time:
i removed a few fan leaves from each of my big plants. only 1-3 per plant. the purple kush clones are all growing now. some of them are still a little in shock i think but they look healthy just very slow growth. 4 of them have new leaves and two new nodes at least and the other 4 have stretched up a littl bit taller than when i got them and are just showing the newest node.

a few days ago i went over the my buddies house, the buddy who gave me my plants, and i took a look at his starts. his Acapulcos were stretched real bad. they were ten inches at the most and had only two to three full nodes and no branches just fan leafs and starts. his other variety were all about 6-8 inches tall with three nodes and almost no branches but just starting to bush up. i will say all his plants looked very healthy and green just small and stunted. all of his were planted at the same time as mine were. that makes me so excited to see what mine will turn out like!!! his stuff is always good and he doesnt grow it to potential it seems like so i cant wait.

still on schedule for switching to 12/12 on sunday hopefully that will give me some short plantsto train through the screen. almost all of them have the lowest branches reaching to the height of the mains!!! ill post pics before i do and see if everyone agrees that i can. it feels early but they are so healthy and are doing just what i want them to.
