Dopey's first organic garden

sorry no pics in a few days i took care of my plants by green light today, took some pics with flash and they came out blurry. i don't have anyway to upload them on this computer i am on currently.

i think today was day 20 of 12/12 i don't believe i set them back by my day of leaving the light on. they are really starting to load up with white hairs and even a few trics forming . the tallest 8 b kush has really stretched alot since 12/12 started i want to say ablout 2' of growth. does that sound normal for 20 days? it has outpaced the others by a foot for the smaller two and a half foot on the other tall 8 b kush. the nepalese are a little behind in flower but have not stretched as much, they were taller than the kushs before 12/12 but are equall to two and shorter than the tall ones now.

i cut all the undergrowth on two occasions taking of the lower branches that recieved little light. i did leave on the lower sugar leaves not knowing if i should remove them?

i have been using snow i melted for water the last couple weeks without any sort of testing on it. i hope it is fine for my plants, if anyone thinks i shouldn't for any reason please give me the heads up.

here are some pics from last night. three weeks of 12/12 yesterday i think. a couple of them are really stretching high and yet others have not stretched at all it seems? have the shorter ones propped up to meet the height of the taller plants. they don't seem to have to much bud development compared to other peoples plants at the same point, 3wks. maybe my cold light out temps make them slower? or maybe they are fine and i am imagining things?

at least they are healthy still. i gave them another tea yesterday, they seem to love them. it was molasses, worm castings and budswell powder. brewed for 24 hrs. i put the castings left over from the tea when strained on top of my plants not knowing if this is a good idea or not?

View attachment 3029802View attachment 3029804hey dopey nice rich color youve got there im quite envious sorry i havent made it by sooner im finally getting something that resembles a grow i flipped the light 12/12 last sunday i cloned as well & turned my ballast up to 400w. & changed out the bulb im gonna look into some organic nutes compatable with coco my 2 gal smart pots & coco are working out good & the skywalker is hitting its groove i cant wait for my screen to fill in with buds my harvest should fall 2-3 weeks behind yours im gonna have to start using ona-gel as this stuff is starting to reek here is yesterdays pics this stuff is lanky & has to be controlled

thanks horribleherk! i have been seeing others talking about that skywalker it seems everyone that tries it likes it. definitely sounds good.


i think today is day 27 or 28? I'm bad at keeping track though i have it written on a calendar I'm to lazy to walk two floor down to find it. here are the 8 b kushs. they smell but not crazy smelling, a hashy green smell and the filter takes care of it. i hope they hurry and put some weight on.

my heater craped out so it is back to cold with lights out. it gets low of 55f with 57-60% humidity lights out and 72-74f, 42-45% lights on. you guys think this may be to low? i could find another heater but with warmer weather starting i hate to spend what i don't really have.

and here are the two Nepalese hybrids. yea ugly huh. i bent a few stalks and even cracked two trying to keep them shorter. i don't think they will quit stretching? i have 7" of space to keep putting the hood higher. they also have nothing but hairs yet. probably going to take forever to finish.

the begginning of my grow seen similar lows that you have & i have a heater but chose not to run it during lights out anything lower than 55 & you might run into problems

anyone have an idea what this may be from? I found it on a couple small lower leaves on two of my plants. it is brown circles and some yellowing around it. the plants are over 4 weeks flower so maybe the yellowing is normal. the brown spots are not for certain. I looked through the sick photos I could find here and one good link on icmag. I think it may look like several things from pics and descriptions but really don't know. i don't want to try fixing what I don't understand.

these are in 3 gal pots in soil I made myself in 31+ days flower. they have been nice and green all along until this. I have only given them home brewed teas with worm castings, high P guano, molasses and sometimes budswell rather than the guano. they have not had any tea for over a week. I think I have gave them teas 4 times now. also they have been watered with rain water except 4 nights ago I used water from my pond for the first time. I have been thinking this caused it but I don't knowhow it would? I use the pond water for an large vegetable and perennial garden all summer.

anyone have an ideas?

as long as its not spreading or on any of the new upper growth i wouldnt be too concerned i get this when i feed nutes ph'd for hydro to my soil plants the ph for hydro is lower than for nutes used in soil they snap right out of it after i water once & then let the soil dry out the brown never leaves the effected leaf it just dont reappear on any of the newer growth

i only found it on a few leaves on two plants. i am not at home tonight so i have to wait till tomarrow evening to check them again. man thats really white the spots on yours. unless it is this screen? i'm worried since my first grow become yellow and sickly at the start of flower. i didn't want to have it happen again. i changed everything with this grow more like how i am used to growing outdoors. untill this everything was good. i guess i won't loose sleep over it. tomarrow if it appears to be spreading i will post more pics up. thanks for the pic and the words herk.

so good to have riu back on. my grow had puttered along pretty well. not to many issues they are on wee 6 give or take a couple days. the buds do not seem like they will be getting to large but it will be enough meds for me and my friend who has parkinsons I will be trying to help out. at least until I have more going.

my leaf problem really never spread much. there are still spots but few and not taking over. I wanted to give them cal-mag but since I had none I gave them 1 tsp dolomite lime and 1 tsp Epsom salts hoping it would give them similar to what was in cal-mag? but I am only guessing.

otherwise I am happy as they are coming along better than my first indoor try and it looks like I shall be able to harvest in the next few weeks.

ok my pics load, show a green bar on the bottom saying they are ready to post but do not show up. any ideas? I'm really computer illiterate but have done it before with no probs. the format has changed some?

I have tried multiple time and can't seem to get pics to load. I will try tomarrow and ask around to see if anyone can help. maybe I'm just a tad toast tonight

hey dopeydawg good to see youre rolling right along & making progress also glad to see youre leaf problem hasnt got any worse im not too sharp on posting pics after the bar loads up i put the arrow on thumbnail or full size & click on one or the other then back to upload file for another pic untill done

thank herk, I have spent over an hour on two attempts to get pics on here and still have failed. when I am not so frustrated I will try again. the green bar loads then nothing comes up? no thumbnail or anything. I just started having this problem when things changed, also my computer seizes up lately. I'm really bad with any sort of technology.

I see you have an avatar now herk, I can't tell exactly what type of fish but it looks like a type of trout?

anytime I try to put pics up it says "the following error has occurred, there was a problem uploading your file" ever since the new format here? I can post them on facebook if anyone has any interest?

they look nice I am happy. the quickest may be done in 2 weeks. they have started fading a little and smell great.

Damn it I want some pics man..lol

hey dopeydawg i did as you said & got an avatar those fish are striped bass i live on the edge of the san joaquin delta so i fish the stripers in spring & fall when they run my computer has been funny lately as well when riu came back up i lost all my pics from past grows that they had stored so no more digging into the archives i figure ill harvest mid-may things are shaping up

you might want to contact the admin, or go to the site part of the forum...I had a similar problem where I could not paste stuff from my clipboard...I posted in the site part of the forum, admin contacted me, and took care of the problem.

Nice job on your plants so far...Lookin' nice.

I msged some admin here. I tried to post a thread in the support section but found I am unable to start threads as well. I get an error msg from that also.

today I took down the tops from my plant furthest along. left the smaller stuff to get light for a few more days. I would like to be able to show them.
