First grow, California Orange Bud

Hey everyone
total newb here, far away from Spain !!!
i decided to post as I couldn't find lots of grow info/pics regarding this strain

setup:
1 x 1 x 1.8 meters box
(made by me with only one hand as the other one is in a cast after a skydiving accident)
1 x 400w hps (sylvania grolux)
1 x oscilating fan outside the box
1 x tubular extractors 190m3/h
1 x thermostate
1 x hair dryer for heat control

I have germinated 7 Cali Orange from Nirvana, all 7 up & going ,
thanks to How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds for really good germination tips

I attached the photo with the plants today at 11 days after started germination

untill now my only probs are pretty high temps and low humidity due to high ventilation

I can say I AM REALLY HAPPY UNTILL NOW

ANY ADVICE IS WARMLY WELCOMED

hi man !i same grow this plant .may be we will exchange informacion about how to grow this type of plant!i hav 4 plant in flowering period and 6 plants in vegetating!

hey man

i am really happy to hear more ppl have it
you had any buds yet?

here is an update, today was week 2 and they look really good
i started feeding them with half strength hesi tnt (veg growth)
H E S I P L A N T E N V O E D I N G

here are some photos

my only concern is that i start to see little holes in some leaves, i dunno what it is , plants have nothing under, I had some flies hanging around for a while but they dissapeared

sweet pots; take me to your dealer!

looks like you have it all covered well. i my self have some heat problems.
i wanna see these get bigger being im from cali.
Also Hello to far from Spain from La Cali

thanks for the thumbs up guys

so LAgraff i hope it will be a nice crop so i can dedicate it to sunny cali

if anyone had/has this strain, i would appreciate any information regarding what to expect and what to do/avoid.

today is day 19

there is one thing that draws my attention

some of the leaves started a scattered light green a few days ago, it looks like is spreading out and turning into yellow

current sit:

temp is pretty contant around 80-85 F
humidity is pretty low average 20%
i water them ever 2-3rd day. water has half strength veg. nutes
20h of light


i really hope somebody has some feedback, thanks in advance

I'm no expert but it may be a little nute burn.

.....i dunno man, had the light green before I started to feed the nutes, started a bit to amplify from 2 days
thanks a lot for your input tough

today is day 21

last water i gave without nutes, i was thinking may be to alternate(one water with nutes one without)

they still look gorgeus, i am really happy, i passed them to 21-3 light cycle, i am really tempted to go 24
(i would like to harvest end january and i want them minimum 20'' before starting flowering)

I found it very easy to grow and lives up to it's name. I will be starting some new ones soon! Good luck with your grow!

Quit changing your lighting setup so much! . Just leave the damn things on 24 until flower . Plants look good, can't wait to see this flowered.

day 23 from seed, i switched to 24 h light,
the grow is just fantastic
YouTube - weed timelapse
i recorded 24h so you can see the actual growth

is weird but nice how the leaves go up an down
also yesterday i did my first preventing neem oil spray, just in case any pests have ideas...

very cool...those plants are looking sweet....I'll keep watching this as you progres...¡los deseos más buenos y la suerte buena!

the plant is day 24 from seed

today i realized something new on the branches
to me it looks like presex, but i am not sure yet

things start to get interesting

looks like some balls are forming... eeeek

small update at day 26

full water today with 100% nutes strength
until now i can say i have 2 males and 5 females .....but this is not definitive yet
they are some beautiful plants i am actually thinking to polinate 1-2 flowers so i can get some seeds back (cloning would be best but i don't wanna build another room...ill see tough)

i was looking for some pollen collecting, found some technique with 2 glasses but i cannot understand it well


sweet smokes everyone

this is the 1 month update

the look amazing, I took 2 males out, there is still one that is pretty weird and i cannot figure it out what it is

weird but i managed to UNDERWATER them !!!
i was watering every 48 h but that was not enough, i've found them one morning really droopy

now i water them every 24 h they seem to love it (my enviroment is really dry and i veg for 24 h )

Looking very good! mind if i ask how tall they are at this point? which is a month?
i am also looking to grow some calafornia orange but want to a a SOG. and did you say they r showing signs of sex now? so you have 4 females?

excellent results. I love the uniformity, symmetry and fullness of your plants. very sweet man!

when you reference dry? what are your humdity? I am 25-30% and I too see that I am watering every other day....though with som many others on this forum....that seems overkilll....I am truly just going on what my soil "feels" like....and so far I think its ok...but I was curious what you are saying in terms of your dryness. Thanks man! awesome grow!
