DaKings Outdoor Grow (Church, Big Bang, Passion #1, Lemon Skunk)

Well Grasscity, I thought I would give this a try. I'm new to Grasscity and blogging all together, but growing not so much... I've read a lot of your journals and have been very impressed. I am looking for helpful criticism and comments. So sit back and smoke some, cause I wish I could!

I started these indoor a month ago and man do they reek now! They are smelling up the house for sure... I cant wait to get them outside, but last frost is still on the horizon. As of right now the 13 feminizied babies are under 8 6500k 26 watt cfl's and 2 42 watt cfl's... I just used a power strip turned upside down with light sockets plugged in with Y socket splitters. Works our very nicely with the 26 watt cfls, I could get 8 powered off one power strip! Very make shift, but 10,000 lumens under 50 bucks you can't beat it!

Recieved seeds from attitude, first time ever buying offline and attitude is A+++. No problems at all!

Plants were put into some terrible potting soil, peat moss, perlite mix. Which I believe eventually lead to over fertilization.

Coming Along nicely (picture 3)

Some early overfertilization I believe (pictures 4-5-6-7) Didnt fertilize them, but I believe the soil use was high in ferts, most have bounced back, some still tarded

More on the way shortly

 

More Pictures!
The last ones are the most recent, some show signs of nute burn, I believe. Lemme know what you think... 2 are also already outside, the slacking ones. Also hardening off begins this week! bout time to get them outside, they stink! esp. The Church, even with all the stress, this one has done the best! Not to mention it is very very stinky... Same with the lemon Skunk... mad rep to Green House Seeds, very nice stolen genetics.. HeHe

 

Thanks zPharoah! well im sorry to tell you that the big bang wasnt such a bang, lol. But the church has not yet stopped surprising me. The smell is rediculous, i could smell them all the way upstairs from the basement. Nothing to mess around with, and the yeild looks to be high too. Im hoping to get 6 footers, I have a friend that works at a lawn and garden place, he got me 11 free bags of MG garden soil and a 30 lb bag of perlite! plus 10 5 gallon buckets... I know its MG but you cant beat free. what nutes are you gonna use?

 

Im using jacks bloom, 20-30-10, something like that, it was also free and i have schultz all purpose 10-15-10... 5 bucks or so... I would like to get some better nutes but not this year, ill manage with what I have. But like you said, def. worth the investment! How far are u traveling to ur spot? and how close is a water source?

 

No they aren't organic... So ill just have to watch how much I give them... Spots sounds cash... Mine is in the ole backyard lol

 

Thanks for the comment ThePot! And for the information... The only reason i suspected anything, was becuase some of them are still stunted in growth, and i would think they would be bigger than that for a month or so old...

 

Yup just gotta be extra careful!

 

Just a lil update... things seem to be going well, the babies seem to be double their size from the last pic!! They should be oustide by the end of this week if all goes well... Wish me luck

 

Thanks Corto! It means a lot! Im hoping to get some monsters, at least 5 of them hehe

 

Update... Plants are still growing. Weather isnt to great gonna wait to transplant. Pics of course... First two pics I really need some help with... im not sure whats up with the leaf...


The last two pictures are of my cousins WW... Man does it it look good, and two weeks younger than mine, im jealous, but he also doesnt have anywhere to grow it... he might donate it to me
