Im sure things will work out for you just fine...I can tell you have your shit together...I'll be here watching.
Nice fat, green Indica leaves....beautiful....I likey....when you throwning that screen down brother?
Gave the girls a heavy organic feeding tonight. Everything is looking really good so far and they are starting to show preflowers everywhere. It also appears that all of them are females which is something I was worried about since the seeds came from a hermie plant. Now lets just hope they dont turn hermie on me and that I can manage a healthy harvest from these 5 plants. The veg tent is starting to fill up and the canopy is getting thicker by the day. I transplanted 3 of the clones into 1 gallon pots today giving me a total of 9 plants in 1 gallons pots in the veg tent and then 1 small critical mass clone in a plastic cup.
I moved the Great White Shark, the largest Critical Mass clone and the most sativa looking Exodus Cheese into the flower tent. I also switched out the bulbs for a 600w hortilux HPS so hopefully that helps with the flowering. The flowering tent got fed today and Im still feeding about every 2 days and they are extremely happy so far. The veg tent is much more manageable now that I moved three of the larger plants out. The Blue Hash has some slight yellowing in the lower leaves due to a lack of nitrogen....simple fix. I also did some bottom trimming in the flower tent. Thanks for checking in! -Minty
haha yes its getting pretty damn full in there. I probably wont use this many plants in the future but Im on the hunt for the genetics I want to keep around and I also wasnt certain that the first 5 plants I started would all be females which they all appear to be!
Thats pretty amazing that all 5 turned out female...its such a crap-shoot....good for you. thats why I buy female seeds.
Will post pictures tomorrow but here's a quick update.... I decided to kill off the Exodus Cheese that I had put into flower. Its extremely sativa dominant and isnt a good fit for my set up. I moved two of the smaller clones into the flower tent in place of the exodus cheese. Both clones came from a friend but weren't labeled so they are mystery plants but I do know they are indica dominant which is what I want. The veg tent now consists of the of 4 sort of 5 plants. There is 1 blue hash and 2 exodus cheese plus 1 smaller "ultimate" clone plus another real close critical mass clone. The blue hash and exodus cheese have all been topped multiple times and are little shrubs. They were starting to show signs of being root bound but that's because they were in 1 gal pots. I just recently transplanted them into 2 gal pots so they should be much happier for awhile.
just a couple more pics.... Ive had a few minor nute problems but again this is my first grow in awhile and the first in this set up so I would chalk the issues up as growing pains.....bad joke? haha
I don't get on here a ton so I don't draw much attention to my grow but I hope it helps someone out or that people at least stumble across it and enjoy what they see. Thanks for stopping by.
I guess I'll go ahead and let you guys know what I've been up to. Had some nute issues that I was battling so I finally broke down and bought a ph meter which I believe was part of my problem. I also believe that I need to use a significantly weaker nutrient solution than what the manufactures have on their label but increase the volume of solution I give the girls. So they will be getting a much weaker solution but more of it on feeding days.....hope that makes sense. Overall I'm happy with the results considering this is my first run in this set up and with these nutrients. I wish I was seeing a little more weight on some of them but it's pretty packed in the tent so light penetration isnt the greatest. The GWS that I moved into the flower late really took off and is the tall beast on the far left side. It is very main cola dominant and had very few leaves so it should be a really easy plant to trim unlike the other indica shrubs I've got in there! The two mystery strains are the little guys in the front middle of the tent. I've left them in 1 gal pot this whole time and I'm just curious to see how they finish up. The veg tent is pretty jammed right now and some of the lower vegetation is suffering as a result. I've germinated and planted 1 pineapple chunk, 2 power Kush, and 1 diesel all of which are from dinafem. The rest of the strains in the veg tent include a dinafem blue hash, 2 GH exodus cheese, a strain called "ultimate" my buddy gave me, and a critical mass. Should make for quite the exciting grow next go around...I'm very confident that the next run will be much improved.
Started flushing 4 days ago and will continue for the next 3-4 days. Shouldn't need too much of a flush because after just 4 days they are really yellowing up and looking nice and sexy. I've got the AC running and will continue checking the trichomes for the next few days. I'm estimating that I'll be chopping them down sometime early next week. I'll have 4 plants that will be coming down initially but theres one that needs more time. The ones coming down are the unknown strain that started from seeds from a hermie plant my buddy had. We think it was a critical mass plant which seems to be true since I also have a critical mass clone and the characteristics of the two plants are very similar. The one that is taking longer appears to be a different pheno that not only takes longer but the bud structure isn't as dense and as of right now it doesn't have near the resin on the main cola that the others do. As I mentioned the critical mass clone is about two weeks behind these as is the great white shark and the two small mystery plants. One of the small plants is absolutely coated in resin and I'm really looking forward to see how it finishes up. The great white shark has been a very interesting plant. It had a couple hiccups early in veg and it really didn't do too much until I put it under 12/12. It took off in bloom and stretched big time but was still manageable. It has very little side branching and a very good bud to leaf ratio so it should be really easy to trim. It's bud are big dense resin covered logs but it's very main cola dominant so I'm hoping these donkey dicks keep growing!
