Got 12 girls growing, strains are AK48, white rhino, super lemon haze, chrystal, and blue cheese. They are about 20 days from seed. Just started with nutes, using fox farm big and bloom (big at quarter strength, bloom at full). Im using fox farm ocean forest soil too. They are under a 600watt MH light, 24/0 cycle. Temps have stayed a constant 72-75 degrees. Humidity is lower than what i wanted, been using a humidifer, its usually between 50-60%. Shouldnt that be more closer to 80-90% during seedling and early veg stage, right? I think there looking good, what do yall think?
Mold grows at 80% humidity so don't go there. 50-60 is nice. Mine are at 45% and they do just fine. as far as everything else it looks nice bump up the grow big slowly and you'll have Huge returns in Veg
Cool thanks guys! Gonna keep them in the 3gal containers they are in now till harvest....was thinking on doing 5gal containers, but when i read thru and watched Jorge Cervantes book/dvd , he recommended 3gal. I got one 3gal container with 3 plants in it now, they are getting there own containers tomorrow when i purchase more soil.
Your near my favorite hydro shop in the usa Growco 1042 Michigan Street NE Grand Rapids Anyways I'll Be watching this thread for progress Talk to you later and good luck
Here they are 11 days later. They are about 1 month exactly from seed. about 13-16 inches tall, with a few being 19inches tall. They are about ready for me to switch to flowering, no ? My room is like 7 feet tall, so i figure to keep the light from them by 2ft max, (usually 18-20inchs away), i could only let them get about 5feet tall. Should i wait another week before flowering or switch now?
Well I'm in the middle of growing blue cheese I'm in day 31 of flower and I vegged for 6 weeks my plants are about 4-5ft they get really bushie to. By the way Im working with 7 ft to and I've got an air cooled setup, and Im starting to run out of room. I would switch to flower very soon.
Nice to see a fellow MI grower on GC. I hope you have your card, and if you don't, why not?! I'm assuming you do, since you are growing 12 plants exactly. As to answer your question about flowering, I would flip the switch now. In fact I would have done it like last week... I noticed you have a couple of very sativa like plants in there. Expect it to double or triple in vertical growth in about 2 weeks time of 12/12. The others will get bushy, and tall, but the sativa will just get tall. Flip it now, if you have adequate light for flowering all of those plants you will have way more bud than you know what to do with, trust me on that. Also, what kind of light you planning on using for flowering, and how much. For 12 plants I hope you are using a couple 600 watt HPS or a 1000 watt HPS... or more . BTW, Kalmazoo 49004 right here, when you get a harvest come on down, I'll trade some of my hashberry and ak-47 x blueberry for some of your haze and white rhino .
yep got my card, im a patient. I will put into flowering asap then. I only have 1 600w HPS, you think i should get another 600w ?
Yeah you might want to invest in another 600 watt hps if you want the fullest capability out of those twelve....
