Hi all, new grower here. First grow was disastrous towards the end. I had a big temperature problem that I wasn't able to get under control which ruined flowering. I wasn't ready to start growing Now I've got a better grasp of the environment and I started a new grow that's roughly 6 weeks in. I'm looking to see if there is anything glaringly wrong about the look of my babies. Top left is Cali OG Kush/Haze, it's about a week behind. The two others are Dark Angel
They will look great a couple weeks into 12/12. It will stretch beautifully I bet Sent from my SM-G950U using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Thanks dude, thought I'd post an update. I give them about a 130ml of water every day at 8:00pm. I thought that would be too little but they look okay I guess? No nutes yet, too worried about fucking it up Day 53
the 1st grow might not have went well, but it sounds/looks like it taught u A LOT, this run is looking awesome.!! remember....... from the start of 12/12, those girls will be 4 times bigger at the end of flower, Do you have an estimated flip date.? (one more wk, 4 more, 6....???) Are you going to pot up one more time for flower.?
Thank you for the feedback. I think soon would be a good time, 7-10 days. It's mostly the one closest to the camera that seems to me to be a little small compared to the one that's behind and to the right. They were planted at the same time. In fact, the one at the top left was planted 1 week after the other two, and it seems to have caught up at least in size I moved my light closer to it about 4 days ago just a little in case it wasn't getting it's fair share. What does potting up mean?
if they get any bigger they will need transplanted to a bigger pot before flower. what kind/wattage light r u gonna use for flower.?
Just sitting down for some lunch. Thanks for your feedback guys. These pots are hand-me-downs from a fellow grower who mentored me for awhile. IIRC, he made it through a full grow using these up until harvest. I've never transplanted a plant this big obviously, seems challenging to me. Metal Halide for the flowering bulb but I'm unsure of the wattage. Another hand-me-down part. I'll have a second look at it tonight. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but what a fulfilling experience it is to grow from seed on your own. I have two kids and these plants give me a lot of the same feelings my kids do when their well behaved. It's almost like I feel connected to them, I smile and I can feel them smiling back. I never thought I'd give a shit but I'm feeling so much excitement as the days go by.
the good thing is...... after 20+ yrs of growing a lot of that excitement is still here.! they will make it through harvest, but watering will get very frequent, maybe once a day or more.......?????? about what size r the pots they r in.? hell man, I m finishing plants in less then one gallon of coco mix.!! with covers on top, the roots fill 90+% of the mix and only need watered every 1-2 days at their peak.
Sorry for the late replay @Slow Old Guy These are the pots. About 9.3 gallons is my math is right So the bigger the pot, the bigger the roots.. more watering for more roots I guess? I'm not exactly sure.
they r bigger then they look in the pics.!! 9 gallon should do it, 5-15 gal is kinda standard. they r looking great man, might need to start a bloom fert when u flip em to 12/12.!
You may want to transplant. I have about 15 plants in the same size pots you do about, and I have to water them... every....single.....day.
Thank you I don't mind that too much, if that's the only drawback. Gives me something to do. How much bigger would you go?
Day 12 of 12/12 They got big, fast. Tips of some leaves became yellow I believe because they were closest to the light. A little bummed about that Got a bottle of floranova bloom but haven't started it yet
They're looking wonderful. I like fabric pots simply for how easy transplanting is. Roll the pot off the root ball. I'm currently in a 30ish gallon plastic pot and regret it.
