Hey everyone, im back again in my second grow, this time it's not some funky bagseed. Got 5 Nirvana Feminized Blue Mystic seeds. I'm holding on the 3 of them, going to plant those elsewhere. Right now I have germinated and planted 2 of them. They are in 6x6 pots with plastic over them. One I will be growing out in the open under my HPS and one will be grown in a PC box I have rigged with 3 CFL's and lined the inside with mylar like material. I'm working with: Floralux 150W HPS mini 3 CFL's [Grow Box] Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil [No more miracle grow!] 5 speed CPU fan, [Need to get a few more] As for now any suggestions on nutes would be appreciated, there is a very good Hydro store by me that has fox farms big bloom, dyna grow etc. I am also going to attempt to LST both plants. I have never done this before so any help and tips on LST'ing [When & how to do it] would be highly appreciated! Thanks --
Cool, always good to see nirvana seeds growin. So you're goin to have them in seperat boxes? I have the 150 watt susyst. hps in combonation with another 150 watts in cfls for like lower lighting. I'll be watchin though
Yup, one growin normally under the HPS whilst the other is in a PC grow box. I would put pics up, but it would just be of pots filled with soil. They havent broken earth yet but i'll have some good pics up when they start moving.
Update, one out of the two broke earth, looking healthy, I just dont like the way she's crooked and weird looking. I propped it up on a toothpick. Im hoping the other one will break earth soon, hope its not a dud.
Well sudden change of plans here folks! No longer using the HPS, we're now operating with a grow box, a pretty nice one I say! ] Nirvana Feminized Blue Mystic, one seedling, approx 15 days old from sprout. Got one fan running, has a 5 speed setting, its currently on low right now, just enough to keep the heat out and her stem strong. Gonna use the other fans when the smell kicks in and to control humidity etc. Foxfarms Ocean forest soil, 6x6 pot. Planning on LST'ing, any help doing this would be appreciate, especially WHEN to, because many people say different times so help and tips would be appreciated. No nutes yet, going to pick some up this weekend, probably some dyna grow or fox farms vegging nutes. Any feedback, help and tips will be appreciated, especially on when to LST Thanks all!
Another update: I noticed that her leaves are curling, not in a taco fashion indicating heat stress but more of an angled curling. This happened during my first grow, and all of the leaves that started curling like this eventually turned yellow, got brown splotches dried up, shriveled and died off. Can anyone tell me what this could be? The leaves look like you took your index finger and thumb and just squeezed and twisted them, not enough for them to rip or tear but just enough for the leaves to bend. Anyone know what this is?
Growing taller and the leaves are getting bigger, however, what the heck is up with the freaky twisted/curled leaves?! I still cant find out whats the problem! I also discovered a few tips of the leaves have turned white. Could this be because of over lighting? I have 4 CFL's at 100W combined and she is about 5-6 inches from them, with the fan blowing on her. Exhaust fan is on full blast keeping the heat out. Anyone know what the problem could be?
Hey folks, started my first time LST today. I hope I did it correctly I am wondering if she will need a bigger pot, however I am not sure if transplanting an LST'd plant is safe. Tips anyone? ? Thanks!
Approx day 27 from sprout My attempt to LST her has gone good so far, leaves are getting bigger, shes lookin good. Took this pic today just a few minutes ago.
Yeah it's a hole. I accidentally poked a hole in the leaf with the wire I used to LST her with it's all good though.
Got a therm/hyrdometer, Current temp is 79, with 44% humidity, a little warm. It's hot day over here today surprisingly. Transplanted her into a bigger pot, got some fox farms nutes, shes lookin good so far, just showing a little signs of heat stress. The leaf tips are curling up a little and turning white at the tips.
Well shoot your gal is lookin great. What size pot is she in now? The 6x6 was what, like 2 gal? I shoot for the 4-5 gal size, I dont like my plants to be too root bound, unless you're prepairing for some size limitations. You should try the scrog method, I think it would really be benaficial, for your grow.
Yeahh I'd like to have a bigger sized pot but space is an issue. I have a nice huge pot, but it doesn't fit in the box so I had to get one slightly smaller. I don't know what the size is, the pot doesn't say what size it is. I have been looking into the scrog method, however I have no clue what the scrog method even does or how it works im completely clueless about it, but I def will look into it. Right now my only problem is the LST, currently I don't know which way to bend her. I'm thinking I am going to bend her counterclockwise and have her grow in a spiral/bush fashion, I hope that works out. Pics below.
So i picked up some blue mystic x afgooey today and was looking for some pics when i found your grow. Good looks on that pc grow, im starting a micro real soon as well. If you haven't tried it, blue mystic is bomb
Cool man, you gonna LST as well? Make sure to let me know when you start your journal, I'll eagerly sub to yours. I am going to update this journal later tonight with some pics.
