Hello everyone. This is going to be my first grow in a really long time. I went out and got a lot of the stuff that I need. Variety and # of seeds planted: 3 Total - Fem'd Super Lemon Haze, Big Bang, & The Church Medium: Happy Frog Potting Soil Nutes: Lights: 5 Floros 4 daylight 1 soft white for veg; 400w HPS for flower Date seeds were germ'd and planted: 2/19/10 So I just put together my cabinet today and got it all wired up and the power strip mounted. I still need to cut a hole for fresh air to come in but I dont have the right saw so I'll have to go get it. I need to figure a way to stop the light from leaking as well. So I numbered each cup cup 1 is Big Bang. Cup 2 is The Church. Cup 3 is Super Lemon Haze. 3 so far is the only one fully sprouted so far 2 is sticking her head up a little and 3 should be up tonight. Here is 3: Thanks for looking guys I hope to get some help from any that can since I am pretty new to this.
Just started germing a AK-48 to add into the mix. I'm reading a lot of people are having problems with the church so I'm hoping I wont have issues.
Day 4 getting bigger 1&2 are getting fat and 3 is skinny but they all seem to be about the same size. I know these are a little boring in the little stages but any comments would be great. This is about what it stays at, is this an ok temp and humidity? 1: 2: 3:
Comin along nicely 1 is lookin nice and fat: I cant tell if 2 has some discoloration or not what do you guys think? And skinny little 3
Day 8 the ladies are getting bigger now and looking healthy the only one that looks strange is number 2 which is the church and I have heard people are having problems with this strain. I know these are in the boring stages but any help on the church would be appreciated.
Ok so its day 12 and the ladies are looking good but there are a few things that I;m concerned about. One if the plants the leaves look like they are curling a little bit, one has some brown spots and the other one has some discoloration. I'm not using any ferts yet but was thinking about adding a tiny bit but I'm not sure if I should yet. Cant tell if the leaves on this one are normal or not. Some brown spots on the bottom leaves. Here is the church the leaves have light spots on them. The baby
Looking good for your first go. Don't worry about the Church -- just give it time and it should be fine -- I have one I grew from seed flowering right now and it's one of the better seeds I've ever popped I'd say. As to your leaf curl -- since you haven't added nutes it might be an issue with your soils pH -- you get weird twisted growth when pH fluctuates and is out-of-whack. If you have the funds I would invest in pH testing equipment -- otherwise you're just going to have to ride it out and perhaps it will fix itself eventually, especially since your plants are so small and young. I personally would not add ant nutrients yet, especially if you're going to be using the FF line of nutes. Wait til they are a bit bigger and can handle it.
Day 20 Ok so I have had some problems with my little girls, the 3 seeds from greenhouse seeds are just lot liking anything and are having a lot of problems, the ak 48 looks amazing and is now bigger than the rest even though it started after. I dont really know what I should do with the plants that are having all these problems. I think once they are getting bigger if they look like they wont make it at least I can get some clones off of them hopefully. 1: 2: 3: 4: I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Ok so I started flowering my plants I have 3 I gave up on the church. I mixed up which one is which so I am just going to be surprised haha. They are looking pretty good and are on about day 28 of flowering. They dont seem to be getting a whole lot bigger they might be and its just hard to tell but I'm sure they are working on the buds more than growing as a plant. Any tips would be great. The setup it looks kind of ghetto but it works. All 3 I think from top left around clockwise Ak48, super lemon haze, big bang Some Bud shots:
So a lot of my lower leaves are dying off I dont know if that is normal or not. I am getting antsy to start flushing for harvest but I dont think they are ready yet.
For some reason these didnt grow very big or tall and I'm not sure why maybe I didnt let them veg long enough? Any tips would be great I want to make sure my next batch is going to grow nice a big. Here is a picture of the next batch, Top left clone; top right LSD; bottom clone. Not sure what clones they are because I am unorganized and mixed them up.
