Good Afternoon
Recap ...
This one sprouted on 12-10-13. My nutes are
this. I have never used it before, but got a really good deal on it @ local hydro. In fact ... I have not used nutes at all before
My medium consists of
this and Sta-Green All Purpose Potting Mix with Fertilizer. (All I could get at the time. not that i am disappointed
) PH (run-off) has been 6.0. the temps have been 72-80, which tends to dry out the leaves ever so slightly so I foliar feed it a couple, 3 times a day. It seems to love it. And the RH has been 30%-40%. With my current conditions I really have no way of kicking up the RH, but the foliar'n seems to do the trick.
Im using 4 cfl 27w 6500k for veg.
This growing stuff is the bomb. Fun as hell and keeps my anxiety down. lol (not kidding tho)
I gave my 1st nutes 14 days ago. 2 waterings then a 2nd round of nutes. (2 days ago) I used a 1/4 of what the bag says. I also noticed that the 1st one was a bit hot so on the second I used the same amount. All looks good.
I started lst'ing and "super cropping" I think thats what they call what i am doing (pinching and bending) early I guess ... 10 days or a week old. Its working tho. On one of the pix I put a red line to show how the mainline is running. The plan was/is to run it somewhat around the pot while elevating as it grows to keep the new growth the same as the older. Trying to have a even canopy. we will see. Next time I think i will start at the side and go straight across the pot and see where it goes from there.
I have NOT fim or topped at all. I still have no idea on sex so I am not sure if I will grow it out even if male (for experience) or keep dropping beans until i get a fem. At that rate though, I will never get some quality smoke. Thats what i am shooting for btw, quality smoke
duh lol
If it turns out to be fem ... I hope to clone the shit out her. You know ... the whole ceed ordering phobia !
I plan on just lst'ing and SC'ing this time around. Next time maybe fim/top while lst. I am sold on this lst though. Lay that bugger on its side and I cant stop the "tops" from popping up. They all think the are tops ... rofl
I really didnt plan on the SC'ing, but I had too. Have to move some of the big stuff. And with my current light configuration, I can put one or two lights closer to make those leaves twist how I need them too. YaY Funny how they look when an upside down leave twists toward the light.
I was luck right off to find a nice distance from lights because ya really dont know til ya do it. The nodes are very tight. At least I feel they are.
Hope I didnt forget anything ...
On with the pix

I am very happy so far. Hell , I never grew anything before. But plan on much more !
Ok ... Should I count on this to almost triple in size when I flip to 12/12 ? (or close too) Height and girth or ?
Thanks Chief for the hijack ... lol
Thanks for the catch Art
