My new closet grow

[HotShot7414]

1 plant is about 2 weeks, 2 plants 1 week and the rest planted within the past 1-3 days. Strains gg4 og and random bag seeds(good stuff) I had laying around. 400w mh/hps batwing. Soil is my own mixture that involved a lot of composted (3 pots) The rest of the pots have Mg nature cure organic potting mix. I fed once so far and they love it. Vigoro 24-8-16 at full strength. I don't recommend that strength on sativas (my oldest plant). The pot and cup with dirt exposed have sprouts with the shell still on. This is gonna be a scrog grow, I usually go traditional.

Looks good man, should be a fun grow. The gg4 probably isn't gg4 unless it was bagseed as well, in which case the seed is most likely crossed with a different strain. Gg4 is a clone only strain. What type of lighting are you using?

Your soil is terrible dude. Get rid of that Mulch and get some perlite going in the mix.

Lmao, I didn't even look at the soil, I was set on the gg4 issue. Yeah that shit belongs in a park playground.

The mulch is on top of the soil for various reason but isn't mixed.

That mulch can affect the soil pH

It's been 2 days and my plants don't seem to mind. One of my solo cups stretched a lot and too top heavy.

The soil ph would be affected over time. You wouldn't notice any problems in 2 days time. Your plants will mind, however, when your ph is 4 in a month from now

Gg4 used to be clone only.

Just a quick update. The mulch helps a lot, I haven't watered in about a week and my pots are still heavy. Without the mulch I'd have to water every 2-3 days. Still too many nutes in the soil though cause the sativa got a lil burn on 1 leaf.

I got 2 fans, which one is better? 1 oscillates and the other doesn't. Don't mind my feet lol

I like the oscillating one. Dont have to water all that much bcuz the mulch retains a lot of water. I wouldn't use mulch for my soil as i like my soil light and airy. I do use fox farm ocean forest it has some wood chunks in it but i usually take em out. I do cut with alot of perlite. I still only water about every 5 days or so. Wet and dry cycle is what i like to do. Heavy to light feeling pot then water lol. Your gals are looking really nice!

Gg4 will always be clone only. The 4 represents the cut. If you self it to get fem seeds there will be varience. Still be gg, but the #4 goes right out the window.

I would imagine your closet isn't gonna be big enough for all those plants. Especially if you're running a full sativa, and then indica, and then hybrids. Your canopy is gonna be all over the place. And with the stretch of the sativa you'll have to raise your light up to high. And the others won't get enough light, bc of the heighth. And they are right. In a month or so. That mulch will leech out shit they dye it with. And you're gonna have terrible ph issues. Been there, done that. I ended up scrapping the plants bc I couldn't get it under control. Good luck though. They look pretty good so far. Just some constructive criticisms. Don't take any offense.

Well I happen to know it was clone only. But I also happen to know it's seeds now. But don't take my word for it. Just look it up

I'm going to get rid of the mulch but all the plants will be under a screen soon.

I apologize, good call sir.

Topped and tucked some leaves under. This plant is gonna have a lot of tops. Most of the lower branches already at the top.
