2019 Winter Indoor Grow

[ISK]

This is my 2019 winter grow, with two Green Crack in 3 gallon hempy buckets (100% perlite, with a soil cap), still using GH Maxi-Grow/Bloom plus Cal-Mag.

My new camera doesn't have a date stamp, so I'll input the date manually

Feb 15, 2019 - used a CFL closet for the first few weeks

Green Crack 1 - they are getting too big to sit on my kitchen countertop, so I'll have to start feeding them in the tent



Green Crack 2 - this gal is shorter and fatter.


in the tent


2 brand new babies, which are Dwarf Low Flyers (auto-fem's).
I'll use sunshine on these when available and/or a few hours in the tent, or the CFL closet when the tent is dark

The Green Crack gals are doing well...I feed them in the bathroom so I could get better pics, but they are getting heavy after feeding so I won't be doing this for long

GC1


GC2 - you can see the water pouring out the bottom hole


The two "Dwarf Low Flyers" get light 24 hours/day, including sunshine, CFL's after sunset and also CMH when lights are on

DLF1 is in the 1 gallon waste paper basket, and is doing quite well
DLF2 is in the 2L pop bottle which flopped over while in the rock wool, so I buried it deep with lots of soil holding it up...seems to be okay for now



The family in the tent

 

[ISK]

March 10, 2019 - both of the Green Crack sisters are in pre-flower now

GC1


GC2 - shorter but fatter


DLF1 - growing very slow, likely because my temps are rather low


DLF2 - this puppy is a goner, will likely be tossed by tomorrow unless it perks up


The Family

March 17th - Happy St Paddy's day

The Green crack gals are coming along..and the DLF is starting to kick into gear

March 23, 2019 - gals are doing well ....GC1 on the left, CG2 on the right

The leaves are really praying on the GC1


it seems GC2 is progressing better, even if it's a bit shorter




and the DLF...which is growing slow, or maybe I'm just being impatient

Looking very nice mate...

The Green Crack gals are doing okay, but I am concerned how GC1 (left) is praying so much.

I don't think a bit of praying is a bad thing, but this is extreme...and CG2 (right) is not praying at all, with the exact same overall conditions







and the DLF is being rather disappointing, the base was looking thinner than the main stock so I added extra soil to support it, but that wasn't enough as the damn thing flopped over, so I have added a stick and tie-wrap to hold it up.

This DLF is appearing to be another Crap King misfit......very disappointed with their products


Revamped the tent a bit....added a smaller inline fan (~ 200 CFM) to run at night as the 420 CFM inline fan is a bit loud at night and doesn't really need that much air flow during the cool nights.

I was using a small 110 CFM bathroom fan, but it's a bit too weak...also but a box under the tower fan to get a bit more height to match the plants

The gals are doing okay, GC1 is still praying like crazy but seems to be healthy enough

BTW: the Crap King DLF (Dwarf Low Flyer) was doing so sad that I killed it....so sence flogging a dead horse

 

[smokebros]

LOL holy shit dude, I don't think I've ever seen a plant pray that hard. damn, nice work.

April 14, 2019

the gals seem to be doing okay, but GC1 continues to pray

 

[ThatSpudGuy]

looking good bro

 

[ISK]

Happy 4/20

The upper leaves of my gals are starting to fade and twist....which makes me think something isn't quite right, but not sure what

The buds on my Green Crack gals are quite red in comparison to my previous grow but this grow is using the 315 CMH as opposed to last year when I used my 600 watt HPS

 

[ISK]

April 28, 2019

The upper leaves of the gals continue to fade fast, but yet the lower leaves look perfect....go figure as usually it's the bottom ones that fade out first.

I'm guessing at least 2 or 3 more weeks until harvest

The gals are doing okay but yet seem to be progressing slower than expected....in comparison to last years grow

GC2 - which I believe will be the best of the two


GC1 - still praying like crazy


GC1 left, GC2 right

 

[ISK]

May 12, 2019 ....Happy Mother's Day

Gals are not progressing as fast as previous grows....or maybe I'm being impatient.

The upper leaves on GC1 (left) are praying so much that they blocking a lot of light, this may be hindering the growth



GC2 (right) is doing better, but still behind my previous grow which I used a 600 watt HPS (same Green Crack seeds)


Clipped a few dead leaves from GC1

May 18, 2019

not much progression in the last few weeks....will likely need a couple more weeks before harvesting

There is defiantly something off in your grow,
If I had to guess without seeing it first hand I would say several things are probably wrong with your grow,
It is difficult to grow unless the conditions are dialed in.
Light, air rotation and air changeover , temperature of the room , both lights on and lights off temperature and humidity levels.
Next comes PH of the soil or media you are growing in. This is super critical because if it's not correct the plant can not uptake the nutrients it needs and wants. You are having several of these problems going on at one time. You need to take each of these problems and address each one , one at a time until all of these problems get solved.
I show very few of my pictures of my grows over the years, a friend of mine recently asked why in the past I always showed my room and equipment more then I showed my plants, my answer is on indoor marijuana growing it is the room that grows the plant. The plant can not live and succeed without the proper room and conditions set
