The Church and Himalayian Gold PC GROW

[joesalamon]

Always do, and they are much bigger. went from the very bottom of a water bottle to a solo cup. at least 4 times the size, if not more.

I wish they would get better already grrr, I hate it when I do something wrong.

 

[420weedman]

ouch , those solo cups are really only good for 2 weeks of normal growth from seed .....i would wait a week before replanting again but you need to get something bigger .. 1 gallon capacity Minimum

 

[420weedman]

and you did put some holes in the bottom of that cup right ?
and in that soda bottle you had them in ?

 

[joesalamon]

You forget I am growing in a PC case. I dont even think I could stick a gallon bucket in there, lol. I have harvested 3 plants already in cups not much bigger then the solo's so Im not too worried, I just want them to start filling out again and growing instead of dying off on me. They are doing the exact same thing my rhino did back when I planted it.

Yup, busted out the drill and made plenty of holes. Also filled the bottom of the cup up with a little perlite so it could breath better

forgot about the pc case part... i know they will grow out of those cups but not very well ....

i just check out your last grow .. nice dude... thats alot of time to wait for a few nugs !
+rep
i see you also had some bigger pots ... what happend to those ? .. get those babies in there !

 

[joesalamon]

other case is much much bigger and I can fit mrs in to it. But it's nowhere near as stealthy and right nw at this time it has to be. I'm working on building a new one and mve everything in there I just wanted some mothers in the meantime and then clone them.

But yeah still got the pots just not enough space for 2

 

[joesalamon]

Well I started to design a new area for my grow, I wont have much more height, but I will have about 4 or 5 times the amount of space.

Buying some new materials, Ill post up on it as it happens, as for now, cross your fingers my girls make it through

 

[joesalamon]

Day 27: Yeah, once agin this happens. I know exactly what I did wrong, its the peat moss that I have. im pretty sure it has some nutes in it becuase I didnt use it with the last seed I planted but it became male. But anyways, that seed had no problems with just this soil and perlite. I know now to throw out that peat moss.

Anyways, yeah the one girl is looking horrible, that she is going to die... I dont know, any ideas? The other though is staying green and seems to maybe be starting new growth. It would be on its 6th node if a couple didnt fall off.

 

[joesalamon]

Day 28: Nothing really new, I watered them yesterday a little with some superthrive. I hope they start to kick back in to grow mode.

The One that seems to be doing better is letting off this nice and skunky smell already, it smells great. Not sure how the other one is doing or if she is going to even survive.

DOnt look to good buddy
give your water a splash of peroxide when watering it helps aerate the roots

 

[joesalamon]

Thanks a lot for that tip, I searched that on google and found out a little about it, pretty neat. After I watered them the soil was like puffy feeling. How often is it good to do that and can I mix it with something such as superthrive. I dont think that would matter, just want to make sure.

Also, the run off on one of the plants was 8 I didnt check the other one, but I assume its the same. I think it might be either because there is still soil from the other planting around the roots or becuase there is perlite on the bottom of the cups and that is the source for the nutes that are being released.

Yea theres no problem doing that every other or every watering just dont use to much like a lil spash in the water before you water em down all good with the nutes 2 but always use 1/4 concentration on that 2
never wanna burn them babies

as for the pH i would say it might be the perlite but its usually pH nuetral so im not sure about that sorry buddy

 

[joesalamon]

nice grow dude

thanks

Only a little splash? I looked it up online and I did 3 teaspoons for 2 cups of water. Is that going to burn it? I checked the pH and it was 7 before I watered.

 

[JohnnyHitch]

Seems pretty acidic to me id cut down on it i only do a lil splash in my water
Mayb like a teaspoon or 2 in 2 or 3 cups im not sure i dont do exact measurments

 

[joesalamon]

Day 30: Well great news, I can see that the one is taking back off and is growing for sure. New growth is definitly coming in, woohoo!

As for the other, I think but I am not sure that new growth has come in... maybe a little if anything... Gotta compare pictures.

Also JohnnyHitch, if I could give you more rep I would... Thanks so much for that tip with hydrogen peroxide.. i think that helped tons!

 

[JohnnyHitch]

NO prob dude just here to help
If you want to know exactly what its doing is airating the roots usually when the dirt to packed or your roots are starting to get bound but your plants are to small for either of those so its jsut helping the roots even more!
If you really want you can find another post from me(i think even this one would werk) and click the scale on top =D thanks alot and once again ill be here till the end if you got any other questions

 

[joesalamon]

Yeah, I gave you rep right when you gave me the advice, gotta spread to give you more. But as soon as I did water them I could tell it was giving them air. The soil was really fluffy afterwords and I could see how this helps. Im glad there finally picking back up and growing, just a matter of time before I get this going again.


Oh and its time to start building the new grow area...

 

[joesalamon]

Well I started to set up the new grow area, I cleaned it out and lined the bottom with some plastic. I am going to try and get the walls all painted white and then start settings the lights up. I know I can have a lot more lights then I need in this space. Its also going to still be micro for height, but I will be able to have a lot more plants this time.

Its 17 inches tall and 34 inches wide. Its going to be a lot more fun to be growing in here than in the computer, I cant wait.
