well i havent been very happy with how things have been goin...my clones didnt react well to the transplant and alot of the leaves went like this and then died...
i think heat had alot to do with this as i wasnt able to situate the fans properly after the clean out... i planted 4 seeds...2bag seeds a 1024bean and the afghan hindu jush bean...the seeds popped with no problem but then proceeded to stretch and stretch now they are reallly tall and spindly ...i lowered a 26watter over the seedlings to see if it made a diff. u guys think if when i transplant these seedlings i can bury half the stem to lose the gap between the soil and the first node?...
the other day i was looking bac in my threads and i noticed how good my first time growin in this cab and using the techniques i do now...i have slightly changed the way i do things and imo have not been for the best...i noticed that i have been 'making it rain' but instead of feeding right after the 'flush' i wait a few days...well my last watering i gave a go at not waiting for the soil to dry or waiting an hour after the flush ..but with the help of riddleme , monitor the plants and when they perk bac up i feed, and i noticed right away that the response was great and i saw a huge diff. and improvement...be4 i would flush then wait a few days then feed...i noticed that sometimes my leaves start to yellow and then when i feed they get there colour bac, indicating stress, and later reducing yeild...so we will see if this new way of feeding will make a diff.
also another thing that i am doing different is putting my clones and seedling into a cardboard box that is really tall and always closed...no fans exhausts nothing...the heat isnt too bad but is always above 80! and becuase of the fact that watering the platns inside the box isnt at all easy, becuase the lights are clipped on and i have to reach past the lights (box is 2-3ft high a 1-2ft wide) and i usually burn myself and i have to take the pots out and set them down behind me one by one while reaching ove rthe pile of shit in there, watering and putting them bac again!...so i usually forget or procrastinate on watering them, so u can say they arent the healthiest of plants...which i think is also reducing yeild...so i think i might ditch my efforts on a perpetual grow and instead up my plant count and hopefully blow my yeilds out the water... i dont want to change too much becuase the quality of my buds have been great i just want to increase my yeild!
well enough babble...here are some pics...i was a lil embarressed to post these so i waited a while till they looked a bit better...
despite the loss of some fan leaves they are lookin alright!
