My First Real Grow Thread! Socal Style!

[TWS]

Yours are looking good. They are starting to fill in. Still would think though you should have had more growth. Aren't they like two months old or so ? The smaller plants went outside as 6-10" clones July fourth the other 2 smaller ones are revegg plants that just took off about the same time. About a month of growth to reach 2.5-3 feet. The one plant in the center

Has been in the dirt for ........ get this for 4 months> it stayed 4" tall for three months untill it finally revegged and took off. April was to early for it to be outside and froze once too. I like the smaller plants. They seem real vigrant,strong, and looks like they can really produce. Next year we won't plant outside untill june 1st.

Really haven't had to much bug damage. A few catterpillars from this little fucker

( I have seen quite a few of these around lately)

And maybe minute Thrip damage. Took care off those pest with the Spinosad. The glassy winged leaf hoppers are a different story. They seem to be uneffected by the Spinosad even though there is no visible damage they were multiplying fast and suck alot of nutrients out of the plants. I'm not kidding you but, like the article I posted on the glassy wing, they secret or piss out alot of water droplets the size of big tears ( your plant juices) even the small pupa that when dry leaves white spots that can scare the shit out of you. I fixed em though. At least The pupa residents. I sprayed some good ole trusted stuff before flowers are showing.

wow. the sour grape and skywalker which the sg is the bushiest in the felt pot about 2 months. the others are from alotaball and are about 3-4 weeks old. i bet they will get bigger. just in time. i need to transplant the small ones to 5 gallon felt pots like smart pots but generic ones with handles.. i havent really fed the small ones yet. just one time small amount. they didnt like it so i havent fed em since.bout 1.5 weeks ago. the sour grapes and skywalker have been fed but are still really small. i dont know. maybe i dont have that much light where i am. i thought i had more. i dont know why im not good at out doors. just indoor growing. but so far this is going pretty well..everything is right on schedule. and healthy. im not complaining. just going to start earlier next year. not july lol..

 

[bonghittersanber]

i think i am going to give my plants a very very weak dose of flora duo flower nutes. although maybe i should mix them so its a lil of veg and flower nutes since its transitioning to flower. but like 1ml of part a and b per gallon.that might be too much even.

 

[Kottonmouth king15]

idk guys! i went out in april.im happy.

 

[alotaball]

Bongs Tws Goped.. if you guys wanna follow the next round its in my sig.. well anyone is welcome.. im a attention whore. I dont know you Kotten .. but phuck.. I will be hitting you up when I can do outdoor again .. MONSTERS SIR... Same with TWS.. those "small" ones infront of the girls in the cages were only about 1 or 2 ft when I seen em a month ago.. now they are looking GREAT! Well done gentleman... I hope someone shares some outdoor with me . I dont know why .. even though indoor is soo purdy fragrant ect.. I still crave gods bud from the mighty sun at times

I got ya covered !

no tws i went .5 ml of veg A and 1 ml of flower B for 1.5 gallons of water. two of my small plants have a few yellow leaves at the top and some on the bottom which i take as it needs nitrogen. so i fed very weak for now.this stuff is so strong.way stronger than the heavy 16 i used before.i could add 15ml of that each part a and b for 1 gallon and nothing bad happened. this flora duo is like 10x stronger. more concentrated.

and i will definitely share some out door with you tyler since you gave me 5 of my 7 plants. the purple kushes are the biggest so far. the alien ogs are catching up and buddha is starting to grow more leaves!! starting to stretch too! no signs of pre flowers yet. so hopefully it will keep growing.

Shit ! Alotta won't have to grow anymore for awhile between his Gramps, Bonghitter,Tws,and Goped . LOL

ahhh sounds good !

I got my Exhale C0 2 bag for the GR today. Gonna put it in tonight when the lights come on.

wouldnt the exhaust fans take all the C02 produced?

 

[alotaball]

I think its a catch 22 luger .. if he turns down the exhaust .... then the CO2 will stay in the room longer from the stuff he bought. BUT since there is no way of monitering how much co2 that thing puts out.. what if lowering the exhaust actually reduces the amount of co2 because that thing emits less CO2 then fresh air.. No way to really tell..

I was gonna suggest turning off or tuning down the exhaust .. but I dont want to responsible if the CO2 maker he bought doesnt emit enough CO2 for his plants and then they die from lack of co2 because there is no fresh air lol.. SOOO UMM im out of this one lol

 

[TWS]

All good points. Most likely to be most effective I would have to turn off the inline fan/light cooling/scrubber manually for periods of time as I do not have a variable speed swich as not to exhaust it out.This brings up a cooling issue for real. The inline fan virtually removes all lamp heat. I would have to run the AC all the time. Becomes not cost effective. It was 35.00. I'm gonna throw it in there for fun mostly and just turn the scrubber off for short periods when/if I think about it. I'll put some thought into something. If I got a cheap timer with multipule on/of I could put it on the scrubber ?

 

[alotaball]

IF it was me lol.. I would prob buy a cheapy timer for your inline fan.. put it so it stays on for 12 hours straight when lights are on and have it turn on once every couple hours just to change the air during the dark period... So in theory they will be able to sit in the CO2 for a couple hours at a time during their dark cycle without having to worry about temp problems..

 

[TWS]

Does the C0 2 work in the dark period ? I thought the plants use it during the light ? I don't know though? If theres a timer that you can set at 5 min intervals maybe every 30 mins or hour ,would that work ?

 

[Luger187]

when i had my small box with a 250w hps, i had a thermostat plugged into the fan. whenever it went over like 80, it would turn on. but this causes problems during night time, as the fan never turns on. maybe if u had a thermostat/timer combo. also, make sure u watch the room for the first day or two. if something fails or u forgot to plug something in, the whole place will burn down. make sure u get a quality timer, or else it may fail while the light is on

 

[TWS]

Pre flower/vegg, I never used to have the fan on at night and they were fine but now that they are flowering the humidity and mold issues came to mind so it's been on 24/7 now. Thanks for catching my stupidity. Your right! A cheap timer would not be a good choice. Faliure can be terminal, specially onlly 8-10" from some tops. Manually, Leaves human error.

 

[alotaball]

I didnt mean a 99 cent store timer.... thermostat Idea is good.. Im not sure about CO2 intake during dark cycle.. I only suggested it to stop the chance of your temps getting out of control during lights on....

If your gonna spend money on a good thermostat/ environmental controller might as well invest in a real CO2 system.. thought the point of a cheap CO2 supplement was to stay cheap lol?

By the way .. A cheap timer ( walmart or homedepot $5-12 bucks) are rated at 15 amps.. a inline fan draws about 1 amp .. maybe 2 if yours is a beast. So at 1/15th of the rated load.. I think a cheap timer will suffice.. just my opinion.

 

[alotaball]

DEFF! Another good thing to do is put your inline fans on the same circuit if possible as your lights.. I keep mine on the same light controller .. that way if the circuit blows.. alteast your light turns off too and you dont fry your girls..

as long as the human doesnt forget to turn the fan back on!
do u know electrical stuff? if so, try having it run on a timer. but also have a thermostat in the circuit so if the timer fails and it gets too hot, it turns on the fan. just as a security measure.
i think if u use the same line input for both the timer and the thermostat, it should be ok. but if u have them on 2 seperate lines, and they both turn on at the same time for whatever reason, there is 2x the voltage going to the fan, and it will fuck shit up
