2x2x5 Grow Lab - Reserva Privada Headband ... [ 100w T5 veg / 250w HPS flower ]

[blimey]

Yea I think it is from lack of nutes. My plants had some yellowing of the leaves from lack of nutes around 2 weeks.

Yeah good call. ... they are tiny, but still growing tiny leaves... and yellowing from a recessive deficiency..

Yeah I just didn't think about it.... I'm so used to my ocean forest being fine for a month... the light warrior threw me off because I kind of forgot I had used it in the little pots..



They are sitting on a goldmine of nutes now... So lets see how this goes...

side note:
Today I also picked up Fox Farms nutrient line : Grow Big, Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom....... also picked up a small bottle of thrive alive

i have also had that happen as my root structure is growing then after a few weeks goes back to normal ,

with that curling tho you might wanna check how damp your keeping your soil, just something that happened to me

The soil was 95% bone dry when I took the photos of them looking like shit in their pots..

The roots were definitely getting oxygen.. Overwatering was my first guess until they started to wilt on top of the curling

Now for the first few weeks I'll only have to water this lot once a week or so.. Sweet.

Seriously Subbed. You were my inspiration to start growing. I watched one of your DR60 grows with 4 plants and you took up every possible inch it was impressive.

Now I join the journey of growing, all thanks to you, a little motivation and a little bit of cash

Excited for the SCROG!

I'm looking into a very similar set up with a 250, looking good and def subbed.

Hey verde. You could probably do 2 harvest over the winter. that would be at least 4 plants to pick a mother from. You check pH issues also with that curling? Did you add lime to the soil?

 

[Sr. Verde]

Day 22 Veg...

[Probably the best update so far]

I'm so happy to bring you folks happy plants. For once. Just in the last few days alone the difference between mediums is night and day... I no longer think that Light Warrior is ment to be used by itself.... I now feel its more like perlite, you just mix that in with regular soil to air it out and bring the heat from the nutes down...

Ocean Forest Magic:
pheno #1[looking indica thus far.. compact and bushy structure..]

pheno #2[looking sativa so far..... long node spaces, thick structure.. but no stretching..

from the side... reaching for the light like they should be doing

Seriously liking my floros so far.. I can bring them DOWNNN... temps are at 73F...45% humidity... Perfect

I feel like if I had been feeding my plants in some way in the last 15 days that they would be twice as big by now....... Oh well, they should catch up soon.



Pheno #1/#2 look pretty close so far.... I mean one looks more sativa but the height difference and node development is within a day or two of eachother... looking pretty decent for SCROG..




grow note: I'm spotting some minor, inital signs of cal/mag deficiency on the older leaves... Means that the plant isn't getting enough additional calcium or magnesium...... This is a typical problem with my plants - indoor and out... I will be picking up some Cal/Mag at the store tomorrow.

Lookin' perfect...

 

[dankshizzle]

looking good. is this your normal grow size or an experiment?

 

[Sr. Verde]

Lookin' perfect...

Thanks dude! Keep watching! Should start looking awesome in a week

looking good. is this your normal grow size or an experiment?

This is the second time i've done a run with this tent in particular... I don't have a normal size... I mean I could fit 3 medium plants... 2 large plants or 4 small plants most likely.... I'll continue to play around with all the *settings* and see what else can come from this...


I really wanted to give these headbands some space.... We will see how they do... they definitely will not be cramped though.

Hey verde. You could probably do 2 harvest over the winter. that would be at least 4 plants to pick a mother from. You check pH issues also with that curling? Did you add lime to the soil?

Yeah.... I could.... but it would be a guessing game.... If I were to ever truly clone... I would clone out maybe 3-4 promising plants from 15-20... then I would plant a few mothers, and flower out the ones I picked..... Which ever ended up with the best structure and flowers - I would pick as a mother...

If I was going to make moms in this tent..... i'd have to blindly clone from 2-3 plants... and then id have 2 mothers that I've never seen past veg ... thats not very helpful! I'd rather see all the phenos in the seeds and take a cutting from a friends plant I know is awesome to grow...

I'm looking into a very similar set up with a 250, looking good and def subbed.

Nice I'm glad... i don't see too many 250s around here but they are really nice.... I almost regretted not getting a 400w but I'm happy now --- I'm spending less on my electric bill, worrying less about temperatures (250w can't even get that hot) and just growing some fire in a small tent

Seriously Subbed. You were my inspiration to start growing. I watched one of your DR60 grows with 4 plants and you took up every possible inch it was impressive.

Thanks man! Makes me happy this journal is helping people out! I wish I saw a 250w grow like this before I purchased, I would have learned things faster.... I kind of just went for a small tent that was still awesome

Lets see your tent

 

[dankshizzle]

i have a 4x4 tent and a 2x4 tent that i use. i also have a 15x15 flowering room. i like the tents. craigslist is a great place to pick them up. i got both mine for 100$ and they were only used for 2 months. said they died in that 2 months and gave up. also got the fans and t5s with it. he showed me the pic of what he was doing. he had a 4 foot 4 bulb all the way on the ceiling with the plants on the floor. about 4-5 foot gap between the light.... it was funny. they got tall n skinny in no time...

 

[Sr. Verde]

I would bang a really ugly chick for a room with a 10x10 tent inside it.......they are beautiful....


if I had to pick between that and a really nice 100k sports car i couldn't sell... i would take the tent in a room in a heart beat..

 

[Sr. Verde]

I picked up some botanical cal/mag..... like $7 a bottle I was pleasantly surprised

Also picked up a new pre filter for my carbon filter.... the old one is like 160 days of use on it... could use a new clean cover... the old cover is super dusty and grimy


gave the two people working at the hydro shop a few cannabis infused lollipops they were pleasantly surprised by the freebies

 

[mugan]

that kind of kind of kindness deserves a medal :LOLZ

 

[Sr. Verde]

I give away more than I can keep track of.. What goes around comes around.. And I have too much for myself anyway..

 

[mugan]

word......

 

[Sr. Verde]

The ladies are doing nicely.... They are vegging pretty hard (somewhat presumably, haven't looked at them in 2 days honestly, but bitches love that )...
Also...... DAMN temps have dropped recently, and rather drastically with the weather... I have no heater in the room with the tent, I kind of rely on the lights .... I hope my little ladies will take to the chills ok!

I feel like a heater will just laugh at my electricity bill, so I'll just keep it how it's going... HPS will warm the tent perfectly if these temps persist....
As it is now day 72F/night 58-62F... I hear cannabis enjoys like 8-12F temp changes, and starts to get different coloring with lower temps locking out phosphorous... Though i have never witnessed it grow like that myself.

I'm probably going to water them today/tomorrow with nutes.. 1/4 strength to start, they will be fine on food for 2 weeks + probably but i personally find they respond better to a slow weaning than an immediate half or even full dose... Perhaps this 'organic' Fox Farms line will be easier on the plants though....


I've decided to cut back on supplements as much as I can for this grow... Keep it natural, keep it cannabis.... Ill use 'non-organic' cal/mag by botanicare..... with the occasional Thrive Alive [red]... the shop only had huge bottles of the organic so i figured fuck it and opted with the regular red stuff.... I use thrive alive when they need it and I actually find it's awesome for transplant stress if you soak the roots like a half hour before transplanting..



Now that I'm uploading this thermostat picture I'm realizing I took plant photos for you guys then must have gotten stoned and forgot to post them ... sorry
