Lmaoooo.. Nah, no need for all that. & thanks. Not to get all mushy & shit, but I get this way when it comes to my marijuana. I really appreciate all the help & support, u really give me the confidence to continue my grow when I start second guessing shit.. I do have faith (I guess) in seed companies , hid lights, fox farm nutes etc. I mean I have to.. I invested a lot of time & $ n2 this. & before I did that I did a whole lot of research so it's not like I just went into this blind.. But every now & again I just have a little doubt.. & all I kno is commercial bought bud!! So even though I have seen all these threads of people with this amazing looking bud... I have never actually had a friend or known anyone who has been successful nor have I done it myself.. So I can't help but think.. Is this really what they say it is?? & am I really capable of making quality "high grade bud" and completely support my habit with only my home grown??? But I thought hard about this before I even made these investments & felt like I could accomplish this & my investment would b worth it.. So I guess I shouldn't be second guessing now. But anyway .. Thanks again
I too did a bunch of research before I began and its always the best. I recommend the Grow Bible by Jorge Cervantes. You can get it on amazon for less than twenty bucks, $10 if you get the kindle version, but I enjoy the colorful pics of the book. Anyhow, I just wanted to reassure you that the nice grows that you are reading of are indeed real. I got my script in October and began growing as a newbie and did very well. check out my first grow. All legit no lies.
& as far as me Lettin the white widow veg out it's top branches to 6 inches.. They were doing well , got to about 4-5 inches I'd say, but unfortunately I just topped all four of the tallest shoots before I read your response lol.. It didn't really matter tho because I had remembered u told me before to veg it out to 5-6 inches before flower. So I knew before going in to top that this would be extending my veg period a little. So after debating on it (I really wanted to top the cotton candy but didn't have the heart lol) I decided that it didn't matter if I topped right now because I still have to wait about another 5-6 days to get in the area that will be my permanent grow room.. Only then will I begin flower because right now my area is not 100% light proof. When my mh goes off at night, light from outside the panda filmed area can creep in through tiny spaces. It sucks because since this is in my bedroom right now the only way I can control this is by cutting off all the lights in my room. So basically until my permanent grow is ready I have to go to sleep when my lights go off. Or I have cut my lights of (ceiling light not mh) & leave the room until I'm ready to sleep.. I'm basically being held captive by my plants, I'm living on an mj grow cycle.. I wouldn't be surprised If I grew a cola from my head when I switch to 12/12 lol.
Simmy if you grow a cola it will be hella thick and coarse hairs on it like our fros. lmfao. Ill roll u up like shorty on scary movie. lol. Instead of a shorty we be like "cough cough, pass dat simmy"
& as far as the feed I decided to go with to help the fan leaf situation that cotton candy is experiencing... I didn't use the fox farm big bloom.. I instead used the sea minerals form advanced floriculture, it has most of the same ingredients as the fox farm big bloom but is a tad bit more concentrated tho.. If this doesn't work.. I will go to my last resort, flushing.. I think that maybe my cc might have a salt build up in the soil from me feeding & I fear it may be killing al the small "feeder roots" or something.. So if I see no improvement from the sea minerals .. I will probably flush next week or atleastcvefore I begin flowering
Personally bro I, every 3rd watering, use just water.(It helps to keep away stored up salts.) And every watering 10-20% overflow. (well not overflow but drain out the bottom.
On a side note I noticed something a little weird with my green love potion that started earlier this week, I never mentioned it because I just didn't think it was too important & I would simply keep an eye on it. I noticed a small black line on a fan leaf like somebody rubbed tar on it , or it looks kinda like someone took a black magic marker and made a line.. I saw another black line just like it appear about a day or two later... Now today both of those leaves with the lines have a spot or two on them thatclooks like it was bleached or something, it's a light yellow spot really but it's really pale .. Like if u spill bleach on a Colored shirt.. Idk, just something to watch I guess idk if I'm going to have access to a camera today, but if I do I'll try to take pics of everything so u can see
pics are always great.
& my my second batch of clones all look VERY healthy.. I still can't see roots in the plastic cups so idk if it really made a difference from the jiffy cups besides the fact that the plastic cups were bigger & so where the clones from the second batch which ivthink contributed to the overall health of this batch. Even though I can't see roots, I do believe these clones probably rooted about 3 days ago.. I have removed the humidity dome about a day & half ago & all 3 clones are heathy and the leaves are perked up like photosynthesis is already occurring. I have also been plucking at the stems every now and again to check & they feel pretty sturdy!! When can I place clones directly under metal halide light??
