My First Grow

[drdavegreenthumb]

Late start on the thread. I'm new here (RIU and California) and this is my first grow. I'm growing in a old greenhouse that hasn't been used in years. I had to clean it out, plastic it up, and change out a few green roof panels for clear ones (couldn't afford to replace them all, that will be next year). Made some homemade boxes for plants and used a couple buckets for the others.

Started around 5/21
MG soil
Hose water
All dispensary clones
-Deadhead OG
-Gods Gift
-Cinderella 99
-Guido
-Querkle
-Purple Dragon

Took a few cuttings a couple days ago and trying to get some clones going. Clonex, straight into soil. I took one of each plant so we'll see how they do as well.

[drdavegreenthumb]

Well I never use MG but it should have all the nutes and shit ya need to last for some time.... if you are going to add nutes and shit.... always start at a 1/4 streangth and work up from there. in veg mode your wanting high nitrogine fertz and bloom high p and K but low nitro something like 3-20-20 Maxsea. Im using maxsea 16-16-16 with a tsp of epson per gallon and my ladies love it... just do what ya think in your heart is right if ya dont know Google that shit.. PEACE!! p.s. YOUR LADIES WILL TELL YOU WHEN SOMETHINS UP..JUST PAY ATTENTION.

here we are week 9 update. TP all the ladies into 20 g grow bags a few days ago. they were already pretty rootbound so im kicking my ass for not TP sooner but ill learn for next grow. in order, deadhead og, gods gift, cindy99, purple dragon, querkle, guido, and a family photo. the 1st 3 are my bigs, last 3 are my smalls. gods gift looks amazing. super short and fat with minimal space between nodes. just think if i was more experienced and cood actually reduce stretch in my plants and get them to bush... great strain so far tho.







for my 1st set of clones they all took root (yes! cuttings straight in to soil) and are in shade getting hardened off. i hope they grow alright and can produce a lil something more for my yield cuz they were just an experiment.

let me know wut yall think! 1st grow but im not afraid of criticism i only want to improve.

 

[BigJon]

You're trippin bro. Your garden looks every bit as beautiful as mine! I'll be keeping an eye on this.

 

[BigJon]

I'm envious of your querkle. I wanna try her so bad! They are all female if you got the clone from the club. No worries.

One thing I've read on people using miracle grows soil is that their time released fertilizer can burn plants during flower. I heard many say a good flush in the beginning will solve that. I have no clue. I don't have the bias most growers do against MG. I plan on getting some mg all purpose to experiment on one of my GDPs.

 

[drdavegreenthumb]

ya i havnt had ne problem w. MG yet and its the moisture control (supposed to b worst kind) but next grow ill have more cash n knowledge so ill have a better setup. i can tell it did burn the shit outa a few of my clones tho so i hope they pull thru.

----------------------------------------------------
Purple Dragon-faunt

• Classification: Sativa (60%)/Indica (40%)
• Growing Environment: Indoor/Outdoor
• Flowering Time: 8 – 9 weeks
• Yield: Light to moderate
• Location: Northern California
• THC Content: High
• Medical Uses: Depression, anxiety, migraines, glaucoma, chronic pain relief, inflammation, loss of appetite
• Breeder: Willy Jack

Cannabissearch.com Buzz Rating: Sweet and slightly fermented flavor, similar to red wine, with a smooth fruity exhale. This strain is very uplifting and would be great for those with depression or anxiety.
This amazing strain has a royal, deep, purple that is sometimes blue. The buds are rich with tri-chromes and have long, orange hairs that create excellent bag appeal. This is without a doubt one of the better looking strains available. The nugs are solid but not dense and smell of musky grapes, similar to fresh grapes in an old, danky basement
This plant does not require meticulous care, but it does need to be allowed to get big during the vegetation stage if a decent yield is to be had. During maturation, her leaves turn a rich deep-green and purple color, producing a danky, fruity aroma.
Unlike most members of the purple family, Purple Dragon-faunt is not going to give you a terrible case of couch-lock. Rather, it’s effects begin immediately with a strong heady high and mellow, relaxing body high. This medicine can be used to treat almost any symptom or ailment associated with cannabis patients, and is mainly popular in Northern California, but is gaining more and more popularity.
