Starting new grow!!!!!!!!!!

[oldleave53]

Im starting a few seeds and was thinking of putting the entire grow here for interested growers to follow and give me advice. I have grown a few grow's nothing ever came out top notch until my last grow I did Lemon Skunk from Green House and Mkage from TH Seeds. This time I am trying WW from Dinafem and Bubba Kush, Vanilla Kush and Blue Cheese all from Barney's Farm. I am a very small time grower and I will take all the (experienced) advice I can get. Sorry if the word (experienced) has offended anyone but I have seen some very stupid advice that even I know isnt true on here, LOL. Now my set up is vegging in a 2*4*5 tent with 12-26w 5000k and 4-55w 2700k. My medium is a 2 part FFOF and 1 part FFHF with a 1/4 cp of dolamite lime. I will flower in a 3*6*8 tent with 1-2*4-8 bulb T5HO with half and half, and a small 1*2-4 bulb T5HO mix (thats all I can fit without adding some cfl's on the floor). I plan on using just the FF trio just before I start to flower but that is still atleast 5 weeks away. This is what I've got so far. They are 7 days old now. Thanks for input or advice.

Is this even the right forum to start a grow thread? I've seen them in other forums. I just assumed because I was growing with all flo then this would be the place.

Best of luck on the new grow.. It's helpful that you already have some experience behind you. I'm a first time grower myself, just started this March 2012...

What kinda lights did you use on your previous grows? I'm using all cfl's for my first grow..

I have never used anything but CFL's and T5. I'm a small time grower and I have always been completely satisfied with my yeilds. My biggest upset with previous grows was the taste it always tasted exactly the same until I started using FFOF and that made a HUGE difference in getting the actual flavor of a particular strain. I will live by FFOF and FFHF.

Correction my Bubba Kush is Greenhouse Seeds not Barney's Farm.

 

[oldleave53]

Wow these girls have almost double in size in just a day in a half. Im liking what Im seeing so far. Only day 9 LOL. I am way to excited about this grow too soon. Ive been wiating to grow some BK.

 

[AP2K]

Hey man you're supposed to be excited. That's part of the fun of this hobby! I'll be watching, as I am entering into my 2nd grow now, my first one was a total failure. And I'm using some similar supplies in my grow. Good luck.

Here is an update on the girls at 14 days, as far as I can tell everything looks good. I transplanted straight into 3 gallon pots (some say it bad to do some say its ok) a few days ago.Bubba KushVanilla KushBlue CheeseWhite Widow

Nice selection of strains would like to see how the strain from greenhouse seeds turn out since they have realy reasonable prices . Setup is also crazy that much 26 watters should do a very nice job read they have one of the best lumen per watt rate and can be postioned so close . Goodluck with the grow subbed .

 

[oldleave53]

Here they are at day 24. Looking fairly good other than I think I need to move my lights a little further away so they can strech out a bit. As you can see my Blue Cheese is starting to get some yellowing on the bottom. There is also 3 clones I cut from a bagseed plant and I just thought I would try my hand at cloning so I cut them off put a little clonex on and straight to soil, I cant believe all 3 took off so well on my first try.

Hey man you will get a million different opinions but my opinion is, absolutely anything that Greenhouse developes is pretty damn good. As far as the lights go I will never use anything other than CFL's for vegg. I just added a few more since I added some clones to the tent. Thanks man.

 

[Kieshed]

Same here there program is also awesome shows how they source their genetic that strainhunters show . Try the only real acid test is too just grow them . For those clones did you put them in a humidifier dome or not or just take the cuttings put some clonex on them and put them strait into soil under the lights . Think you can get you`re lights closer to your plants as they look a little droopy but dunno if thats just your fan blowing on them . Nice work on the clones been growing for years and I`ve still never done the process cheers mate .

 

[Jbtrc]

Great lookin girls there....mind if i borrow your green thumb for some clones?

 

[oldleave53]

Two of my girls are having a bit of trouble and I'm no Botanist, so I could use some help please. Ive been waiting for this grow for a while now and I dont want to lose anything. Take a look at these sick kids.View attachment 2269436Someone said it was a mag diff and to add some Epsom to a gall of water but Im not sure how much salt to water ratio. Any help is very much appreciated.View attachment 2269437

 

[Kieshed]

Add a 1/4 of a teaspoon per every gallon of water or 3.78541 litres . Tell me did you use anything around you`re close like a humidifier or like a clear bowl or anything or did you just take the clones and put them in the soil under the lights ? .
Def looks like mag deficiency could also be some kind of acidic burn from that potting soil as it contains a little bark but i doubt it . Just try find the best potting in most cases garden soil owns those potting soils ,the plants leaves should not look so detailed and leathery .

 

[oldleave53]

Yes I used a clone dome for the clones for about 3 days and then to the tent. And as far as the soil goea I think your right. When I first started growing I use very cheap Mirical Grow potting soil, I never checked ph in water or soil and no nutrients. Now I started using the expensive FFOF, always checking PH and going strickly by the book and doing everything that you should do and sibce I started doing this I havent had a single plant turn out AT ALL. I think I will be better off if I just go back to the old way with shitty soil and regular tap water and absolutly no nutes.
