Hey there. Looking good. Just a note but I would already stick that sucker in a bigger pot. You'll get way faster growth out of your plants if you do. Anyways, good luck. We'll be watching.
Keep it green. Peace.

achaser87 · Feb 19, 2013

Thanks man, and yeah I will be transplanting it tomorrow into a 1.5 gallon pot, and again 2 weeks before flowering into a 3.75gallon to finish her off. Stay tuned!

Week 3:

Hey RIU back for week 3! Its been a busy week, shes been transplanted (day15) into a 1.5 gallon pot. Earlier in the week I went to Walmart for a humidifier and now am running 50-60% RH. Ive noticed heavy root growth growing through the drainage holes so i made a DIY root blocker. Also noticed the slightest bit of light bleaching on her. Here are some pics!

Here i added screened fabric and hot glued it tightly over the drainage holes. Flushed as a test yesterday and works great!

Here you can see the slight light bleaching, fixed this problem never progressed.

Week 4:

Back for week four RIU! This has been an interesting one.. I had a bit of pH issues earlier on this week, ended up causing her to start wilting heavily, but thats been fixed. Also, shes been topped on day 24. Shes recovered from that going great again :weed:

!

Also this week I purchased a Hanna HI 98129 Waterproof pH/Conductivity/TDS Tester. And a new lineup of nutes for vegging and flowering, FINALLY away from the Miracle Gro! Picked up the General Organics Lineup : Bio Thrive, Cal/Mg+, Bio Weed, Bio Root, Bio Bud, Bio Marine, and Diamond Black (liquid humic acid).

Now some pictures, enjoy

Hi there I myself have had to de scale and go on to CFL's, I'm just waiting on some Bubba Kush X G13 X Herijuana, maturing on its last weeks of bud in complete dark in the attic.

Just wanted to know are you going to keep the cool white spec of CFl's and add some red/warm spec CFL's with the cool/w, or just replace them all to warm/red.

At minute Ive got a 150 watt Cool white Enviro CFL, and a tiny 70 watt HPS (floodlight) and am running the lot, on 12/12. In there I have seedlings too (18-24 hrs light), to replace when I next harvest, I just take them out of the cabby when the lights go out and put them under another light till the morning when lights come on again.

I'm just in a debate weather to keep the HPS running as well, or to save it for after the stretch has stopped. I did make a mistake on my Bubba X and I left the cool white on for too long and it gave me a very leafy/stumpy plant, with reduced yield compared to normal.

Think I've just answered my own question don't you lol.
Gunna pull myself a seat for this one and whatch your girl blossum.

GreetZ Bodd.

Hey man, for veg I upgraded as she got bigger, by the end of veg i had 255 actual watts of 5000/6500k CFLS and 11 bulbs total. For flowering I have 305 actual watts. Ive read a good mixed spectrum is around 3:1. Every 3 2700k add 1 5000k or 6500k to give a more natural spectrum. But for this run I only added 1 6500k and 1 5000k. And rest are 9 2700k bulbs. I would keep the HPS in there, buts its all up to you as the grower

And thanks man its gunna be a stinky one i can tell :weed:

mr2shim · Mar 13, 2013

Nice grow so far. I'm subbed(Haven't done that in a while) for this. See how yours turns out and if mine is comparable.

achaser87 · Mar 14, 2013

Glad to have you here shim, im sure they will be comparable :blsmoke:
