Day 43
Its shitty weather here and i've spent the majority of the day with the tent wide open giving it a lot of air. Theres no smell coming from it which is really nice. I have recently had a problem with folding leaves, dark and burning tips... ive realized this is from to much nitrogen. Which is not what I originally expected. Im going to be using no nutes from now on in the grow unless I really need them. I think I dont understand the plants enough to be fucking around with nutes, because they have be the source of all my problems. And I recommend that to all growers. I'd post pictures but its really time consuming and I'm pretty lazy today. Tomorrow I hope things will clear up and it will be ok so I wont need pictures but if it continues ill put up some pictures.
I find growing weed is a lot more time consuming then I thought, ive only seen big grows of other people and they always cycle plants so timing seems a lot smaller. And they dont care to them as much because they dont have as many problems.
As I grow I realize that this isn't for someone who doesn't have their own house with a spot specifically for growing... you need a lot of stuff for the plants and i couldn't imagine doing this at a parents place or somewhere that you didn't have all to yourself... its a lot bigger process then a lot realize, especally when the smell comes on.
I've stopped posting a lot of comments with my pictures because when things are going well theres very little to say but here is an update of the grow cab:
Tent: 2x2x4 feet, by HOMEbox
Fan: a little fan I got from walmart, also a TD 100x industrial 2 speed for the top on the lower speed
Oder Block: ONA liquid that I put into expanding crystals and it sits on the exhaust (not in the tent), will have a carbon fliter by the end of next week, got the materals it will be built into the tubing and using carbon sheets from a hepa fliter
Lights: Using 8 different cfls, all 23 watt and all different types tried to mix it up when i bought them... also i have a 3 foot 26 watt T5 sunbright flor, which turns out to be very amazing and I suggest them to anyone... been thinking to knock it down to 6 cfls because I dont think they are all needed personally
I've been thinking about my next grow and things ill change next time:
- no transplanting
- less nutes
- 5 plants: 2-3 feminized and the other ones not... still undecided what ones
- debating hps or cfl
- debating grow journal and how detailed (a lot of work)
Well since its a slow day if you have any specific questions leave them and Ill get to them soon, also if you want any pictures or anything i'll post them for tomorrow
Later, and thanks for reading
