1st grow ready to go

No real change. Trying to create tight nodes. Couple seedlings finally growing . Tent was upgraded to 5x3. Not really sure how many I should be running in there to maximize my yeilds but for now i will stick to what I have. Working on setting up a little clone cabinet or tent. Space is a issue. Might get way more into this then expected but well see what happens.

Looking good so far

Thanks! Just excited to see the outcome

Some photos of what's going on. I havnt fed any plant. Two seedlings look like nutrient burn from soil already to me but I have no clue what do you guys think?. Temps are 78 . Humidity is running 65

So I took someones advice and topped the donnatello, as for the other seedlings there still just coming along. Started a little later and I just germinated and popped a few more in. The blueberry ak 47 was no good. I got rid of about 3 different strains that just didnt pop. Now I added in a feminized purple haze, 2 tangerine dream, two sky walker og , two pre 98 bubba. Might go pick up a blue dream clone and something else. Got the okay from the wife to throw up the 2x4 tent as a mother tent. She is getting involved in this and enjoying it also so it's pretty cool. We dont find alot of common ground on enjoyment to often with no time because of the kids and our work scheldules are completely opposite. No baby sitter needed. So for us it's like bonding as wierd as it may sound but I love it! Here are some updated pics

2 pre 98 bubba , 2 sky walker , 2 tangerine dream , donatello, purple crown , feminized gdp, rom x sour d , special k , white god, gods gift, blue jack, jack hammer. That's what I have going.

got a few clones added in . Gorilla glue . Fire og . Strawberry banana kush

So i been running house and garden nutes. Foliar fed everything around lights on . Waited a few hours and watered no nutes. Got a few more clones. Going to keep a few as mothers in the other tent. Topped a few plants. Everything is going good

Noticed some brown spots on a few leaves today. Next feeding i will add some cal mag. Only have had one feeding so far. And just ph water. Always around 6.2 6.3 has been working best for me. Also the other tent is going up soon as a mother tent. Going to take clones from everything and keep the best genetics out of the batch. All males will be tossed once they show. Still just vegging. Going to flip 12/12 in another week or so on the bigger plants and move the smaller plants into the mother tent until i feel they are ready. The lighting has been working very well for me. Pled 150 x2 and two t5 lights. For veg they are working perfectly for me. Flowering will be done under a 600 watt hps. And the two pleds. Getting some more lights for the mother tent. Probably going to stick to two t5s and maybe another pled. I know alot of people here say they suck but for as a supplement light along the t5s they work great . And once i start flowering we will all see how it turns out ! First of many grow journals to come!!

Got my mother tent up. Threw in the seedlings for more space in the flower tent as of right now. Have one pled in there along two t5s. (Pics were before the second was in there) i ran into a problem i had a 400 watt mh bulb running then it went out and i had to throw in thr 600 watt hps and change ballast (not to bad pretty easy) but inconvenient considering i just bought it . Other than that all my plants are doing good. Will replace light tomorrow, waiting of a few more things to arrive. I need to go get a few items and more soil. I am seeing some rust spots on some leaves so next feeding will get the full line of house and garden. Will be the first real feed with the full line instead of just a and b soil. If its still present or getting worse i have cal mag. But this is a learning experience trying to dial in so many strains at once. Some might think in crazy but if i can pull it off running one or two strains at a time compared to 20 will be waaaaayyyyy easier . And honestly if i f*** something up .... o well its a learning and growing experience gained. Thanks for reading enjoy my pics and as always leave a comment let me know what you think good or bad

Today i got my bulb replaced. Hydro store replaced it for free! Gave the girls a nice watering. Ran the full line of house and garden. Hopefully tomorrow i will see how they responded to it. Ph of water was 6.3 after mixing all them together. Threw my air stone in the mixing bucket to add some more air in the water. Things are going good as far as i can tell. Someone want to put in there two cents? So many different strains. Just threw in some more clones kens gdp, sour diesel x lemon diesel, cookies, black jack. Forevery one this is still well under my legal limit. I have a 99 plant limit. Really wanna jump the gun and just start flowering but im still waiting...... atleast another week. Gunna throw up my screen tomrrow night let them go for a week then flower. Going to take some clones off the plants in the flower tent and keep the ones i think came out best. Or maybe just keep cloning. Maybe even try to monstercrop a few . The white god unfortunately didnt make it. I was moving some stuff around and it got caught on the bottom of a tray and ripped right out the dirt.... o well. Anyways thanks for reading!

Did some topping and scrog. Going to let them fill out and flip to 12/12 next weekend. Nutrients worked good. Seen some explosive growth pretty fast. Defoliated some leaves to expose bud sites. Will post in a few days!

So everything is looking good. I have had my fans beating the hell out of everything. Everything is looking fine from my view. I have had minor issues with the plants but nothing to major or stressful atleast not yet. Everything from my water ph to feedings have been pretty good so far. Will be switching to flower this coming weekend in the scrog tent. . Stay tuned

Going to do some cloning tonight and then flip some into flower! Excited to finally be progressing and happy about my set up and how things have turned out from just one tent into two. Can’t wait to see the quality of these nugs!!! Will be watering at lights on and then changing the timer to 12/12

Little update 100 percent of my seeds have finally germinated including blueberry ak47!! Must have been a tough old seed. Also ordered some seeds from ilgm and they came quite fast!!! Literally placed the order Monday payment cleared Wednesday and they arrived today Saturday! Very pleased. Seeds look nice and healthy also! Got gdp , purple haze ,purple kush. Paid 115 for the mix pack of 5 feminized each. Not bad. I see alot of people bashing them but no complaints here!!! Also might upgrade the tent to a 3x5 for extra room. Might end up vegging longer . Will post pictures soon

I have the same GDP growing right now from ILGM. I know what you mean mine came fast too, like 3 business days. I'm about 3 weeks away from harvest on my GDP and so far they have been doing stellar this is also my first grow. So I included some pics so you can see what to expect from your gdp.

Looking awesome!!! I’ve been waiting for someone to come do that!!! How is that smelling so far?? That’s making me want to flower it early lol.

So I was able to clone everything I am about to flower , blue dream , fire og , strawberry Banana , sfv og, Hades OG, Donatello , gg4 , blueberry muffins, honestly very excited got about 22 clones total. Let’s see how many survive!!! Everything got a plain water. Next watering will be a feeding, seen some nutrient burn from the last feeding on some plants so I will be doing two separate mixes this time and go from there, trying to dial in 20 strains at once is truly very hard , the way they eat they way they grow, every aspect of it is different for every strain. But this is how I like to learn hands on with more than what most can handle, anyways here’s some pics

Looking good, I don't envy you trying to figure out what 20 different strains want. I'm only running 3 and every strain wants things at least a little different - and some a lot different. Your first gro actually looks a lot better than my first one did oh so long ago. Enjoying the pics, keep it up!

Oh man they smell really dank and just like grape soda, no joke but I am using botanicare raw grape, it's really good stuff and the buds look like they're coated in sugar. It's the same as giving them molasses and you should use it on all purple strains you have. My whole backyard smells like sweet dank pot because I have the exhaust shooting out my back window, it's awesome lol. I did veg them for 6 weeks because I read that gdp likes a longer veg time so you may want to veg them longer to get the same results. Here are some updates, they will be in their 7th week this Tuesday. Still no purple yet but hopefully they will start purpling up soon, I'm keeping the nights around 62f which should help. I also have some outdoor master kush and girl scout cookies extreme from ILGM and I have to tell you they look really dank so far so my experience with ILGM is awesome, I dont know why people nock it. Maybe because it's not a brand name. All I care about is the quality not the brand name.

Anyway your doing an awesome job on your plants so far, good job bro. I take it your like me and researched back and forth for your first grow leaving no stone unturned.

Yeah so if everything goes well which it is so far you should get the same results! Keep us posted on your grow and I'll post some pics of my final product after they're dried and trimmed.

Thanks man i appreciate it! Yeah its a process forsure but I'm going to stay at it! Well see what the outcome turns out to be!
