bit of an update.

dave, the seeds have sprouted. the blueberry is getting on its way and looking healthy. the SSH was near the top of the soil and had germed, the tap root looked abit brown/black. i put abit more soil over it so the roots wernt exposed to the strong 600w hps, went back a couple hours later its sprouted. it is on its way as well now, its just got its shell on though so within a day or so i hope that comes off.

the blue cheese and the AK47s have progressed the most. all have their bottom set of leaves and one AK is strarting its 3rd set. they were a little stretched because i didnt know how far to keep the light away since its strong so i thought id give them a save distance. the light seems to be at the right height now as i cant see much more stretching.

1st pic is the Blueberry,
2nd is the SSH
3rd is the Blue Cheese
the rest is the AK47.

Glad to hear it, I don't need to worry about the germ rates just yet!

All looking good so far - bit too early to say which looks strongest though!

Ey dude lookin good ! I got a batch of blue cheese some weeks ago, strong high, lasts a while. I loved it. The batch I got right after that is blueberry, i'm smoking some right now, and it doesn't taste sweet but the high is great !

I see you're going 12/12 from the start. I vegged an ak47 for a week from seed , and it;s looking pretty good. I wouldn't worry about the stretching with an hps, keep it about 25 inches above with a fan so you don't damage them little ones.

hey,

im not too sure about the electric bill. i just pay it. i get charged £31 a month. as far as i know, im in credit with the elec supplier.

i will check when i get my quarterly bill.

i thought i had updates for this grow but as im still trying to manage my 1st grow, i forgot to take pics off the new babies. i will update this grow tonight. my other plants are coming down on monday and friday. my light cycle will be going to 18/6 from monday when i chop my 1st plant down.

ill be back later tonight.

the first 3 pics are of the AK47. the 4th is blue cheese and 5th is super silver haze. i forgot to take a pic of the blueberry! cant be bothered to go again. ill try and get a picture 2morro.

all is fine and they are turning out quite well. seem to water every 2 or 3 days. the temp is 80F. ive put a 1500w elec heater in there as well with a built in thermostat. so if i set the temp on the heater, it will heat up when the room temp goes below the one on the heater and turn its self off when the room temp is fine. i find it quite usefull :)

edit: ahh, u can see the blueberry in the background on the 4th pic :)

bit of an update, not got much time.

all have now started going well except the ak47. i THINK they have heat stress. i thought it was under watering, then i thought over watering then i realised the fan isnt moving any heat away from them so ive now moved the fan and hopefully they will get better when i come home. the rest of the plants are fine, blue cheese is going well. i will update later this evening.

i have added 6 Ata Tundra seeds. they germinated in 1 day with paper towel method. they are all under the light now.

also light cycle has changed to 18/6 this morning. lights on 7pm, lights off 1pm.

added 6 more Ata tundra seeds. the lights are now on 18/6 and im going to veg for a week or 2.

i was thinking of putting 10 more G13 seedlings in here but im not sure ill have room. of course all 3 of my AKs could be males and all of my ata tundras could be males.... cant quite decided whether to just put them in anyway.

so the plant problems was heat stress. thats not been sorted and as u can see from the pic they have recovered quite abit.

if you check the third page of my journal you'll see my plants were wrinkled like yours but they catch up soon enough, I think it's the HPS causing that but i may be wrong. at least not too much of a big deal. If you lucky those AK will show sex after 2-3 weeks veg.

hey,

yeah i was trying to figure it out before. the leafs are fucked up. i thought i was under watering, then over watering, then heat stress and finally moved my light up abit.

nothing has seemed to help so i guess ill have to let them ride it out. all the others are fine.


yeah im prolly gonna veg for 1 week or 2 then go 12/12.


i have also placed an order with attitude. 10 free G13 power skunk seeds so i may as well put them in and see how they go.... i could still get males yet from a couple of the strains.

wow, so many more/different viewers on this grow than my 1st. lol.

yeah make sure to stick around. im trying to get big yields from these babies. i should get a decent amount since i hadnt accounted for the 6 Ata Tundra seeds and the 10 x G13 Power Skunk
