Welcome all. I typically have about three grows going at a given time, and it is increasingly becoming a pain in the rear to keep three seperate journals going all the time. So for convience's sake, for both myself, and the people following my journals, I will be posting everything in this journal alone, beginning this evening.

Anyone that hasn't been following my previous grows, can view previous progress here:

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/285561-lemon-skunk-growin.html

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/265326-ghs-white-grow.html

https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/241541-round-three-ghs-trainwreck.html

A brief rundown for any newcomers...

Currently, I'm growing:

5 feminized GHS TrainWreck
1 feminized DNA Moby Dick
These ladies are seven weeks into flower.

5 feminized GHS White Rhino
4 feminized GHS White Widow
1 feminized DNA Sour Cream
1 feminized DNA LA Woman
These girls are just a week into flower.

5 feminized GHS Lemon Skunk
1 feminized DNA Lemon Skunk
These little ones are just babies, only a week old!

All have the same growing conditions, save for lights.
Scott's Premium Potting Soil
Jack's Classic nutes
Three gallon buckets

Veg under 648w of 6500K CFL's, and flower under dual 400w HPS. I'll be upgrading to 600w in the Spring.

OK! Now for the update.
I bought a DuPont water filter for my faucet this week. In the past I used my water straight - but it's too hard, and too many minerals eventually caused nutrient lockout. Switched to purified water - but it's getting too costly. So I'm going to try this.

The Lemon Skunk babies are doing well, just moved to their three gallon homes on Christmas. For comparison, the seedling on the left is the DNA LS, and the right is the GHS LS. No problems to speak of.

The White grow is doing sooooo much better, since they were replanted, and put into flower last week. They are stretching a bit more than I'd like, but with space rather crowded under the light right now, I can't really move it closer. All in all, they look good.

The TrainWreck is being a pain in my ass. One bud with a large, clubfoot like protrusion at the top, has fallen over three times this week, and now has three ties on it - had to go right across the bud, which I don't like. One other fell, as well. Aside from that, they are getting pretty big. Finally seeing orange hairs on them (though not many yet). The inside of the buds, and the small lower buds, are really getting coated now. Tried to take a good closeup but it's tough to see as well, under the HPS lights.

No major problems this week.

That trainwreck tied up looks awesome. I hear yea about not wanting to tie across the bud. Sometimes I use that material twisty ties. You can slid it through tiny places and in some places get in between the stem and the bud.

Glad to have you guys here with me! Wonder, I can't really see any spaces to stick a twisty tie - the top say - eight inches or so for sure on every bud, more on some, is solid - no spaces that I can tell.

Hi Doe...I have a couple questions...how much of a issue is well water and how long did the LS take to sprout?
I'm waiting on 4 DNA LS I went straight into a jiffy pellet and in the dome...anyway it was my pleasure coming across your grow treasures!
Keep up the good work!

Hi and welcome! My "grow treasures" - cute, I like it. The well water - I think it's kind of a case by case basis, honestly. I've read some folks that have problems with it, and some that do fine. How hard is your water? PH wise, my well water is perfect - but there is so much mineral deposit in it, that by the end of veg/ beginning of flower, I began to have issues. My first two grows lost 90% or more of their fan leaves, within the first month of flowering - and I believe it was the water, that caused it. In turn, my yield was also greatly reduced. The buds pretty much stopped getting bigger, with the loss of leaves. Total dry weight for those two grows together? A mere 50 grams, off of three plants. So the well water can, indeed, be a huge problem.

Sorry, I almost forgot your LS question. I soaked mine for 24 hours, set them in paper napkins to germ, and then into little jiffy cups. From soak to sprout, took three days.

Thanks... some say I have a way with words. But I should be thanking you for sharing.
The reason I asked was because my first grow was some bagseed wr and it was a really healthy plant that I thought for sure was showing female charatcteristics and like one week into flower boom balls....oh I was so upset .
You would have thought I lost a family member.
I was waking up in a better mood because I couldn't wait to see progress.
It was a real letdownsuper disapoiunted...soooo I ordered some feminized.
I can't find a water ph tester anywhere I'm in the midwest then put country on that!lol! But my soil was testing around 7 with that plant .
Can't wait to have these beans sprout outta these jiffy pellets ....

So these are your first real strains huh? Exciting stuff, good luck! I've got an LA Woman going too, and GHS WW - but then you probably saw that, lol. The TW is my first real strain. First two grows, I did bagseed - first grow I got one female out of three, and had to kill off the two beautiful males in the pic. I cried. :spew:
Second grow, out of 20, I got 15 males, 3 serious hermies, and the remaining two were hermie, but female enough to grow out. Made up my mind to buy only feminized seeds right then and there.

I agree, water is critical. My first several grows used distilled or RO water, but I didn't check the ph at all. I finally got a meter and saw that it was well over 8. I had similar issues to what you describe. Since I've started paying attention to the ph, everything's green as can be and the leaves are big and plentiful.
