Doob's complete grow journal, got twins?

Hey Mental I went ahead and measured all 4, the two Black doms in the square pots are about 10.5 inches from top soil, the Black dom under the screen is 16 inches after bend/training and the Blueberry Madness which was the hardest to measure is 22.5 inches from top soil and after bend/training.
 
Nice i cant wait till my plants get at least that tall lol mine are only 2 - 3 weeks old >.<. When the next update on the plant's?

Either every Thursday or every other Thursday, but definitely on a Thursday lol.

Edit: Yeah your plants are young now but it'll be worth it, happy growing.
 
So Doobs, I read up on fim. Interesting stuff. I'm gonna try it on one of my girls. I'm thinkin I might let my clones from 3d get about a foot tall or a bit more and move all six to flower. Kinda lollipopping them I believe its called but I'm gonna let them veg a bit. Have you tried this before? How many plants do you flower under your 250w hps when you scrog?

Definitely keep me updated on how the Fim goes, I think you'll be pleased.

Lollipopping is best for running a SoG type of grow. They're clones so you're doing it properly.

This SCRoG is small due to limited space, I should be moving into a bigger space in a couple of weeks or so, and my SCRoG will probably get a little bigger too. Right now I have 1 Black Domina and 1 Blueberry Madness under the screen. The Blueberry Madness is more Sativa dominant so it's taking up most of the room on the screen.

Also when I get a bigger grow space the 2 Black Dominas in the smaller pots will be transplanted.

Doobs I'm sorry. I posted the same question in two threads and you've already answered me. Thanks. I'll try not to do that anymore.

I'm moving to another location soon, as will my grow, so when I get to the new place I'll start Bloom because Veg plants are easier to move than Flowering plants lol.

Sounds like you missed the FIM and just Topped that 1 plant, it happens. Thanks for the compliments dude, you should definitely try to get some pics posted.
 
I got a question can you flower using the same light, and also how do you get them switched out of veg to flower? I haven't really understood that.

You can get bloom spectrum bulbs for a T5 but I use a 250 HPS personally. You can either wait for the plant to mature on it's own, or you can induce/force it to sex. When you let it mature naturally it will show it's sex in veg, after it matures you then put in under a 12/12 lighting schedule. When you induce flowering you don't wait for the sex in veg and just switch the lighting schedule over, this will trigger/force the plant into flowering.
 
uh oh does this mean im forcing my plant into flowering at first when they were little they could barely get the light they needed like they would get maybe 10 1 day and 7 the next but now i got a timer for my outlet so now i have it going 8pm on and 8am off. I would have it on for 18 on and 6 off but my girl doesnt want the setup running while we arent home she dont want the house burning down lol. So does that mean im forcing mine to flower i mean they are only 3 weeks old, and sorry about the asking questions for me on your thread :(.

Nah dude it's cherry, yeah the light timing is going to switch them into flowering sooner for sure. However with that being stated, I have seen some pretty impressive 12/12 from seed to harvest grows on this forum as well as others, so it's not really a bad thing. Every grower does things differently, and I choose not to force. Who knows the 12/12 thing might work out for you better than you expected.

Hope this helps.

If I have the time tomorrow I will update, if not I'll try to update it asap. I'll check your grow out dude, and I'm glad that helped you out some.

Checked out your journal.

A couple of suggestions I have for you is to get those temps at max 78 degrees and low 68 degrees. Also get yourself some mylar or panda/poly film instead of that foil. If you're on a budget, the cheapest way to do it, is to go to Walmart and get mylar gift wrap or mylar balloons, and whichever side doesn't have a lot of design on it use. That will probably help with your temps also. If the humidity drops with the temp, get yourself a cheap-o cool mist humidifier at like Walmart or Walgreens.

MG soil you're looking at a 2.5 to 3 week flush, trust me on this one lol.

Other than that the plants look happy and pretty healthy. Definitely keep me updated on your progress.

Hope this helps.
 
Ight man *knows your not a guy well atleast i think i red somewhere in this journal that you said you was a girl i just say man alot ^^* What you mean 2.5 or 3 week flush.

Lol thanks for noticing dude, but that's cool if you say man a lot.

When you flush your plant at the end of it's life. I like to start flushing 2 weeks before harvest, but with miracle grow soil I did that 2 week flush and it wasn't enough. That's why I said 2 and a half to 3 weeks, because it'll get all the nasties out. I'm using Fox Farm's Ocean Forest soil this grow, last grow the spouse got the Miracle grow, so this flush for this grow shouldn't need the extra week or so.

Flushing is when you use Ph'd water with no other nutrients or additives, maybe molasses but that's it. It's flushes out the residual nutrients, so your final product isn't harsh and bad tasting. Drying/Curing properly helps with bad taste and harshness too.
 
Ok yea i wasn't thinking you was talking about 2.5 or 3 weeks before harvest. So i basically do what im doing now just not water when it needs and then fed the next time it needs water and water the next time it needs water instead i just give it water when it needs water and no nutes.
