First Grow 1000w

First off I am a NEW YORK GROWER!! Please Message me if you're a NY grower looking to network :eyesmoke:

Here's my first grow:joint:. the Black pots are 1 gal. and the 3 tan are 2 1/2 gal. The 3 to the left and 4 at the bottom are part of my first attempt to grow outdoors. I couldnt keep them outside so i tried to transplant them but only had a couple four foot fluorescents so they slowly started to die. The 7 are of 40 that were beautifully growing outside. the 7 are 7 weeks in this picture. the 3 large pot and 9 pots with seedlings are 1 week here.(the two bottom rows of 4 and 1 in 3rd row) The remaining 11 plants are 3 weeks in this picture. All from bag seed.bongsmilie 30 plants under one 1000w Hortilux Metal Halide bulb in Hydrofarm air cooled reflector. 4 1/2 ft X 5 1/2 ft Area. Using 2 home depot 6inch inline fans for intake and exhaust. Plants are on a 20/4 light cycle for VEG. Light is 24 inches from smallest plant. Area still under construction. Will be adding Mylar all around, along with side wall shelves where i will be growing Exotic Plants and Carnivorous plants. And eventually i will have little frogs, butterflies, ladybugs, beetles, prey mantis, and one snake. i will also be adding a stronger inline fan as an exhaust when i install the 400 CFM can filter, and the home depot fans will both be intake. i'll add cfl light for the base of the plants. This room will be used to veg for 2 weeks then flower. i have another room for seedlings to veg(still under construction) I have Clone/Seeding Shelf above my Nutrient Shelf. I have an Irrigation system to water once a day.(only feeding not soaking the entire pot) I'll also be building a screened gutter to collect rain water from outside str8 into a 40 gallon container. I have 4 of the 11 3 week old plants LST growing. 2 of the 11 i have cut off the second set of Fan leaves to grow a couple strong heads from the base. and the remaining 5 are just growing naturally being rotated. :mrgreen:The oldest 7 plants have been cut for clones and will be start they're flower cycle( i will move them into a dark space for 12 then back for 12) the remaining 23 plants will be put to flower once the youngest plants about 4 weeks 4 1/2 weeks. I will be cloning all 23 as well. Feeding with a 2 part grow and bloom system. SuperThrive. Using Neem oil, and Bat Guano. Foliar feeding thru mist bottles once a day. One fan on Medium. using 10 Gallons at a time in the resevoir and with one 12 inch airstone.Scotts Soil and Perlite. new updates Next Week!

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS, Suggestions, ANYTHING. THIS IS MY FIRST GROW and the grow room will be updated frequently until my Habitat is living with my ladies.

STAY TUNED!!!!!!

here's an update. this would be week 2 in my journal. Now my older flowering plants are down to 5. 2 are males so had to say good bye. My 5 ladies are now in their 3 day of flowering, the smaller 12 are now 2 weeks, and the larger 11 are 4 weeks. my clones still look droopy but have nice color, bottom of stems are getting fat. newly planted seeds are sprouting nicely. and here are a few pics of my LST plants! COMMENTS PLEASE... im all by myself!

hey man balls out first time congrats. Your plants look a LITTLE over watered, wait until the ends of the leaves perk up and they will grow a little faster. But overall great start and good progress.
 
thanx i'll water less and see how that works... i'll update again very soon for week 3! should see nice forming bud :) cant wait
 
Hey guys. So i've decided to start the flowering cycle one week earlier.

Of my 5 ladies im down to 4 ladies. One of them fooled me and was hiding his BALLS! Has anyone kept male plants and flower them? i put them inside as house plants and they have balls everywhere. anyway my 4 ladies are in their 10th day of flowering.( I consider my first day of flowering when the white hairs start to show)

i took clones from the 11 plants that are 4 weeks old. and i Fimmed the 12 younger plants in hopes to create 3 main colas on each of those. After the 2nd day of flowering the whole room. 2 of the 4 week old plants show their sex. One being an LST plant, ITS A GIRL. The other was a normal growing plant but was a MALE. so now down to 10 of the 4 week old plants.

ALL CLONES HAVE ROOTED
im excited to have 100% success on my clones from my mature plants. i have 2 paris of clone for 2, and 1 for the other 2. 6 clones. all 40 of my seedlings have rooted well and i transplanted them into cups. they'll stay in these til they out grow them then i'll transplant into the 1 1/2 gallon pots.

next thing i have to do is get a HPS bulb for flowering. I ordered Mylar and a 6" vortex Fan. In my next update the Bloom Room should be done fully lined with mylar, and my Veg room should be done.

PLEASE COMMENT!!!!!!!!!

My Biggest plant of the 11 has 3 sets of 11 point leaves is growing beautifully. they are now on their 5th day of flowering and 2 are females. today i find out that the big one with the 11pointers is a GIRL she has her lil white hairs.

Awesome looking grow, Im doing something very similar with 1000w HPS, take a look at my grow in sig. I am 3 weeks into flower. Im using 48" flourescents for cloning and lil veg as well. I also have a 400w MH for a veg room.
What nutrient line are you running?
Looks like some of those plants in there could use a transplant?
I have a python in my grow room.
What soil are you using?
Im scribed. Take a look at my grow, you may get some good ideas. Ill be around......
 
P.S: your journal is very clean and organized
im using scotts soil and a local hydroponic store's line of nutrients that they claim to have better results then foxfarms and a few others. its two parts with an organic stimulator, and superthrive. i was thinking of transplanting. I might do it now that you've mentioned it because i did see a few roots coming out of the drain holes on some of the large plants. one of my smallest ones also has them coming out which i found strange. why are the roots so far down and the plants is so small? thanks for tuning in, i'll be checking yours out.

I am unsure of why the roots are so large on the smallest. Looks like everything is going well. Cant wait for those budshots

Are you using the neem on your foliage or soil. I wouldn't reccomend anything foliar spray etc while flowering due to mold issues in the buds. I love the way neem makes those leaves shine

looking good. Stop foliar feeding daily, your plants dont need it. Once a week is fine, and maybe spray with just ph'd water the following day to wash off any nutes remainign on the leaves. Looking good though, check out my journal I've got 2x1000W HPS and a 400MH for veggin and 2 4 foot flouros for my clones
 
Here's the update of the Grow. I've redone my floor, and switched to 1000w HPS, in the Bloom Room. Also Transplanted into 5gal grow bags. The Veg Room is almost done. Haven't Installed my vortex fan and can filter yet, prob next week.

Last time i had all 29 plants in the Bloom Room. I put the smallest 3 back to veg. and out of 26... 14!! were males. so im down to 12 girls in the Bloom room in rows of 3 by 4.

In the First Row on the left i have 3 of the 4 mature ladies on their 5th week flowering.

In the Second Row i have the 4th mature lady in front, the next girl is at 3 weeks, and the last one, also the tallest(over 3 feet) is at 2 weeks

In the Third Row the first girl is at 2 weeks, the next is at 3 weeks(1 of 4 LST) and the last girl is at 2 weeks(2 of 4 LST)

In Fourth Row i have 3 girls all at 2 weeks

SO I HAVE:

4 girls at 5 weeks
2 girls at 3 weeks
6 girls at 2 weeks



WHAT DO YOU THINK I WILL YIELD????!!! ANY GUESSES!!!!

Well, first off, everything looks awesome...... bummer about the males....... I hate dealing with that shit.... soon you won't have to(unless you choose to), The flowering room looks real good. I would say I am terrible at yield guesses. I will throw out 11 ounces. I am on my first grow with a 1k, and shooting for 8 ounces off 9 decent sized plants in 3 gallon pots. I also have 16 more in 1 gallon pots that I am hoping for 8 ounces off. All under the 1k... It is a perpetual system, so I will have to keep track. I will be here, hope theres more updates soon......
 
Here are some bud shots of my ladies progressing from the end of week 7 to the beginning of week 8. close to harvest!
