First Indoor grow - Sour OG under T5

I am loving that HDI Mother A&B formula! That mother Sour OG is only a week ahead of the 6 but the branching is coming out way better than the GH or GO.

The next day

Back on track with feeding the ladies. Did things a little differently this evening. I watered each one with one quart of straight RO with a 6.4Ph then waited approx 15 minutes and gave them another quart. Then I mixed up the nutes.

The tips of quite a few of the leaves are light. Not so much burnt but kind of light, and it looks like somebody rubbed the shit out of them with a rag because in between the veins its not as dark. The plants look alright to me, but they don't seem to be growing very fast, I am wondering if I had let them dry out too much and it stunted them. Gonna give them one more week and I'm gonna flip em.


Some of the leaves that look like they had their green rubbed off.

Looks good to me meds! There's going to be one MF of a botanical explosion when you flip, I'm looking forward to that!

Thanks sworth!! I sure hope so!

Just fed momma Sour OG
Flushed with one gallon of RO, followed by one gallon of:
6.6Ph 1.2EC
2.5ml CaMg+
5ml Pro-Tekt
6ml HDI Mother A
6ml HDI Mother B
Run off 6.5Ph 2.3EC

I guess this flushing before feeding is working great for me, this is the lowest EC I have ever had on the run off. All plants received a spray down Of 3ml Azamax in 32Ozs. of RO water.

Thanks to the cooler weather, today, I leave the 450 Watt club and join the 600 Watt club!

Kind of a late update, I fed them again on Sunday 10/14. I decided to take them out another week or two before I flip. They just haven't seemed "right" yet and I am not very impressed with the fullness of the branches when compared to the mother plant which is only a week ahead of these. The only differences are an extra gallon in the pot and the nutes. At this rate I am going to veg ALL my plants using that HDI Mother formula. Now this is my first real grow but in my opinion that shit kicks ass, the differences are night and day.

So I fed the exact same amount as last time and flushed with 1/2 gallon of Ph'd RO water first

The mothers will chill in this unused bathroom until the flowering tent gets here, then they will get their old tent back.




"GSC"



Tried my hand at some super cropping

Ladies caught me by surprise and were ready for water yesterday but I didn't have time mix up my nutes, had to give them a half gallon of straight RO. I will be picking up a Hydro Logic Small Boy water filter today so that I can just keep some water on hand. I will be feeding and flipping them here in a day or so. I have also found some of the leaves that have some spots and are getting lighter tips. What do you guys think?

Looks like mag def to me. But i could b wrong but if it is catch it now bc ull nvr get rid of it, u can only keep up with it. I gitot it with my critical+ and have had it the entire grow. Good luck

That's what I was thinking as well after looking through the bible. Shit I add Mg, I guess I'll throw a little more in.

Yeah i see u use ca/mg. But i also see that ur ppm on run off is thru the roof. And uve been sayin that u thought they were growin slow. Maybe u have a lil nute lock out causing ur pom to go up on runoff and in turn not letting the plant intake the ca/mg but im a soil man. So im jus assuming. Id run sum straight ro or phed water for a day or two kinda like a flush. Or wait till a hydro guy churps in. But good luck man hope everything works out for ya. Ill b checkin in this grow i love sour og. Stay green

Thanks bro I appreciate you chiming in for sure! I'm in soil, not hydro. I'm running ocean forest right now. I was getting some outrageous runoff but what I have been doing lately is giving them about a half gallon RO before feeding. I give them 1/4 gallon, then wait about 15 min then give them another 1/4 gallon. After I let that sit for a minute I feed with a half gallon of nutes and I get quite a bit of runoff. Since I started doing that the runoff has been shit tons lower than what it was, still not perfect but it puts my runoff right around 2.5EC. Just yesterday I wasn't prepared for them to be watered again and gave them 1/2 gallon of straight RO just to hold them over until tomorrow night.

As for growing slow, I have a strong feeling that I was letting them get a little too dry between feedings. I think I was damaging root systems because now that I am on top of that they are literally growing an inch a day.

I hear you, I love Sour OG myself. I can't wait to flip them and I assure you this is only the beginning, I already have big plans to take this to the next level. I appreciate the suggestions and I am def going to take them into consideration. I just bought a sediment filter so now I will not be paying for water. My plans are to flush very well before feeding, I am going to double my CaMg and see where this gets me.

HPS bulb went in and the first 12/12 cycle starts in an hour and a half. Hopefully they don't get too tall for the tent. I'm thinking it is gonna be hard identifying exactly when they start to flower being as they have had pre-flowers this whole time!

Wow, those are going to be so nice man. What wattage hps are you putting in?

Meds, you're going to have to "slash 'n' burn" your way into that tent in two months time!
Nice one!

Thanks guys! Been running 600 watts, just changed out the MH bulb for an HPS.
