Hey, my name is Penguin! I have a several grows under my belt, however, I haven't yielded the greatest product quite yet, so I've decided to create this journal to gain from others' experience. So please, HELP!
Anywho, let me tell you a little about my set up. I currently have 19 plants that are all about 60 days old(from the day they were cut). They're all in 3 gal. pots ATM, in Fox Farm's Happy Frog Soil, w/ no additives. I don't know the strain, the clones came from a plant I grew from bag seed. Seems predominantly Indica. I keep them outside as often as possible to save on electricity, but at night I keep them under a 600W HPS, until 2 a.m. So basically they're on an 16/8 light cycle, as I usually take them outside around 10 a.m. I haven't fed them anything at all, just RO water so far.
I've already run into quite a few problems. They all became infected with powdery mildew from their mother. I also spotted quite a few rose aphids. The mother is gone now, and I've sprayed them all with Neem and SM-90 since then. Not only that, I left them under the care of my roommate for a couple weeks, because I thought she was semi-competent, and when I came back they were flowering :\ she had'nt been putting them under the 600W at night. She then decided to cut off all the flower growth, and in doing so cut off every branch, leaving no leads
I'd appreciate any input guys! Ill try to post often, with lots of pics! I'll start with some off my phone, but I'll be sure to steal my girlfriends Canon Rebel too ha.
A lot of the leaves got burned from the Neem/SM-90^^
