hey all, im a first time grower in the uk. i have just two uk cheese plants in a 4x3' grow tent under 1 600w hps lamp growing in soil. i got the cuttings from a friend, 2-3 weeks after they were settled. i vegd them for a further 2 weeks, encountered deficiency problems and then overcompensating i introduced a nute lockout due to realy bad drainage and just soggy crappy soil mix. straight newb right? well i had to learn thigns quickly i realised that i had justinvested in plants, equipment and actually knew nothing about what i was doing, this is kinda how i operate with the rest of my life also. im a quick learner. anyway i managed to solve all this new soil mix 'terra professional +' with perlite, lots of drainageholes, bigger pots... no nutes just fresh water for 5-7 days both plants perked up and once id got rid of all the bad leaves i.e leaves with burn marks, brown spots, yellowing leaves, and leaves curling up under heat burn etc (lights too low - idiot) theres no signs of any issues. i mean really perked up. they look great now.
i put them into flowering 1 week ago and they have definetly bloomed, lots of new bud sites showing themselves to the lights, i supercorpped a few of the upper branches to allow for more light in other areas and to create an even canopy, i was nervous doing this as its my first time and was warned off to no end by experienced growers saying, your a newbie dont mess around with anything just see what happens this tiem around. arrogance triumphed though and i did use some supercropping techniques. these techniques worked great imo, im now in my 2nd week of flowerign liek i said and it all looks so promising, im really excited. i can see a good few white hairs around the nodes on branches, (forgive my ignornace, im still getting to grips woth some of the jargon you guys use.)
so there both around 3ft now and growing out quite wide, i can post some pictures if anyone is interested...
i just thought id post on here since iv read alot and got so much out of this site and its users so far. i think my plant would have died a death during that week of leaf problems if it wasnt for these forums...
my problem is now that, (you can see the plant is about 2 weeks ahead of my knowledge progress on this subject so i really want some advice on what to expect int the last month of flowering... i have a feed plan arranged and the plant has responded well so far, i was advised to start using 'biobizz topmax' as an additive after the 2nd week of flowerign alongside my 'terra flores' feed so i will do dose up with that come wednesday. since flowering she has had 2 feeds of the 'flores' over a 8 day period.. this sound ok?
whats all this molasses hype about?
what can i expect during the final stages, do i need to change anything in the tent, humidity, temperatre. i heard aobut shutting the lights off for a 24 hour period a week before harvest?
how much can i expect to produce of these 2 plants?
any advice for a sea of green method next time in the tent? also i cant quite get my head around the whole keeping a mother plant for cuttings, which would be ideal, how would the lighting work for the seedling and flowering plants... im currently considering building a small box for propagation purposes and getting some new seeds online. iv missed out on taking cuttings from these plants havent i? too late? i wouldnt of been ready anyway i need to setup a nursery? advice with all this would be great.
another discussion point ;i decided to plant some vegetable and herb seeds and now have courgettes,3 different tomatoe strains and herbs growing around the plants still onyl a couple weeks old so not causing any space problems as yet... i have a coriander plant coming into life as i heard that cilantro keeps spider mites on edge... is growing plants like this around my girls gonna cause any issues? i hope not as growing my own veg, fruit, and herbs has always kept me mildly entertained.
again i can add pics, if anyones interested. thanx in advance guys
