Ok sorry it took me so long to get this started
Time has been extremely limited.
I put 5 bag seeds to germinate on 9-8. On 9-11, 2 popped ..I call them tribute and lil lady liberty. Anyway they have been growing under 3x26w=100w cfl 6400k bulbs. (I know I need more its all I could do to talk the wife into so far). I started the girls in peat cubes and when I saw roots I put them into 9 pots with FoxFarm happy frog soil on 9-16 .. Anyone used it?
It didnt take me long to try and kill my babies. I read all over the place on here keep those bulbs close Well let me tell you, you can get em too close ..especially right after watering when a few droplets of water are on the leaves. All the sudden my lil girls turned yellow and started to look burned on the edges .I have pics for you tell me if you agree with my diagnosis.
Now for the changes I made to try and help my ladies .First I moved the lights back a couple inches. I think they are so short because I never made em stretch for light in the beginning ..Does stretching work the opposite too? Light too far plant stretches Light too close plant stays short?
Second I added a fan CFLs give off a bit more heat than I gave em credit for. I think I also stunted their growth with heat too.
Finally I started the little darlings on a gentle feeding regiment to try to nurse them back in shape. I am using a food given to me from my local hydro store I will post a pic of the bottle for any comments but its numbers are as follows 2, 0.8, 0.02. According to her this is very gentle and has the nitrogen I need to bring the green back ..Seems to have helped. It calls for 1tbs. per 5 gallons or .25ml for 1 liter. I mixed the 1 liter batch then added an additional half liter of spring water to further dilute it.
Tribute has bounced back nicely, the jury is still out on Liberty. As of this morning it looks as if there may be a little new growth starting on her .Lady Liberty is a badass she will make it.
One last question Is early smell any indication to sex? Potency? Or is it just the plant type. Tribute is really starting to smell already ..So excited I think I will just pull her and smoke her NOW!!!
Yeah Right!!! But we are hoping for something to smoke for Christmas Is it possible?
Any help, comments, or posts are welcomed ..I cant talk to anyone else anywhere else about this so feel free to chat it up friends.
Pics coming today...Stoned and cant find my camera cord right now but I will.
