My Little Soon To be Grow Journal.

Kratose said:

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Welcome Wildfire, pull up a chair.

Ok, Pics are here. Date taken, 12/25/08, Yeah, I got a digital Camera.

The oldest plant is 4 weeks 3 days old. I will try to put her (I hope) in the first pic. Its short and getting bushy, so I have hopes that it is a female! The 2nd Oldest is 4 weeks 1 day old, And then another is about 3, and so on. I will start the 12/12 cycle on the oldest soon. The others, I am going to veg for abit longer. Probably will do the first two at 5 weeks old, and the rest I will veg for about 6 weeks.

I only have one plant (5th pic) that has shown problems, Was Nute Burnt a little, So one of the leafs got burnt bad, and it started to curl under. The new growth seems to be fine, I Gave it a pure water watering. But thats the worst looking one. The others look great.

I don't think I got a good pic of the runt, I will get him tonight or tomorrow. The runt is on its 3rd node, but is so damn small. Can't wait to see what he does!

There are no real problems, There was the one I mentioned above, witch I have took the steps to fix. Its been a day and has shown improvements. Looks like it will loose a leaf. So not really looking for any advice, just showing them. I have one pic that kinda shows the cab I built, I can take a better pic later. Yes, it does have ventalation, but you cant see it in the pics.

And I am away that I don't have a reflector on the bulb, its not on right now. Gonna put it on when I get my 150W HPS delivered. Then I will have a reflector on both.

You can really only see the HPS light in the pics. I do have CFL lighting for side lighting, It will come in handy during flowering for side lighting.

Also, 2 of them were recently topped.

Enough talk, Let the pics begin!

Hey, I am using 250W HPS. Also getting another 150W HPS because I noticed I need more lumens for that space. I also have 2CFL Shop lights for side lighting

Yeah, the ak47 does get real dark huh?

The reason why they are smaller and stretched. This is answering you and wildfire, is because they were not started with HPS. I had to buy all new equitment because from when I grew before, the police took it all. So they were started with CFL. And as you know, they stretch with CFL Lighting. I even had them basically touching the lights. And yeah, topping them does stop growth for abit, otherwise the one in the milk Jug would be on its 8th node or so. It was topped on its 6th.

Notice the others are as big as my oldest ones? Thats because they were started with HPS. So they had HID lighting from the start.

And wildfire, Yeah, I do have a fan going in there. And the light is 8inches away from the tops. Any lower and they burn. Already lost one plant because of that. Yeah, I have a reflector, but took it off so when I took a pic of inside the cab you would be able to see the plants.

Ok...today I will take a pic of a newer one, and a seedling. The newer one you will see is a runt, very small, but it has started growing quite abit the past 2 days.

Yeah, I wish they didn't stretch, but wasn't to much I could do when I was stuck with CFL Lighting, but its not a big problem. They didn't stretch too bad, so I am ok.

Thanks for stopping bye everyone

Oh that one. That one has problems from the start. Its my problem plant. It was nute burnt, and then I "Flushed" It. I hate that word. And I dunno, it never got any worse or better, the leafs curled in weird ways, (witch could be a few things, also depends if its curling down or up) and it started drying up.

What one are you confused on the leaf pattern? Wondering if your thinking of the same one I am. Yeah man, I need a some more lumens, but thats all I got until my 150W gets here. Can I borrow some of yours? haha

Alright, I gotta get drive to Springfield. I will catch ya all later. Thanks for stopping in

The 1st one in the milk jug is that a skunk#1is the one that kinda looks strange with so many sets of 3 leaves.Not the typical 1, 3.then to 5 7 or a 9.That the one you think is strange?

Yup, thats the one. That is the Afgan though. I really hope its female. Its the only afgan I got going. But I have more Afgan seeds. Next grow gonna get some Afgan seeds from Nirvana, and hopefully some Blueberry, Ya..You convinced me. But I wanna compare the Nirvana Afgan to the Afgan seeds my hippe friend who is a grower gave me. I think its different because he gave me some of the final product from his grow, and its not the afgan I use to grow. so I doubt its the same genetics. Will be Interesting to see the difference between the two
