hey, sub here, and my setup is this:

a 1.5ft D x 2.5ft H x 3.0 W cab, (estimate)
70w hps + 6 x 20w mixed spectrum cfls ( possibly another hps for flowering)


i germd 5 x Nirvana PPP fem 10 days ago, planted them 8 days ago, been feeding them a tiny amount of 7-7-7 nutes in Ro water, all looking good so far. :bigjoint:

8 days:











they're all doing pretty well, one is a bit behind, but it had taken an extra day to germinate so yah..

peace out, i'll keep you all updated.:peace:

oh by the way, they are on 24/0, i might switch them to 18/6 in afew days, not sure yet.

temps are a bit high at the moment, high 80's max - will be fixing that soon.

anyone like to estimate my possible yield?

70w hps + 80watts of cfl.
5 x ppp, 3.5 sq foot of scrog.
veg until 1/3 the screen is full.

+rep for educated guesses

why feed them nutes at the beginning sublimed ?

does this help ? I usually dont feed mine till day 21 or so...

oh, only because i couldn't get my hands on any fox farm or ingredients for my own mix.

the 'John Innes' stuff i'm using does have some nutes added, but it's pretty weak, so overall, it probably have an average amount of nutes.

so overall, it probably have an average amount of nutes.
like overall with the extra nutes in fwatering, the plants probably have a decent amount of nutes now. oh and also, my ph is a bit higher than ideal, so the nutes bring it down slightly.

the plants have reacted super-well to it so far, i'll post up pics in a couple days so the growth is more noticeable..:peace:

update:

day 17;

temps were in the low 90's so i bought another 12v fan,
i now have one circulation fan, an outtake fan coupled with a passive intake and this keeps my temps in the high 70's. :eyesmoke:

on with the pictures, better quality..











cd for size comparison.







crazy fim top thing, i got a bit excited with the blade, all good though.:weed:



different view with the new growth circled.



stem is filling out, and more and more nodes..

there are no roots coming out of the bottom of the pots as of yet, but they are looking close to transplanting.

right, update..

started /continued feeding:
  • 7-7-6 (but have lowered to 1/4 strength)
  • 10-20-30 (3/4 strength)
  • generous amount of molasses

as a result of me now having limited time (don't ask), i put them on 12/12, i had literally no other option. So, 3 weeks old; and now into flower. 3 days in and they absolutely stink, it's craaazy, i am loving it. Definitely the strongest smelling strain i've grown.

pics:


~compare that picture⇧ with this one⇩, 5 days later.. one has seriously exploded size-wise. who loves molasses?:bigjoint:






feel free to ask me anything :eyesmoke:
and yes, shitty pics. deal with it.
