Third time's a charm... let's go.

7/3 Update

• K1, K2 are on a steady/slow growing rate
• B1 is a couple of nodes ahead of everyone
• B2 & B3 where put directly into flower after seeing good recovery on their part. After knowing that Phoenix was a Male the flowering area is free, instead of throwing away B2 & B3 (Read Post #35) I decided to give them a 2nd chance switching them to 12/12 and they look better today!!
• Day 12 for K3

Pictures, of course...

• 1-3 = B1 (top, lst & light)
• 4 = K1
• 5 = K2
• 6 = K3 (Notice she isn't the same strain as K1 & K2) Day 12 for her.
• 7 = B2 (Recovery @ 12/12)
• 8 = B3 (Recovery @ 12/12)
• 9 = LST K1 (Notice the stretch from her first 2 days of breaking the soil)
• 10 = Setup

Feel free to comment or give any feedback. Thanks for everyone's post/feedback/ideas/critics so far! We have a little of the two worlds with B2 & B3 on the flowering room & the rest of the seedlings @ veg. (if B2 & B3 keep recovering)

Temp:

• Veg: 77*
• Flow: 75*

Pictures

• K1
• K2
• K3 (Day 15)
• B1
• B2 (Day 5 @ 12/12, 3 weeks old in total)
• B3 (Day 5 @ 12/12, 3 weeks old in total)

Feel free to comment!

31 Days

Hum: ~45%
Temp:

• Veg: 86*
• Flow: 75*

No pictures on this update...
Red = Flowering Area Inhabitants
Blue = Vegging Area Inhabitants

• K1 moved to flowering area Today
• K2 still on 18/6
  
• K3 (Day 25) still on 18/6
• B1 moved to flowering area Today
• B2, My first lady!!! [13 Days since 12/12] [31 Days from seed]
• B3 (Male)

This leaves me with 5 plants in total. I currently have K2 & K3 vegging, K1, B1 & B2 flowering. The plants are putting some growth every passing minute. Update w/pics on a couple of days.

So far so good, this is the farthest I've made it. Waiting on day 31 of 12/12 for B3 (Currently 12 days) to add some Miracle Grow Nuts to her. (only for a boost, I don't have any bloom nuts).
Feedback?

Sup RIU! still going strong on my grow.

Looks like third time is really a charm. Finally got into late stages of flowering or just flowering lol. This run I can finally say I'm starting to get a hang of things when it comes to grow. Also, got my first clones up and running too (No Root Hormones used). This clones will be used for the next grow to save the germination/seedling time. I would really like to thank everyone that commented/help along the way. I have a trip in a couple of weeks and the plants will be harvest before that, so this plants will not reach their full potential this time (yeah, after this long it really sucks). As a result, final yield/quality is greatly affected. I will be posting another update before harvest.


Next grow clones (all from K3)


B1 (Not expecting to much out of her)


K2 |~17''| Planning on re-veg her for next grow.


K3 |~24"| Still a long way to go, probably won't see the best of her this time. This is the genetics for the next grow.



Plants have only two more weeks before harvest...


PS: No matter what I do, the pictures always flip when attached here.

feel free to comment, give tips or anything... any feedback is appreciated.

looks good man, u should scrog with ur clones for next grow, optimize ur yield with the cfls, which i use my love and LOVE anyways i wanna see pics of harvest man@

Yea you want to SCROG style them you dont have to use a screen to get those results but it helps to support the plant when the buds start to get heavy. You want to keep them short and bushy for florescent grows. It too me 2 grows to figure that out. More width less height.

thanks for the possitive comment! This was my first grow in this cabinet, I'm really looking forward to my next grow with the clones. I'm definitely using the scrog technique for the clones. K2 will be harvest this Friday, If anyone has any inside/tips for harvest please post them up.

thanks for the feedback!! I will be using the scrog for the clones for sure! I would love to see how good this cabinet can do when the plants have been trained properly. The ladies on this current grow really got me off guard with their stretch and I wasn't able to recompensate with some more CFL's around them. I have been thinking of the scrog for a while, but both of you gave me the last push I needed! lol

I'm not really expecting a high yield on this run. Only K2 seems to be almost ready, K3 is so far behind as B1. Unfortunately after all this effort I will have to harvest them earlier than expected. So yeah... it sucks...

The ladies are ready to be watered this last week, I was thinking of flushing them twice before this weekends harvest. What you guys think?

Well, I think this time Im going to try and go all the way, no flush. Ive been reading alot about it and starving your plant of nutes during the most important time doesnt seem like a good idea. Then some people will argue that theres a taste if you dont. Im not sure myself. But other will say it doesnt leave a taste.

I found the same info in here.... some threads say it's essential for a good burning/ no harsh smoke. Others just say it's the same, as long as you cure them well. I guess I'm going to feed them tonight, and just use plain distilled water on the next watering. Hope this give them a extra boost on this last couple of days.

very nice man! Will b lookin for total outcome Friday..

thanks dude!

I hope this harvest gives me some good smoke to recompensate for the low yield. Next run I will be working on getting a better yield of this clones.

u went 12/12 from seed also?
and do u know wut ur final Wattage was, not eq. But ACTUAL watts

Im running 93w 6500k & 86w 2700k
2 200w daylights, 1 60w daylight
1 200w softwhite, 2 100w softwhite

you got some serious Wattage in there!

They were 18/6 for a couple of weeks.

I'm running ~130 Watts @ Veg | ~150-170 Watts @ Flowering Area

I will be adding a 85W & 65W 6,700K into my flower area for my next run (I have them laying around). This will boost my Flowering Area into the ~300 Watt range of mixed spectrum. It's been too hot lately to run all the lights I have for the grow.

Some random pictures

1 - Cabinet

• Up: Left to right = B3, 2 week old clones, 3 Week old clone
• Below: L to R = K2 & K3

2 - K2
3 - 2W old clones (next grow genetics)

The 3 little clones are ready to be put closer to the lights and start training them. I'm waiting for this Friday to harvest B3, K2 & K3. I have to harvest them earlier than expected because I'm leaving for a month.

Fuck man i love ur cab, im going Friday and looking for standing plastic cab/closet at walmart, i have over 20 beans now and only 1 is feminised
