Quick question - not trying to hijack your thread, gold lion.
@whitebb2727, you suggested running veg nutes the whole grow. What about flower nutes (tiger bloom) & what ppm?
I don't like them. Bloom nutes have higher P and K. Only certain strains need higher amounts of P and K.

You will better off running something like Dynagro foliage pro. 9-3-6.

sup so finally I've gone n dunnit, just threw the seeds in the soil (germinating in moistened soil method, how nature intended lol) and am gonna sit lights on 24/0 for now.

details on the grow are -

mephisto Tyrone special auto/fem
324w quantum bad boy 6 bulb high output t5
2 gal smart pots half kind soil (bottom) half roots organic (top)
distilled water, no nutes unless they need them in flower or something
~2x4 grow space (2 plants would be a better fit but germinating all 3 seeds in case one fails or something)

also - my first reallll grow attempt aside from an outdoor bag seed that actually yielded enough for a blunt ;D will be kind of my practice or secondary/side grow once I get my gorilla tent n amare 450 (next week I think they'll be here)

follow along and help answer and ask questions - gimme a heads up if something ever seems off, not gonna be offended.

nothing to really talk about yet as nothing's really happening yet but here's a pic of setup:

edit: I know 66 degrees is a little low for germinating - had just flipped lights on and it'll warm to low-mid 70s for sure.
sounds like the same setup i've been running for 3 years.you should get good results with that

I was hoping for a longer veg, too. How many days before you saw pistols? She looks nice.
sorry I missed this. not really sure - maybe like 2.5 weeks?


anyone diagnose what's goin on with this guy? they all have some faded/burnt lower leaves.

humidity started to get low so I brought in the big guns. ultrasonic cool mist elephant, fucking love it xD

meh, not sure of that guide, where'd you pick it up?
This chart has served me well, though I'd call myself anything but a nutrient symptoms specialist ;)

Hope someone else can shed more light on those yellowings of yours! :bigjoint:

well! been a while and not sure what the issue is/was, there were bugs of some sort but killed them off- just hit them with mammoth p for the first time today, been feeding roots organic grow n bloom and some calmag for the last week or two now and they have seemed to appreciate it, leaves are still yellowing but the buds are fattening and they seem happy enough. they should be done sooner than I thought, gonna give them a couple weeks n inspect some trichomes :) I'd guess the yield will be around an ounce and a half between the three plants, not great by any means, but considering its a first grow and I didn't have to scrap it im pretty happy :3 image.jpg

Amber trichs on day 55? ok then...

one of the plants was ready for harvest (thank you 420scope) so I took 'er down and trimmed a bit. buds are drying and hope to have the other plants harvested soon so I can be done with that closet!!

thanks for the help guys, this is my first real grow and thanks to this community (and the afn community) I've got some nice tasty buds - even if they're a little small im totally cool with having a first attempt go this well.

I'll report on the smoke when she's ready, can already tell it'll be knockout. the lighting sucks in the living room so it's hard to see how frosty those buds actually are, they look amazing!

Heyhey congrats on chop#1! Those buds are looking proper sweet :D
May have been just a tad early, despite the amber trichs (depending on how they actually looked) - but yeah I get the pressure you're feeling to finish them after your bugs experience, and you've still got the others and can then compare :cool:
