Island green first grow

Islandgreen · Sep 28, 2015

Okay I got tired of having bugs in my tent so I cleaned everything took out everythin and wiped everything. I no longer have my bag of soil my nuts and tools in my tent all gone. I raised my lights up a litter bit cuz the plants are growing I have cal-mag problem so I gave it some nuts I also forgot to put the light timer on so it got way to hot checked my ph seems good all and all. I fix everything that I can hope now they start to grow a little better... So much work just to get meds lol... Happy grow guys.

I got the seeds from a friend so I don't know what it is sorry. Its my first grow so everything was almost for free the tent, the seeds the hydro, and the pots. The only thing I really payed for is the led light which I'm waiting for , the box of nuts, and soil. This grow is really out of luck everything just seem to fall together. I do want a vent and carbon filter for flowering but that's later on. I'm running ac and the light only turn on at night to keep the heat down. Got any free seeds that you don't need and you know the strain it is or clones that you don't need. We can traid I grow you get free meds when done.

Nice one. Nah man all the seeds i have i hoarded over the years. My beans are special to me lol. I usually just take clones because im sick of busting out my small seedling pots though. Lately i haven't even been into anything serious. All i got now is 2 lemon skunks that i have been experimenting with. Defoliated the shit out of them and so far, i dont think they like to be naked.

It is half roots organic b2 half perlite. Not only does perlite help drain water, it also retains water without saturating the soil. Anyways i always do my seedlings like this. They are 6 days old. Gonna experiment with defoliating them a week before flower.

Yeah go for it. Most girls like it. Some dont. That plant on the right looks crazy, fat indica leafs, but they're long like sativa's. Probably in a week or so you can top them.

How long does it take for a plant to recover in soil with cal-mag deficiency? You can really see the purple stem on the leaves. I have been spraying them with a cal-mag water mix so they can get it faster up the plant. I was reading some where that cal mag moves really slow up the plant stock is

this true?

Got home from work and my plants was doing bad so I flushed the soil with new nutes with the proper pH making sure all the water drained out I also used epson salts.

Islandgreen · Sep 30, 2015

This morning looked at the girls the old leaves are dying but the new growth is going off after a night flush.

Islandgreen · Sep 30, 2015

Got my 900w led mars hydro light and I'm going to trans plant my baby's today.

DankTankerous · Oct 3, 2015

Have you used Mars Hydro before? If so have you ever bleached your plants by the leaves being too close to the LED's?

No I never really put it to close to see if it would burn my leaves. I know you have to have it 18" or 24" away from your plants . This led are no jokes they are pretty strong it hurts my eyes I have to wear sunglasses to get into my tent. I know you have to have your lights close as possible without hurting your plants. I want to see how close I can you get it without hurting them. This is my first grow so I'm trying out everything I can. Happy grow :weed:

sweet man, good luck! yeah I run a pc grow right now but i would like to graduate to having a small cab to fit a few plants in but i'm worried about heat, so the LED's would be great however if height is an issue, which it might be being in a cab that's at least 3 ft tall. Idk I'll figure it out

My LEDs don't run any hoter then my cfl my cfl runs hotter then my LEDs by touch . I don't think you'll have any prob with a small cob as long as your PC fan can blow all the hot air out and replace it with new. I think if you can drop your temp to 80 and keep it there the rest is training. I have seen some crazy buds with cfl or LEDs in PC grow. Happy grow

I'm likeing LEDs the growth is showing really well on my plants.
