1st grow (wish me luck)

DerRauchen · Feb 21, 2010

This is my first grow. I am using the 1000watt MH for veg at the moment. My mature plant is 3mo old from seed, I had her under l.e.d for about 2mo then about a month ago I got my system. The clones are About 1 1/2 weeks old from the spence, they started in oasis cubes and I just threw them in the dirt. I gave the clones a transplanting mix of nute's for veg. There all looking pretty good, two of my W.W. clones had yellow leafs but they have a lot more green in them now. Also I have them on a 18hr daytime 6hr nighttime

Kit:

1x 1000watt HPS/MH

grow store soil

1gal pots

Room temp max 88f
min 72f

2mil mylar

Recipe for Success Starter Fertilizer Kit

Plants:

1x diesel (center)

3x I.S.S. (right side)

3x W.W. (left side)

I swear if it was not for google I wouldn't be doing any of this, so easy how to look stuff up these days. But it's actualy taking the time and effort.... or some thing like that right lol

.MEDICAL USE ONLY.

All the plants are looking healthy for the most part. I watered them three days ago the again today but with a 1/2 liter dosage of nutrients from a 1 gallon mixture (1x 1/2liter per plant).

The picture below is for a 1gallon mixture of nutes for Veg stage.

So after looking into some things. I decided to raise my clones up from the ground so they don't waist any energy try to reach for the light. I'm hope'n that they will get bushier now instead of all lengthy.

DerRauchen · Feb 24, 2010

The two pictures on the left are I.S.S. and the two on the right are W.W. I just recently brought them up closer to the light. I fed the nutes about 3 days ago, so Its just about time for me to water them down. I hope the I.s.s. Shows improvement and the W.W. is looking a little lengthy.

Any tips?

Reply here or pm me.

Ok So I just fed my Diesel some more veg nutes after giving here a deep root watering a couple days ago (Not to worried about over watering, it drys uber quick) So lets see some Improvement in her.?!

They look real healthy my friend.

Its great to see ya following directions for the nute mix.

I see way too many others drop a little of this and that in there soil and wonder how come their plants look unhealthy.

Those white widow plants stretch, so its pretty much the genetics and not because the light is too far away.

With a 1000 watts you wont encounter that problem.

Id reccomend you getting an eye hortilux hps bulb for flowering.

Hopefully your ballast has the option to run an hps bulb.

I wouldnt run that mh in flowering, but some still do.

If them nutes dont do your plants justice, I would reccomend Fox Farms, the full line.

My 4 soil grown plants Im doing up next to my bubblers have been on the fox farms, and I never seen em healthier.

So far so good, Keep up the clean detailed gardening... Peace, CG

I'd wish you luck but it doesn't look like you need any, you have a nice lil setup there and all of those plants look beautiful. Keep up the good work!

Thats what I forgot to mention Completely, I do have a Dual ballast with a 1000Watt hps bulb waiting for my gurls ^.^
I'm glad to hear I'm not messing up to big. I will look into the Fox Farm nutes, can I just switch from one brand of nutes to another?

Thanks for the Advice CG

I cant see a problem with you switching at all.

Please follow this feeding schedule for some of the best looking, and producing plants around.

If you need any more help, just ask.

Best of luck to you fellow German

For sure man, I'm all about attention to detail with the horticulturing. Any one can grow buds, but not every one can grow bomb buds. And I know that this is my first op, but i want to at least double my investment amount ya know. So if extra time and care is what my gurls need, then they shall receive.
I aint German but I love the language. Lived there for a few years. Either way: Der Rauchen= The Smoke :joint:

DerRauchen · Feb 25, 2010

Alright so while my little ones grow I've decided to focus on the mature plant I got. Should I trim some fan leafs to allow more light for lower growth? Mind you, I have the plants in a room of 2mil reflective mylar.

Any Advice?

DerRauchen · Feb 26, 2010

Alright so I did the math, I have my plants currently in a 4x4 area (the grow room is 8x6) so the space my plants are taking up is about 16Sq Ft, my light is pushing 110,000 lumens. So thats 6875 lumens per square foot in a 4x4 area. And 6k+ lumens I have read is optimal.? Am I right. Or just tired and medicated? lol

DerRauchen · Feb 28, 2010

It's been a couple of days since I've been able to update, working more hrs. These are the latest photo's. It is time to give them nutes again after a week of watering. There looking pretty.

Right: ISS

center: WW & ISS

Left: Diesel

DerRauchen · Mar 4, 2010

Ok so after a few days.

I gave them nutes two days ago, and i'm on a watering schedule of every three days. But here's the thing. I put my gurls to sleep last night, when I woke up a few of the tops had slighty bent over, don't know if its from the weight. Any help?

Ill get some new pics up here shortly

DerRauchen · Mar 5, 2010

Ok so I think my clones are doing good. But my Mature plant is worrying me a little.

The last two pics on the top right are of my mature plant, she's the one with the issues.

Bottom left pic: WW at 3weeks from clone

Bottom right pic: ISS at 3weeks old from clone.

Also I am going to be adding more dirt to the pots, needed to do it sooner but budget calls 1st unfortunately.

ALSO 1 WEEK from today I will be throwing all of them into flowering for a 2mo period. Based off the pics and the growth what could I possibly expect in yield? Or is it more based on flowering period.? these are questions.

p.s.

Here's a help topic i posted, just thought I would log it in the journal.

DerRauchen · Mar 9, 2010

Ok So I'm on about weeks 5 of Veg for my clones. I just gave all my plants a batch of nutes last night. So I'm going to be flowering them here on the 6th week. Also I did some pruning on my big one. They look pretty.
