Hello ppl. 1st ever post on this excellent site.
I'll fill you in and will soon get a few pics up. I think I've been on a learning curve with my 1st grow but hopefully, with the help of forums like this, and youtube lol, I'll get to grips with it and have the knowledge next time round.
Yes, I have made a few cock ups this time at the beginning. PH levels, to start with, where far too high and I think they got a bit overfed. The girls where not the size or colour I was hoping for after 5 weeks of veg! Quickly rectified this and they started coming on slowly. My light also I don't think done any favours to be honest!
I've got a pretty decent grow area. 9'x9'x7'. 600HPS, reflective foil in whole area, 6" ex fan. I think I need more light in an area like this, would that be correct?
I started of with 11 plants, 5 Pineapple exp and 6 Chronic. Sorry to say I lost 3 of them within the 1st 3 weeks. I'm growing in 5gal pots, soil and with iguana grow and flower nutes.
Another mistake I made was not giving the soil any perlite....i think the roots havent been able to breath and grow as quickly (please correct me if I'm wrong in any of this folks, much appreciated for next time around). Also during veg i was using the 600wHPS. I bought myself a 125w eco-light and used that for the last 4 weeks. I am now 2 weeks into flower after 9 weeks of veg, and will post the pics soon. They are looking alot better now and have attempted super cropping and bending with most of the plants.
Any pointers from anyone would be great. I hope I'm back on track. I'm just wondering do you think all the ladies will be fine and still pull a good yield?
TY all, GHA
