bl33b's Power Skunk 400w HPS Grow Log

thanks for all the info
yeah four of the five seeds have popped above the plug and look pretty good so far, i still havent given up on the fifth one, i still think it might pop, i actually put a toothpick down in the whole and just barely touched the seed pod and it looked like the root was growing sideways and pushing the seed kinda into the plug instead of up and out, so i tried to adjust it just a tiny bit more upwards, we will see if it helps
not much else to update, no watering or anything
enjoy

Yeah problems with roots occur...a few of my bagseed had bad problems...
like root curling. It's like it didn't know where to go...The root just went towards the light...mighty strange

day 10
i went ahead and took the fifth seed out and the root was all green and gooey so i assume that one wasnt gonna pop, oh well, four outta five is pretty good
I used two gallons total to water the four remaining plants with one tablespoon hydroguard, two drops superthrive and one tablespoon fulvic acid.
i watered the three plants in the two gallon buckets each one half gallon and the one in the two liter bottle with six cups.
the first pic is all five before i gave up on the fifth one, and the second pic is of the most developed one.
enjoy

4 outta 5...why i otta...
lol
thats double what i got...lol

day 11 update
the four plants look good, didnt water today since i did yesterday, probably wont have to for five or six days since the sunshine mix seems to hold moisture very well.
enjoy

put a glass of water in there to raise humidity hopefully

i suggest putting a battery in with the water... that will also help the plants absorb some c02 and will help evap the water so your humidity will rise and stay at a constent.

wow that does seem like a cool idea, do ya mean just like a double A battery or a 9 volt, just a regular battery?

A car battery works best haha j/k. I am going to have to look into this as well

Still here man..Looking Good too, sorry to hear about the loss.
I just started to LST my plants today (which i recommend) and they seem to be adjusting.

If you have any questions just ask, they're looking good though, just maybe move the light a little closer

Yeah, move the light closer. I heard dont know if it's true, but vegging under a HPS then flowering can create even more stretch.

Mystery- I see you're growing THC Bomb. I almost picked those up myself! Have you grown them before? The strain looks interesting, but could not find a lot of people growing it or reviews.

Are you sure? HPS puts out the most lumens, and if used during both stages has benefits that MH does not..MH used throughout has benefits HPS does not too!

Bu yeah bro im growing the THC Bomb, and Mazar.. The Mazar came free, but the THCB was recommended to me, and I didn't any of the classics because I live around them (NL, Skunk, WW)...Its suppose to be a high yielder though, so we'll see
