My very first grow room

Hey, have you downloaded and used the software that is available here in RIU? HERB-IQ is the name... I am using it and it helps so much on keeping up with things in the electronic way as apposed to the 'written journal'. A lot easier to! Has great features on it, and you don't have to count calendar days either lol. Home screen has various stages and how far along each stage is. You should check it out. I am looking back at my last grow and I think that most of my problems, hind site is 20/20, started when my bagseed got root bound. I think that the plant was over 3 feet tall in a very crappy 3 gallon container and I mean 'crappy' lol.. You see the pot I am using now in my journal and wow, what a difference it makes!!!! Love the fabric/smart pots for sure!!

happy new year!

You're making great progress. It will be 6-7 weeks before you see the results. Just in time for Valentine's day The large one is calling for a smidgen more fertilizer...and/or pH 6.0. I know growers who keep it at 5.8 with great results.

I got my friend with the headband to go from 5 gal pots with promix to 3 gal pots. He's no longer spending all night flushing his girls after a screw up (fewer of those these days too). You can see that his plants are very healthy, and budding hard at only 11 days.

He's going hugo blocks next run. He didn't know that there was something so effective and foolproof as rockwool. My goal is to help him go from yielding several ounces with a 1000W light, to yielding over a lb, maybe with a 600W. My rockwool run will start later this month, when clones are available again.

good to hear you're getting that pH thingy down ;P

you're doing well. those short stalky ones look perfect. just stay the course. patience is a virtue. now comes the boring, nerve rattling part

pro mix loves to build up salts...so let 30% run off, and let them get dry between feedings.

I now tend to make sure that the pro-mix has dried sufficiently before giving any more, I've come to better understand why the importance of checking with fingers in soil and lifting containers for weight as well as noticing things such as shrinking of soil from the edges,etc. Here are a few pics from yesterday, I didn't bother closing the HPS so colors are way off but it's mainly to show the buds.


The leaves on this one almost seem Sativa dominant, this is the bag seed plant.

I hope my bag seed turns out like yours great job keep up the good work happy growing and remember a stoned grower is a happy grower

Some pics in macro from earlier today.

Things are looking fine ! keep it up , next time pinch them ! your gonna get a way bigger yield

Very Nice Grow Indeed

Look forward to more bud shots for sure

Peace and Great Grows

They are looking great!! You will enjoy the smoke for sure! I did not super crop mine this time around either... hope to get a good yield still. I think you will just for the fact that you they are under 600 watt. They will be very nice!

Yeah, I need to switch from the glass pipe and head to the bong or vap. I am thinking both LOL.... I also need to stop smoking, but as science has concluded that it is harder to quit then Heroin, I am not in good odds. My wife smokes as well and it is even harder for her. I can go a long time without where as she can not.

My C'99's still have about 6 weeks to go and I am thinking more like 8 to 9 more weeks on the blueberry gum.. will have to wait and see with the 30x loupe. Can't wait as it is so much better smoking something you have put time and dedication into rather than trying to 'score' some LOL.

I should post new pics by tomorrow to show how my plants are coming along. Today is day 28 and it's such a big thrill seeing all those buds take form and get bigger.
