My cabinet grow journal!

[born2killspam]

The thing you have to realize when gathering knowledge from sources of questionable integrity etc is that even though your knowledge of the subject in general may completely dwarf somebody else's, they may still have some random tidbit of info previously unknown to you..
As an example, I've actually learned wilderness survival tricks from university hippie tree-huggers fresh in from Toronto who haven't even spent actual time in the bush..

Haha..Does seem like your running out of room/light Other than that, they are looking lovely. Man, I wish you could see mine, they are in there 2nd set and growing fast. Its so fun watching them develope.

Happy Growing

Well, get some pics up man!!!LOL!! Would love to see 'em, i know what ya' mean, i see mine grow everyday. Well, now that i got some great words of wisdom on here!! Thanks guys!!!

Thanks Somebeech. But even I have new things to learn. Sometimes from just reading forums I learn. Or peoples grow journals. In fact, I have learned a thing or two from some of your postings.

So I always welcome others trying to help too.

But yes Lilmafia, If you could do what somebeech described, it will help significantly.

How are your bigger ones doing? I am gonna have to go take a look at your last pics of them, I am pretty stoned and can't remember the pics.

Well, I hope me and somebeech and the others were able to help some.

Happy Growing

LOL!!! You must be high, cuz they are 1 page back and three or four up the thread!!!! Good times man!!!! They are doing good, last night was their first 12 hour night, so i am officially flowering!!!YAY!!!

 

[lilmafia513]

I see alot of improvement.A little confused my friend as i help alot of ppl here and on another site,as which plant is what now,the 4 in the pic that are in the black grow bags the one on the front lft didnt need water looks still overwatered are is not getting as much light as the other 3.On the mh lights i bet if you put your hand palm side towards the bulb your gonna find that almost ALL the light is going sideways as opposed to down,and would be better hung horizontal instead of vertical.Next time you go tryit,But i know cause i have a 400 like that and had to do mine that way to achieve the best footprint.Just because i dont post dont mean i havent been here, lol.Krat seems to be helping you just fine.

Yup, i appreciate the help from both of you!!!! Just make sure ya' say hey when ya pass through beech, Thanks!!

On my MH lights, I just picked up some sheetmetal today to bend into a reflector. I am gonna try to make one reflector for both lights, maybe! Or just for the new one i put in i suppose!! But, the plants seem to like the lights that way, but i still think sidways is better also....

One thing though, i have only gave the big eight one dose of the grow big like 4 days ago,started flowering last night, and will prob. need to water in a day or two.
Do i give another dose of grow big since it hasn't actually started flowering yet, or start using the tiger bloom now for these eight?
Thanks guys!!!

If you fed them 4 days ago wait to feed them further.. Another thing you're going to need to watch is that your new fertilizers don't react badly with the remaining time release stuff..
As for the double reflector, I think you'd regret doing that.. It takes options away from you, and ends up being one bigass thing that is tough to adjust, tough to store, and inappropriate for any other space..
A good idea when you're building is to think about how you can hide things should the need ever come up.. I really like modular construction for that reason.. The first frow room I ever built took about 30 hours to take apart without 'Hulk smash' methodolgy.. It was a good room, but I remember staring at giant buds and not being able to think of anything except how I could avoid jail if I ever had a security issue..

 

[lilmafia513]

true, i thought about it more and thought the same thing. no big shield

 

[drynroasty]

Looking gnarly... I think you're going to need a bigger boat... lol

 

[lilmafia513]

Hey guys!!!
Here are some pics from today, i decided to drop the bigger four down a lil' bit they were too close to the light.
Also there is some random top shots........What do ya' think!!!! I think they like their new gro big and tiger bloom!!!LOL!!!!

 

[lilmafia513]

Now, i know it's only been like two days flowering, but i noticed these today and thought i would get some shots of it. These are from the four biggest ones that are in the front row.

Any thoughts, i'm expexting to tell if it's a male or female, but any guesses? I can't get any better shots, trust me i deleted about a hundred off my camera before posting!!!LOL!!

 

[born2killspam]

Looks a little masculine, but that trich formation is rather impressive.. Those tops look really nice..

 

[SOMEBEECH]

They look alot better as far as males ive had plants look like males and turned out female in 14 days of 12/12 you will no for sure if not sooner but 14 for SURE.Overall they look a hell of alot better now.On nutes more is not better in most cases follow the directions.I let the plant tell me what it wants and yours dont need anything but light for AWHILE.Dont make me come find all your nutes,and watering bottles, LOL You gotta learn to stop with the wanting to water and nute em,are your gonna burnem and will never be able to get all the stuff out on the final 2 week flush.When you get ready to harvest we want you fan leaves turning yellow telling us it has used up almost all the nitrogen cause in most cases this is where the bad taste comes from nitrogen left in the soil and plant .Flowering mj plants need very little N and theres plenty from what ive seen.My plants get 1 dose of FE at the start of 12/12 then none for 6 to 8 weeks. Did i see 11 fan leaves on 1 of those????

thanks man, i guess we'll wait and see for a few more days before getting trash happy on the possible male. Thanks for the comments!!!

Thanks man, yup i planned on giving them the whole two weeks before making any final decisions on their sex. I gave them a small dose of grow big for the last week of vegg, and gave a intro dose of tiger bloom at start of flower.
So, you say DON'T Water or give nutes for awhile, what? about a week or so? wait you said 6 weeks, but that would be almost the entire flower time right?
The big ones really do drink less water than the smaller ones in the cabinet. I guess this is from the fact that the 3 gallon pots are not anywhere near full of roots yet?
Well, if ya' come make sure ya' bring some of that AK47xjuicyfruit with ya'!!!LOL!!

Oh, yes i didn't even notice before that one of those had 11 fan leaves, is that a bad thing?
Thanks again beech, hope your feeling better!!!!!

 

[born2killspam]

We can't really tell you what the schedule will righteously be with 'your' setup, plants, and nutes.. Letting them show initial signs of hunger before feeding again won't hurt them, and you will get an opportunity to deduce a schedule, rather than using any suggested schedule and hoping for the best..
Same goes for watering.. Once you know when to expect initial signs of need, you can pre-empt it by a day or so, and your plants will love you..
When you're dealing with the same mother plant for multiple crops you can 'really' learn how to keep that woman happy..
And remember what I said about the importance of waiting for complete results

Very sell said!

Yeah they are looking great, Keep going, could be some lovely ladies. This grow is turning out great.

And about the cam for my pics, Gonna try to get myself one for xmass. And I will post pics, they will be at a interesting time at that point, about to enter flowering!

I think you missed the hole point...No nitrogen as FE is what i use for nitrogen.Now that your flowering you want more P and K nutes every other water is what ido.Did you get the horticulture molasssas? i give them a dose now 2tblp per gal you have to use warm water with what ive got and shake it to help it dissove.My plants love the HM it assist in opening channels and helps with uptake of nutes and also gives a sweet taste to your buds.Follow direction on the TB as i dont use it. I only use during flower Gravity and Snow Storm and Horticulture Mollassas.Ive been doing alot of thinking on your grow and have come to the conclusion that you might want to consider adding some sand this will help with aeration just put it on the top of soil b4 watering it will go down and act kinda like you added more perlite are achieve the same results.I induced flower on my 5 bosai plants 18th of nov.and i went and looked a few minutes ago and there covered with trics looks like snow on the little bud leaves hence the Snow Storm.This is with the naked eye no magnifier wish i had some pollen a friend is supposed to bring me some ppp pollen But i need it now to make another cross as i like to pollenate em then in another 30 to 40 days ill have some more beans.As far as the 11 leaves no its not a bad thing there was a song about it cant remember who tho,but id probly make sure i cloned it what strain is that one?My cross has 9 never had a 11 only 9 and it was only a couple limbs then it went back to 7.

SRY born i left the rep for you and forgot to put my name.

 

[born2killspam]

What is horticulture molasses, and does it cost more than $0.91/lb? Some things just don't need to be specially designed..
BTW somebeech, you'll want to polinate waay before another 30-40 days! Now would even be a tad later than ideal..

Edit: Oops, read that wrong, waay wrong.. Good luck with the seed production..

I just did the same, we're even, no worries..

Some ppl use blackstrap mollassas lol might be backstrap difference is it has some important micronutes and stuff designed for plants and i pay 5 bucks for 64ozs and notice alot of difference in my plants that at 1 time i didnt use it on NOW this was all done with clones from the same mom as i havent had any seeds for almost 2 yrs so its pretty conclusive IMO that it has helped.Whats 91 cents a lb pure cane suger are the blackstrap? SRY for the hijack lil maf.What part did you read wrong cause im here to learn too and have not had any prob,with this way.Sure it would prob. be better to do it maybe 2 weeks ago But im not wanting to start a SEED business lol,you could checkout the link in sig as ive crossed before?

Thanks beech, it's actually just a bagseed, but i've never seen a fan leaf with 11 leaves before either. I did take clones from the four big ones and they look good.
I'll get some sand for the soil, i was actually thinking of adding more perilite, but i like the sand idea better!
I'm not adding HM to this grow yet, these are just bagseeds so i wanna wait for the WW,PPP,Skunk#1, to get bigger and may use it on that. Honestly, i can't afford the HM yet, so i have to wait awhile. Thanks beech
