Jimi Hendrix's First Grow!

[racerboy71]

hey jimmi.. what kind of pot do you have them in? in the pix it kinda looks like they are in like a beer cup or something along those lines.. a bigger pot will allow the roots more room for growth, and will allow the plants to get bigger...
and are you still using that mg soil? if so, try to add a lil dolimite lime to the soil.. it will help with your ph and nute probs some..
and sog stands for sea of grean.. it is a style of growing where peps don't veg the plants for very long and usually just have a bunch of small plants as opposed to several bigger plants..

Okay, so I took some of my fellow RIUians help and I took down the foil on my cardboard box and I put up white computer paper..







Thanks everyone, help/critisicm is always good.

Great man, flat white is super reflective, not as much as mylar, but still great! Foil creates hot spot, you don't need that!

Yeah I think some of my plants were getting burned, because one day my second oldest plant a spot, and I flushed the shit out of it. Now it has a couple spots on different leaves, and a spot got on my oldest one, so after that I had to change it

yeah gj, that white paper made a big difference - also when they start getting bigger you can mix a bit (2 tbsp) per gallon of unsulfered molasses in and it will act as a carb booster, since your on a budget there might be some of that in the kitchen...

Damn, i've never even heard of that stuff, so I'm pretty sure I don't have any lol. Do you know if they sell it at Jewel, and if so how much?



I am currently in the flowering process, will I be safe to still use it?

 

[JimiHendrix]

Well, I bought some new lights, another clamp light, and another Y-joint last night at Home Depot all for only $17.85. The lights came in a 4 pack for only like $7. They are ecosmart CFL's, 2700k, 1600 lumens, and they are 23w each.

I got rid of that piece of shit lamp I had in the grow box, and replaced it with the clamp light.
In picture number 1, that is how my setup currently looks.


Anyways, picture numbers 3 & 4 are Izabella at 18 days, 4th day of flowering.

Pictures 4 & 5 are Ren at 17 days, 4th day of flowering.

And pictures 5 & 6 are Roxanne at day 23, 4th day of flowering. You can kind of see the new shoots starting to grow out nicely, but it's hard to tell because my phones camera sucks.

I forgot to take pictures of Stimpy...I am starting to think that Stimpy is a Sativa or a Hybrid. When It first started growing I thought for sure it was a Indica, and now newer leaves are starting to look pointier and not as bushy.




All comments/criticism is great! Thanks for reading

glad to see you got rid of the foil.. your ladies will reward you kindly.... first grow lookin good...

 

[JimiHendrix]

Also, I'm still using 2 other CFL's that are in a higher spectrum than 2700k, should I switch in another 2700k, or leave the higher spectrum bulb in? Thanks.

glad to see you got rid of the foil.. your ladies will reward you kindly.... first grow lookin good...

Thanks man..I think the foil was starting to burn the leaves a little bit.

Thanks man, I've had a fan on them since they were tiny.





*****12/01/09 Update*****
Day 6 of flowering, 25 days old

This update is all about mah main baby Roxanne. Yes I named her after the Police song, fuck you.





Roxanne now has six nodes (yay), and she is a little over 8 inches tall, 15 inches wide. The stem is about the width of a pencil now. Today is her 6th day of flowering.

The 5 fingered fan leaves are now bigger than my hands! It is really growing fast everyday (about a inch high, and wide).


****Pictures*****


As you can see in the picture 1, the roots are starting to get insane.

In pic 2 you can see the thickness of the stem, and the different nodes.

In pic 3 you can see how well the topping I did a few days back is going. It now has 3 different colas instead of the original one.

Pic 4 is a shitty pic (sorry about my phone's camera quality) of the nodes, and how well they are doing in the 6th day of flowering.

And pic 5 is just the plant zoomed out. It is getting a lot taller every night.








Hopefully in a couple days I can figure out the dudes from the babes.


Thank you everyone who has commented, subscribed, or even viewed my thread. Thanks for all the positive input you all have been giving me.

Have fun growing, and blaze one for me.

Okay, so here is some new pics I just uploaded today. Roxanne (1st), is at day 21, day 2 of flowering, Izabella (2nd), is at day 16, day 2 of flowering, Ren (3rd), is at day 15, and same as Stimpy (day 15).




Okay, so I woke up this morning, and I found my light on top of my plants! Izabella and Roxanne got a little burn, but not too bad..


Also, Izabella's nutrient burn got worse, so I flushed it out really good. It is now the second time I flushed it out so it should be good by tomorrow hopefully. I also flushed out all the other ones, just to make sure they dont get nutrient burned.


I noticed some new growth on the top of Roxanne and Stimpy, and it has only been one day after topping them.




I got a question for all you veterans out there.. If I veg for 2 more weeks after I find out the sexes, how much more will I yield (just ballpark it).

Thanks, rep for good answers.

Buuuump...Any questions/comments or constructive critisicm would be great..

Keep tokin

You're off to a great start.
What nutrients do you plan on using?

Im using greenthumb plant food and bio-bloom as of right now, but I only use a 1/8th of the recommendation, and today was the first day I used the Bio-Bloom.
