Waggs's First Grow Journal. (advice welcome)

[Waggs]

Yesterdays update.. I didnt get to post cause it stormed here all evening lol.

The first clones I made about a month ago before I had any cloning gel or any clue update. out of the 4 clones 3 live and were recently put into hempy buckets. you can read more on them if u like in the hempy journal in my sig. I plan to keep my soil journal and my hempy journals seperate for less confusion for me.

The second batch of clones that I made on march 24th after I sorta knew what I was doing and had cloning gel seem to be 3 of 3. I transplanted the wonder woman into a grow bag today with 2 inches of perlite at the bottom then a mix of 50% ocean forest 25% light warrior and 25% perlite. Watered her well and put her under some cfls in the veg box. Pretty cool they are exactly 2 weeks old the second batch of clones. Dutch Masters Replicator gel for the win Nice root mass twice as fast as the clones without any.

no water or feeding for the big ladies today. Plan is to transplant the other two clones tommorrow.

Heres some pix of the transplant of the wonder woman to her new 3 gal grow bag. The second cup from the left there is the clone I used. Check out those roots for 13 days

Last pix is the lil seedling that was damaged and is growing and the first 3 clones that were placed in hempy buckets. Source of the seed was mentioned in an earlier post.

More pix of all the soil plants tommorrow after I finish the last two clones transplants. Veg box gettin crowded.. I scored some reflectors today for the cfl bulbs i'll be redoing some of the veg box lighting soon.

Yes, it sure does! Back to the hole I go for a couple more hours, then I have to come and do updates. I have to use the journals now to know what days are feed days and what ones arent.. I guess I better start keeping a pen and paper one for a backup.

Yesterdays Update

Im late again on my update lol.

Yesterday I transplanted the last two clones into grow bags with my ocean forest perlite and light warrior mix. Gave them a good watering with 6.5 phed water and runoff tested at 6.5.

Veg box looking nice and full now

 

[Waggs]

another yesterdays update.. lol

I will try to update again today and catch things up.

Nothing yesterday for the big gals or the clones thier pots were still heavy.

Heres some new pix tho

Todays update.

The big girls and the clones seem fine, pots not light yet, so no water or food for them today.

I went to lowes and did a lil shopping for the veg box. Ended up getting a bit over 20,000 lumens in flourescent t8s for 100 bux. 250watts and change total. Some pix of the new lighting setup. Tommorrow I have to kinda redo the veg box and make it a little wider. Then I will fasten the lights together in pairs of two and hang them. 4 2 bulb 4 foot fixtures with 8 6500k bulbs 2700 lumens each. I like them so I will probably get two more for a total of 12 bulbs. Figure it will work fine for about half the price of the fixtures I was looking at on ebay. They dont get hot enough to burn at all you can lay your arm on the lit bulbs.. no burn spots yay

The light is up as high as it goes in the tent now lol.. darn that tall wonder woman. So I made a lil homemade cooler for the reflector. Seems to be doing the job. I can lay my hand right on top of the reflector and its not hot.

bout it for today.

Yesterdays Update

I flushed the wonder woman and the indica with 9 gal each of 6.5 phed water.

The clones have grown fast, I had to move the lights up over them.

My friend stopped over yesterday with some pretty good smoke. I found a couple seeds in the buds he left me, so I dropped em in a cup of water last nite, and both were sunk this morning, so I planted them in some party cups and they are in the veg box now too.

Will update again tonight when im done with todays work downstairs.

Today's Update.

So last nite right before bedtime I fed the three girls with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom. 4 weeks flowering as of today.

The clones are still lookin great no water for them today either. they have almost reverted fully back to veg, tho you can still see some trichs on them.

The unknown strain seed from the high dollar bag I named the unknown soldier. I hope its a lady soldier tho and shes lookin good.

I wrapped the veg box in black plastic today on top of the mylar that it already had, to light proof it. Also looks a bit nicer lol.

Lots of new pictures I found the top of my new lights to be just right around 80 degrees in the veg box.. so I just plastic wrapped the 2 new seeds that sank last nite and sat them up there. They are dubbed as bag seed M.. not using the dome this time.

The cola shots are Indica Aurora first, then White Widow, then Wonder Woman.

Enjoy the photos!

Ok tonites update..

Now they have flushed and fed soil and should be good to go for a few days I hope.

I got a new clip on oscillating fan today and I clipped it to the top of the tent and will run it on the plants at nite and see how they like it.

Heres some new pix I took while the ladies were out for feeding.

First three are the indica aurora. Shes lookin pretty sweet!

4 and 5 are the white widow.. shes startin to fill out some.

Last 2 are that incredible wonder woman. I hope she smokes as good as she looks and has grown

Thanks man. I'll try to stop over and check on your grow again tonite. I have been so busy downstairs I just havent been at the pc.. not to mention mowin the lawn bleh.

Big update inc with lots of pix haha.

So yesterday I realized I didnt have enough room to flower what was in the veg box. I can barely close the tent up at night with the three in there.

I began construction yesterday of a new flowering room. Its about 8 foot by 11 foot. Im just using what I can find laying around the house and garage.. but trying also to make something that will work for a few grows and not be junk lol.. Hard balance to find. Simple 4mm black plastic walls, some white paint on the concrete walls as I get time.. and some mylar on the inside of the other two walls.. should be light proof once I install the door. I'll post some more pix of course as I finish.

I ran fresh electrical to the room, wired lights and a switch and some outlets.. need to go get a few more outlet boxes tomm and a door so i can fnish up.

Heres the new room so far, then i'll do another post in a few min with pix of the gals, cause after all that typing.. its bong time!

 

[Waggs]

Heres the latest photos of the girls, almost 5 weeks now into flowering
