Hows it going over there? Day 3 here got everything I need :D

About to hit my seedlings with 1/4 strength of some kelp/seaweed mix tomorrow to promote some root growth :)

Also got a hortilux super HPS for flower ;)

Got the 250w MH about 6-8 inches from my seedlings

planning on finishing them in 3.5gal pots

going great man very nicely movin along, given them a ph'd watering to 6.5 soon like u suggested.
good to hear u got the 250 that close my 1000w hps is about 5 feet from them and the temp is constant at 75, will probably lower it a lil later.
im finishing in 3 gal smart pots, i just figured didnt have enough of a veg time to make 5 gallons necessary.

ya i think it maxed out at 79 at plant level but thats with the 1000w 5 feet from them... dayum.
would love to see them when they are bigger sadly all mine are gunna be small when flipped, thinking on the 23rd or so. they will be small but im not going for height as long as i get some good branching going on by then ill be happy, im shooting for an oz a plant hopefully. which would be 12 oz's plus i have a monster plant in my roomates room, gunna cop at least 2 zips if not 3. its less then 12 " high but its wider than the bucket and has about 30 tops. definately a nice little plant. but my roommate has trouble grasping the concept of taller is not always better.

anyhoo watering right now then passing out for the night.
night yall

exactly gotta love the handle its a life saver, i hated trying to move those 5 gal homer buckets.
the only thing i do not like about these is they make watering a pain in the asssss. if water touches the sides it goes right through. so have to add water in small amounts.

IMAG0045.jpg This day one and the next is exactly 30 days later!!!IMAG0197.jpgSo sweet Mac say's she is on steroids LMAO all the way to bud heaven (i hope) anyway did a bud site count the unofficial result is 44 for the natural grow BBG and 26 for the topped and semi LST BBG and 12 for the TD this is of course only day 4 of flowering so we shall see Gotta say Mac i love the TD strain did some LST on her today so she could get a little more space from the monster BBG leaned her over this morning and she is already turned up again by 5:00 this afternoon a good sign she is healthy and growing fast will post a pic tommorow as it was to close to lights out for Pics tonight, so did a reservoir check today and it is official the girls are very thirsty plants drinking 1/2 gal of water a day this was the second measurement taken in 7 days to monitor their water usuage and this is awesome considering their size the Nat BBG is just over 12"s now and the other is at roughly 6"s and the TD is 5"s with 6 internodes developed with maybe a 7th growing ( not sure if these are pistil's or set of leaves). Cudo's again Mac on how nice your girls are looking glad to see you got past the PH or nute issue whichever it was anyway time to do some more research and brush up my horticulture chem have a good night all Later

lookin awesome as always kid, and thanks they are all lookin pretty happy too.

sounds like you will have some nice smoke as well kid, i just wasnt obsessed with size this time like i was last grow, now im prolly gunna have 12 or 11 depending on hom many males i get.
hopin for an oz each. give me some nice headstash for summer. but ya never know i might take this stuff into a local dispensary and see if they would like some.

yours are lookin very nice on day 3 verde, i think i might be trying to keep the more sativa TD as it seems to be taking to lst better than the other. and all that anticipation is just killer haha.

just finished up lst'ing today and the babies look like they like it already the nodes are pushing out and up!
TD seems to take lsting very well, transplanting too.

Yea I'm getting used to the watering of the smart pot. I think I'll be buying a watering can instead of watering with the usual 32oz slurpee cup. I think I might call them again and ask why not put handles on it, would save me alot of stress if I continue to run a couple plants in 5gal.

Transplant shock seems to be non existing with the Smartpot, idk if it's because of the aeration or what but I'm happy. 3week veg from seed in a 2L pot and tp into the Smartpot seems like it'll work for me as a regular thing. prob a 2week veg with clones. I can't wait to cut some TD2 and APG1 clones in about 19days get those suckers going :).

When will you be taking clones?

probably like 2 weeks into flower so they take a while to root and have time for them. gunna give a few clones to my friends who grow and see who can keep it alive, the sativa pheno looks like its growing a bit faster, also already has some resin production.
but if not no worries i got a seed left from my 5 pack. going to be growing mostly only from seed now as i like how nice and uniform they grow its not dependent on how the clone is cut.

i nkow what you mean bout the transplanting my babies had no slowdown in growth when i transplanted actually the opposite they were thriving! lol and ya i think im gunna invest in one too.
pain in the ass to water lol.

FFUUUUUCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!
on two of the plants i 4 topped and tied down i guess i tied them too far down and broke them where the stem meets the branch.
so i un tied them and tied them so they are standing back normal hopefully they will heal themselves it was only on 3 tops, but def a mistake i wont make again i dont know how i didnt catch it before....
o well all i can do is smoke a blunt and hope for the best!

ouch! yes! hold the broken pieces together, and it will heal! But that's a good deal of stress, be careful with them!

Only train at least an hour after you water... this is the rule I came up with... When the branches are dry they want to snap... when they are all watered and wet they just want to bend around for me :)

ya definately i lst'd today and watered last night but the soil dried out fast i think that may be due to the aero pots.
they are being held together tied the two tops together in the middle so they stand up.
i will def have to be more careful with those 2 then very glad it happened to my bagseeds not one of the strains i want lol, supposed to be a good strain... only 1 other person grows it besides me. and he grows outdoor.... like a 1000 plants in humboldt and this is apparently theonly strain he will grow
