    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Just a little update with photos. Pic 1: A pic of the grow tent. Just topped and flipped. Showing some minor problems. Think I just had too many changes at once. Other pics: The Veg Cabinet, it is being used to flower this time around. All are female. The big ones are sisters of the ones in...

    Drawstringing?

    It started doing it after I topped. I guess that could be. But, it is also doing it on some of the lower branch's new growth but not as bad. Thanks.

    Drawstringing?

    I always PH my water. I don't have a soil tester. Maybe I should try testing the runoff next time I water if it doesn't straighten out. I have heard Cal-mag can cause drawstringing, but I use Cal-Mag+, it is my most used nute combo. Thanks for the advice.

    Drawstringing?

    I am in FF Happy Frog. I use FF trio very very lightly. I use Cal Mag. PH to around 6.5. PPM now about 300 when I feed. It was hot(80°f) and humid 60-80%. But now I am running the vent when the light is on 73-76°, 40-55%, for the last few days since I switched to 12-12. I did Azamax them last...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Haven't found any more hermies. They are looking good. Calling 17th the first day of budding. And the 12-12 seedlings are also showing sex. Pretty sure these are feminised seeds because all 9 that have showed have been female besides the one hermy. So I flipped the others on the 18th. May have...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Topped all my veg plants yesterday. They are going to have a very dense and even canopy, hopefully not too dense. I am out of area, they are starting to crash. Waiting until they recover and flipping them. Will have to wait to trellis them because they are not sexed and don't know how prevalent...

    FIM Tutorial (taking the guesswork out)

    I seen where he was coming from as I missed the growth tip on one of my plants and the tip came back and the only outcome was I had some clipped fan leaves. I thought it might have been too high. You have to make sure you get low enough to get the tip. Some phenos are more difficult to FIM. You...

    OK my FIMs seem to have failed. My growth tip is coming back up, the only difference being the leaves that were sprouting when I FIM'ed are deformed. It may have stunted a little to let the bottom branches catch up a some, but the outcome was not expected or desired. I have to top the ones I had...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Spring water was coming in at 150ppm and high six PH. So I am going to try it for awhile. Went to move some plants around and had a mite right on top of the first one I touched. I tried my best to ID it with a magnifier. Pretty sure it was just one of my soil mites. I checked them intensely...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Getting my first signs of flowering in the cabinet. Seen a few pistols. Fimmed the rest in the tent. All are looking pretty good. As soon as they recover I am flipping them. I am about to go across the lake right now and gather some spring water to test. Used to bottle it to drink when we were...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    So I flipped the veg room to flower last week so I figured since I hadn't fed them Grow Big, I hit them with a 1/4 dose. The seedlings in cups took it well but the bigger plants started clawing and drooping by the next morning. I am just not sure why they would do that. All I can guess is...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    DAMN IT!!! Decided to Azamax the plants preventatively today. Dropped one bad. I'll be surprised if it keeps up at all now or even if it doesn't die. Did see that the roots are getting pretty tight and they have slowed down so guess I better transplant.

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Alright I FIM'ed my two biggest babies. They are putting out 7 leaflet leaves at the 5th node so I decided to FIM above that. This is my first time FIM'ing and I now see that to FIM there it will be better to wait another day since those fan leaves are still pretty small. It is like at the point...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    I can't figure out how to delete a post and I made a blank reply so I will just mention I have springtails and for some reason, maybe the heat, they are springing everywhere in there. I hadn't seen them for awhile so I thought maybe they were gone. I don't really like them, but now even worse...

    Babies look great today. So I learned: It isn't a good idea to try to use molasses instead of Cal-Mag. It isn't a good idea to try to dehydrate your plants with low humidity so you can water them sooner. And I shouldn't try to do alot with them when I am exhausted because I end up doing more...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    Ok so it has been like 16 hours since my last post all hell broke loose. I used extra molasses last watering because I didn't have Cal Mag. Well one of my plant was looking a little funny. So I wanted to get them watered today when my delivery came so I ran the exaust all day trying to make sure...

    DankDave420's Mixed Strain Soil Grow from seed.

    One month old. Last day they will be together. They are getting split in half. One half will be going into flower, the other will vegged and trained. Because there is so many plants this go, the smallest will be flowered in the veg cabinet and the biggest will be trained in the bloom tent. It...

    Fox Farm Trio only users don't use the feeding schedule!

    And I probably could have left that off when saying "the basics". I started using Blackstrap Molasses as a Cal-Mag supplement trying to kill two birds with one stone. I never noticed a cal-mag deficiency but, I started doubting molasses was enough because of lack of sources backing that up. So I...

    Fox Farm Trio only users don't use the feeding schedule!

    I mean carbohydrates. Virtually all of the big fertilizer companies make one. Some examples are Sweet Raw, Bud Candy, FF Bembé, Blue Gold Super Carb, FloraNectar. I personally use blackstrap molasses. Thier main use is to feed the soil microbes. Some also claim that it sweetens thier flowers...

    Fox Farm Trio only users don't use the feeding schedule!

    The feeding schedule uses less because it accounts for the additional nutrients on the schedule. I would definitely start lower than thier recommendations on either the bottle or the feeding schedule. The Big Bloom is not very potent, it would take alot to burn your plants. It is mostly micro...
