also the PH of the water dosent really matter, obviously you dont want some off the wall PHed water but the soil will act as a buffer and it will stay the same. baisicly you cant change the PH of soil with water.

Just lowered the lights some since I've been able to keep temps in the mid 70's the past few days. Gonna keep a close eye on temps for the next half hour or so to make sure it doesn't get too hot. I'd like to keep the lights close for the next few days of growth if I can :)

Temps stayed down to a high of 82 with the lights lower so I'm going to leave them that way for the rest of the week. Then next week I will raise them a little again, and so on and so forth. Just to get the right amount of bushy vs stretch :)

Had a nice present on my doorstep when I got home for lunch :)



Look at all the crap I've bought for this "let's just try to grow another plant" idea lol!
When I bought the Happy Frog they guy threw in a 60x loupe for $10. So I now have both a 30x & 60x to check my trichs :)
Then the thermometer and moisture gauge and lights and fittings and adapters and so on lol. Hopefully all will be worth it for this grow and grows to come!

So far, looks good. I'm on my first grow as well. My plant however is over a month old. Around a month and a half. It's doing really well. Hope yours turn out well. :)

Its always worth it. Especially if you stick with another grow. Each time you grow (at least when your starting) you increase your yield significantly. Plus, its not like you will use anywhere close to all those nutes for just 3 plants :).

The second time I grew paid for all the equipment I bought and more.

Thanks! Good luck to you as well! Have you started a grow log at all?

Ya when I ordered the quart size bottles I pretty much knew that I wouldn't have to buy any again for quite some time :) Same with the large bag of Happy Frog. Next year I would like to do my entire grow without spending any money lol. Next year I plan to get a hold of a feminized seed and do a scrog!

Thinking I need to get another small fan to blow directly on the plants to lower the temps more. I'm fighting 83+ degrees with the lights lower...

subscribed .. waddup everyone . i did a cfl grow a couple of years back illl post the link. im intrested in ur grow because you are using BAGSEED. although i only have 1 grow under my belt i do have lots and lots of knowledge from alot of reading, riu, and a buddy who grows and has been 4 awhile. from what i have read (excluding mids or highly commercial grows) is that if u had bag seed from a selfed plant meaning u only had females not 1 male in the room and find seeds in ur bud means that the plant grew a male part to ensure cannabis continues 4 the next season. which is common in all strains long story short is bagseed of that sort are seeds that are either females or hermapordites aka hermi. im thinking that males from ur last grow were hermies seeing it can only be female or hermapordite unless it was midgrade weed. so i ve been looking at bag seed grows that arent mids cuz the people who grow mids in mexico plant 1000s of seeds which means males are present which means seeds of mids are reg seeds that contains male genes not selfed seed that come from bomb bud with not 1 male around that have no male genes . i have 30 blue dream haze seeds which is a clone only strain and i am very eager to plant 15 to root out the hermis. any input advice or anyone who disagrees or KNOWs different not heard different.

hey man, plants are either male or female, Hermies are not determined during time sex is determined. some plants DO have strong traits to go hermie, usually a seed from a plant that hermied and polinated itself. anyways not sure what your reading but would like to have a look. it sounds a bit bogus from anything i have ever read about sexual genetics (wich is not much mind you) :) just dont want to see yoou pop 15 seeds for no reason

sup matt i am sayin if u have an all female crop and harvested to find seeds there is no male gene in the seed its called selfing. im wondering if im going to have issues seeing bdh is a clone only strain. im down to root out the hermis. but yea zip from my first grow i had temps from 80's to 100 sometimes and they grew fine. you can add a fan or enrich ur grow room with co2 or both . co2 helps a plant withstand high temps plays a role in yield and most important thats wat they breath

yeah if its a all female crop and you find seeds then one of the plants hermied. if you knew wich plant hermied you could junk the seeds from it as they have a higher chance of becoming hermie. BUT the other female plants that got polinated will be feminized seeds, either way the seeds are going to be fem, just the plant that polinated itself carried over the hermie trait and the chances are higher for a hermie offspring.....I THINK!!! hehe

I was having heat stress signs on my plants a week or so ago from having the lights too close. Hence why I backed my lights off a little. I'm getting the perfect ammount of stretch between each of the 5 nodes on each plant :)
