hey doeeyed awesome grow! got a couple question for ya if u dont mind...what is your schedule for feeding during flowering with the jacks nutes..and how often do you give plain water? And i know it is hard to say exactly ..but about how much water do you water a 3 gallon pot with?
Click to expand...
Thanks guys, yeah Cruzer, that was helpful - I appreciate the tips!
For the most part, I feed (both during veg and flower) every two out of three waterings. If I have a strain (or an individual plant, which happens) that seems to require more, I'll skip the plain watering. Conversely, if one shows signs of overfeeding, I'll give an extra plain watering. You'll learn to read what they want - best to start with a two on one off, IMO. As for how much water, I usually use about one gallon of water per three plants, can be more or less depending on size and age. Just water slowly, until the water just starts draining out the bottom, stop there - and let it go until the top two or three inches is dry again.:peace:

Cloning will benefit your setup and style so much more. It would take a whole lot less time as well. Go into the cloning situation with a can do attitude and by golly youll be able too. Make sure you take your time and follow everystep of which ever step by step guide your following and you should get great results. Youll learn your strain inside and out which will enable you to know exactly when to harvest and everything. I can't wait to see what your gonna do with the 4 600s. You gonna add one of those 400s in there in the middle or something just to get light everywhere?

Thanks, GFK! No my 400's are going to be used with MH bulbs for vegging, now.

Great update Doe.
40% rooted? My first try I got 2 out of 12 to root so dont feel bad.
But ya know with a little practice almost all root.

Same here. Give it a couple more attempts with the aero cloner and you'll be in the 80-90% range in 5-12 days.

I hope so! So if I build the 23 site Stinkbud cloner, will that be enough to get me 18 successful clones? Or will I need more at once? I was gonna build two, didn't think one would be enough.

I would say you could expect to hit that # most of the time once you've got a round or two of experience under your belt.

instead of buildn two take alook around for a bigger tote and then u can adapt the size of the pvc to fit new length..i had a buddy that built a 75 hole cloner..that thing was a beast

ive seen 100 percent rooting with or with out clonex..i believe its all about location of the clone cuts..bottoms are the best

Well my morning is just not going right. Took a nice swig of my coffee, and wouldn't ya know, there's an asian beetle in it.:cuss:Get your ass out of my coffee and in the fucking grow room where you belong!
Anyway... Three out of six Church seeds didn't germ, as well as the Kings Kush. :wall:Everything else has sprouted. With half the Church not making it, I'm thinking possible bad batch of seeds? The Kings Kush...That's the second time they've sent me a free one, and second time it hasn't germed. Not to say I couldn't have done something to fuck it up, just saying, the odds are bad. I hate it when one of my babies dies...I know it's just a seed, but hell - I'm personally invested in every one of them, what can I say.:-(

Uh oh. I hope this isn't a common GHS problem. I've had pretty much 100% success with my Highgrade Seeds germs. Would like to keep it that way, especially now with them being feminized.

what are the temps the seeds are germed at DE?

78F - I don't think that's the problem, though, since the other 14 seeds sprouted. One of the Church sprouts looks weird, too - instead of green it's almost white, on top, and though it sprouted, doesn't seem to be growing.

Well the Kings Kush isn't GHS, pretty much everything else I've grown has been GHS, and I had great luck with the rest of the seeds. The Church is the first one of theirs I've had a problem with.

EDIT: I'm gonna go grab a pic of that weird sprout so you guys can see what I mean.

I was just gonna say the same thing. Usually there is a reason why shit is free. Not saying all their free shit is bad.. just sayin'

Well The Church wasn't free, I mean one of them was but the rest I paid for. Here's a couple pics of that sprout - still not growing. Sorry for the out of focus - I didn't realize the camera focused on the dirt instead, lol.

Oh ok, my bad. I must have misread that. That might still make it as long as the secondary leaves are ok. I just popped 2 Lemon Skunk seeds and one of them had trouble shedding the seed. It actually killed off one of the first leaves, but the second set (first 'true' leaves) grew in right away. So now it's got 3 instead of 4 leaves but it seems fine.

That one looks like maybe the seed casing got stuck or something. I've had that happen. Sometimes they end up making it but I've had them die too.

Hey guys, I was checking out the threads on Hempy Buckets - any of you tried this? How about a good place to buy Perlite that doesn't cost $35 in shipping, for a $15 bag? If this is a legit method, I may have to switch over from soil - save our backs a few aches and pains. lol Hauling four to five cubic feet of soil is no fun - especially if it's gonna be every five weeks.
