First Time Caregiver Grow

This is my first time grow.
I am about to put these into flower as they are about 20-23".
Various Strains


Couple days ago.

These are from yesterday.

Cutting my lighting back to 16/8 tonight and probably down to 12/12 by the weekend.
I have a variety of strains going in this grow.

Here is what I am using:
1000 W Digital
Ebb & Gro
440 CFM Fan and Scrubber
Aquarium air pump for 60 gal. tank
"Vornado" Style Fan to move air.
GH MaxiGrow and MaxiBloom.
Ordered Liquid KoolBloom and probably Powder KoolBloom when the time is right.

Any suggestions or questions are welcome.

These are about one week into flowering. Full 12/12 with MaxiBloom and Liquid KoolBloom at 1 Tsp per Gallon rate.

Pulled a Male plant yesterday and caught it as it was one that was behind anyways. Thankful for the rest being female.

Looks good! Thats good you caught the male, usually the males are the ones that grow faster from what ive experienced. good luck on your grow!

Thanks, personalgrow. I saw that it was looking different than all the other ones that turned female as there was extra growth around the flower. So I asked a more knowledgeable person and they confirmed that it would be male. I was almost convinced just from comparison but wanted to double check instead of pulling a perfectly good plant. Now I had two seeds that I ended up starting later and turns out one ended up being the male.

Starting to show some buds! Not very big but we are on our way. It is pretty cool to watch them grow and look back at the other pictures. My phone is the only thing I have for a camera so it is kind of hard to see the bud growing in the last picture. That one is from the center plant currently.

Nice looking grow, I don't see a single yellow leaf, just how I like it!

These are from the second of this month. I am thinking on my next reservoir change to flush and start using the Dry Koolbloom at lowest dosage which should be 1/4 tsp per gallon with the standard 1 tsp per gallon of Maxibloom that I have been using. Definitely looking good just cant wait to see them explode.

Sub'd. Looking good, man.

According to previous posts I should be at the 3 Week mark from full 12/12 light cycle. Of course I have all different strains so no definite timeline for harvest. From what I read in the last two weeks is when most weight will be put on. I am most likely going to flush for a week at the end or at least a couple days. I am pretty sure I have run out of space in my buckets for root development so possibly I should put them into flower earlier next time. The tallest are around 43" with as small as 25" but as long as they burst with weight gain I should be happy. Hoping to average at least 2 oz per plant.

Today I topped off my reservoir as it was getting low and everything seems to be going smooth with the implementation of the Dry Koolbloom. Hoping to see these start to explode here in the next two weeks. I am seeing very few hairs turning red at some of the top koalas. The two pics of the koalas are from Gigabud and Blue Venom strains and are doing the best along with my center one which is an OG Kush, it is just hard to get a good picture of that one being directly under the light. Still hoping for a 2 oz (or better) average yield per plant.
