End of week 1 and they're doing well. Despite the Afghan getting sliced up it looks the strongest seedling. The only water they've had up until now is a light spray 1-2 times a day. They'll get their first soaking in a couple of days which will be just distilled PH'd water, their second watering will have molasses added.
End of week 2 now and growth on 2 plants has been rapid. They're due their second watering and was gonna add mollases but read many people use it from the start of flowering so leaving it for now. Im adding 1/4 dose of Grow to 3 of the girls feed but the other im feeding just water as it is stunted and has yellowing. Need to find out what it is? The second smallest doesnt look great either, the leaves look a little deformed, wonder whether its dodgey genetics?
Anyway here's some pics, first is the Afghan...thoughts welcome.
Its 3 weeks now and they're coming along nicely. They all showed sex by day 18. They've been under a 250W MH for the first few weeks and was planning to use a 250W HPS for flowering. Well, I decided to get a 400W HPS and ballast instead as I think I'll be able to control the temps from that. Now they're under the 400W Grolux and will be fed their first dose of Bloom tomorrow....
These girls are proper rapid! 4 weeks from seed now and the magic's begun!
Here's a few pics of each of the beauty's.
They're on 1/4 strength Grow/Bloom/TopMax every other feed and depending how they react I might increase that to 1/2 strength. I've got some yellowing on a couple of my leaves, gonna have a look in the infirmary but if anyone can advise what that is it would be helpful. For a second I though predator had been in my tent!!
Also had to put some wooden battons across the walls of the tent as the suction from the fan was pulling the loose fabric inwards and reducing the footprint quite a bit. Not ideal but fixed now. I would have thought the dearer model is made better and a tighter fit so probably worth the extra $$
Just about had it with this DRS60, the street model is utter crap! It's loose as fuck so even the fan on low power sucks the walls in, and the light leakage is now annoying me so im buying the DR60 and using the street model as a dry tent as I need it. Seems plenty of people use the normal model without problems so I hope they're much better quality?
Half way there now! All girls seem to be doing well. The new DR60 is much better, should've got that in the first place. Temps are good, keeping it between 82-86F lights on. Gonna start adding blackstrap molasses to the plain PH water feed.
The easiest way to tell is the street version has DS60 printed at the bottom front and the other has DR60.
Imo the street verson is crap because the reflective interior is terrible, the fabric is loose even when zipped up. The zip is low quality and always gets jammed. It leaks light. Its quite a bit cheaper than the DR60 but not worth half that amount imo. The DR60 is much better and having none of those problems.
I've just picked my beans for my next grow. Gonna do 4 strains. 1 x Vanilla Kush (Barneys Farm), 1 x K.O. Kush (Sannies Seeds), 1 x Utopia Haze (barneys Farm), 1 x Super Lemon Haze (GreenHouse Seeds). Because of height restrictions i'm gonna try the 4 cola topping method with all of them...should be interesting. Not sure if im gonna do a journal though as there's not much interest in this one.
Not updated for a couple of weeks, been lazy. Day 49 today so not long to go now. They got their last nutes today which was 3ml per ltr, they'll get one more dose of molasses then I flush for a week or two.
I know what people mean now when they say AK smells like cats piss! Fucking Stinks!! The Afghan is getting soo frosty and smelling goood! Cant wait to sample that especially
Next update should have some close up trich pics as im getting a USB scope this week
Havn't got my scope yet but took a couple of closer pics and it looks as though the trichomes are pretty cloudy already on the 2 most mature plants. Could these be finishing early or is that normal for 7 weeks?
