morning folks

morning sunni, hows all your end? not a bad day here, slightly wet and somewhat windy but that said pretty good....

 

[DublinGrower83]

so your 3/4 weeks in, there in the greenhouse yeah? how you finding it so far? weather must be a nightmare for you, not too bad cold wise but that wind is mental..

Actually not bad they seem to like it in there I have it pretty weight down with blocks at the bottom I take them out on nice days, it's after clearing up a lot today sun's out but very windy but so far so good ill put up some pics

 

[DublinGrower83]

It's 4 weeks now since they sprouted, the bottom right picture is the runt she's half the size as the rest and she has crusty tips not sure why she's gotten same treatment as the rest what you's think?

Pictures from awhile back, the acupulco gold really suffered with the cold wheater back then but the lemon skunk seem to be much tougher. I took pictures every week so i will up them as i get them sorted.

bottom is only a worry if it spreads up the plant cloudy, then its a problem or def of some description, sometimes if theres not enough light or from pouring feed over them the bottoms will die out but 99% of the time its nothing to worry about...

we start off the nutes at a low mix as its easier to feed more than take away if you get me, like the measure twice cut once thing only plant re-lated hahahahaha....

how many 2700k you got on them? do you have a little 6500k in there aswell, it helps them along a bit and in my experience keeps them a bit greener until late flower...

On the two top dawg I Have 1 125w blue, 1 125w red, and 3 23w red for side lighting... So I don't have to worry about the bottoms leaves too much?

 

[ae86 grower]

you do and you don`t, you have enough bulbs in there but were talking lumens, so i figure thats why you have dead or dieing leaves at the bottom, just not enough useable light getting to them, like said earlier tho, its nothing to worry about and happens regularly with feed being gotten on them etc, its not spreading is the main thing here i think....

so how you finding the flowering? far enough along now i`d say your seeing some real progress on them...

Been running the bulb at 600w the past few days and temps are surprisingly low, about 24 at the canopy so the extra watts don''t seem to add much heat. Feels a waste to be running so much juice on one plant but hopefully the extra leccy will be worth it. We've got a good number of grows going here atm, never seen the place so busy lol

genes..??? sometimes you get that, or some other varying deformed leaf, sometimes they can crisp up totally with only new growth being green and healthy, there could be any number of reasons, soil, genes water!!! anything really, that said they look healthy and happy otherwise...

whats the strain? are they femmed? auto?

 

[Cloudiology]

i sure am. quite a few pistils a popping. nothing to shout about just yet and i'm hoping for the sunday photo shoot to have something decent to show! i'll see if i can get better light coverage somehow.. the grow area is awfully cramped.. the plants are.. bigger than expected.. lol shouldn't have vegged for so long

yeah its great to see the thread moveing along, and all the new growers aswell, shows people are fed up paying mad money for weed..

i feel the same when you have only one going it feels like a waste but wait .... she`ll reward you for it, well as much a one plant can... you must have great extracton in there, i had nothing but condensation problems with the 600w in tight quarters....

well your nearly at the end of the stretch period of growth, it can get out of hand quick the height, but theres ways and means of getting them back under control...

have you much height left to play with, at least with the cfl`s they can grow practically into them..

it's not the height really that's the issue, besides cfl's lacking penetration, i have like 7 feet height. which is grand the problem i have is a bit with length, 3 feet, managable. the main issue is width. which is 1 foot. during the day i open the door to let them hang out and get some extra light to it. but at night they're pretty cramped.. which annoys me to high heaven. i wish i could give them more room....

 

[Cloudiology]

also when it comes to light and the lower leaves not getting much. i've read about pruning the lower leaves? no clue how to do and haven't read up on it much since i wanted my first grow to be as interference free as possible, hence no training or owt.

 

[ae86 grower]

do you find the leaves seem wet yet you didn`t wet them? it can happen when there in tight quarters, keep your eye on that if you get it, it can cause the bud to rot and mould to spread with ease....

 

[Cloudiology]

no no. i had a struggle keeping humidity high in early days. now it's onto flowering, i'm not gonna bother, and only address it if need be..

they call it de-foilating, theres two camps of tought too it, those that swear by it and those that hate it, i myself am a fan of sliight pruneing to allow light to get all the way to the bottom of the plant...

not to go mad pulling leaves off now, just some here and there ...

yeah that's where i back away from attempting it.. i wouldn't know which would be ok to and which would not.. feck it. i'll just get more lower light!

 

[Cloudiology]

I sense a lurking KushCanuck!

 

[stonerpaddy]

Ten weeks 12/12 today. The 2 Northern Lights in the first pic have another 2 weeks I'd say and the 2 Laughing Buddhas about 6 weeks.

 

[Cloudiology]

holy crap they look tasty
