INTRODUCING my self

EQUIPMENT

INFORMATION about grow
Plants are currently on a light cycle of 24 hours. Gonna change when budding appears.

plants currently are 2 weeks and 1 day old give or take. Some got potted different times.

I have a slight problem with my feeding schedule with flora series on the 2 week. Just went what was on the back off the bottle with 1/4 strength. Trying not to nute burn them. but when feeding I do in a sequence of nutrients water nutrients water so on

also thought I had overwatered one plant looks bit under the weather and still does. First sign-of this i drained the excess water into the bottom tray then we’ve a pencil stabbed holes on top off the soil a inch deep. Trying to dry the soil out a bit. Since then has perked up slightly not much though. If any one’ got advice please share with me. Truly would be happy. The first photo is the plant in question.

The plants them self run at.

Temperature 25 to 28
Humidity 40 to 60

Enjoy the photos.

Hi all,

going to give all a update.

okay so my baby’s are currently sitting at 4 weeks old. They seem fine busting everywhere proper bushy.

I’ve started there nutrients already on the 3rd week so far they love it. Started it at quarter strength now I’m on half strength. Always keeping my ph in between6.5 to 7.0 never the very high end though.

have had a problem with the temperature. Since that I mad a modification to my tent. Cut 4inch round circle top of it placed a 4 inch fan blowing air out. Also opened my windows to let the air flow in also I have placed a bug mesh on the fan to stop the pests. Have a photo off this modification lol.


My bad news is might have a bug problem I have something going on inside the tent. Since this I have a army of ladybirds coming my way. There’s a war coming and red and blacks are going to win.

all all they are looking good. Enjoy my photos.

peace and love

Hi all,

thought I’ll do a update....

First off all what shit weather has the UK had Jesus was cooking here for like a week.
Being this had a problem with the heat control. Went out brought another carbon airfilter. To suck that hot air out. Also replaced some more air intake still was cooking.

So going forward plants are 3 days to 5 days away from the 5 week mark. They are showing big pistils everywhere. Growth spurt all over. That LST worked that shit is crazy. Side branches are as tall as the big main cola. WTF

I am feeding nutrients every feed slowly bumping up. No major issues there. My baby’s are drinking more. Every 3 days.

just hope they don’t get to tall. As my tents height is only 120 tall.

I will keep everyone informed as I go along.

god bless.

peace and love bring the vibes
Ps enjoy the photos

Hi I noticed your grow bags are on tent floor if you can creat a air gap under them About 10 cm will do it will keep the roots warmer and dryer aiding the plants overall health better drainage is the key . Od.

Hi all,

quick update to my journal .

so my plants are now 6 weeks old. And are very big lol. I’m still feeding with flora series. I’ve had to swap the feed schedule to flowering from preflowering to stop the growth as my tent is not big enough. there Taking to these nutrients very well I must say.

Growth wise, pistalls popping out of every branch crazy .

still feeding every 3 days. I am noticing a few dead leaves at the bottom of the plant. So I just remove these as I don’t want Mold or rot in my tent .

also slight issue still we’ve the English weather. It’s like Jamaica the weather it’s fucking hot . But can’t see no major signs of stress upon my plants .

take a look at me photos. Enjoy

Hi mate sorry , if you can elevate you plants so they are not sitting on tent floor make up a rack for them to sit on I use upturned square pots with cake cooling racks . If you can do something like that it will help your plants keeping warmer dryer roots , as well the drip trays need pot risers in them to keep plants roots sitting in Run off . Creating the air gap under them will also help air circulation a good soldier for keeping PM away . OD . Check out my pics you can see my easy fix .

Hello onedrop,

Hi there I will try it’s hard though as the height is a massive issue at the moment. Headache . I’m growing in me mums loft lol which is converted into a bedroom it’s got carpet and it’s insulated. So it’s already warm.

Hi there,

You have got a big one lol. There big ain’t even reached the full height either Jesus I thought mine were big. Looks nice and green though and healthy.

Well done mate

God loveS you

Yeah I'm trying to gather information from other growers re: topping. This is a heavy sativa and just grows tall and thin (random seed to hone my craft. I have paid for seeds waiting for after this rando-crop).

So there are 2 goals here one in to get them off the cold floor this will improve your root zone temps and growth/ overall health, I set my whole tent up of the floor by using 2x4 wood.
