New light! And new growth!!

[Dan813]

Trying my hand on my first successful grow got a new mars hydro ts600 switched from two 16w boost lighting lights hopefully she will take off! It’s been a week since I topped her she’s coming back!!

 

[ArtfulCodger]

Congrats on the new light. You might back off the intensity a bit. The yellowing between the veins suggests the level might be outrunning your inputs.

It prolly has a momentary shock but we don't know what it looks like before.

I just ran those light specs down for a new grower and it's a pretty well balanced 100 watt panel but at full power and at 12 inches the center will fry that baby.

I'd make sure also that the room temps are good. Open floor area can be pretty cool and plants like warmth at least 70f and will tolerate upper 80's. What's the strain?

 

[Dan813]

Thank you guys. It is a saint marks skunk which is sweet skunk x white widow. I made the soil there’s probably a hundred red worms in there! I’ve had the new light for three days and the top where I topped it took off it’s grown more sine the picture this morning. The humidity is at 65% surprisingly easy to control in my closet. And the temps are at 79 degrees that room stays way warmer than the house guess they don’t insulat the closet lol! But she was doing pretty well just super slow growth which I have narrowed down to the two 16w lights everything else is exactly what everyone says it should be ph’d at 6.3 and my run off is about the same. I’m expecting a take off in growth with this new light it’s way way brighter and offers a true full spectrum. What’s should I do next guys I take your advice seriously I love growing anything it makes me feel closer to whatever is above us lol thanks guys!!

I have the light at about 21 inches I’m scared to lower it because I’ve tried multiple grows and can’t get past the veg stage idk why outdoors they just take off! She didn’t look much different I gave her. Little bit to much N a few days ago not too much but just a little over dose but it’s time to water the top two inches are like dust so I’m gonna water tonight or in the morning I’m so scared to water that’s how I’m pretty sure I’ve killed everything else but I know know is time the pot is light

I don’t have a way to adjust the intensity you just have to raise or lower the pulleys I had t have those two 16 wat lights extremely close to get any response I think I’m not positive but I think that’s what did it it caused the leave blow like the 4 th node to taco and the twist and the edges would roll over now with this light on the third day no tacoing just a slight pray I’m not sure I just do A lot of research and YouTube especially the strain show he’s awesome and breaks everything down into layman’s terms I know I’m far form calling my self an actual grower but I’m determined to learn and not quit!

It's a weed! If you feed it, it will grow. I do agree with height on yer light. More intensity means more heat. Giving time fer adjustment in the cells to adapt is a necessity. I am an indoor grower and if I take one of my plants outside an go to work they will die. Acclamation is the key good luck!! And yes don't stop growing.
Juss keep growing juss keep growing!

This light will get you where you want to be.

If it is a photo plant you need a place of complete darkness for 12 hours.

Work now on the most stable environment you can with minimal and slow changes to temp and humidity. The plant will adapt but not if it is jacked around up and down.
These things are amazing.

Keep your side lights in case you need .............

So you are watering to runoff. What type of soil is in the pot and what nutes have you chosen?

Thanks brother! I’m just gonna let her do her thing for about 3 maybe 4 weeks then switch to 12/12 and pray the stretching hormones kick in and she lengthens out

The most hilarious part of growing. Being patient. Welcome to the Farm!

I made it it’s like 30% worm castings with the worms and 30% Mother Earth ground swell a then the rest is added perlite which some how has sunk down about 2 inches idk how and I’m using the General hydroponics flora series because after researching for countless hours, he just seemed like the perfect pic for somebody who’s just beginning to grow

Thanks man. I absolutely keep the side lights I’ve watched countless where people use those little lights for the bottom of the plant so everything gets light I hope I’m on the right track. I’m keeping everything stable as I can. Humidity at 65% temperature around 79 like I said earlier this room has no insulation in the walls so it stays a lot warmer plus if it gets cool I have a small heater that would work perfectly in this room. It seems to exhaust pretty well under the door. Everything stay stable believe it or not. That part is working for me. I think it was just a little lights. They just didn’t have enough power to feed the plant so quick question I topped it once so now I’ll have two main colas should I let them grow out about three or 4 inches and top it again, providing some LST to pull them to the sides so the lower nodes and get more light? This is truly my first indoor grow where I’ve been successful this much. or should I just leave it with the first topping and just study it and see what it does that way the next time I can do better what do you think?

 

[JIMKSI64]

Leave it. We need to see how this thing sorts it's self with the new light. With proper nutrition and lights that plant can triple in 2-3 weeks. Keep in vegative. When it is needed use Low Stress Training. Nothing needed right now but let it grow.

Ok the soil you choose rocks.
The addition of EWC could have waited and been used as a top dress. If this starts to turn dark green we will know what happened.
Flora series is a very complete basic nutrition choice. Ensure that you are using the soil application feed chart. In addition a lot of growers miss a big part of the equation for some reason where they eliminate grow when they switch to flower. There is substantial overlap for a few weeks when both of all 3 products are used. Just follow the feed chart.

I mix it how it says on the bottle but a little less strong because im sacred to death to lock them out! I’m at about 1/2 strength now and I do plan on buying another container of worms to dump in this weekend when I go fishing! I just don’t want to mess up all the ones I’ve tried to grow indoors always died on me but now I’ve got the environment under control and a better light I’m just gonna take it nice and slow sit back and study the plant learn how to do it better next time

You really think it will triple in size? That would be so cool I’d probably faint! Haha I hope so brother

What about a scrog net do you think that’s good ideas or should I just let her do her thing and observe what’s going on?

 

[JIMKSI64]

Let's see how things come along. You have a long way to go before you need to train stuff. Lemme throw some guidelines up.

Training. Right around this size.

Here is how it looks tied down.

and as it grows it forms the crown

You will need a lot more vegative growth before you start training
