1st Indoor Grow

COliving · Jan 27, 2016

This is my first indoor grow, 20 lights, 2 rooms of 10. SCRoG. Potted in 10gal pots, with coco loco. Cutting edge base. Currently in week 5 or 6 of veg. Master kush and 1 light / 4 plants of critical plus. One room has been topped, the other is a bit behind as I was slacking on my up potting. Starting this as a running "journal" of sorts to keep track of growth. Will update every few days.

Wow. Very nice

It's been a bit since the last update, lots going on, can't Believe how busy I've been the past week.
Tons of work going on in the garden. Got CO2 burner hung up finally. Installed a humidifier since up here in the mountains 20% humidity is a good day. Did a bit of up trimming, trying to water was becoming a real task. Also hoping it'll promote some vertical grow as growth seems to have slowed down in both rooms. Now for some plant porn.

Oh and here is one of the critical plus moms, she is a bit out of control, almost 3' wide lol

Have they all been topped? hard to tell by pics. removing the top will encourage the side shoots to grow more. (encourage is not the right word).
prolly could trim off some of the under brush, get rid of the smaller branches below canopy.
remove any foliage that is crowding so more light will penetrate.
I know that's a lot of work...but that's the part of being a grower.
They look healthy...good job

One room has been topped, the room that's a bit behind has not been topped yet. I did some up trimming on both rooms, now I've just gotta go thru and open up the canopy a little.

Thanks for the kind/encouraging words. It's been a fair amount of work to get to this point. Was hoping to get 2 runs in before outdoor season but, I'm quickly coming to terms with that fact that is NOT gonna happen. Springly is rapidly approaching up here in the mountains it seems with day time temps of 40-50F.

Another quick update. Did some more uptrimming last night, I can see where its helping with vertical and horizontal growth on both room over the last couple of days. Starting to get some good fill on my screen, shouldn't be to much longer on the flip in room one. Fresh pics from this morning before lights out. Sorry my picture taking skills are sub par at best.

Looks good... With every grow you will find what works and what doesn't, Then you can tweak your technics.
And once you have it dialed in, every time spent in grow room will shorten and your yield and quality will increase.
If you think that it may be crowded, eliminate a plant or two. It gives you room to spread them out, they will get bigger.
Keep it up CO...

I don't believe that the slower room is to crowded just seeing slow growth. It seems to be picking up a bit though. I only have 4 10gals per light. The other room is jammin pretty well, lots of tops thru the trellis. I'll get more pics posted up tomorrow for everyone.

OK finally got some pictures to put up. Been running around like a mad man the last few days!

COliving · Feb 25, 2016

Quick update, been a few days due to car issues. Everything is coming thru pretty good now! Flipping 3/1 what do you guys think good choice?

Bannacis · Feb 26, 2016

I thought it already was flipped... do it now, they getting too big.

COliving · Feb 26, 2016

No on the flip, I was waiting for them to fill in the trellis a bit before I flipped them. ill go ahead and get them flipped today!

Great job CO! Ten gal coco pots are huge though. Maybe next time run fives, save yourself some dough imo. Not trashing in any way shape or form.

COliving · Feb 26, 2016

Yeah I ran the 10's cause I had the coco loco already just sitting and the pots where a hell of a deal. 10's definitely are growing some huge ladies. I'll get some pics posted up of the other room tomorrow. I ended up adding 6" high tables in the "slower" room just to get it at the trellis so I can flip both rooms at roughly the same time. On a side note I got seeds for critical Kush, pineapple chunk and super Kush that I'll be popping soon.
