Beadles first proper grow...

[Beadlesprout69]

I will definitely give a smoke report for each! I literally cannot wait. Having a break from smoking for the next 6-7 weeks, as quite frankly I am flat broke apart from money to pay the bills for 6 months. Have to prioritise and hopefully it will be worth the wait. Paying for bud is hopefully a thing of the past

My last big purchase was for 12, 3 litre curing jars...

The temps outside are much cooler. The girls are definitely getting thirstier. Upping the amount of water at the end of this week. Lights have been at full power and fingers crossed,I still haven't found a thrip!

Managed to get a few good pictures tonight. I for the first time ever wrote my full schedule and products used from scratch. It surprised me when I looked at it all on paper.

Here's today's pictures, day 20

Looking great, nice size grow!

Thanks amandak. I wish I had more space. It's a tight squeeze

 

[Beadlesprout69]

Mistake there. That was meant to say the bottom picture is the ice cream cake,can't wait to smell what terps she pushes out late in flower. Then tried to reply to the last message and it morphed into one. Lol

Keeping a grow diary I thought the time would go slowly waiting for it to finish. I don't know if it's flu but time is flying

I've really enjoyed keeping grow diaries here. It's nice to see progress from updates and its handy to look back on to see what you were doing. And, I have also noticed time is flying lately.

Grow looks fantastic man.

i feel in the same boat time is flying lately! i think all the days just run together lately

I had always read that keeping conditions and environment were important when growing indoors. I had always attempted poorly to mitigate rather than control these issues.

This time, given the fact I had the time due to flu, I have monitored and tweaked my fan controller hourly to try balance my room and canopy temp evenly to a desired set point.

I have also for the first time controlled humidity.

It makes a massive difference, a huge difference. I will never overlook these factors again,I recommend it to anyone just starting off how important this truly is.

Feed doesn't mean anything if you don't have environmental factors in order.

My growing before felt a bit stop start, my growth would slow down a bit then speed up a bit. This time I feel shocked each time on my daily inspection.

One of the Tropicana cookies tops, the picture my friend showed me of his grow of it had the bud bright purple and the leaves bright green

I'm hoping for some purple shading on her. Only the solitary Tropicana cookies in the bunch, can see her being moreish.

My blue dream sherbet have not broke soil yet, but it's early days yet.

After 4/20 I will not be toking until this is through. Not far off now!

Be the first break I habe had since leaving the merchant marine.

A friend, indeed, sent me a sample of some thc oil capsules he made. I took one about an hour ago, I haven't eaten any edibles in a long while. Feel like I'm on a ride ATM, interesting to see where it will end!

I made a slight error this morning. I made my water up last night but after feeling pots i decided on the next morning to water.

The water cooled overnight as I forgot to replace my fishtank heater, watered them and had some slight droop,coming back to a bit half hour later.

It was by no means freezing,but this should not be happening again. Stoner moment high on thc capsules.

Here's today's picture with a slight brewer's droop!

 

[Beadlesprout69]

Had one of the blue dream sherbet surface which is a good sign...

 

[Beadlesprout69]

They are back with an hour or two, lesson learnt...I am dopey idiot sometimes when high!

Phew!

 

[Beadlesprout69]

Happy 4/20 everyone!

Seem to be able to balance canopy temperature at the room temperature between 77-78 farenheit, 25.5-26 degrees Celsius.

Everything still looking good. The next feed should be a telling one.

The further it goes on, I he more nervous I get about anything going wrong.

Day 23

I predict or hope to pull in 40 days.

That might be wishful thinking but it would be really nice if they all finished around that time. They definitely don't seem like they have much sativa influence bar the dosidos,she may finish a little later from the look...

A lot can happen between now and then

I'm smoking some cookie dawg, pretty damn good for local UK bud...tasty!

 

[Dirtbag]

Lookin good Beadle!

 

[Beadlesprout69]

Seem to be able to balance canopy tempera

Lookin good Beadle!

Thanks Dirtbag

Had the first day today where I didn't notice much progress. I remember from last time patience is a must. Something I definitely struggle with.

They are definitely frostier than yesterday, that is for sure.

The genetics are all completely new to me.

I didn't keep any mother's but I can get a fresh supply of the same ones.

I have my t5 tents set up now, and when the chillis and tomatoes are out of there they will be keeping mothers and clones.

Trying my best to follow good hygiene techniques with my grow room.

I am trying to get my outside gardening done, then shower and change my clothes. After keeping my fingers crossed with not spotting any more thrips for a week or more. I don't want to take any risks of taking anything from outside in with me.

I have found oiling my decking outside, it makes all bugs stay well clear of my garden.

First day of the break, from the bud. Trying to keep myself busy.

Told myself 40 days is like lent. The abstinence will make the heart grow fonder.

I keep pouring my left over fertigate mix over my strawberries and they are loving it!

 

[Beadlesprout69]

Today's updates, they are due a feed first thing tomorrow morning. I upped the volume of water the last watering,and they have took that up and dried quicker than ever. I will keep the volume the same this feed but if it continues again I will up the volume again.

I will now be measuring all my ppm's after mixing each feed so I have a baseline to work to incase anything goes wrong.

My friend told me to drop my base nutrients to 50% week 6-7 when using the pk and Moab, instead I would rather measure my ppm this week, and use this figure as a datum, then when I get to week 6 and add the Moab combo with my 50 percent base, I can add my base nute to match my datum figure. I will be upping my Calmag slightly weeks 4-5 and then a little more 6-7.

I don't want to overfeed, but I don't want to underfeed either.

I took pictures of each group of plants today.
