First Time Grow Diary In The Uk

Yes I was gonna ask do u have any grow tips. Iv mainlined one of the WR to see how it handles it. The others I'm gonna top?? Does it grow like a Xmas tree shape strain? Thank u for your advice :)

Matter of fact yeah it does. One of the things i liked best bout her was the structure. I had my best results in regards to yield when i topped once and cleaned the bottoms up real good.
I did w.r. in both dwc and soiless. Its a pretty easy strain to grow imo. Clones well. Grows well.

That's good to know ....Thanks for that. I just chose types that I thought would be the easier ones for a first time....altho I can't wait to try others. I'm getting another tent for flowering. How long did u veg it for?

Oh Ye I was gonna main line for 8 colas but not sure if I should leave it at 4 colas. I don't want a load of popcorn bud. What was your avg dry yield?

My first grow. I'm a UK grower. I'm using a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0m tent. 600w hps light in a cool tube. Air exchange in the tent is by 2 in line fans a 4 inch and a 5 inch. One on the cool tube one on the carbon filter. and I have 2 floor fans to keep air moving. My growing media is canna soil and my nutes are bio bizz. I ph test water going in and I test the run off too. I am growing ak 47 White Russian Early Sativa and Big Bud XXL. I am getting a second set up the same so I can put indica strains in 1 sativa in the other. I'm not sure if that's the best way or if I should just have 1 for veg and 1 for flowering? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I have limited room and don't want to waste any. I bought seed for them all ( reg seed not fem). They are currently 12 and 15 days old. 1 white russian already has 5 nodes so I need to decide if I'm gonna main line it or not. Other plants are at 3 nodes each. The smallest by far is the big bud XXL which I believe only comes in female form? I have attached pics I took this morning. any input appreciated

We've had that here too actually....Poudre River has hit flood stage several times and famers getting their low lying fields flooded and the crops ruined within...I live rurally in a primarily AG based County here...we are getting it from the El Nino that is really strong along the Pacific right now but California is appreciating the break from drought there from it...
Again, welcome to the love of the grow bro and the best to all your endeavors in farming!

Good luck with your 1st grow.. and your Plants look
happy healthy and green to me. and the noticable fact
you've not over watered them... :-) i think thats one of the
biggest issues begginers have. Grow strong

kbellfoy · Jul 19, 2015

I think I was over watering at first till I found out its a Newby mistake. Iv eased off a lot. Just needed a but of confidence I think.

kbellfoy · Aug 9, 2015

Some pics if the ladies. All my plants except 5 AK 47 turned out male. So just them left now. Flipped em a week ago and got flowers more or less overnight. 2 nights actually. I'm not sure how many bottom buds to remove as I don't want popcorn but have no experience yet.

RG420 · Aug 16, 2015

Coming along nicely fella!

kbellfoy · Aug 21, 2015

Thanks RG420. I'm a lass lol

kbellfoy · Aug 21, 2015

Finally found my own damn post lol these are the ladies today. 19 days in flower today. I flipped em on 1st August and they flowered on the 2nd of August. These ladies were flipped at 28 days old as they had already pre flowered lovely in veg tent. I couldn't believe how quick they flowered. I was expecting to wait about 2 weeks to see any action. Iv not updated this diary as iv been chasing my ass resolving what seems to be one prob after another. First grow so what can I say....They are still here tho and seem to be back in growth after a really bad Def prob recently. At one point I thought they would die. Today I scratched in some EWC and gave them a lovely bloom tea cause I'm sure the stretch is over now. I tell u what....its not been boring lol one drama after another.

This is a flower pic at 10 days old. Can see some crystals if I zoom in on it. I'm mighty proud lol.
