looking good
That Chem especially
did you have some leds running about the t5?
Oh and fuck plant counts

 

[gardnguyahoy]

Alright, runnin on 0 sleep so im gonna be quick as possible.

My veg space is kickin ass so far, i feel like some tweaking on the npk department and maybe a better way to raise and lower the t5s, more fan action, DE in the top soil and yellow sticky traps to smash on my growing fungus gnat problem would make it 100% for me. This is the space exactly 3 weeks and one day ago

And here it is today.

Proud of that before and after. Maybe not the fastest or best in the world but i feel as though i can keep a good cycle going constantly. Stoked.

Heres flower room day 51

Hope im puttin on a good enough show, im not planning on cutting til day 65 70 ish so they still got a couple weeks of development and hopefully size and girth boost. But im pretty dang happy for how my first indoor grow is looking.

I burnt the tips two feedings ago, feeling pretty good about where my nutes can go on these particular strains, hopefully next crop i can dial them in. 85-90% strength of the late flower formula for the full advanced line of NFTG at the MOST and hopefully i dont burn at that percentage next crop

Thanks for stopping by, sorry for this double picture. Too lazy to remove em both and reload it so... Enjoy it twice. Haha

Positive vibes homies! Peace.

Sick thanks for stopping by with some psoitivty and sound advice. I agree fuck em. But i got a fam, and this home isnt rented its a family property. So as long as im in my plant count my lady will let me get my grow on, no static. However, shes about to get her card so my count will double. Hellooooo outdoor crop! Haha.

Have leds in a seperate space right now, not being used. Going to deck it out to handle all small and seedling plants, then the lower area for the bigger plants as they grow. Im tryin man, trying to get the setup put together right.

Although i intended to use a scrog screen, i decided to hold off until next crop. But the canopy seemed to even out okay. I really need to get better at training my plants lol. My next crops training is embarrasing. So anyways. Ill post up flower pics at 35 or 36 days just to keep an eye on progress.

Thanks for tunin in. Let me know what you think of my first grow! Positivity and respect.

Alright guys, roundin the corner on finishing this grow up. Ive learned a ton, gone through issues, growroom rebuilds, some $ down the toilet and some precious experience. Day 62 and things are looking fresh.

Couple wides of the canopy. On the left (front) is ghost og #2 which was my defoliation experiment. I trimmed pretty much everything off shade leaves, left all nodes. The result was a very slow bounce back, even though it had been heavily defoliated throughout its life and supposedly that made her "used to it" shenanigans on THAT. However, the lower growth is waaaay more developed than the surrounding plants at the lower branches and "larf" areas. Very nice rock solid buds down low, where the others, in that same level, full on larf nothing buds. But fairly obviously the colas were smaller on ghost og #2 than both ghost #1 and #3 Heres a couple photos of her (ghost#2)

[gardnguyahoy]

Alright, and heres some of the ghost og

Im not planning on cutting for a few days, i fed compost tea, then herc harvest and aphrodites extraction for two feedings, now theyre receiving plain water. Having a lot of fun on this grow, glad i did my homework before i dove into this stuff. Hours and hours obsessing over details. Its all finally paying off as my first harvest approaches. Excited about tossing in my next crop, what im gonna flower next, getting my next batch ready is fkn exciting!

Ive read thread after thread about drying and curing.

Ive setup a drying space with perfect darkness. Temps at 70 cant seem to get them lower ... : ( ... Two hygrometer/therm in there testing drying space conditions. Trying to dial that in. Any suggestions on harvest drying curing? Like i said i read a ton, dj shorts stuff...bunch more. Etc. But any personal exp wouldnt hurt at all. Thanks in advance for feedback on my grow, and hopefully you stick around for harvest final weight and smoke report in the near future. Peace !

I started last night Taking a look at the thread, Your learning curve and the Learn as you go along with what you have read through Made all the difference. Very Well Done ! !
Sure you have read this " when you think its time to harvest DON'T.....
wait a few more days,
check your cream and amber trichomes.
worry less about the leaves 1/2 way through flower the lower ones
The Bottom ones, along with a few neer the bud sites will die off. So be it.
The consistent temperatures the PH and RH will be your best friend
and the last two weeks get yourself a Reptile UVB/UVA bulb
The Lil Single Bulb will pull out the CBG/CBA terrapins to the tops of the buds this will increase your THC level during the drying curing processes.
The DJ Shorts method of drying curing is a good practice and well documented here on the farm .
Im am sure you have read that.

Brother over all you rocked your Grow and if its mostly for sharing and personal stash I say IMHO its a Perfect set up ..
All ya need to do now is fine tune till its like second nature.
Great Work

I have read up on those, im gonna do my best to follow the advice, but truthfully im feelin like im gonna cut out the paper bag section. Unless you or someone else strongly suggests it. as far as cutting. Im waitiing til at least day 67. (Final 7 days of plain water flush) cant wait but...not gonna jump the gun at thia point. No way.

Im already gonna look into the cmh315 for my 400w ballast due to your insight. Try and beef up my bud sites before flower. But, I will 100 % research the lizard bulb and see how well it could fit with my room and my budget, i appreciate the insight, you're a pretty amazing cultivator, any and all advice is more than soaked in and taken seriously.

Thanks for the kind words dude, i have a tonnnnnn to learn still, but i do feel like i got a good grasp of the basics. Got lots of buds to grow and plenty o flowers to smell on the way. Thanks again for checkin out the grow, and leaving the positivity guys! Yew!

Snapped one more this morning before lights on : ) day 63

Positivity and respect

Looking good brother. Hard to believe it's your first grow lol everything will just get better and better as you grow on. Positive grow vibes peace.

 

[MGRox]

Dude. First grow FTW!!!

You know, it seems when a person starts off growin' you can give em' all the advice in the world or very little. Chances are, if they are gonna have success growing that first grow will do well regardless.
I have no concerns that you are / will be able to grow and do well as your first grow has all the signs; that you will have future success.

I used to run a lot of heavy equipment when I was younger. I always said that even when you get used to a piece of equipment and feel comfortable; you do not actually know how to fully run it until you've literally scared the shit out of yourself with some random near death happening. This final bit is the respect / knowledge that bad stuff can happen without warning and that you must be prepared / know how to deal with it.
With plants, a similar analogy can be applied. Once you've had a couple "near death" random situations; then you will be able to have some confidence that you "know how" to grow. Don't fear that bad things may (will) happen; embrace the wisdom that is gained from them.

With your plants this run; I noticed a "tiny" N+ that seemed to begin around day 31. You may possibly be able to lower the N after this point a tad (I.e. 5-10 ppm). I suppose it appears that only the chemdog possibly showed a tiny K- late into the bloom. Here again you may possibly raise the K a tad late in flower if you re-run that strain (i.e. 5-10 ppm). Fwiw, Neither of those are far enough out of whack to have any quantifiable reduction in final weight though.

Great run!
