My First Grow Journal...EVER! 600W MH/HPS Bubbleponics Cabinet Grow

[ellz]

Side note on my reservoir...the front right plant (looking from the front of the cabinet) is dropping down into the reservoir. I have it pushed back up for the most part but there is a small gap that I couldn't get it to go into. Does anyone think the light bleed in that gap will hurt things? I could try covering it with something but the canopy is doing that too.

08:00PM: Finally caught back up after the site outage. Today I adjusted the larger colas because they were leaning against the sides pretty bad so I wanted to get light (and air) all around them. I added more of my magnet hooks (I love these things!) and tied off several stalks and colas. There is literally growth EVERYWHERE! It's awesome! I am guessing I might just end up with my goal weight of 8 ounces from both plants! Only time will tell but the larger colas are really big! You can't tell from the photos but the left and right large ones are over a foot long and about as wide as a 1 liter bottle in places!

The following photos are from 10/02/2017 to 10/04/2017. Other than adding pHed, HydroGuard water every couple of days and feeding week 10's schedule the past 3 feedings, not much else to update. I did add a bunch of 9lb. magnet hooks all over the case to tie my plants to. Seems to work great! Last added more water on 10/04.

10/01/2017: The top growth of the plants is touching the glass on the light. The bud sites are pretty small, very under-developed but they have a lot of trichomes so I am just going to cut them and take my losses before I lose them due to light burn. Plus, the light is being blocked to the rest of the grow cabinet so there is too much shading from this growth. You will see in the photos below before and after cutting as well as how they look trimmed and drying. I had to do this earlier on as well while the site was down but those were REALLy underdeveloped. I am attempting to cure them now but I doubt they will be worth much more than a cough or two. Plus, it's barely a gram or 2 dried. The cuttings in the photo below are more like 3 or 4 grams total.

The following photos are from 09/30/2017 through 10/01/2017.

Basically all I have is photos. I don't have shit to update beyond that because I didn't write it down! I was using this as my grow journal and the site crashed. Beginner mistake on my part.

Daskahn...it's a private blog right now until I finish it but the link is: https://theherbcultivator.wordpress.com/
I am going to try to keep this grow journal going out of convenience but I was really pissed about missing a month of updates so I am still steaming.

Hey can I have a link to your blog.. I've been out of reading material since before the cane... and well I've went nuts lol

[alltatup]

Good luck with your blog.

[ellz]

Kinda defeats the purpose of the forum then but yeah....I did that after this bullshit started.

[alltatup]

Keep a hand-written journal.

HOLY SHIT WE ARE FINALLY BACK UP AND RUNNING! SWEET! I am not even going to start now on my shit....since it's been almost a month! Instead, I will be backing up everything I have done and posting it to my own blog. This can't happen again! I needed my info and this site let me down BIG TIME!

11:30PM: Added 4 gallons of pHed, HydroGuard water to the reservoir. I adjusted the magnets a bit so the main stalks are pulled away from the light but there is still a lot of light burn going on. Lesson learned: Don't let the plants get too tall in a controlled space! Apart from the leaf and bud burn from the light, the rest of the plant is growing nicely. The bud sites are frosting up and expanding so that is a good thing! Below is a pic of the overall look today and a shot of the leaf damage due to the light burn. Thanks for reading.

I am considering cutting off the burnt ends and toking them! LOL!
