My first post and my first grow!

[NickyChicks]

Another week in the books, starting week 7 of flower and hoping for another week of buds fattening and trichomes popping up. It's possible it's in my head but I'm pretty certain I've already seen a noticeable change in the appearance of my buds since using the UVB. Today would be day 4 of using it and I can say for sure that I've noticed darkening of pistils, especially on the chocolate kush and the white widow plants. The widow widow plants have been superstars during flowering and they are looking mighty fine. Lots of trics and nice round buds. I took a few pics right after the lights went out the other night. It's amazing how nice the plants actually look without the yellow HPS light beaming on them. The order they uploaded in, completely random. Happy Monday everyone, stay safe!

Yep, that looks just like mine. 😉 mine was worse... a nightmare

NickyChicks The symmetry in your hanging them looks too perfect.... I’d have thought otherwise. I have them, they mount onto the hood and then the fluorescent fixture... one on each side and are adjustable... but, I used ratchets as well. They were already hanging and in the nightmare of pre-existing ‘stuff’, I just let them hang.

[NickyChicks]

I added a pic of how it's hung. I'm sure you really didn't need to see it to understand but there it is anyways

[NickyChicks]

Farmall nope just some ratcheting rope hangers. I had some extra ones and they seem to be ok for everything else I've hung inside the tent. I'm going to try and look into what you're talking about, might be useful for my future grows

Hey NickyChicks I like that setup... are you using the metal brackets they sell for attaching the fixture to the hood of your main lighting? I got a pair on eBay ...if I remember $32.00 for 2?

[NickyChicks]

😂😂 that's not what I was going for but I think that's a bonus!

How interesting at least you'd be sterile LOL

UVB bulbs from Solacure arrived today, super quick shipping. $25/ea if you buy 4 or more. Hopefully I see some good results. I snuck a quick pic before I got out of the tent, don't want to be exposed to it too much or at all for that matter.

Awesome! The bloody Skunk piqued my interest because of the red poison in it's lineage. I saw mcubed's red poison plant and was all like ooooh ahhhhhhh. I have some gelato that I'm smoking right now, just from my usual guy and it's quite delicious. Danky smell.

NickyChicks yep... the Bluberry feminized , Dutch Passion Cheese and the Gelato.... ranked in that order ....did them in soil and in hydro as my first rodeo. And it was a wild ride for a dried total in 9 plants of 3.6 lbs. so, ENJOY!!!!

Start of week 6 flowering. Nothing new this week just more buds! Did some thinning out , mostly the bushy green crack in the center of the tent. Also tied down the branches to space them out also to keep the plants from tipping, a couple are get a little tipsy.

Ordered UVB t8s from Solacure today. Hopefully those show up quick but i won't hold my breath. I would like to put them to use on this grow even if it may be a little late, but I shall see.

I posted a few weeks back on this thread that I ordered auto seeds. Well I ordered more. Variety is the spice of life right?? 25 seeds for $111 shipped, 10 of those seeds were free either from seedsman for spending x amount of $$ or they were on promo from the breeder. Let me know if you you've ever grown any of these from my new order, and/or feel free look back at my update when I posted the pic of my last seed order.

Hope everyone is doing good during these crazy times. Stay physically healthy and just as important, mentally healthy. Pet your dog, they don't know what's going on. Mine usually goes to doggy daycare 5 days a week for almost 10hrs a day. He definitely misses his friends and my girlfriend and I are both "essential employees" so he hangs out with my girlfriends son all day. He loves his walks and he's getting extra now but he misses his friends at daycare. Stay healthy everyone 🙏

Day 43 of 12/12. I think I over did it with the nutes last week, nothing major but I was going too heavy with the Floralicious plus. I cut back a lot on the water change I did this morning. The plants were all dark green and the GC in the center had some nitrogen claw going on. Idk how I messed up the measurements on it but I was giving full strength to all the plants and full strength + another half to the GC. The F+ is high in N which is probably why I'm seeing what I'm seeing! Other than that, all is good. Hoping to see the buds start bulking up from here on out.

The white widow smells amazing, Alaskan purples in the solo cups smell even better IMO. The smaller one growing in coco has leaves starting to show purple, I think she's gonna be a good looking little plant. It was sunny but cold yesterday so I took pics of the solo girls outside, today I took the Northern Lights and the Green Crack from the center out and brought them upstairs to try and get a decent picture in natural light. It's not sunny today like yesterday, no today it decided to snow. So the pics aren't as nice I wanted but they still look great to me.

Also my Grove Bags came in, I ordered the case of 50 1oz pouches. I'm excited to give them a go and see if they're all they're cracked up to be.

Whew!, nice news in a way. Since our families are not nearby, never visit and our 2 extra bedrooms have been turned into non-bedrooms, we don’t see anyone

[NickyChicks]

Your memory serves you right. However I lucked out and there is no worries of a time constraint now, well not really. I actually just found out today I will have some family visiting but not until mid September. I should have enough time to try my hand at growing a few autos after this and harvest those before September. As long as these girls finish up within a reasonable amount of time.
