First Grow Cherry Cookies bag seed

[D.A.A.S.69]

I was thinking you lived in Arkansas, you need to be transplanting before long.

 

[Arkados]

I was thinking of transplanting on Tuesday since that’s when I plan to hit up my local hydro shop and get some 2 gal grow bags. I have my final containers which are 5 gal root bags as i was going to transplant straight into 5 gal but then that wouldn’t be wise of me and Id Probably over water so instead ill transplant into 2gal then 5 gal. Think I’ll be okay in the cups until Tuesday ?

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Oh yeah, you should be fine to wait till then.
I used to use Wal-Mart water that was carbon filtered it worked great.

 

[Arkados]

Update: I started feeding general organic line nutes at 1/4 str on 1/29 so a bit earlier than planned but I was eager.
​​​​​
2/1 - i transplanted the babies into 3 gal pots and fed nutes again but at full str. I’ve been reading that with the GO line it’s feed every watering. Only 5 are being kept in 3 gal the two slow growth I will be flowering early in smaller pots probably 1 gal

Looking good. What kind of light?

 

[Arkados]

I had to throw them under a 1000w MH but have it set at 40 percent so at 400w I believe. I didn’t want to but my t5 is only a 4’ 4 bulb not big enough so I must pay 😩

 

[Arkados]

I need some assistance, i am currently running a MH dialed down to 400w. I really wanted to get a new light for vegging but I’m going to hold off as I can now feel the heat and humidity so I may aswell tackle this now. Can someone suggest a setup for an air cooled hood , I’m not going to run c02 yet.

I was thinking of running ducting from outside the tent to a 6” in-line blowing air into the air cooled hood and ducting out the other side keeping the air being blown over the lights out of the tent. Then just have another in-line inside the tent blowing air into the carbon filter and ducting out the top essentially sucking air out of the tent.For something like I mentioned do I need to have an Active air intake or can I just leave a vent flap open and it’ll suck air in through there? I don’t want my tent to collapse lol any help is welcomed.

Im in a
4’x4’x 6.5’ grow tent
Im vegging at 400 but want to flower at 600w
my hood has a glass cover

I don’t have a carbon filter, my basement can stink all it wants I run a 6” in line fan outside my tent that is connected through ducting to my tube sucking the air and the other end is open. Have one 6” passive intake with a piece of carbon filter on it. I have negative pressure but the tent isn’t in risk of collapsing. I am thinking of adding a second passive intake. Temps never get above 77 at canopy level. 4x4x6.5 600w mh/hps. If you wanted to add a carbon filter just attach through ducting on other end of tube.

Definitely exhaust from your light out. I don't have an inline fan blowing air in just a box fan blowing air into the tent. And an oscillating fan inside to circulate air. I could see if it was really hot but not necessary with that wattage. Filters are a good idea but unless it's super hot you don't need an extra inline fan. My temps are around 80 with 5x7x7 1000 watt and 4 inch exhaust. Leaving my six inch intake open. Going to get another fan for the inside to get better circulation but summer isn't here yet and don't know if I'll have to cool it down that much for another inline. If heat is a problem where you live then a portable AC might be a better option to keep temps down. Another inline would just blow in warm air wasting electricity.

 

[Arkados]

Chefbjy Eventually I want to run 1000 , I’m in Cali, so for sure, during summer months I’ll have to run ac then I’ll have to figure out how to run 1k hps and a portable ac with out throwing the breaker but that’s for another grow. I definitely want to exhaust the from the lights. Thanks !

 

[Arkados]

I have my set up in a garage and surrounded by neighbors lol. Good to hear I should be okay with a passive intake. I may just do what your doing up until flower then worry about the smell. I honestly don’t feel like spending cash on ducting ,in-line fans or a carbon filter but I know it is inevitable for me. Thanks !!

 

[Arkados]

Update:
There’s been several changes to my grow room, I should now be able to complete a grow through harvest with no smell, all I need is a ph pen. I want to upgrade my ventilation further but for now I have ducting connected to an in-line fan pulling air through the air cooled hood and out of the tent. I now have a 6” carbon filter that I will be exhausting from during flowering.I also bought pure neem oil, DE food grade, yellow fly traps, great white mycos, an 8” non oscillating fan for circulation. I will now focus on getting a veg tent to fit my 4ft 4 bulb T5 and some additional organic derived nutrients to add to my arsenal.

My friend gave me 4 master kush plants thet are ready to be flowered I will practice taking clones but the main thing is that I need to transplant ASAP they’re rootbound and fed with synth nutes that I don’t have. I will start another thread for these as I may need help.
I have moved 4 of my Cherry Cookie babies under the t5 on a table in the garage exposed I’m not worried though, 2 smaller ones under the makeshift cfl light and 1 with the 4 Og Master kush plants.

In the pics The powdery stuff is DE that I heavily sprinkled as a dressing the day after feeding just Incase fungus gnats come out.

 

[Jibblerjoe]

Coming together for you. Looking good.

 

[Arkados]

Thanks ! I’ve been learning a lot from everyone and their grows. I hope I can see the master kush to harvest , though I am excited about the Cherry Cookies as they are more fragrant.

 

[D.A.A.S.69]

Looking nice Arkados, pretty.

 

[Arkados]

I topped two of the cherry Cookies to start forming the base for the manifold and took some clones. The rest of the cherry Cookies are looking good . I’ve been feeding with every watering now at full strength with GO nutes with very little runoff. i also added blackstrap molasses and great white to my feeding. I’m going to lay off of the feeding and start alternating with water. If anyone has any advice on feeding/watering with GO box nutrients please feel free to chime in.

The clone taken from the top , if I were to let it grow to 6 nodes and top to 3 like building a manifold base, will that clone be symmetrical ? It seems as if though it should . It make sense aslong as it’s taken from the top and not a side shoot or leaf. I know at one point symmetry is lost but is there a way to keep it in clones ?

 

[Arkados]

Thank you

I know I'm a little late to the game here. but if it was pollinated by a male, you're going to have a more stress free grow than a hermaphrodite. If it was pollinated by a herm, it'll more than likely show herm traits later in flower. Then you'll have seeded bud just the same as the bag, or a nightmare of plucking bananas all through flower. If it was a male, the seeds will be a lot better to grow. Look into "hybrid vigor".

 

[Arkados]

I had thought about it and I wouldn’t mind if it was pollinated by a male then I can learn how to sex a plant , I have to keep an eye out since I don’t know how the pollination happened I preferred pollinated by a hermi because i thought that would yield feminized seed.

I read something somewhere regarding preserving the stability of the plant genetics using male pollen to cross strains I don’t know if it’s the same but I’ll check it out for sure I like to learn. I do plan to start making my own fem seeds of every strain i come in contact with as it seems the way to go for me than to have to be buying seeds of the same strain from a seed bank.

Please help clear this up for me. Femenised seeds are created with female pollen and those can hermie as well even the ones we buy from seed banks though they take extra precaution to keep their gentics true when crossing.
Lets say there are two clones of the same hearty mother. One is hit with colloidal silver and forced to produce pollen sacks the other is stressed forced to produce pollen sacks. Is the genetics in the pollen different ?
A plant that hermies becuase of high stress and pollinates itself because of stress or self preservation passes down bad genes ? Or is it only hermie banana plants that pass down bad genes ? ( that seems like a bad genetic trait to me lol)

Your insight is welcomed and everyone else’s insight aswell I want to clear misconceptions I have. Thx !!

Don’t know if this is something but it looks like it may be turning into something. Yellowing around the veins and darker in the middle on both vertical fan leaves; it looks a tad bit like a grid to me. The other leaves underneath are fine. The new growth coming in looks neon too I don’t remember new growth looking so bright .
Since I’ve been feeding with every watering it may be that , I doubt it’s ph as I’ve been using the same RO water, no other plants are exhibiting the yellow leaves .
