Grow Journal First grow #1

[Inuart88]

So i start growing a little over a month ago i started with 4 seeds and last week i got my tent light and everything else. I also ended up getting 5 clones Fire OG Dr. Purp"3 leaf mutant" and Chernobyl. The clones have now been in my tent for 1 week and the seedlings for 1 month. i was finally able to get a steady humidity and temp after adding a fan and humidifier. They are coming along nicely!

Nine plants, cool. You'll have your hands full with that gang, but it sure will be fun. congrats.

Looks good - what size tent? Actually tell us everything - lights,soil, - pics are great, but we are nosy and need to know all.
PRIMO is right - cuz if those are all photos, you are going to get good at training.

They look great! I just had one question about the tall plant with the single-fingered leaves. Was it reverted back to the vegetative stage from the flowering stage? Every once in a while a plant grows like that naturally, but usually it's from re-vegging In any case, it'll grow out of it if soon. You have a beautiful garden!

We're gonna need a bigger boat.

Haha sorry just getting back on here. so from the top Fox farm:OF Fox farm the nute trio tiger bloom grow big and big bloom. a 4x4x7 with a 600watt mh/hps 440cfm inline fan pulling through the light. stupid window fan and humidifier to hold the humdidity between 50-60%. towards the bottom she has a few 3 leaves so i dont know about her!

Heres an update a week and a half into getting my clones and 1month for the seedlings they are growing fast! my fan inside my ballast broke"aka loose wire i can fix it easly for now i just have a box fan pointing at it and it stays extremely cool. also my hood came dented. Vivosun is sending me a new ballast and hood free of charge and letting me keep the old ones so im ordering two new bulbs this week so they show up at the same time... i basically get two lights for the price of 1. im planning on putting them both in my tent and just re doing my exhaust ducting. and insulating the hoods to keep temps down. "vivosun is an awesome company i fully recommend them there prices are decent also 165 for 600watt full setup and 200 for 1000watt. and there return/ repair policy is amazing!temps in tent are between 76-80 F the RH is between 55-60% just did a normal ph water today at 6.5. gotta transplant fog-small soon shes blowing up. besides all this its looking goood!

 

[Canuck147]

Indeed, looking very good. Keep us posted on this thread. I would try and get my ph down a bit, to around 6.0.

 

[Inuart88]

Yeah I will try that next watering is nutrients watering but I will lower it 6.0 I have not seen any problems at all at 6.5 though

 

[NebulaHaze]

Your plants look great! Is this the Vivosun 600W kit you're using? That is a really good price and it's nice for everyone to get personal recommendations!

 

[Inuart88]

Yes it is well by friday it will be two =D

New light and ballast came in today i did some custom stuff to the light heat shield duct wrap and new hooks to give me 3 extra inches on height!

 

[POKEDSMOT]

I'm running the vivosun 400w with fan tent and filter. I'm quite impressed with it. When my ballast came the MH wouldn't light but the HPS would. Thinking it was the bulb I contacted them and got a replacement the next day. It wasn't the bulb contacted them again and two days later new ballast and I get to keep the broken one. Excellent customer service. Now I need another tent for the all elusive perpetual harvest.

Week 2 for clones 6th week for seeds. I was looking into getting more bang for my buck and chose to go with lst over topping why cut off a healthy plant if u can bend it over and get the same result. I also transplanted fire og - medium. Into a two galling pot. Was going to transplant seedlings but store only had one gallons so I will wait a few more days. I spent between 3 and 4 hhours LST my 4 big plants. Also did some spring cleaning and took all of them out of the tent and vaccines. I think on the Chernobyl I got almost all branches but bottom two bent up . Almost went through a whole roll of soft ties to get my flat canopy. But I think it was definatly worth it. 2 more weeks till I flip the switch

Update on my first grow! I did clones yesterday finally been waiting to use my turbo kloner. I got ten cut my question is do u guys clean up bottom growth and just have the tops or is the bottom nodes fine? also i added 1ml of Rapid start per gallon took two gallons is that okay. The kloner has a good temperature its not over heating and the clones have turned up towards the light so i suppose thats good. After cutting the clones i cleaned up the bottom growth on all my big girls. and gave them a hair cut i had close to a handful of smashed up leaves removed quite a few but they seem to have love it especially dr.purp shes blowing up.! i started to add cal-mag to my regiment and transplanted my seedlings into two gallons.I used FFOF and happy frog mixed 1/1 ratio to keep ph more lower than ffof high ph. Grow guy gave me that idea( im not sure how people get transplant shock. mine take off every time i do it!) Also bent Chernobyl the front plant over a little more and taped the bend spot for some support trying to get the canopy a little more evened out. Also got some great white to add to my seedlings and clones in a week or so. i think im going to try to take 4 out of the 5 big ones in to flower the smaller one in the back left middle. in another week and a few days i think will be ready. i thinking im going to get some good budding. Chernobyl had mag deficiency when i got her so adding cal mag should help some. all my clones the 5 i got where all sad looking when i got them almost 3 weeks ago.. What do you guys think about my grow
