Moby Dick homemade growbox (First Grow)

Wait, then when you think you have waited long enough, wait 3 more days 😁

Those solar panels are really busy

Great job

I'm speechless. They are so strong!! If it were me, I'd get the vinegar and olive oil out and make a salad!! ;-}

Everybody says wait. I say wait until the next feeding. I have a hard time looking at my bushy plants without my scissors in my hand. I follow a certain growers advice and trim leaves after feeding.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Thank you all for the comments. I will wait. Lol. And Canuck I totally understand. So much green. Smells dank as f##k. I open my box and it rounds the house in darkness. Lol. I am planning on jarring most of this and cure it for several months. Hope I get alot.

Also found my missing seeds of this strain. Sooo stoked. I have 12 more of these girls.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Per defol, is it true the less budsites you leave after defoliation,(cutting smaller budsites and stems), the bigger and better your buds get and increased harvest weight? It seems like reverse to me...

 

[Canuck147]

You don't want to cut any bud sites. Pull branches away from each other, don't cut them.

 

[Sallisawjim]

That's how I feel about it Canuck, there are just so damn many. Lol. Not saying it's a bad thing but I might have to alter mygrowbox. I didnt anticipate this much growth!!!

 

[Canuck147]

Alter your grow - start bending them over - if you can, if there's room.

I have been tying everything I can down and back out of the way for other budsites to get more light. I have a few that dont look like they will make it to the top but they change daily. Everything inside those canopies is alive and moving. I can tie one back and another takes its place the next day. Alot od training going on here. I am getting a scrog setup built to fit and am going to mount it Saturday with my solution change. I do have to say all of the growth looks pretty healthy with a couple small exceptions. Hopefully a scrog helps me tame these jungles I have going on. Super excited...😎

 

[Sallisawjim]

Well here are their new pics. They finally have enough length for me to tie them back. Opened up the middle considerably. They are happy. Eating alot. The PH keeps dropping and the EC keeps dropping. This week I had to add a gallon every other day. These girls are Thirsty. They are at almost 14 inches. Ec is 1.568 and ph set at 6.01.nutes are at 75% and they seem to want more.Happy Daddy here. Lol🧞‍♂️👨‍👧‍👧😁😎😀😉🤗

 

[alltatup]

They look absolutely amazing, SSJ!!! They are so alive!!!!!! Congrats, happy daddy!!!!

 

[Sallisawjim]

Thank you Alltatup. I really appriciate the comments. I am going to net them up tonight or tomorrow. Get the ol scrog going.

 

[Sallisawjim]

Well trellis is up please dont judge too hard. Lol. First time and I made it from scratch. Just a simple net and I stapled it to the studs. I can really see all of the budsites now. I will defol them this weekend. They have gotten massive since Saturday. That's only 3 days. They have pretty much filled up the bottom of my growbox. Stunned...😁

 

[Sallisawjim]

Not alot of change. No flowers yet 🤔. But it will happen in due time👍.

These girls are 15 days on 12/12. I have been careful and diligent with light dark restrictions so no chance of light leak 100% guaranteed. I know vegitation is thick and growing like hell and worries me a little, but it looks like they have stopped growing new leaves and are just energizing the newest growth. I just dont see the tiny baby leaves as much underneath anymore. I did a heavy defol last week because of moisture on some leaves due to how thick they are but am new and hesitant to take many more leaves when I finally start seeing stretch(which I have yet to see to date) My reason for the trellis.

Dinafem says 60 to 70 days. Hope those numbers are correct. Would like to see a harvest the beginning of Febuary.

These girls are drinking a gallon of water a day and my ppm drops about 30 to 35ppm a day. Yesterday it was 864 today it was 829 ppm
ph drops about .6 to .9 daily too. Have to use ph up to keep ph st 6(ish) I like to tend them though so that's not a problem. So they are doing things for sure... Definately like to do things at their own pace. That's for sure.

 

[alltatup]

They look amazing. So you're over 2 weeks into 12/12 and there's no stretch yet? That seems strange... I wonder why. What light do you have them under?

At the very least, you may want to "lollypop" them down below, when they stretch enough to give you room?https://www.growweedeasy.com/lollipopping-cannabis-tutorial

Alltatup, here is a pic of my light.

What a nice light you got there, I wish I could afford something like this, I can’t wait to see the buds you’ll produce with it

 

[Budler]

Why did you choose that light? For first look I was like yeeee huge led. 600real w, then I checked the price and those specs... I’m so curious how this light will do for the entire grow.
