COCO COIR New grower grow blog

[MrMotion]

Thanks! I'm really enjoying growing these plants!

 

[MrMotion]

Well guys, I think im out of room haha.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

What about that 4th plant LOL yep

 

[MrMotion]

Yeah haha, 4 would have been overkill. I guess with 4 I could have done the switch a lot earlier.. idk

Great photos thanks for sharing. How much water do you feed and how often?

 

[MrMotion]

I water them till it get decent run off our the bottom and lately every 2 days, before it was ever 3 or so, but now they suck the water up pretty fast. Im transitioning them to flower today, ill have a good update later on.

 

[Lolabird]

Awesome good luck with the switch!

 

[MrMotion]

So it begins. Did some defoliation. Moved to a new grow shed. Switched to the HPS and 12/12.

 

[MrMotion]

That flower stretch is LEGIT. If you look at the middle wood braces you can see the growth, its been all of 4 days. I havent been able to get my AC hooked up yet, temperature and humidity are all over the place. I work 12+ hr shifts, tomorrow is the first day off so ill see what I can do.

 

[Lolabird]

awesome pics and progress. How long was your veg period?

 

[MrMotion]

54 days from seed to the switch, i would have switched them earlier though, but the new location wasn't set up yet.

Looking great, you can very gently bend some branches outwards, like if you were trying to comb over you hair with your hands but over the branches, do this every day and they will lean a little bit and the lower buds will grow more

Update on the outdoor plant, she's doing well.

 

[MrMotion]

Thought I'd throw this in here, made this to show my buddy how much they've stretched since the switch, exactly 1 week.

You posted this on reddit/microgrewery?

 

[MrMotion]

I haven't no, I can though, I follow microgrowery on reddit.

 

[9fingerleafs]

I thought I saw it on reddit but I must be tripping because I visit both sites very often. What a great stretch my friend

 

[MrMotion]

I posted it after you said something. I text my friend photos of the grow and he's an avid follower on reddit too so he might have thrown something up.

So, I can't recall how much I talked about it before, and turns out I'm to tired (lazy) to go back and read my previous posts, so ill break it down fast. Had a shed collecting dust in the backwoods on my land, moved it up front, cleaned her up nice, out the grow tent in it. Future plan is to create a grow SHED haha. Its 9.5 ft by 7.5ft or so.

Anyway. Temps last work week got too high (low to mid 90s at one point), my air conditioner didn't make the initial move. Shed had a bunch of areas that needed sealed up, plus its a decent bit of cutting and fab work and my wife insisted there was other more important tasks to be done.

So this afternoon/evening I was able to seal up 98% of the shed (doors are tricky) and get the AC installed and hooked up to my program. Plus the girls needed watered and my fan needed moved (ill post tomorrow about that, try not to clog this up too bad)

End result. (You can see my garden and my adorable tobacoo plants through the cutout haha)

Pistils showed up last night. Also, this is a pic of a leaf that was getting directly blown on by the fan (I had it sitting on the ground pointed up at an angle blowing from the bottom up). I had the fan on full power in order to get enough air movement, a hand full of leaves that were in the air path of the pretty heavy air flow look like this. Crispy to the touch. Seem normal to you guys? Everything else looks great
