Time to show your grow.

[OverMedicated]

Could've never achieved results like this if it wasn't for you guys. I have learned so much in the last few months it is staggering. You explain things so well even I get it!

 

[OverMedicated]

Wow! Who taught you? Those are incredible.

 

[OverMedicated]

Whoa! Trippy...

 

[Rwise]

Is there a purpose to exposing the roots like that?

When to fertilize?
I've never reused soil before but the nursery I buy my organic mix from is closed for the season. I bought a generic soil-rebuilder from Walmart and mixed one part of it to four parts of soil. 20 days in and I haven't given any nutes yet. The rebuilder had tiny amounts like point-something or point-zero-something. (I wish I could remember.) I've not enough experience to know but I think the little girl is looking good and I hope to keep her that way.

I've never used pre-fertalized soil before but I'm thinking that since I'm not watering the whole bag yet that there still are nutes in much of the soil... At some point I expect to do a flush to get to a known point but it doesn't look (to me) like she needs messing with yet.

Thank you. I guess this thread and shroomery members helped me along the way, I've bought couple books, research research research. Trail and error. I still mess up but I've learned a lot and always have some dank buds.

Congratulations OverMedicated everything you one up yourself on is a win, a learn and that's the goal.

Been taking tops

cant you tell

Not the ideal time for me, this plant has yellowing and die off so instead of the bud rot risk iv turned down the Rh and started chopping in stages. Bud I cut smoked like 1994 last week so good to go.

Shots of the night.

You are absolutely going to be loving those babies....and nice size too.
If you don't mind me asking what was your RH prior and what us the final....and pH please.
I'm planning on lowering mine 1% each week for the next 5 weeks. Currently averaging 51% here with swings of 47 to 55 but only brief on the peak and trough. I've already started nute burn minor but cannot adjust my mix fir the next few days.
EDIT. What's the white thing sitting in the bottom of your tub top pic?

 

[Bluey]

I just love this pic...zoom right in. It's my cleaners phone, she takes pics fir me and sends em..taken this morning

On my third my third grow. Photoperiods planted December 30. Pics from 3 weeks ago. Chocolate mint pics after defoliation and right before flip to flower. Chocolate Mint will be defoliated again at about 21 days of flowering. Plan on defoliating and flipping the unknown genetics plant to flower in a few days (2 plants).
The last picture is from today. These plants (Chocolate mint) are in a 3'x4' tent that usually has a wall to create separate 3x3 and 1x3 spaces. I was not expecting a 100% success rate for my first clones, but all 6 made it and are all thriving so I opened up the area and I am using the entire 3x4 area to flower, but my light spread is not sufficient. You can see in the last picture the plants on the right are not getting enough light. I am considering making a hanging fixture for some CFLs by drilling some holes in a board for some lamp sockets, then use some Y sockets to double the bulbs. As I am new to growing I wanted to ask for advice before doing that. Ideally I would also use this light in the 1x3 area for seedlings and small veg plants in the future.
Questions:
If I do build a fixture as described, how many lamp sockets should I use across this 1x3 foot area?
Any other suggestions to light this area?

Thanks for all I have learned from this community just by reading about other peoples issues.

Super healthy looking plants!

 

[Bluey]

Yes. They are looking good and yes you will run out of space too. Flip quickly unless you have another grow area. I don't know about CFL for growing sorry.

 

[Rwise]

By the time you get enuf CFLs above them, with the work and costs, a cheap LED is not much more. Also CFLs make a lot of heat, not so good in hot weather.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Buy a LED cheaper and better coverage less heat better spectrum. Now if you want further help create a different post this is a show off your plant thread. Good luck

 

[Blowdout2269]

Lookin good!
Don't forget...a great grow can go to shit with an improper dry/cure. Some say that when you take em down, only half the work is done! 😉

Freebie from Mephisto.( Walter white x forum stomper) x forum stomper. I call it white cookies. Hey another cookie strain that's picky af. Still purdy. Heavy fruit terps.

Day 20 flower
The stretch is finished...grew 2 inches this week. 34" from lights. Showing less light stress now. Tiny amount of nute burn..negligible.

Edit. Pic of Mag def above, pic of Cal def below

 

[golfnrl]

Excellent! Those are good looking healthy plants. I'm intrigued by your focus on the lights and nutrients. My goal is to learn how to produce the best weed w/o the light and nute burn. The light is easier to deal with than the nutes. I missed the mark this grow with the nutes but learned a little so maybe next time we'll have some weed with no burnt leaf tips. Your light is 34" above the canopy? Did you move it there after the stretch or during?

 

[Bluey]

On closer inspection I have a calcium deficiency on one and a magnesium deficiency in another..the two sativas in the front are fine....raised the pH from 6.15 to 6.23....see what happens..nutes just under 85% the joys of different strains...I went to about 100% on the lights 1st few days of flower and had to go to 36"..I was lower than that but dimmed in veg...the plants stretched fast and far and I couldn't keep raise the lights until after 4 or 5 days....they were stressed...not so bad now although a few of the very tallest buds still showing a bit of stress....to get my lights higher now is hard work
