New Sativa Grower

[Dr Bombay]

Hello!!! Thank you for the great pics! That helps me understand what's to come and the outcome l should be looking for. I think this is one of those cases where ignorance is zamal bliss. So the colas can get that big... Wow. Tying those up must be fun. You can see l kinda messed up the topping part. Notwithstanding, they have bounced back from the late transplant. Still trying to follow along with you grow. I look at the Malawi and think 4 of those in one tent!! Crazy town...

I will get that second scrog. I know that after this grow l will have learned lots. Thank you again for all your time and attention. I really just want to have an everything is purple moment.

Day 20ish

Looking good. Continue to train the tops, attempting to fil lall the spaces in the screen, whilst keeping all the tops at the same height.

 

[Dr Bombay]

Thank you. Indeed. They seem to be growing slightly slower(?). Raised the light by 5". Mostly to ensure no light burn. I am curious to see how much more they will grow.

 

[Dr Bombay]

Still developing...

Still developing...

Nice budding flower! Beautiful Nice color on the leaves it looks like and no burnt tips, very good. From what I hear about that Golden Tiger you'll be having a kaleidoscope moment, many of them

 

[exploziv]

Looks good, soon stretch will be over and you'll have some great buds!

 

[Dr Bombay]

Thank you both. It does not seem like they are stretching as much. I believe the older burnt tips were from the transplant and the 'hot' soil. I read that light can do that also. I keep monitoring and have not added any other nutes since that transplant. I am excited to keep them growing and see what they look like. I have 36" from light and light is at 75 percent. Hopefully that will be enough.

 

[exploziv]

Wow mate 36 inch is too far away in my book. You'd get better efficiency by putting them closer and dimming them down. That's the beauty of dimmed led panels.. you should be able to go to half that distance with no problems, even without dimming down. Just do it gradually since they are used to this low intensity for now. Burnt leaf tips are not from too much light. Especially not at 36 inches distance.

 

[Dr Bombay]

Thank you for recommending explosive. I will try that. Gradually... It's a new light. I had it at 75 percent and 10 inches lower than it is at.

I will admit to some flailing and second quessing. This grow will take my understanding to the next level across the board. I'm already thinking about next grow!

And then there is cloning lol! I digress. Would anyone care to share what they look at trichomes with? I'm thinking a 30x-60x jewellers loupe.

Thank you again.

 

[exploziv]

20 to 40 x jewlers loupe or pocket microscope with integrated light is best.

 

[Hombre del mont]

x30 is fine. Get one with a built in light; it helps.

 

[Dr Bombay]

Thank you both again! I will order that loupe with light

I've just had a look. Wow, How times have changed!. I didn't know such thing's existed, awesome, i'm ordering one for myself.

Dr Bombay, don't listen to anything i say. I'm a old man living in the moutainss and have no uderstanding of the modern world.

Looking lush Dr Bombay...nice clean room, beautifully grown plants...for your first dive into sativa growing your doing really great...they look a real treat....I look forwards to seeing these again in a few weeks...your room will be a beautiful sight to see. Well done

 

[Dr Bombay]

Thank you for the kind words Darkstorm. It's only because of the great assistance l am receiving from here and watching a master. I am super grateful...

Hombre that's funny as all get out! Let's hear it for us old men!!! Also, l have heard that the internet is on computers now. I'm going to check that out.

Chronosync, l will check that out right away! Looks very handy. Thank you as always. Just putting an order in for the new scrog.

exploziv, l lowered the light to 24 inches. Seems fine so far. I know light efficiency is important to understand. As much as l research there is always more and more about less and less.

Thank you all again. Very much appreciated.

 

[Dr Bombay]

Hello! One plant had 3 leaves with these small copper coloured spots. I diagnosed calcium def. So l used 15ml cal mag in 2 gallons of water. I also added 2 tblsp of molasses to 6.44 PH water. Adjusted PH after amendments. What think ye? Not on other 3 plants. Never used cal mag (and l quess l could have used epsom salts). Have it to all plants.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
