organic420 1000w LST Grow

[organic420]

looking really good. that's a nice and big space to have available. do your plants only occupy 1/2 of that 4'x8' space with one light? if so, i'd recommend adding a removable wall of mylar to reflect from the one side. are you planning on up-potting those before switching to 12/12?

if it were me, i'd have invested in a bigger carbon filter, especially if you're that concerned with the smell. FYI, manufactured ones are packed on a vibrating table so there are smaller pores and more contact area.

Yes, my plants currently only occupy about half the space with one 1kw light at the "moment." This current grow was only to get everything in tune since I haven't grown in about 5 years and I was waiting for my Snow White and Chrystal seeds to arrive. I am currently growing some DP BB and WW as well as some various seeds I had sitting around for about 5-6 years. I switched over to 12/12 4 days ago and will not be transplanting at all, half are in 3 gallon pots and half are in 2 gallon pots. I plan to add another light or a light rail for the next grow to cover all 8'. I have an extra 1kw sitting here not in use.

Oh trust me, my carbon filter is overkill for my size room. My carbon filter is 8" round and is 24" long packed and vibrated while filling with virgin activated carbon. My grow room stinks really bad inside but can't smell a single thing anywere outside the room. The filter is hooked up to a 6" 424CFM inline blower. The smell coming out of the filter smells like nothing but air, no odor at all. I know it is working great because I came home one day last week from work and the entire house stunk as soon as I opened the front door. Since the filter was hooked up I can't smell anything until I walk into the grow room.

Here's some shots I just took. They have stretched crazy overnight. They really liked that watering last night. They have pretty much filled in the entire canopy and are all even.

Hello Everyone,

Here are some pics at Day 9 Flower. The Sativas have really stretched, white hair clusters are everywhere. I waterd them tonight with Molasses.

I watered last night with Blackstrap Molasses and these things exploded overnight. I just got done checking on them for the first time today and there are a ton more white hairs then yesterday. Everything looks healthy and great! I'm just trying to decide how I am going to tie these Sativas down since they are a good 6" taller than the rest of the canopy. I tie them down and they explode above everything else.

Thanks for stopping by

Thanks for stopping by Von.

I have FloraNova Bloom for the 7 in 3 gallon pots but have not given them any yet. I gave them FloraNova Grow the first week of flowering and have only given all the plants straight water and molassess ever since which they loved. I have Neptune's Harvest Seaweed Fetilizer for the 6 in 2 gallon pots as well.

Do you think I will hurt my yield if I only give the 7 in 3 gallon pots molasses and Seaweed fertilizer or should I stick to the original plan of giving them FloraNova Bloom? The 6 in 2 gallon pots will not receive FloraNova Bloom at all, they are a strictly 100% organic grow. I want to see which ones do better and will then use the best soil/fert combination from here on out. I am second guessing my original plan since they have all reacted so well to the molasses. I don't want airy buds either so I want some expert advice.

Your thoughts?

Well my man if you had a plan and wanted to see the out come.....stick with it. I have done the same through good and bad. I kept the good and nixed the bad. That is the only way to figure it out.

Plants look wonderful and happy.

Thanks Von. You are 100% right. I had a plan and have followed it up to this point so I should just keep going with it. I will feed the 7 in 3 gallon pots with their first dose of FloraNova Bloom next watering. I will continue to only use Water, Molasses and Seaweed Fertilizer on the 5 in 2 gallon pots as planned since they have dry organic ferts already mixed into the soil. The winning soil/fert mix will be used for my next Snow White and Chrystal grow starting in about a month or less.

http://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=6220&pictureid=114008 Hello Everyone,

Here are some pics at Day 14 Flower. They have pretty much stopped stretching finally and the white hairs are exploding in bunches everywhere. They will get their first bloom feeding with Seaweed Fertilizer for the 2 gallon pots and FloraNova Bloom for the 3 gallon pots tomorrow. They have only been fed water and molasses since being switched over. No smell issues outside the room with the homemade scrubber which is awesome. Inside the room is another story

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by

how do you water your plants ? hand watering ?

 

[organic420]

Yes, I hand water directly into the soil.

 

[buddin_904]

wow NICE CANOPY!

 

[organic420]

wow NICE CANOPY!

Thanks Buddin_904!! The Sativas in the back really shot up above the even canopy and there isn't much I can do about it now. Other than the Sativas the canopy is pretty even.

Fed with Molasses and FloraNova Bloom yesterday, will post some pics later today.

 

[organic420]

Here's the pics I promised. Everything is still looking great. They reacted nicely to their first Bloom feeding yesterday. I am seeing a little better results as in amount of growth and size of plants from the 2 gallon pots using 100% Organic soil mix with mixed in dry ferts and molasses. Still have to compare final results and then will make a decision on permanent mix.

Enjoy

Here are some shots at Day 18. They are doing great, just watered about an hour ago so the leaves are still laying down a little bit. You can see how fast some of the shorter Indicas are filling in and getting chunky. The sativas aren't doing to bad themselves. They are just starting to show crystals on the spike leaves of the faster maturing Indicas.

Enjoy
