growMEDS' first grow! CFL veg cab // 150 hps flo cab

[socbutter]

Thanks for stoppin by all :smile:
I'm really not positive if this will supply enough - (for 2 - my other half is also a med patient and she can sometimes need to medicate more than me)
We have been trying to cut down since we havent had enough money for the dispensaries and wait for this harvest. we're almost there!
Next up is 2 vegging bagseed of the same as #1 and #2
And put 6 seeds of Menage Troir (sp?) by MOD in some plug starters.
First time trying - put all the seeds in a shot glass of water for about 12 hours - soaked the plugs and shoved the seeds down in - today almost all are popping up and all 6 have rooted through.
I'll get a pic soon - how long will they be okay before putting in soil?

yea another grow

 

[growMEDS]

I've never used them before, but I am guessing they would be getting close to rootbound in those once their second set of real leaves starts to show. Best of luck dude

Hmm - ok ok - how about going without nutes (organic soil)? :smile:

 

[Seismic]

When using organic soil, I usually wait until the cotyledons(spelling?) start to yellow just a bit, I take that as a sign that they are ready to begin feeding.

 

[growMEDS]

oops - I meant how long before soil? I'm not positive what you mean by the first 2 full sets of leaves - sorry bro

 

[Seismic]

I would wait for a week or so before putting them in soil probably, but again I personally haven't used plugs before. By second set of real leaves I mean, once they are seedlings still which are showing their 3rd and 4th real leaves (not the small round leaves the seedling comes out of the soil with). Hope it helps.Take care dude.

 

[growMEDS]

Yes that does help a little. Thanks bro! :smile:

 

[Seismic]

No problem dude, glad I could help

 

[growMEDS]

Just finished cutting #2 on Day 78 of 12/12.

 

[growMEDS]

#1 is all dried and has a final weight of 39.3g = 1.4oz

I think I'm just a lil proud of myself lol - and even in awe - I grew my own first plant - almost one and a half ounces of some high quality meds. wow

The smell is getting very nice.
Pulled about 52 seeds total out of #1 though but now I got a lil stock haha

 

[VerdantGreen]

How long can they last in these? :smile:

hey mate - congrats on the germ rates!

i would repot them soonish as tests have shown that you get a better rate of females to males if the depth of soil is greater than 4" (so as the taproot can go down unrestricted)

[growMEDS]

I'll be repotting today :smile:

 

[socbutter]

I am Very proud of you!

[growMEDS]

things are movin along :smile:
pics 1-3 are of the 3 jars of #1 (39.3g when the first jar was full haha)
pics 4and5 are the tops of #2 - the rest is drying still
pics 6and7 are a nice top nug of #1
pics 8and9 - #3 ripening up and the purple tri is a fem!

 

[reddy1]

very nice job, first grow or not. you've got a great future in this. also great trim job, those buds look top notch. pay close attention the next month during the cure process. i set a timer and open them 10 minutes at a time twice a day, then gradually decrease the frequency of burping them. if it gets too dry a small piece of tortilla in there will moisten them up without rotting or effecting the flavor.

 

[K.J]

Wow, some great looking meds you've got there. Nice job, they look mouthwatering.

 

[growMEDS]

Thanks for stopping by Cib, Red, & KJ.
I have started to burp a lil less now.
I medicated with #1 and really enjoy it - can't wait to try #2

 

[Strainbrain]

Very nice work, man, especially for a first grow! How's your new ladyfriend smoke?

-s

 

[growMEDS]

Thanks SB - I really like #1 - too bad I didn't clone
The smell and flavor get stronger every day - I'm going to try to save a nug from each plant to cure for a month or 2 - if I can make it that long lol
