sorry this grow journal has to start from day 3 from clone

DAY 3

DAY 5

DAY 7
Well i thought things looked pretty good at first glance

yea thats right powder mildew live and learn, clip fan is not enough ventilation when lights are off
so i will run inline fan 24/7 now

day 9 things are looking a little better with the mildew ive been using baking soda, and neem oil and i also did some LST
about 2 maybe 3 weeks and 5 days until 6 of the bigger ones go in the 4x4 for 12/12 :hello:

hey DSDFREAK sorry for the late reply im new to this forum but man this place is awesome,
about the clones that were in the trays i bought starter plants for i think 16 a piece and rooted clones for 12 a piece
so im not sure about the age, i forgot to ask them

 

[DSDFreak]

Oh true.. are they from a dispensary or a collective?

 

[Meds215]

i got it from a local dispensary

 

[DSDFreak]

Nice.. i want some of those genetics =P

 

[Meds215]

not from me you dont
lol
i have been fighting powdery mildew since week 1 from clone i have tried neem oil,
last night i did serenade not to mention that stuff stinks i will probably not use it again and i even soaked them in that stuff and today i can still see a little tiny spot or two i cant tell if its dying or coming in but i know its not good
humidity is anywhere between 30%-45% plenty of air flow i think its just pm infested strains from the club
oh well i just going to buy a sulfer vaporizer
what do you guys think?
since i used neem oil i was gonna wait until week 3 or 4 of flower so i dont burn them with the sulfur
how long? and how often? will i need to burn the sulfur in a 4x4 tent and a 2.5x2.5 tent

 

[Meds215]

DAY 8 flower 3 gal pots for the
Afgani Kush
XJ-13
Hindu Skunk
Day 5 flower 1 gal pot for the
GDP
Purple AK47
Dream Queen

everythings looking pretty good so far
maybe possible pests problem

this is what the guano kelp bloom team is looking like

 

[Meds215]

UPDATED
DAY 12 flower for the 3 gallons
DAY 10 flower for the 1 gallons

we also decided it was getting to cramped in the 4x4 so we are going to finish the 1 gallons in the Homebox S under the 250w. I am sure glad we went with the galaxy balast because all we had to do was get a different bulb for the reflector
Heres the XJ-13's
this one got kind of trained a little bit

this is the taller one

from the side

heres the Afghani Kush's

and here is the Hindu Skunk's

that one from the side

and here is the other Hindu Skunk

and here they are together

and here is all 6 after being watered

ok now heres the 1 galloners
2xPurple AK47's in front
2xDream Queen's in middle
2xGDP's in back

the tea had a weird affect only on the purple strains maybe a little too strong for them

i am going to feed with tea every third watering for now
