white widow, c-99, the church, el nino, cherry ak-47

[hobb3s93]

this is my first large scale grow ive done alot of smaller and outdoor grows, but ive never really invested the money and time i should have.

the system:
4x4 sunhut grow tent (for veg) with 4' 4-bulb t5 light system. plants in 12-oz cups now, just planted four WW and 7 C-99, waitin for the other seeds to pop...5 cherry ak-47 clones planted 11 days ago, theyre lookin good, and i still have 3 C-99 seeds, 1 WW, 5 church, 5 el nino, and 5 bagseeds still germin hopefully will pop soon. im going to transfer to 1 gallon pots and am in the process of building a 1600 watt flower room, air-cooled Xtrasun hoods, one 600 watt, one 1000 watt over two 3x3 trays in a 8'x4' by 7 foot tall room. i have an 8" vortex 747cfm fan for cooling the hoods as well as exhaust. carbon scrubber was a must. currently planting in roots organic soil, and using fox farm grow big for veg. water phd to 6.3, 400ppm for the clones, pure for the seedlings. i would like to post pics but i dont know how... maybe someone can help me out???

[hobb3s93]

here we go... but none of the el ninos have popped yet...so far all the church, c-99, white widow, and 5 bagseeds have germed i hope the seeds arent duds

 

[hobb3s93]

ok heres a lil update, finally got the flowering room up, had to install another 20 amp circuit running to the room on a separate breaker... the plants are doin good, had a power outage due to snow for 4 days so the seedlings are a lil stunted but theyre coming out of it. and not one of the el nino seeds popped, almost all the other ones did under the exact same conditions so idunno whats up with that! gonna let the cherry ak-47 clones go for another week then im gonna stick em into 5-gallon smart pots. theyre about 10" tall and growin every day!

new to indoor growing.

looks good to me man keep it up

 

[hobb3s93]

thanks, i stuck the clones into the flowering room yesterday and am gonna let em go for another week in veg under the 1k watt to give em a little boost before makin the switch, but i have these little golden spots appearing on the leaves in the middle of the leaves, maybe calcium/magnesium related? thats what i was told in the infirmary, ive got some calcium powder but id rather just use some type of liquid nutrient with both cal and mag in it. anybody have any suggestions?

 

[hobb3s93]

the plants are doin good, went and got some botanicare calmag, although it looks like it could be a phosphorous deficiency idunno, but i gave them some additives and it think theyll be ok. seedlings are doin great on day 12 , one of the pics attached is of the spots

Not over watering are you?

 

[hobb3s93]

it seemed like i was for a couple days the plants were getting pretty droopy, but i cut the water back and theyre really perking up. i was thinking im gonna switch to the lucas formula, ive been reading about it and it seems like its for me...cheap + large yields? YES PLEASE

heres a couple pics of one of the cherry ak47 clones, the pooch loooves da ganja

 

[hobb3s93]

and thanks greenadian! i certainly hope so, ive invested a pretty good amount in this, id love some dank...

 

[Tarus Bulbar]

Cheers bro!

Don't mind if I have a seat in that chair over there and puff this bowl while I take in the sights do ya? Nice set up ya got there. Over the years I learned the hard way that most times when you change your grow style you will have new obstacles to go around. To make it work out ya gotta have patients. She will tell you what she needs. We just have to learn how to listen.

 

[hobb3s93]

thanks drifter! im still just searching for a style of growing that works best for me...

little update
switched to 12/12 today, im gonna go get a 3 gallon smart pot, and a 5 gallon pot to see which do better in the system. should have new nutes and pots in just a couple days...in the meantime just sittin back with a bowl of delicious grass valley local stuff

OH and i took some clones off the cherry ak47's took 10 of em...

 

[Hank Hemp]

Nice setup hob

 

[driftersmokinjo]

If you just clipped for clones I would give them a few days before the 12/12 flip. JMHO but I feel they need a few days without any drastic changes to give the tips time to heel and less stress on them as well.

 

[hobb3s93]

hmm duly noted...im not gonna do that again, but this time im just gonna let em go, these 5 plants are kinda like my guinea pigs the strain isnt super good so im considering turning them all into hashish
thanks hank! i figured theres no use growing if im not gonna try to do it right, no more cutting corners

 

[driftersmokinjo]

This is gona hurt me more than you but here goes lol. Going by your first few post here that you have plenty of strains to play with and are fairly new to dialing in a grow. I'd say do some side by sides with the ones your not concerned with and find something that works time after time or at least make it 1 time with minimal problems anyway. It also helps a bunch to grow seeds that come from a breeder that don't mind helping a brotha out with no BS answers to seemingly BS questions. Try different soil and nute mixes with like clones. After you get a handle on things then run the stuff that will make you . I'm no pro but have had MANY MANY trial and errors.

 

[Tarus Bulbar]

Thats some solid advice smokinjo!!
Cheers
