First Vert grow~~All Organic 2kw

[love2gro]

Got 2 rows on each side. The room is about 7' 6" wide by 10' long. I just moved the left side shelf in a bit so I can water from behind, So the width the plants are using is probably about 6 1/2 ft. Plants are 6 Big Buddha Cheese, 1 Dutch Passion Blueberry and Orange Bud fem, 1 Kannibia Special fem, 2 DNA Lemon Skunk, 11 Skunk #1. They are all different sizes which sucks. I know some of the pics suck but Ill get better ones soon its late. Let me know what you all think!

1st pic is the left side (Top row is cheese)
2nd is right side
3-Blueberry
4-Skunk #1
5- Lemon Skunk
6-Orange Bud

Update

Update

Plants are still growing! Hopefully the ones I waited too long to transplant will take off soon an catch up to the others so I can flip to 12/12 soon..I am thinking of doing an outdoor grow this summer so I may just take the smallest ones when I flip and keep them in veg until their ready to go outside. I also dont think ill be running the lemon skunk after this round because it seems to be very very picky with its calcium? i think it is. I know there is cal in the soil. It did the same thing last round and no other strains did. Oh well.

Anyways, they are looking good and growing daily. other then the lemon skunks cal? issue all is well..I brushed up against on of the cheese's today and i smelled so delicious! I dont remember her being this smelly in veg last round. I also pinched the tops on the blueberry and orange bud, which they seem to be reacting well to. Thanks for lookin!

Pic 5-blueberry
pic 6-orange bud
pic 7- skunk #1
pic 8-my DIY water tank
pic 9-4 "Rainbow" clones..clone only, was bred in cali.quote from the person I got them from- "God’s gift (or ‘The Purps‘) crossed into Purple Elephant and stabilized, then re-bred into a purple strain called Demeter, then stabilized and crossed back into God’s Gift. It is a very strong disease resistant, pest resistant strain that carries a productive high from some of the top genetics from Cutting Edge Solutions in Santa Rosa, California." trustworthy person, so I know these are what he says they are.
pic 10- PROTECTOR of the garden..old stubborn girl..she would take down anyone she dont know that comes into the house..if I come home late and everyone else is asleep, I gotta let her know its me or shes gonna try and tackle me, lol VERY protective of her territory ever since shes gotten older.

Love , looking real smooth there no dout you'll be stylin' and profilin' soon! I hate when you've go all diff strains.... it's cool for us in the end but when there growing out! You got one small, the other one fat and squat, the others all tall and lanky.... good vibes my friend!

 

[love2gro]

thanks drymouth! ya the diff strains suck! I think ive already decided to not run the lemon skunk anymore though.

Nice. Looks very promising.
I also hate on the multi strain vert, but find it hard to stop!

Good luck bro

Canopy management is everything for different strains/varieties and proper lumen absorption in late flower so light`s not wasted on anything that`s not green , but I understand about variety being the spice of life as in Marlo`s addiction...lol.......

That`s why several smaller rooms dialed with 1 strain runnin in each is SO much more productive than buncha plants that grow and eat at different rates in the same room could ever be....but some folks don`t have that luxury , so..

With those different strains and heights , tryta trim em up side to side for no competition for light and environment , and yas could put the smaller 1`s up on buckets or anything to even the canopy out once stretch is over and swellage is in full stroke....

Old school rule of thumb is 50 watts per sq ft and you`re lil over 26 per Bro....things can get airy and wispy with decreased wattage in late bloomage.....

Good luck and take care....DHF.......

ive been trimming some of the plants so things dont get out of hand later with too many lower or back side branches not getting light.
its so hard to cut the number of strains down once you smoke them! theyre all just so good. but i really want just 1 or 2 strains max.
About the wattage..the actual space the plants are in is about 6.5 ft by 7 ft so im at roughly 45w/per sq ft..and I figure once the plants grow in towards the light with a nice canopy the w/sq ft should go up
Thanks DHF!

Update day 3 flower w/a few pics

Update day 3 flower w/a few pics

Flipped the ladies into 12/12 2 nights ago, so they are now in their 3rd night(I run my lights at night for the cooler air) of flowering. I picked up a 10 inch fan with 3 speeds to blow up at the bulbs, so if works well ill get another for the other light. I also got my veg tent back up and running.(ill get pics tomorrow) Got 4 "Rainbow" clones vegging to size so they can join the others. Also kept one bigger Skunk #1 in veg and plan on doing 2 decent sized trees with it and one of the Rainbows. Some of the girls arent as big as I would like because some grew faster then others and need to be flipped, but thats what I get for running 6 strains soon to be 7. Im going to try and get down to 2 strains next run, 3 max. The lemon skunk ive already decided to toss after this run, possibly even the blueberry so that leaves 5 to choose from.

On to the pics. I didnt get many because the camera was dead so I had to take the pics while it was on the charger which is only 2 ft long not the best pics but i promise ill get better ones tomorrow

How they lookin?

looking good in there.

you making teas with those goodies?

 

[love2gro]

thanks Yourcorpse. I havent made any teas yet just some topdressings so far..do need to make some soon though, you got any secret recipes? I still need to pick up some guano or something to cover the P. All I got for P is bone meal but that will take to long. Actually I have 0-3-1 Earth Juice Bloom which is made of Bat and seabird guanos, oat bran, sea kelp, potash, steamed bone meal, and rock phosphate. Might use that in tea if its still good.
