Nice and healthy and compact. How often do you have to water them in that heat?

hey m8

well for now i'm doing it like that

330ml bottle (because that's what i had left in my closet :] ) pure water
1nce per 24 hours

both are same age around 2 weeks old + 3 days to pop up from the soil , for now i'm doing only pure water , no nutritions no chemistry , just 1 bottle pure water and the rest i'm leaving to my BioBizz AllMix soil and the Air Pots

everyday 1 bottle per plant for now , in 2 weeks it will go x2 bottles per day for each , cause ... you know the Air Pots vaporize the water in 0 time

btw the temperature get normal around 28 celsius now stable

... both are double in size than last pictures , will do some new pics tomorrow to show the progress

Day 18 - Journey 4

Day 18 - Journey 4

high

day 18 ... one of my girls is trying to get down .... i'm not sure if i overwater her or it's because i start to feed her to late at day 16 with nutes ... or because she is near to the box window and it's getting cold durring the night ..... no clue

my second girl is still short and fat ... very healthy

Hmmm... could be overwatering... or a ph problem... or a bit of shock from the nutes. You mentioned overwatering, so you must be thinking that's the problem. Did you keep her wet? Did you hit her with full strength nutes right away? Theres still the possibility that heat is an issue. See if you can get your thermometer up to canopy height for a more accurate reading.

high high high m8

i'm aaaalmot sure that it's Overwatering , i use to feed her with pure water till day 15 with 330ml water per day on 4L soil per plant ....

.....it's strange how 1 became tall and then got that damage , and the other one accepted the challenge and became short fat and extreme healthy , with no nutes till day 15 for both

at day 16 i began to feed them with nutes , half than normal dosage , last 2 days nothing , now it's a bit better , i guess tomorrow new dosage and so on ... i hope she'll be all fine...

we'll see

more info soon

Fine fellows those ladies are. did you get your problems fixed? much better looking now fan.

hey m8

well.... the problem is .... how to define it.... the normal usual indoor problems ... you know .... couple of yellow leaves at the bottom , some other damaged leaves because of whatever ....

one day she is straight up , one day she is not so up .... both are normal i guess.... temp is as usual 28 but i'm sure on the top is 30-33 celsius , but hey outside can be 45 celsius durring the summer so i guess they will survive ....

now is the hard period of 1-2 weeks till both get use to nutes and so on ... there will be couple more dead leaves at the bottom some yellish corners :] you know as usual ..... to get perfect healthy plants with no single dead leave is ... well very very very hard to achieve but i'm quite fine with current state....

so yes , but are getting in normal shape , healthy as normal , already began to add more weight and buds on all tops and corners :]

i expect in 2-3 weeks to have massive explosion of bud's and white snow :] around hehehe

thanks for watching all

keep ya posted

high fellows

day 30 ..... 1st floor is already dead ... yellow ....some even brown crispy .... casual dead parts after nute force ....

almost no leaves .... because of 12/12h ..... no time to develop more i guess ....

... still no brown spots on the top leaves .... i hope till the end....no way to slowdown more than this .....

it's visible these 2 kinds are not happy to get 12/12 and red since the beginning .... most friendly kind for now is White Widow .... visible in one of my previous grow party's ......

... so this is it .... buds are growing .... more are coming.... no leaves ....

hey m8

it's usual stress behavior, nothing strange , if you start to drink a liter vodka per day ;] you will start to get yellow edges as well hehehe

i'm not switching to flowering , i'm not using vegetation period at all , since seeding it's on 12h/12h directly under red light for flowering and the results .... well just check my next post bellow

good luck and keep the good work goin m8

Great job so far, Fan. How tall are they now?

Great job so far, Fan. How tall are they now?

Hey m8 ,

Well after 4 grows directly on 12h/12h with RED 2700K bulb i find out couple of interesting things.

They are not developing more than 10-15 leaves , 2 or 3 couples of opposite big leaves and all the small one around the buds , seems like they can't go further with the leaves due missing vegetation period , but till now that's not affecting the amount of bud's at all , actually i noticed that the plant is using the food for more buds in such case.

Second thing i notice is that they can't go tall if you cut them even once , again because of missing vegetation period , i topped them just once and they completely lost the will to go tall.

Currently both plants are same size around 60-70cm tall which is awesome and perfect for my case , because i have 140cm tall box and 250W SON-T which is like fucking oven. I never moved the bulb , i kept it on top of the box since the beginning , it never affected them to search for more light or to develop tall sticks and so on , seems that this is just a myth at least not true for SON-T bulbs inside box like mine , the light intensity is enough strong to make them strong and healthy and to keep them short even on 1 meter far from them the light is enough strong to feed them properly.

Next thing about 12h/12h since seeding is that it's very hard to find the exact moment to begin with feeding them with nutes , just because they start to show signs of hair on week 2 since you start , and because they are so small the stress is huge when you begin to feed them , it completely kills the 1st floor each time when you start but that's not going to kill your plants or to affect their health , it's just how the things are working.

Last note is that the 2-3 couple of big leaves have shorter life than any other , they are discharged for just 25 days and then are dying , you can't keep them alive , no way , they are loosing the green color and then slowly going yellowish and then ... brown and falls if you don't want to remove them it's ok , they will fall anyway

So that's what i realize after 4 experimental grows on 12h/12h on 2700K Red light since seeding.

I can't see any lost from final product amount perspective , it's producing enough amount normal for such equipment but i can cut the time on half , i was able to harvest in 60 days after i seeded them which is awesome to collect 60-80g of dry stuff each 2 months.

more info coming soon , i'm expecting this time to collect over 100g of stuff due moving to SON-T from CFL

I would have never guessed that they were that tall. I figured they were 30-40 cm. Nothing in the pics to judge their size on, I guess.

Good info, Fan. Are you starting them out with full strength nutes or less and slowly bring it up to full strength?
