first grow 4 strain 12/12 from seed

[NcGinger]

Hi 400 - your big one looks good! You may want to check your pH - I killed a few of mine and a few didn't grow so well because the pH was messed up. After I fixed it, they started growing better. -G

So the silver Kush has began to flower. The others are still about the same. I raised the light then propped the short ladies so they r closer to the light. So is the big girl still going to triple in size? That would be great. Here's them pics, I yeah man I got a pool test kit to check my Ph, problem is the drainage isn't exactly clear so I can't trust the results, how to I check the ph.

Nothing new, moved them around a bit.

Lookin good man, it's crazy the difference between the two strains side by side.

I agree, I love watching these things grow, I didn't think there would be any difference but turned out to be very noticeable. That poor little white widow in the back you can barely see, that thing hasn't hardly grown for days. I put four 1600 lumen 6500k cfl bulbs, two on either side of the hps. The girls seen to have perked up just after a few hrs. You can't really tell cuz the pic is after lights out so they r resting. The underdawg OG has two little white hairs at the top most node. Other than that its business as usual.

So I just ordered a 6in ipower carbon filter fan combo, complete with duct and clamps, it should be here by Friday. I also transplanted the silver Kush because it was on that 2liter pot with roots hanging out the bottom. She seems much happier now and has grown a few inches as a thank you I guess. I have the other plants propped up about 6in and the Kush still towers over the others. I am really hoping for a good yield from it cuz the others don't seen to be doing near as well, although the others seen slightly healthier.

The WW is a slow grower initially. I ran one last run and just started another seed for a mother to cut clones from. Both times they've been short, bushy, with really fat leaves at first. Give it some time and she'll start to stretch, but it seems par for the course at this point.

 

[400wsmoothiekin]

This thing fits the description. Im running 1212 from seed and it has already shown sex so im not expecting much from it. Anyways i finally checked my ph, it was somewhere between 4 and 5 according to the meter from lowes. I flushed each plant with a half cup of lime mixed with a gallin of water. Hopefully this helps correct my problem. I cant believe the ph is that bad but i guess its possible. they are still growing nice and none are showing signs of stress except the silver kush so hopefully all is well. Any advice at this point would be great.

I'm glad to know you're also running 12/12 from seed, hopefully your grow will give me an example of what to expect down the road. Are you running 12/12 due to space restrictions as well?? I'm running 12/12 from seed with my c99's because my buddy that's helping me and I contacted the breeder and he recommended 12/12 from seed due to how vigorous the strain is in growth since it's a sativa dominant.

Anyways, hopefully you're Ph problem settles down and your girls remain healthy and happy!

 

[400wsmoothiekin]

What's up man, I was planning on growing some autos but that didn't work out so I figure I would run 12/12 from seed just to save time. It seems to me that the plants haven't suffered much from this schedule at all. I had to tie down the silver Kush because this thing just keeps growing up. I am hoping that the Ph will sort it's self out now but I'll have to wait and see.

 

[Murdakaii]

Yeah I'd definitely do some lst on that girl, the 12/12 schedule really made my seedlings stretch to ridiculous levels as well, so I definitely foresee some lst in the future. But yeah i think it'll work out, seems like as a new grower there is a lot of wait and see going on haha but worth it.

 

[400wsmoothiekin]

These things are growing like crazy still, I tied the Kush down but it busy free from the duct tape so I had to re tie her. The sour kosher and underdawg seen to be stretching a bit as well and the white widow still isn't doing shit.

 

[400wsmoothiekin]

forgot to mention

forgot to mention

Im not sure if the silver Kush is stretching abnormally or not, all the pics I have seen look about the same as mine. The Ph seems to be better, no more leaves burned half to death or anything. Meter says between 6 and 7 little closer to 6 but I'll give it time. I rearranged and propped them up higher as well I'll add another pic or two....

This is day 30 for the silver Kush, but it had a week of 18/6 before going to 12/12. any guess on yield? I figure at least an oz, there is better than 28 bud sites and I know some have to grow larger than a gram. Any guesses would be great. Thanks man..... Peace

 

[Murdakaii]

I mean, i would think at least an ounce, probably closer to 2? Since you're using a 250 watt HPS and a few cfl's. Although I have no idea what kind of a yielder that silver kush is. But I'd say it's a safe guess between 1 to 2 ounces.

 

[400wsmoothiekin]

They say it's a medium yielder although I don't know what that means. I would be very happy with 2 oz. I am hoping for a half gram per watt, so 125g total. If I hit that mark then I'll be happy as hell. My Ph is now at 7 so that little issue is resolved. The tracking says my carbon filter should be here today so I went ahead and put up my panda plastic door. All in all it's a pretty good day, went out to lunch and had a few long islands so I am feeling good, now if only UPS would show up.
