Small start but im back to the basics!!!
Hello icmag famalia,
Haven't grown anything in a while and now i am excited to say that im back at it. I had to give it some time off due to security issues and family problems etc. So i have been out of it for a little over a year. Had all my old equipment repossessed by the cops but luckily my seed stash was never found which ables me to continue again . I was using 4x4 tents with 1000 watt hid lights. Now i am just keeping things pure and simple. I have a 3x3 tent with t5 grow light over 6 seedlings. I germinated all 6 in cups of texas hydro soil. Which i probably wont use again, i was experiencing nutrition deficiency early. I know its good to start seeds in soil with no addition food but i prefer it to have at least a little nutrients available because i sont usually like to transplant until my plants have at least a few nodes so this time i had to transplant a little earlier than expected. All 6 plants have been transplanted in roots organics soil and all in one gallon pots for the next few weeks. This grow i am keeping it simple. No extra nutes just roots organic soil and watered with spring water and grandma's gold molasses. So far its been about 3 days and the plants seems to really love it. I do however have one plant that seems like its just a bad pheno. Growing pretty weird but its been that way since it popped. So i figured i transplant and give it time to heal. If not ill just throw it away or give it away. Currently i have (1) pineapple chunk by barneys farm. (1) money maker by strain hunters (1) lemon kush by female seeds (1) strain i call killer kush which is my favorite one so far by grow status. (2) female mix seeds my female seeds. I will have a marshydro 700 inside the tent within another week. I am going to flower in 3 gallon pots with roots organic soil and continued watering of spring water and molasses. I will be whipping up a batch of my own super soil this grow that will be used in my next grow so stick along for that as well. This grow will be lst, topped & then finally scrogged. 5 plants maximum in the 3x3 tent. So far so good and looking forward to you guys chiming along. Pictures will be taken soon, i always find veg pics to be a bit boring. Thats all for now, will update soon guys |

Just checked in on the ladies. They are all doing very well. The ugly pheno is still ugly but its progressing so ill let it stay around. Its 3 days after transplant and already i have a few ladies with roots already coming out the bottom of the 1 gallon pots. Everything is growing so fast. The plants are still small due to that thier all indica dominant but their stature is pretty solid and growing beautifully. The lemon kush has the strongest smell at this early stage and its funny because it actually has a orange smell to it imho. The pineapple is starting to get a different smell that i can pinpoint right now but its a very good smell. The money maker is the shortest but has the biggest leaves and also starting to develop a smell now. Its still too early for me to top the plants but i have tied them down to get better penetration under the t5 light. So far so good.. will update later

Hello Organiks
Your plants look healthy enough. IF you have the room keep the runt around sometimes they fool you. Do you plan on using the T5 all the way? I see no evidence of plants being tied down? Number 1 keep your security up and tell no what your doing one if in a non friendly place. Ratz

Thanks for stopping by Ratzilla. I had them tied for about a day but i untied them because i wanted to find something better to use other than the string i was using at the time. i am not going to use the t5 all the way. i am going to be converting my light in another week or 2 into a marshydro led 700. i am definitely keeping the runt, it isnt going to hurt anything in anyway so its staying. Hopefully it'll be room along the side for it once i put my 5 ladies under the net. im just going transitioning right now so its a process i have going on behind scenes. & thank you for the input about security. the last process wasnt really about this particular activity. it was just a wild period to experience that im glad im out of and now in a new place, new city, new outlook so im moving forward. i appreciate you stopping by. This grow is just plain and simple, i dont really have too many expectations with this grow but just tp complete it. my next round will be the whole 9 yards, as for this one, im just getting my feet back wet.

currently everything has gone very well. i am pleased how well the Roots Organics soil has been with my ladies for no extra amendments added so far. All plants has progressed and are very healthy. Will convert to led pretty soon, The t5 lighting is still effective as of now. Once coverted, i will then up pot all plants to 3 or 5 gallon pots & continued vegged for about 3 weeks. totaling 6 weeks veg time. extra week to recover from all the topping. will begin net for scrog as well within the next week or 2. Pics will be updated soon, giving plants a few days to jump back from stress of training. Hope Everyone is having a blessed season.. later guys
