Millergd77's - Soil - Samples - Toss In A Kitchen Sink - 1st Grow - 2015

[millergd77]

Hello everyone that stops by here, I seem to be busy a lot and haven't grown
my own for a long time...
I can't get the money tree to grow, so going to give this a try...
Any input is more that welcome..

Here goes:

4 plants, all CK seeds...put in water 11/27, paper towel 11/28...
all popped, and put in soil on 11/30...
into pint pots at first...

1 Dark Angel
1 White Cookies
1 Purple Kush
1 Crown Royal

Soil:
60% Fox Farm Happy Frog
30% perlite
10% vermiculite
10% peat moss

yes, have to do everything 110 %


The pots are 1 to 1 1/2 gallon pots I believe and will have 2 inches of clay pebbles
in the bottom to ad in drainage...

grow area is the old attic, had to insulate, put up walls, run electric....took a few months...lol
Now it is 2 rooms, smaller veg room...flower room is 5 foot at highest point...

Lights:

For veg I'm using CFL's 6500k 18 / 6

For flower 12 / 12
CFL's 2700k, 3500k
T8's 3500k, and 5000k
and LEDs

Nutrients:
Fox Farms, and going by their chart
water is held in a aerated container for a at least a day and ph is adjusted to 6.5
( du to a gnat problem I also keep a mosquito dunk in the water for now)

Veg room is vented in through the bottom corner and exhausted through a top corner
into flower room. Flower room is exhausted out through roof vent using a duct fan
with a carbon filter... Also a fan for air movement...

Okay that's all for now, so far....If I left anything out let me know...
I will post pictures soon, maybe today yet if I have time...

Thanks for stopping by...

Okay, I'm back with a few pics...It seems that the Crown Royal is taking its time, but just peeking now

I do Have a Jack Herer in the flower room, seems to like it better there than the dining room...now that the room is done...

Thanks for stopping by...

up date day 8 in the dirt, crown royal is with us now, decided to show up yesterday

 

[millergd77]

update day 14 here, yesterday I transplanted 3 of the girls, roots were wanting out of the small pots. The crown royal is running a little behind....

Not sure but I think that my laptop was sideways when I uploaded the pictures...lol

 

[millergd77]

I forgot yesterday, White cookies was tall enough, as they get tall enough I'm putting in clay pebbles to help disperse the water when they get feed, and then sand on top.. when I water the sand will fill in open areas below the pebbles, I had a gnat problem and with the sand they shouldn't be able to lay eggs, if there are any...It was scary, I think that I still see them every where...

Hope that everyone has a great day, and everything grows green....

Subbed Miller. Nice grow so far!

 

[millergd77]

Thanks ShiggityFlip...

It's a small operation, only 1 man working the fields on the farm here...
I did a bunch of reading and hope that I have it figured out...

 

[millergd77]

As of last night all plants are in there new pots, crown royal made it....all have the sand and pebbles on top...
I will try to post pics later today when I get out of work here....

temps are 70f for low and 80 to 81 for highs....
rh fluctuates between 39% and 52%

All looks good sofar,

hope that everyone has a green Christmas...

 

[millergd77]

We are on week 3, day 21 now...every one seems to be doing okay. White Cookies got its head chopped off last night, she is growing the fastest here, 5 1/2 inches tall now, the rest are between 3 and 4 inches...
Started giving nuets now 1/4th what FF calls for....

I seem to have lost a picture, I will take another when I get a chance....I think that I have them right this time though... lol

Hope that everyone has a great Christmas...

Looks like it will be green....

 

[millergd77]

Well we are on week 4, day 28....everyone is coming along good so far, they are all topped now...short update...

Hope that everyone one had a Merry Christmas....

 

[millergd77]

I'm late with everything, have been busy, but things are starting to slow down...

Week 5, day 37....girls seem to be getting bigger...watering every other day, only going with half of
FF recommended nuets....They seem to like that best...Crown Royal is catching up and has passed Dark angel....

Front left Dark Angel, White Cookies is behind her.... Crown Royal is front right with Purple Kush behind her...

Hope that everyone one had a great New Years....

Week 7, day 53

I seem to still be busy at work, and home, but have some time now...
week 6 I moved white cookies and purple kush into the flower room, they were getting to big for my
limited veg room....looks like next week I will be moving crown royal in with them. Dark angel isn't growing
as fast as the rest, but still looking good.

I'm feeding all at 3/4 of what FF recommends, and only every third watering, they seem happiest with that.

temps are 70 for low at night and between 80 and 84 during the day in veg room
flower room hits around 78...

Hope that everyone is doing okay...

Ty ShiggityFlip.... I can't wait either, but also like watching them grow..

 

[millergd77]

Here is another late update... lol

The pictures are from the 26th though.. I moved all to the flower space now, starting to thing I might have to move them
sooner next time, think that they might out grow their space... I guess that we will find out...

This is week 8 for them day 57, 1st picture is White cookies on the right and Purple kush on the left.
2nd pic is Crown royal left and Dark angel on the right...

Without the veg room going the high temp only gets up to around 75 now...

Have a Great Day...

 

[millergd77]

Week 9, Day 61....pictures aren't as good as they could be this time....
1st pic White Cookies
2nd Purple Kush
3rd Crown Royal
4th Dark Angel

Will do better on the pics next time...

 

[millergd77]

I'm running late here as usual, it seems... I starting to have a problem here last week I noticed...pic is a little fussy...

Was thinking that I have a potassium deficiency, or maybe phosphorus... I tried correcting but then ended up
with my leave tips a little brown and curled down, so last night I flushed them all with 4 gallons of water, then feed
them with 1/4 nuets...hope this helps...

any ideas, I'm all ears...

Here are some pics after they got flushed...

White Cookies 6 weeks flowering...

Purple Kush 6 weeks flowering...

Crown Royal 4 weeks flowering...

Dark Angel 4 weeks flowering...

Thanks for stopping by....

 

[millergd77]

I have a double update here....late as usual...
I was having a problem, I believe that everything is better now... thank you Emilya

My soil seems to be more of a soilless soil, so to speak... I adjusted the ph and the nuets and the girls are
looking better... Dark Angel seems to be a bit more sensitive almost thought that I might loose her, but realized that
she seemed to be root bound also so transplanted into a larger pot...

Here are the pis from week 13 day 91...

White Cookies and Purple Kush

Crown Royal and Dark Angel


Now its Week 14 day 100, getting close to harvest time for some, 1 to 2 weeks...


1st White Cookies

2nd is Purple Kush

3rd is Crown Royal

And last is Dark Angel, starting to come around again...

Thanks for stopping by...
