Come Grow With Me: A Beginners Guide

I like mine Cloudy with about 10% Amber. Just depends on how you like it. Are you sure you harvested early or did that strain not have the Terpenes in it that give you the high you like. I made the mistake of not checking to see which terps strains had for over 2 years. I was never satisfied. 25% THC & not satisfied. Others that smoked it liked it. But it didn't do it for me. If you grow plants with the terpenes you like you will be happy almost every time. I look for seeds that have Linalool & Myrcene terpenes for the most part because I like a sedative couch lock high.

I was to eager to have some medicine to try, cure and test I pulled them with way to many clear hardly any cloudy don’t get me wrong I still get high and medicate but it has not much body high at all just mind and some energy increase, just not what I’m looking for. I like the terpene tracking and profiling for your own taste and I will identify pursue that avenue for seeds in the future. Thank you my friend
 
You'll find that something with 17% THC & the Terpenes you like will get you higher than 25% THC & Terpenes you don't like. THC is the 2nd factor to look for; not the 1st.

506 watts from the wall. Old type LED's. 4 x 4 Veg & 3 x 3 flower. A 3 x 3 tent would give you the best growth with it.
What's the cost compared to a Mars TSW 2000 which is a way better light ?

£300 each, I have 4 in a 5x7 room covering 40 11ltr pots

Sounds like the right amount of light for the room size so all should go well for you.
 
Well I've been holding off on an update because my camera is acting weird & can't take pics right now. I think the SD Card is bad from the message it gives me. Buying a new one today.
Anyway, I added The White Widow to the Flower Room with the Bruce Banger & Peyote Wi Fi.
Had to do another defol on the Wi Fi as she keeps growing huge leaves that lay on top each other causing transpiration from not enough air flow. Between the little air flow, slightly high temps & slightly low RH of course the plant will transpire. It shows rain in my area for the next week straight. I tried to plan ahead for the extra moisture & turned off my humidifier a couple days ago to try to avoid high humidity during flower.
The 3 Wi Fi Clones are doing great. I've topped them & the new shoots are growing out.
The 6 Cherry on Top are still in solo cups & rooting pretty good. They did their single & 3 finger leaves & are starting on the 5 finger leaves now. Once I see the 5 finger leaves I'll probably up-pot to 1 gal.
The 3 Glue Cookies have all sprouted. 1 in 3 days & the other 2 the 4th day. You see why I don't understand people putting their seeds in water 24 hours + & then in paper towels ? Why waste all that time & then another 3 days waiting for it to break soil ? Plant the seed in the soil & 3 - 4 days it's up & running.
The 8 clones I started for a friend are almost ready for solo cups. Roots are forming now.
The Gorilla Girl, she just isn't doing much at all. Just leaving her in veg till the 3 Glue Cookies get up-potted. Then she can go to Flower also.
I'm already planning my next batch to grow. Going to mix it up some. I found two Auto Seeds in my stash of Lemon Haze so going to toss those in the mix. I also bought some seeds for Tomatoes so I want to grow 2 of them in there also. I have these 2 large mystery seeds I found in a small jar in my shed when I first moved in. It was obvious he tried to grow but the set up looked horrifying. So throwing in those 2 seeds. So that's 6 out of the 12 I plan to grow. The rest are to be decided.
I'll get pics up soon. The Wi Fi is getting big !
 
OK, Got some pics coming at ya ! Here's 8 pics of the "Peyote Wi Fi". What ya think ? Is she getting big ? She's starting to put pistils out all over now. We be budding soon :) !
This girl is drinkin close to 2 gallons every 2 - 3 days right now & I expect that to increase. I'm still feeding at 5 gr. per gal. I stopped using the Terpinator 2 feedings ago because I want to try the Sweet Candy instead. I'll be adding that next feeding. I am still pH-ing my nutes to 6.4. I feel better that way .... lol.
Here's the pics.

I have the light above her at 75% or 750 watts.
 
Here we have the other 3 lazy bitches. I say that because they were too lazy to grow big .... lol. I think it was too much training way too early. Now I / We know ! Don't train too early or you'll stunt your plant. Lesson learned.
I got tired of messing with these 3 so they are all in Flower now so I can get on with my next grow. Still good for a few oz.'s ea. (3-pics of ea.)

And the new stuff in the 5 x 5 tent. A Group shot & the 6 "Chery On Top" plants. They seem to be doing well. Roots growing down the sides of the cups pretty good so into 1 gal. pots soon.

Guess this journal is getting boring. Understandable since I'm getting really bored writing it too. I'm definitely taking a break from journals after this one. I really see no sense in doing them anymore unless I just do them for myself to keep records. GJOTM is a popularity contest now too since the staff no longer judges it. Content of the journals don't really matter since most people wont read them all anyway. They'll just vote for who's popular. I know I wont read them all so I wont vote on them. It wouldn't be fair for me to cast a vote without reading them all. I doubt others will do the same.

I move my plants. In Veg they are under LED. 1 Mars Hydro TSW 2000 & 1 Mars Hydro TSW 3000 in my tent. They are both on 75% so I'm running about 600 - 650 watts. They are about 3' above the plants.
In Flower they go in my Flower Room. I have 2 of the 1000 Watt HPS Lights in there. 1 I'm running at 750 watts & the other at 500 watts.
Plant's are in their stretch now & starting to put out pistils.

What the hell, let’s open another can of worms. What has been your experience with HPS vs. LED? I’m curious about why HPS in the flower tent?
