Come Grow With Me: A Beginners Guide

I just love looking at your girls. So neat clean and well organized. You give me something to strive for my friend. Thats alot of work on one lady, I did that on an outdoor girl this summer. Worked well.
I was trying for the biggest plant I ever grew. Probably would have done much better with less topping & a trim before flower. Live & Learn !
 
I started getting my drying room ready for harvest. My grandfather use to can fruits, veggies & Honey before he passed away so I inherited a buttload of jars. Still have 2 - 3 boxes of jars in the shed 2 years later. My friends like it when I give them weed in jars with a Humidity Packet in it so surprised I still have so many.
As you can see I use Shower Curtain Hooks for drying also. I also have a drying rack that will hang in the corner where it's sitting. I use a fan & filter for smell but just recirculate the air for the most part. It's sitting next to the door & there's about an inch gap under the door so it should suck in some fresh air too.

Neat clean and immaculate great drying room.:adore:
 
So here we are in the 5 x 5. 3 - Peyote Wi Fi Clones are in the back because I know they're fems. 6 Cherry on Top are up front to determine sex. They've been on 12/12 for 6 days so we should know sex in about a week. All 9 are being fed at 4 gr. per gal. & 2 ml. of Cal Mag per gal. Next feeding I'll add 1 ml. per gal. of Terpinator. I never increase both at once. After that feeding it will be 4.5 gr. of MC & 1 ml. of Terp. Then 4.5 gr. & 1.5 ml. of Terp. Eventually I'll get close to 6 gr. MC & 3 ml. of Terp. That's about as high as I go. That usually adds up to 1150 ppm by the end.

And here is the 3 x 3 tent. 6 Cherry on Top Clones in 1 gal. Only 1 of the Glue Cookie Clones rooted so far so that's in a 1 gal. Other 2 are starting to root. They all get 1 gr. MC & 1 ml. Cal Mag per gal.
And the 3 in the 3 gal. pots are the Glue Cookies I started from seed. They are being fed 3 gr. MC & 2 ml. of Cal Mag per gal.

That is some really close node spacing. You might want to raise your light about 6" to make it grow a little taller.
It's an Auto so you have to Top within the next week before it starts to flower. I'd Top whatever node you are on, on day 21.

Ok , lights are 35” (90cm) above the tops. Take them up 6”??

They must be pretty powerful to be 35" & have plants that short; unless it's just the strain. With the light that high I'm leaning toward it being a short, bushy strain. No big deal. Just have to defoliate some leaves here & there as she gets big. Mostly, leaves that lay on top of each other.
 
I can't say for sure or not yet, but if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me at least 5 of the 6 Cherry on Top are Females.
Sure looks like white hairs coming out. I'll know for sure in a day or two.
Got the Drying Room done except for the Branch Hangers I'll be making tomorrow when my Alligator Clips get here.
I got an idea, so I'm trying it out. You'll see as soon as I get them made.
 
After checking the plants this morning I can say for sure #3, #4 & #6 of the Cherry on Top are Females. No doubt there's white hairs on these 3. So actual Flower Time has begun.
Found this lady on Offer Up yesterday who owned a dispensary in Colorado but moved to AZ. She's selling off a buttload of equipment dirt cheap. I'm picking up a bunch of it on Weds. Been wanting to buy a Grow light controller box & she's selling me one Brand New in the Box for $25 plus a bin full of Hydro Controller stuff (I'll re-sale that) some Vortex inline fans, a Ballast & whatever else is in there for $50 more. I feel like I hit the jackpot .... lol. We talked on the phone yesterday & I got her to take the ads down. She's picking the stuff up from storage this weekend while she moves her other stuff to her new place; so I have to wait till Weds. But I'm good with that.
 
Down to 3 Cherry on Top clones. Yeah, I let someone I'm guiding through a grow talk me out of them. I'll Clone some more soon.
The 3 Glue Cookie girls in the 3 gallon are really taking off. I'm running out of room. Sure hope the Wi Fi gets done soon. I can fit 3 plants in the area she is taking up. The other 3 girls in there still have a good 2 weeks or so to finish.
I did a Strain Review on the ones I'm growing & it says Peyote Wi Fi takes 55 - 65 days to flower. We are on day 49 so we are getting real close. From the Trichs I'd say they are pretty accurate.

Here's a few pics of the 3 x 3 being used as a Veg tent at the moment.

Here are the Clips I was making to hang dry my branches. Just a 1.5" Alligator Clip on each end of a different length string. Makes them totally adjustable so I can hang branches quickly at any height I want. See the pics.

And the rest of the drying room contains a 1 gallon humidifier (in case I need it), an Oscillating Fan, 6" Fan & Carbon Filter for smell, and I hung my drying rack with a Shower Curtain Rod. Damned, seems like shower stuff works great in grow rooms .... lol.
 
Hope the site is working right today.
Anyway, that branch you seen hanging in the pic above was a tester branch. This morning I broke it up to try it & it's pretty good. Got me a good little buzz going & it takes some pretty strong stuff to do that on 1 joint. So, I'm leaning toward chopping around Friday. I think she will be ready by then. :)
 
I went & got that bin full of grow equipment today. Hydro stuff for the most part so I'll clean that stuff up & resale it.
The Fans were what I wanted. I got 3 of them & 2 speed controllers. Also a couple timers, Heavy Duty Extension Cords & a Sun Systems Light Meter. I'll keep those things. There's a 1000 watt Galaxy Programmable Digital Ballast & 2 Galaxy 4 Controllers. Not sure what the Galaxy 4's do. Paid $50 for the whole lot. Pretty sure I'll get my money back on top of the equipment I wanted for myself.
Anybody know what a Blue Lab Trunch is ?

Looks like you got your money's worth and then some!
 
Nice haul.
The bluelab truncheon is a great ppm/ec meter, I've had the same one for about six years now, almost indestructible. Cost me about £70 New.
Thanks for the info. I think I'll keep it too. Got it all cleaned up except for 2 fans which I'll clean today. Got to get it all done so I can start chopping this weekend. Looks like there's only a couple things to sell off as the rest I can use.
 
The 5 x 5 is filling up fast. Plants are stretching & starting to show their flower tops now. Been holding off on topping & up-potting the plants in the 3 x 3 because I don't have room for the bigger pots till I harvest & clear some room for them. The Peyote Wi Fi has to come down to make things happen so she's going over the weekend. Getting close to the end of the 1st 4 plants. Should all be done in 2 weeks or less.
I'll post new pics tomorrow. Back to cleaning up equipment for now.
