DBA's First Grow Journal Using Mars Hydro TS1000

So I topped and transplanted today, the roots were crowded, wrapping around. They should be happier.

 

[dba1954]

the plants were 5" before I topped and transplanted 2 days ago, They are now a little over 6" and wide. Didn't seem to hurt them at all.

Very nice. Question if you do not mind, I topped 1 plant also should I wait before up potting?

i posted that question in another thread, some say yes, some say it doesn't matter. So far my plants look fine and growing.

 

[dba1954]

looks like they are growing again (still?), both around 7.5", started FF nutes 1/2 strength. Plan is to flip around 12+ inches . The plants really didnt slow down much, if any, by transplanting and topping at the same time ...

 

[dba1954]

The girls are starting to grow faster, 8.5" high. Look very healthy

 

[dba1954]

plants at 9.75" , looking very healthy. I increased light height to 18" and increased to 100%. I'm happy with these lights so far. Planning to flip at 14".. soon

 

[dba1954]

one is 11" and the other 12". They have doubled in 8 days so I guess healthy. The temp has jumped to 83 in the tent since increasing the light intensity so I moved the ballasts outside the tent. I still plan to flip when the reach 14+". i'm just surprised at the pre-flower growth spurt

 

[dba1954]

I have a problem with one of the two plants and need help.... leaves are turning yellow... could this be heat stress?

 

[dba1954]

i've lowered the intensity to 60% @18" to give the plant time to recover. I also started every other watering with FF nutes per their schedule.

 

[dba1954]

despite the minor setback the two plants are 11.5" & 14" respectively . Once both are at least 14" and healthy I will flip to 12/12

 

[dba1954]

11.5" and 14.5"... looking better... they are such pretty plants

11.5" and 14.5"... looking better... they are such pretty plants

Those are healthy plants

 

[dba1954]

The tallest plant was 15.5" and the smaller 12". I flipped to 12/12 lighting. The PPFD is set to ~850 ppfd ( 18" light height @80% . I wanted to wait till the smalled one was bigger but with one tent I was limited .

 

[dba1954]

looking good after 2 days of 12/12

 

[dba1954]

one of the girls is growing quicker, 2" in 2 days. I don't know if that is normal or from flipping to 12/12. The other 1.5"... only flipped on 6/18. Also starting be to odoriferous lol

 

[dba1954]

15" and 19" ... what's odd is the photos taken under the grow lights show yellowed tips on the leaves on the larger plant. Can't see that under normal lighting

 

[dba1954]

getting taller, stretching a lot. The short one is 17.5" and the taller one 22" 8 days after flip.

 

[KeithLemon]

Thick and healthy.

 

[dba1954]

I added 1" of soil to the two plants as it was compressing. The tallest one is 23" with the 1" soil (24"?) so it's growing fast. It's showing Pistils all over.
