First Grow - All Input Welcomed

[McPuffin]

i took a measure this afternoon and they are average between 5-7" and i don't believe that they should get that much taller. The tops are starting to get a nice dense feeling to them. Gave her a nice healthy feeding today and since she has been handling the nutes so well i decided to give her just a little bit extra sugar daddy.

 

[McPuffin]

I know the feeling the whole time i'm driving home from work i wonder what she will look like once i open the doors then its that kid in a candy shop feeling.

 

[McPuffin]

So here's some pics from day 20 flower.

 

[McPuffin]

Was thinking of maybe doing some defoliation tomorrow but not exactly sure what to take off or if i should even bother.

 

[McPuffin]

I know she is really starting to pack them on. I may just exceed my expected yield. I tried counting the tops but kept losing track but its somewhere over 50.

 

[McPuffin]

Its a learning curve for us both plus i figured if they got too much taller i was gonna move them back under but they stopped right where i wanted them to which worked out great.

 

[McPuffin]

Day 21.
Did a little defoliation today didn't go crazy but took off the ones that were blocking out some of the other bud sites. Things are looking great i'll post new pics tomorrow.

 

[McPuffin]

mine hovers anywhere between like 20-40 ish depending on what time of day and if i watered that day. I think the highest i've noticed it go was about 48 and that was when i had watered late in the day.

 

[McPuffin]

i'd say towards then end that 16% might make them frost up with resin. Might be worth it to keep it low. As far as putting the humidifier back in just make sure it doesn't get to high or then you might get the powder mildew or mold which i would hate to see happen.

 

[McPuffin]

I wish i had the magic answer but i really have no clue either being a first timer i have actually though might might be a tad bit high but i've seen so many different things who knows maybe someone with more knowledge could chime in on this subject.

As always guys someone has been there before. A little time with the 420 search engine gave me What Range Should I Maintain for my Growroom Humidity and Temperature?

It is also within the link below in my sig How To Grow Marijuana

 

[McPuffin]

Ok so here we are at day 22 of flower. I didn't notice any ill effects from the defoliation i gave her yesterday so all seems well so far. So here are the pics from this morning right after lights came on.

 

[SmokzAlot]

I would only be quoting the same stuff, so instead I point you to it. Sorry if you were looking for an easier answer. I keep mine between 35-50%.

 

[McPuffin]

If you look at the last pic the bud leaves are already starting to get a little frosty. Can't wait to see what the finished product will look like.

 

[SmokzAlot]

I apologize for not realizing you wanted conversation instead. I was simply providing the most accurate answer I knew to give, rather than just another opinion. OF course no one asked for an opinion. So why all the grief friend?

Some times I cant win, either giving a short concise answer or a long winded one. Cant please everyone I guess. I did try to help if you appreciate it or not.

sorry for the distraction McPuffin, keep up the good work...

 

[McPuffin]

It's all good guys let's put this behind us and move on from here. No hard feelings on my end.

 

[McPuffin]

Day 23 of flower things look great to me so i figured i'd post some pics.

This one is my fave top so far.

and a overview shot of one of the tops

 

[McPuffin]

Yea she really is packing it on now she is drinking about 64 ounces at a shot before i even get the tiniest of runoff. i really think i maybe get over what i'm expecting which would be awesome.

 

[McPuffin]

I kinda can't wait till it's over and i get to pull that mass of roots out of the pot, i've been dying to know if it's root bound or not.

 

[SmokzAlot]

Looks GREAT!

Root bound is a fact of life in a container. It's a matter of how bad. It's also relative to your veg time, expected height, medium choice, and strain. Pot size is then selected relative to those factors. You want to use the entire container and not waste time space nor nutes. IN the end it's about getting the essentials to the plant. This is done via the root system. So it could be simply said that more roots is better. We as container gardeners have to achieve a balance of size and our grow plans. A good example is the 2l hempy system you see in many journals here. Gaining in popularity I might say as well. For the expected growth cycle and space vs harvest it is proving itself to be production machine of sorts. Maximum use of space and materials, as well as economical.

You will learn how your choice of container balances out with the chosen grow method and such. Under the right conditions you can pull it now and look. Let it dry out good, where it shrinks back from the sides. Gently work it loose and it will lift right out if it has an ample stalk. If it has hole in the bottom just push a little from underneath after kneading the container a bit to loosen the sides.
