[Bittybanger]

Small intro cauae im a few weeks late on the documentation. Hi police.Hi this is my first time ever growing dope! Im in my 3rd week from seed srry im not good with this timeline shit bear with me. Started the grow with 2 26watt cfl lights and a few small fans. Within the first 10 days I transplanted to cheese containers and put my babies under a 600watt metal hallide light and fuckkkk, what a beauty! As a newbie I'm so fucking glad i bought this thing kinda wish i had LED's so i didnt have to worry about temperature but this lights killling it. I use All Mark premium potting soil from home depot and dont know a fucking thing about nutrients so help me out please? No? Kk ill google it anyway. I dont know wjat to say, first day using this site i cant even post pictures but im on week 3 or 4 of this grow, except for one drooping plant these things are fireeee daaaamn. I know this is vague af but ill try and post pictures and keep you aall posted, peaaaace

Awesome bitty, good luck on the first grow. Any reason for the Hindu Kush? Been thinking of trying this one for pain relief

Chose hindu kush cause its the only strain on the list that said full indica when i was buyings seeds. Im also very new to this and cant justify every decision.

Now pictures for all those who were wondering:

Looking alright them so far, are you using any nutes yet or wondering on what nutes to use

First Grow Ever 600w-hindu kush

You want some rhizotonic to build root strength you use it with deionised water (boil kettle let it go cold) I sprayed 8 with a 500ml spray bottle once a day which seemed to do mine well and I used ionic grow thru veg and ionic bloom currently in flower, the ionic range are a single base nutrient meaning you can grow your plant by just using them there's all sorts of nutes out there it's just finding one you can work with to learn I'm on my first crop so far nothing has gone wrong with there life other than losing 4 because I had to stash them as run into police trouble and got my self tagged up

 

[Robbo94]

There probably ready to go in a bigger put too av you checked the roots at the bottom of your cheese tubs to make sure you plants ain't already filled it

 

[Heavy Cloud]

lol I was like cheese containers...then the pictures explained. The plants look great. I have been using the flora series pack of nutrients on my clones (they came free) Maybe look for some organic ones with buffers that prevent nutrient lockout...kinda want to buy those but going to use up the free stuff first. I am also brand new but keep track of how much water you are using and keep that in mind when you go to mix nutrients.
Example:
I watered 6 plants with 4 gallons, so when I go to mix nutrients I use a 4 gallon backpack sprayer, mix in all the nutrients and water all of them evenly. I put marker lines to remind me when to start watering the next plant lol. Just read your nutrients carefully, nowadays they almost all have a cannabis guide somewhere online, if not everything I read says too go 1/4 strength then 1/2 and so on depending on how far along the ladies are. Again I am new to so take everything with a grain of salt .

Good luck!

Trial and error is best knowledge but so far on my first crop no error just got to wait for harvest day to see if what I been doing is actually good for the final result or if my plants just look good

Birds eye view of my 4

I have 7 years experience if you have any questions I will do my best to answer any of them I have a form called LMAO cloning for dummies you can always drop in and ask any question you would like and I will answer

 

[Bittybanger]

Yeah shits going great. Beginners luck i guess. And yesss,i have most if the general organics nutrients thanks to a buddy but dont understand how to use em. Dont wanna over noot them either...fml
But the cheese containers r gone, rootporn was on point too
Sorry im not a good writer, im not hellen keller

Read he bottle for dosage and check if your soil doesn't already have the nutes you need already for a couple of weeks some soil does

 

[Bittybanger]

Havent done an update in a few days. All in all, things are turning out just as i'd hope'd so far. Fed the plants nutrients like 3 days ago i guess, maybe 4 (i should really get these things a callender). anyone know how often i should be doing this?The mix i got going on is prreeeeety fucking diluted thats forsure. So uhhh, these are the results: the pictures are are from a few days ago btw

However, .. one of my plants are starting to look like a cancer patient, like its fucking bilemic. Or diabetic idk. drooping, leaves are turning yellow, slowed growth, and one night before the transplants i walked in and the soil was completely soaked or saturated, it also had the least soil in the cheese containers. Im thinking my plants are probably getting over watered any ideas?

 

[redmud]

Absolutely right I think they are over watered right now let them get a couple dry cycles and they will explode with new growth. I transplanted 2 Pure Kush seedlings a month ago and I haven't watered them yet. It's in my current journal and check out my Bubba Kush grow almost every pic shows dry soil with kush strains higher temps gets better results like low to mid 80's Fahrenheit look up the climate in the Hindu Kush mountains now a Sativa doesn't like the heat they like high 70's Fahrenheit hybrids I would play around with temps to find the right temps.

 

[Dogwash]

Looking good mate - you're right about the babies being a little over watered - remember in this game less is more

Pop over and have a look at mine if you like

What nutes are you using?

What strength (EC)? What pH?

This is a great little community, loadsa folk up for helping others out

 

[Bittybanger]

Hey thanks guys definetely gonna watch the water levels now. As for ph, i havent checked that yet but i use sand and uv filtered lake water so it has no added chrmicals in it. Nutrient strength idk either i just run the whole general organics line minus all the bloom shit for now but it is mixed as it says on the bottle (low dosage). However idk how much of this water i should e giving them? Lots to learn still ahaa. Heres a current pic too:
