First Grow - Going Well - I Think!

[CharlieHashBr]

Hey guys, this is my first ever grow. I'm growing in a Dr120, 600w parabolic, 5inch high powered fan and rhino filter. 2 fans for circulation. Passive intake

All seeds were started in root riot cubes and moved after around a week to 11ltr pots with plagron light mix. They were started one nutes 1 week ago. I'm using bio grow and I will be using bio bloom. All pictures will have the day number they were taken on.

I will be growing the following:

Blue dream auto-Humboldt
Northern lights auto-Sensi
Blueberry & NL auto=RQS

I had a few problems. At first the light was too close. I'd read that with parabolic you could get closer and it turned out 12 inches was too close so I moved the light to around 18-20 inches. I also upped Nutrients after getting advice on here and the ladies have responded very well.

Please give me any advice you feel will be beneficial. I'm keen to hear everyone's opinions. As I say it's my first grow so any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Charlie and welcome!
Everything looks good so far. Nice and healthy seedlings!
If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask. There's a lot of cool and knowledgeable people around here!
Anyway, subbed!

Thank you guys! I'll definitely do a journal until the very end. It's a cool experience and something I've wanted to do for a long time. I rely on it for anxiety and depression. Been in pain recently too due to a back injury so that's what kinda pushed me to get started

Im in, looking good, best of luck to you...️

 

[CharlieHashBr]

Cheers guys. It's nice to know i have somewhere to go if I need help. When I joined I was posting in the wrong place and was wondering why it was so quiet lol

Blue dream #1 has grew so much the last day or two. It's crazy how fast she's sprouted up. She's showing signs of going into the flowering stage but I will wait a week or so before giving bloom. How close would you guys put the parabolic reflector with a 600w light?

 

[CharlieHashBr]

Hey guys, so these photos were taken a few days apart. The growth and been very good. Light is around 16 inches away and biobizz grow every watering. How they looking?

 

[CharlieHashBr]

Can anyone offer any advice or are things looking as they should? Any advice welcome

Whatever you been doing just keep it up cause they are looking great for their age, just make sure to let your soil dry out good in between waterings and watch your girls they will tell you if something is wrong...️

OK thanks mate. I like to get some reassurance... It's going well so far though bar a few minor things. Wanted to let them grow naturally for my first grow to get the feel of it however I'm now wondering if BD will stay small enough. It's a Dr120 but damn she's growing fast

Some autos are so branchy and bushy it's unreal, I was very impressed with my autos considering it was my first indoor grow, 12 of the 13 autos I planted has broke surface and come up so i will be pretty busy training these ladies in about 3 weeks, I really enjoy watching these ladies respond to my training and it helps to maximize yield also, if you do decide to last it will be worth it and you will learn alot along the way also...️

I may make a journal for my second grow after they get a little older and get going a little bit, I have to admit I had a good time with my last journal and got to meet alot of great people on here and learned so much from them...️

 

[CharlieHashBr]

Yeah man it's nice, when I first joined I didn't think anyone was gonna give advice etc but I was posting in the wrong place! It's nice to get some feedback and meet some of you guys. I plan on sticking around so it's nice to meet some of you and I appreciate the advice. I was going to train them, I bought the wire for it and then just couldn't do it. I tried with blue dream #1 and took them off. I donno, I'm afraid of screwing it up but we are 30 or so in and the blue dream look like they're gonna be bloody huge! Honestly I think yous will be surprised at how much she's grew so I'm maybe gonna suck it up and train them. I know how... Judy not confident. One of my flaws lol! At this point would I still train the main branch down too?

 

[CharlieHashBr]

Nice mate...did you just grow regular before that? I'll try find your journal

 

[CharlieHashBr]

OK so I gave it a go... Done 4 of them, the biggest ones. How's it look?

Day 31....i did some LST a few days back. It went well bar with one of my Northern lights (top left) the stem snapped on me overnight so it'll be stunted now all in all my confidence is growing and I think it's going well. I had predicted an ounce per plant but I don't know... I know it's hard to tell but that's my aim. Do yous think it's possible with the way things have went so far?

Oh yeah it's possible, did the stem snap off completely or can you splint it, these plants are very tough it might not affect her that much, is she showing any sign of stress yet...️

 

[CharlieHashBr]

Yeah man, went to check on them and it was completely off... Lesson learnt lol! No sign of stress just yet..maybe she'll pull through. It's the experience that counts! Cheers for following and giving advice. Pretty quiet round here!
