First Grow!

I hear you "Brother"! Keep it small and keep it quiet. Anything new going on with your girls? Mine are fattening up, getting real thick & they are all showing pistils (Yippie). I'll do a group picture of them on Wednesday. That is photo day for them.
 
yeah small and quiet is the way forward i'm not in it to make money i'm going to cure and smoke the lot ha ha,only my brother and two others know i'm growing and two of them grow them selves they have like 2 crops under their belts but their smoke was ok bit on the strong side made me paranoid to say the least,the buds were airy if you get me i want dense buds ha ha ha :-)
yeah my ladies are good cheers mate i'm in the process of lowering the ph as i didnt check it for two days as i was busy and when checked with the soil probe they were all at 7. i'm not happy with that even tho they look just fine. i'm adding ph down to my water before watering and that should bring it down slowly over a few days as i don't want to shock the plants with a sudden drop in ph.
i'm also getting a digital ph tester in the morning i'm not happy with the soil probe i want to test the run off,i cant test the run off with the ph test kit im using i want a more accurate reading lol .
Congrats on your lil ladies showing you their bits ;-) ha ha looking forward to seing the pics of you ladies on wednesday i really can't wait to get to flowering ! i'm dribbling just thinking of it ha ha ha ha !! :peace:
 
Yeah, I hear you there, some smoke is just way too strong, but my next grow I'm going to be growing some real potent stuff for my buddy. He needs it for pain, at least that is what he says......LOL.

Don't mess with your PH too much though, it changes from time to time, so be careful as to how much you lower it.

Was busy tucking the leaves on my girls & getting them away from the pre-flowering sites. I'm going to do a little pruning after their photo shoot on Wednesday, so more light gets into the canopy. They aren't being LST'ed any longer and are growing the way I wanted, so as long as they receive their light they should grow evenly.

I am going to try and re-veg 2 of the skunks/northerns and see if I can make my own female seeds. I found a great tutorial here from a member (Grandma). That will be an interesting project for me. If it works fine, if not, at least I gave it a shot.
 
cheers for that SABO i just want to get it down a bit y/day it was over 7 and didnt want it to climb any more thats what i think the yellowing tips are on the leaves are,the ph was a tad high and was causing nute lock out so just trying to nip it in the bud (excuse pun) prevention is better than cure is the way i like to think ;-) i am going to lower it to below 6.8 and moniter it then i can get a more accurate reading tomorrow when i get my digi ph tester woo hoo love tech :-)

yeah your own seeds will save you a fortune and enough to last you a lifetime :-) i was reading a thread to do with harvesting the pollen and storing it the other day on here could try to make your own strain(s) and could name them whatever you liked ha ha "SABOS SUPER SKUNK" lol :-)
 
Here's the link if you are interested. It seems "Grandma" really knows her stuff. She was doing Autos and Regular Strains. I know those Autos are expensive, as are my Fem's. She even shows the mistakes she made along the way, which was very interesting. It is a very long journal & I've only made it to page 23. So if you have time, you might want to check it out.

cheers mate i will deffo have a read about that i've been on here reading up on soil cultivation and other things realized i know jack sh*t about growing, i need more input !! ha ha how to take clones off a mother plant has caught my eye also so going to find a good thread on that and do some swatting the more i read maked me want to read more ! a strange feeling wanting to learn ha ha ha :-) going to look at that feminized seed thread right now lol :-)

Hey VG, Doing great mate! One of the little girls has 2 bad leaves at the bottom. It just happened overnight. I am checking my PH to rule that out first, then I'll have to look at the "Nutes". It's only two leaves, same lower branch. The rest of the plant is fine. Am looking for some pics before I attempt anything. Tomorrow is Nute & Picture day. I hope to have it dialed in by then.
 
Yeah, I think she is locking up. I pulled her out and inspected her very carefully. Her lower outer leaves look like they have nute burn, which I don't think it is, because the leaf on the same branch behind her is pale & has some black dots. I checked the PH before adding the nutes and it was fine. I then checked with the nutes & it was low, so I presume that is what is going on. She'll get a flush & then I'll add nutrients on the last flush to see if it will correct the problem. All other plants are looking great though.
