Martymcfly's First Grow

[martymcfly]

Good dall all ... Day 19 of flower and things are looking good, there are just 2 that seem like they are not as superior genetically to the others. I'm so obsessed I rotate the plants every couple of hours when I'm home, and then, re-tuck in those HUGE fan leaves.

Took some pics this morning ... I look forward to waking up in the morning to go see my girls downstairs, lol ...

Then here is a pic of one of the new/old under-developed ...

And here is a pic of the UFO LED, notice how the leaves point upwards under the LED?

 

[martymcfly]

yeah i had no idea what that all meant either.

lmao

 

[martymcfly]

Oh, I almost forgot ... I did a pH test on my run-off last night and it was 6.2-6.4, is that good?

 

[martymcfly]

Looks pretty fine to me

How much stretch are you getting with the strains on average ?

Stretch?

 

[SmokerJoe]

yeah thats fine for soil

 

[martymcfly]

A buddy of mine gave me his 1000watt HPS light and ballast and some veg stage ferts + add a green thumb and alot of care ... I guess that's how I did it. Maybe Light of Jah is easy to grow and I'm just getting lucky, who knows?

 

[SmokerJoe]

When the lights are to far away or the light isnt enough to begin with the plant will keep stretching or getting a lot longer and thinner then it should be and you end uip with puny but oversized plants. For instance when they emerge they will be about half a inch and after the first set of leaves it should only be a inch or 2. After the second set it should be 2-4 inches tall and so on. If the nodes(each set of leaves) are to far from each other that is called stretching.

i think it has something to do with you too.plants respond to human stimuli if you are rotating them and giving them care constantly then they are rewarding you..great pics keep em going and be patient good things will come.time is the hardest thing for me i wanna sample them and start the next round.

There was some stretch at the beginning of course, but the nodes are pretty closely spaced now ... gonna post some more pics soon.

I feel like I'm waiting for my first child to be born ...

 

[SmokerJoe]

Thats exactly how it is supposed to feel though. Except it wont come out of your vagina when its ready.

Muhahaha ....

 

[martymcfly]

I'm going down to see my ladies one one time before kiddies get home n gonna smoke a quick one ... be back later

alot of the pics are of lower leaves which in my experience the plant uses during the flowering stage for what it needs or cant get from the soil.I have bout 9 plants flowering right now and the lower leaves look like that.Its in part from my experience and obervation that the plant know its not getting enough light into the lower growth.Also sometimes the leaf set will come out looking strage growing inches a day,nothing to worry about if the temps and run off ph are fine.you will definately know somethings not right when you are having nute lockout or deficiances. great pics unless someone chimes in saying otherwise id say you are fine.Im sure too the leaves are shaded with 15 ladies huddling over one light.

 

[tokersmokeg]

it may also help to see each plant individually without the hps on..lotta work but you love yur girls and could give an oppurtunity to clean up or rearrange things.

I know, I know ... I need more light, I just wasn't expecting this whole experience and was ill prepared. My first pay comes in a couple weeks so you can bet your panties that I will be re-vamping ... tent, carbon filter with 2x6inch intake and output fans, more Led lights ... I can just keep going on on and on but I won't, lol

I know that patience is a virtue but holy Hell this wait is excruciating .... thanks to all you guys, it makes it a bit easier

 

[martymcfly]

Oh, one more thing ... in 1 pot I have 3 plants growing, 10 gallon, 1 large plant and 2 small, which are doing poorly. Should I just remove them to allow more nutrients to the main plant?
