Monkey's 2nd Attempt - CFL - Soil - Thunderpaws

[ChronicMonkey]

Hey guys seeing as my first was a flop I started a new grew with some seeds thanks to Ottawagreen... So all props to hima for the seeds.. Here is the breakdown

Strain: Thunderpaws (hybrid) regular seeds thanks to ottawagreen seeds .
Lights: cfl 460w mix spectrum of 340w 6400k + 120w 2700k
Medium: potting soil + vermiculite + perlite:
Containers: small seedling pots
Airflow: 2x pc fans
Grow space: 60cm*52cm*115cm
Temp and humidity sensor: none
Ph meter: none
Nutes: none so fare
Nutes on hand: wonder supranute plus 31 (22), atlantic ferts bio ocean (slow release), atlantic ferts all purpose (slow release), culterra multisol 36 (46) + trace elements...
Lighting schedule: 18/6

Not sure if i missed something out.. This grow i will do a 3 week vegs and then swap over to 12/12 to show sex or take clones ( if i can get all the stuff i need for cloning) and determine sex of plants that way..

Hope it goes better this time. Will add pics a bit later..

Pics of nutes:

Pics of setup and seedlings so far, as you can see. One has already sprouted.

Things so far.. 5 seeds planted.. Wish me luck. Quick q; the soil seems to be drying up quick. Must i water it regularly as the soul feels dry?

 

[ChronicMonkey]

So i was thinking, maybe i should throw these girls in a sog setup plus a scrog setup and topping them once? What you guys think?

Monkey 2nd attempt: cfl+soil+thunderpaws

Im new so i cant offer advice i was just wandering when your first crop died off am 11-12 days into flowering and im nervous about each stage because ive never even grown a tomato

My first crop didn't die, they just turned out to be hermies which is not what i wanted: so i moved them outside and started a new grow..

 

[Robbo94]

Oh god at least you got all them free seeds . im guessing the best thing i can do for y grow is just never open the door when its there night time to avoid getting hermies

Yes im making sure i have no light leaks this time, as i noticed my door hanging a bit causing some light to enter.. Never thought is would make such a difference but clearly it did.. So im a lot more "anal" about it so to speak.. Lol

 

[Robbo94]

Shit man im checking my hole tent over for light leaks now, id of gone mad to be honest but dot hermie give female only seeds so you got a good supply thru it so you could take some good out the bad .

 

[ChronicMonkey]

How true is the fact that hermies give female seeds.. From what i read, hermies give hermie seeds..

 

[Robbo94]

Just thru what ive read on different forums mate best bet plant one out side and see what it does if you got good conditions unlike the shitty uk

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Bro in S.A we have awesome growing outdoor conditions.. But like im asking.. Will my hermie plants give me hermie seeds or female seeds..

Input from anyone on this question would be appreciated:.

Thanks in advance..

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Okay so 3 of the 5 seeds popped up but one died and i have no idea why.. So currenty have two seedlings goings.. Hope the other 2 pop up too..

Thunderpaws is great! Got two in bloom six weeks in!! This is what to look forward too!

Just be sure to follow OG directions! Pop at least eight clone then bloom. Believe me its better that way. Wish i would of done that. Good luck! M subbing in!!

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Nice!!! What is your plant height there in bloom? And what size pots are they in?

 

[pino0911]

I have them in three gallon soft pots. They are lil over two feet tall. They have been a joy to grow!!

 

[pino0911]

Its my first grow and wish i listened to OG and popped all of them. I have the clones of these two in bloom. I did train them by lst in a circle around the pot then let them go vert when i put in bloom. Still have bout four weeks to go so i hope they are gonna start to packing on the wieght. The coloas already are starting to fall over!! Lol!!

Hey guys here is an update on my thunderpaws grow.. 3 up the seeds sprouted bit one died so im left with two seedlings.. I transplant the seedlings today into bigger pots and i hope this helps with the growth cause it seems the growth has halted.. Here are some pics...

I kept the seedling tray in there just incase the other two seeds decide to pop up..

Heres to the best...

 

[pino0911]

They will pop up dont give up hope. Looking good. Gonna sub if u dont mind.

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Okay so i cleaned up my vegs cabinet, rewiring, fixing the reflectors. Putting a small pc fan ( an yes i will still put more.. Made a mounting for the light and just made it look more organized... Here are some pics..

As you can see i put a devider in the middle of the cabinet too so i can use the other space for cloning and flowering of the cloning...

What you guys think?

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Oh and just for interest sakes.. With my last grow lighting setup when i did a lux reading i think i got around 4k for thos grow its a lot better...

This is the reading an inch away from the lights

And this is the reading with phone at seedling level

Massive difference from last time if this counts...
