New CFL Grow

[Rollincoal]

Hey backlip i did exactly what you recommended last night. Except the one plant the roots were so knotted and slimy i took a risk and cut all that crap off. I am gonna probably mix up a half strength batch. They are pretty droopy this morning.

Here's a pic of my plant in the cooler. My approach with these types of pots is ride the side of under watering. Much easier to see when the soil is dry and the plant becomes thirsty to add water as opposed to dry out the soil, in my opinion.

Looking good

To me its silly there is a technique... it's a plant.. you water it when the pot feels light lol. Ok maybe there is a trick to increase something... is it worth the effort or hassle? I measure the amount of water or nutes/water and dump it it all at once. I grow buds like this, documented here.

Agreed...the lifting pot method differs throughout grow, depends on strain...pheno....temps rh so on so forth I've found... but yep she is a plant...this was one my last harvest...bagseed....she was under 1 450w dual spec......186g wet...76g 'I think..its in one my threads' dry.

Another bagseed I had going last run to...156g wet

Holly shit i have never even seen a bud that big.

I kinda had the same thought but not sure what i dis wrong. Do you ph your water and check ppm canada guy. Maybe i am over thinking it. But i will say i have learnt a lot in the last two weeks so hopefully i gain better results

Lol, I have seen guys here grow buds that make mine look like a popcorn nug. Honestly I don't check ph or ppm at all. I use tap water, and every second watering I mix in bottled nutes according to the instructions. The lift method for watering is great, but there's more to it. For example my AK 47 just got a very aggressive trim, even though the pot was kind of light I did not water until more growth came in. Overwatering is a real thing. @Backlipslide is accurate that your roots probably sat in water and his solution sounds pretty good too. Just be careful when she starts to droop u will have to water right away. She wont be happy in dry dirt. Overall you might be over thinking.

Shit sorry guys thought i put the pic on. The cause not sure but they just quit taking in water i haven’t watered in close to a week in and around there. Now i am not sure about cutting the crappy roots but. At this point i know root rot is pretty much a toss away plant. So figured i would try it save the nice ones and go from there.

Now im paranoid to water my shit hahahha

 

[Rollincoal]

Lol no kidding i just hope that i dont screw up again lol

Lol no kidding i just hope that i dont screw up again lol

Making mistakes is part of learning. I've lost a lot of plants, even to this day. (I dropped a new seed today) You will get the hang of it! If it was quick and easy everyone would do it.

Hope she bounces back for you! (Fingers crossed)

Me to man gonna they stood back up over the day so that is a good sign. After the kids go to bed i will get to mixing some feed for them. And get the other two seeds under my cfl.

 

[Rollincoal]

Well i decided to move the one plant back under my cfl with the two seeds but she is definitely showing signs of stress.

Good news is still one nice and happy the strawberry is going good

I decided the green crack should go back under the cfl with the two more seeds coming.

 

[Rollincoal]

Well the plants are still growing so that is a plus one still pretty yellow and the other is coming round. My strawberry is doing good came through the issues like a champ

 

[Rollincoal]

Well i have to say i am surprised the green crack is growing roots out of my pot so hopefully i can get some good growth starting to happen

That's awesome things are turning up milhouse

 

[Backlipslide]

If the roots get too overwhelming, it’s time for a transplant

 

[Rollincoal]

Ya i gotta do two of them dont need to be root bound next lol

 

[Rollincoal]

Well plants got a transplant tonight so they should be good the rest of the grow. Hopefully

The other two are starting to look better alot more green and getting some new growth

the green crack (bottom) is the one that had root rot realy badly and i took a chance on cutting the roots. Gimmie your thoughts and opions

 

[Backlipslide]

Looks to be plugging right along!

 

[Rollincoal]

Well i flipped the lights on the girls last night. I am about out of height in my tent and with the way work has been going i am not sure when i will get my other room built. I will try to keep updating my journal as much as i can.

 

[Backlipslide]

Remember that plants will close to double in size when finished stretching into flower. If your starting to run out of room, you need to start introducing super cropping your tallest branches.

Keep updating your journal honky!!!! Congrats on flip , I remember that being the most interesting/intense part they grow like a chubby at airways ,,,you will be on the scissor hash in no time
