Popping My Cherry - Colesdad's 1st Grow - Doing Hempy w/Autos For Medicinal Purposes

Re: Popping My Cherry - Colesdad's 1st Grow - Doing Hempy w/ Autos For Medicinal Purp

I would use a calcium and magnesium supplement. Usually a calcium deficiency will present many small spots on the leaves surface. Do your nutrients contain any magnesium?

Here is what I have
GENERAL HYDROPONICS: Flora Series

I guess I didn't read the labels like I thought did, my nutes DO have both mag and calcium. So should I get a designated cal/mag supplement from my hydro store (would be overa week before I could get there) or could I get some lime or Epsom salts or something like that?

Plants grown under LED light panels have a higher demand for calcium and magnesium. Epsom Salts can be used a a magnesium and sulfate supplement at 1-2 teaspoons per gallon. I would use a calcium and magnesium supplement. I use Botanicare Cal-Mag Plus as a calcium and magnesium supplement at 5 milliliters per gallon.

Update!

With the help of KingJohnC I know what I'm looking for now. I checked out the two big home improvement stores today with no luck, I really wasn't t expecting them to have some any way. I didn't want to come home empty handed, so I grabbed some super thrive. I had read early before my grow about ST and wanted to add it to my regimen.
I know some people don't like it and some are indifferent. Both those who do use it, use it many different ways; for seeds, for clones, fora stress reliever, for only a few times during veg, or some people use it every time. I sprayed my girls with it today around 11ish.
The girls are very happy, other than the whole calcium thing. NLBB#1 is really taking off, Mango is doing great and even NLBB#2 is growing despite her horrible childhood.
They are slurping up the water, aggressively! I still only nutes the water today and very teenie tiny bit. Not sure what the ST is going to do. Maybe it will do nothing now, or maybe tomorrow they will be bumping their heads on the light (wouldn't that be awesome).
Any way,

Humidifier - humidifing
Fan - blowing
Light - shining
Plants - growing
Human - learning patience

I was so frustrated at the start of my first grow because of these same circumstances. Nothing here. Well, they did have pots. I need to drive a hour to the Big City to get what I need, and did so for the CalMag. But, at least I got to do some other things too while I was there...

Colesdad - Thanks for answering my post so long ago, but you know what it's like with doctors. Got you subbed now. Also, thanks for the references of the others to follow as well. Should have my seeds by Monday or Tuesday next week. Can't wait to try them. Thanks again, and hang in there.

Learning to grow cannabis is cool and it's fun in a lot of ways. Especially for those of us who never really grew anything before. And, at the end, if we have done well, we get quite a Special Reward...

All caught up. Subbed for this one! Don't feel bad about using nutrients too early, it would have worked better if the pH was proper. I always give my seedlings nutrients in tiny doses. Basically when the first set of 1 finger leaves starts to stretch out is when I give them nutes. Super early!

I'm excited to see how these turn out!

Much love and respect Colesdad!

Update

At this point, I believe I have the world's smallest budding marijuana plant.....
Several days ago, with the help of others here, I decided I had a calcium problem. The best I could do was grab some Epsom salts. I watered and sprayed 4 days ago with water and superthrive. Two days ago I watered and sprayed with Epsom. The color is great and I've had no more yellowing, so I believe my calcium issue is solved by using the salt. Ideally I would have been able to get some cal-mag, but, it is what it is. The newest growth in NLBB#1 looks completely different than it ever has, which is the reason I think a bud is forming, she also has little white hairs popping out between the stems and stalks. Of cours, is so hard to see because she is so small.
Mrs Mango's growth at the very top is SO thick, I'm assuming that budding is happening.
NLBB#2 is still the smallest, but she is green, so I'm happy.
According to their life span, they should be blooming around now. I'm not really that disappointed, I'm kinda of proud that I was able to do this. Taking something from seed and growing it completely. I know my journey isn't complete, but im ready for it to end. I have two seeds left, another Northern Lights X Big Bud auto and a Delicious Cheese auto. Next grow, will surely be better.

Here is NLBB#1. The second pic is the reason for my question of, is this a bud.

NLBB#2. Poor girl, she still lives, but she has had it rough.

And here is ms Mango. Her newest, top growth is so freaking thick. Another reason I think she has stepped into flowering.

So, what do y'all think?

Killer update! They look so good!
 
Re: Popping My Cherry - Colesdad's 1st Grow - Doing Hempy w/ Autos For Medicinal Purp

Your plants do look very good! It's great how you went ahead and used lime to solve your nutrient problem. Saw your leaves looked off and did what you needed to do +reps!

I don't know about your budding, but they're healthy! Give it a bit longer?? What ever you do, I'm in for your next grow!

:peace:

Great job so far!!!! looking great now after your slow start!
 
Re: Popping My Cherry - Colesdad's 1st Grow - Doing Hempy w/ Autos For Medicinal Purp

sometimes (i have heard and once experienced) these autos have deformities of one type or another. Just go with it. This one does not look like it's flowering yet but they will soon. Good move with the fast absorbing epsom salts. I have had to do the same in the past and has worked quickly and good.
 
Re: Popping My Cherry - Colesdad's 1st Grow - Doing Hempy w/ Autos For Medicinal Purp

Hey Colesdad, I am new to this forum but I saw your post on your state legislators pounding their chest and shit...Does that state start with an M? If you don't feel comfortable answering I understand...but in the state I live in they are doing the same shit...It actually costs nearly 200k in fees to start a dispensary although we don't have any yet...I think they need to pass more legislation before they can actually open. I would have PMed you but I can't yet...

Thanks

My next one is going to 100 percent perlite, bigger buckets and still doing hempy. I've certainly used my lesson with nutes, so next time I'm going to be a little more relaxed and less anxious :)

Naw, not an M. But we do have a bill that passed its first reading and is up for judicial committee review spring 2015.


Small update. NLBB#1 is showing pre-flowers. Yay! I've decided to just water with plain ph'd the next two waterings. I've realized that I've been shoving stuff down her throat nearly every time, she has not had the chance, I believe, to just relax and take a deep breath. The cow has been off for a while because I want them to reach for moisture from the resv. Now the cow is back on and I'm aiming for a sweet spot of around 60 percent humidity. So, my and the girls are gonna take some deep breaths and relax and enjoy :)
