QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Personal update I guess, cleaned out the ladies closet with bleach. Also cleaned out the humidifier and rearranged the plants so that they all have a lil more room. Temp is at 80 and humidity at 40. Plant 1 once again is feeling light but am going to wait til tomorrow to feed her, the other 2 in a few more days.

Thanks Kamy. But I am far from being a pro. This is only my second grow. I just posted pics on Sunday, I think it was. Not much has changed since then. Or maybe I will try to take one of the lemon skunk. I am a lil stuck at the moment but will try to post one tomorrow maybe.
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Looked in on the girls before lights out....temp was at 80 humidity dropped to 20. When the lights come back on I will feed them their nutes. Plus start some of the sprouts on nutes too. The lemon skunk has shot up nicely in 4 days but the shell still has not come off. I want to take it off so bad but I know better. Not much movement yet with the blue mystic. At the moment I have plants 1-3 in gallon pots wondering when should I transplant to the 3 gallon pots? Or should I wait? They're doing so well I don't want to stunt their growth by leaving them in the gallon pots but then I thought someone on here said to transplant right at the end of veg/before flipping to 12/12.
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

ok qtl i just finaly got done reading your journal from the start! damn my lazy fluffy ass! lolim so lax in keeping up with my 50 subbed journals..now 51! i have some thoughts on stuff, before i start just wanna say thanks for popping into my lil' getto gro j,! :adore:
and the things i say are just what has worked for me and im no expert, just a reading/research geek:rofl: there are growers here that are far more qualified than me to give advice, that said here i go,,,humidity,,well im gonna say dont worry so much in my exp, it seems high is more a concern than low especially with the older plants,
i have never fussed with it, its so dry here,,AZ that i rarely have a reading over 20% and my plants seem fine grow fast and i've never had problems with powdery mildew,mold etc.( knock on effin wood:wood:) i know this plant can handle and does well in all region of the world, perhaps your concern can be abated a little, i know different strains have different need ,for me when in doubt read and then i always perform a vulcan mind meld with my ladies aka looka dem if they look 'goodnhappy' then they prolly are! thank the enlightened higher intelligent hereafter entities:thumb::adore::Namaste:
psst i tinky ur buddy keeps saying bro in hopes of a gratuitous mammary image! *wink* just funnin' but on that note nekkidz are ok here as long as its got some kinda 420 content in it saw a pic of boobz with the 420mag link on the lovely ladies chest, also read it in the rulez! hope that clears it up fer a few pplz, ok :focus:
oh btw im know to ramble/babble on 4ever n ever n ever:cheesygrinsmiley:
your doing really good with your girlys far better than my 2nd grow went!!
i think i netted 4 grams of horrid cough till you mess your pants and pass out in your own boogers horrid smoke!!!:high-five: sweet yo'!!
i used to think smoking leaves was smoking weed like at one point i didnt know plants had buds, that was a long time ago i grew a plant with a regular 100watt incandescent bulb and put it outside to supplement it never flowered and gave me a awful headache lol that was in the 80s and i was a teen "good times" so obviously i have learned a little more! i tell you this just to illustrate my point of how sheer determination will eventually win!
so i dig the inventive containers you have seen my 2liters i learned that here from other growers here and damn they work great,save space either regular soil or hempys (u gotta try 2l hempy with coco) just depends where you put the hole/holes, i have been and still am big on LST especially with cfl lighting ,
it makes a big difference,with practice you can make them into any shape you want, :thumb: you would be amazed how long you can leave the lilluns in solo cups i have seen 2 foot plants in full flower in them, not that i recommend it lol,
bpn well what can i say this stuff is great, im using 2 part and the liquid blue bloom booster i believe it had a big part in my girls bouncing back from the freeze so fast they are already growing new everything, Corey is awesomeness!! :adore::high-five: geeze i buttkiss alot lol but it is well deserved and true fact o business!
i agree with propa gator the light "color" seems irrelevant in my experiences
i have gone from "ling" to done with the "daylight" 6500k and vice versa, with little difference (6500k seemed to be better bushier greener) i think placement and intensity are what really matter! my 2cents
im working on getting a hps too, but be prepared to deal with a jump in heat and you'll need more height to allow space between it and the girls
so they dont get fried!
ok well i cant remember anything else i was gonna say,,,:ganjamon:
so im out for now keep up the good work! you rokk!
feel free to ask me any questions if i know i'll share
or find the anwser
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Irish---thanks doode...couldn't resist saying that. Glad you decided to join, I have been keeping up with your journal too. After that save you did with your plants, you are truly the comeback king.

I guess I am worried about the humidity due to worrying about their growth being stunted. But I am also not ruling out that I may need a new thermometer, it was 10 bucks at the garden store. I am going to invest in a digital one sooner or later. Money is tight so I am doing the best I can with what I have around me.

Not worried about the space between the plants and hps light when I get one. Right now my bf has the cfls set up where they can be moved up or down. With how my ceiling is in the closet I more than enough room to adjust accordingly. I have been looking at hps lights on Ebay, there was one for 70 something bucks that was 150w but I didn't have the money at the time so missed out on it. Now I am seeing them run from 100 bucks or more. Until I can get hps I may just shop around for a higher watt cfl than the ones I have which are 23w.

And your input is always welcomed here....
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

lol i had that same light in my watch-list i did some research, and decided against it i'll wait till i can get a 400 watt the 150 will just underwhelm from what i gather, im pretty sure we can do fine with the cfl's i figure why wast money on a light i will just end up replacing anyway:thumb: i know all about the $ issues im on disability and its tough to just pay my bills and buy food lol ive been using cfl for years they work plain & simple, the hps makes yield but for me its not that important i dont need a lot:peace::adore::thumb:

Oh really? What did you see wrong? I thought the price was almost too good to be true. I figured even a 150 hps would do better than just cfls, am I wrong? Yeah. I am on disability too so I know how it is.
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

well the 150 is just not that many lumens i actually have more and i believe you do too with what we have and one advantage to cfl is if you break or burn out a light your not scrambling to get a fix up just swap it,and you can add and move them around as needed sometimes these girls dont grow in the shape we want no matter how persuasive we are:thumb: i have 1 cfl that is 70 watts and puts out the equal to 300 watts got it at ho.dpo. like 9000 lumens alone so i figure why not save and get 1 that will really make a difference ,,you know even some of the top guys still use cfl even to flower , some good reading here from legendary breeders, as i understand cfl helps bring our subtle flavors that the big hot lights can more or less drive out, as i understand the main thing that the big lights do is beef up production and growth but overall quality is genetic, dont feel like your cfl's are crap, they are not, there has been some amazing buds produced with them you can search the thread and find them, it has been proven that they can do really well with proper use, i hope this helps QTL :peace::adore::thumb:
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

Thanks Irish--Yeah I was feeling that my grows are inferior compaired to hps and the other lights. Really? We are doing better with what we have compared to a 150 hps? I haven't been to any of the HD in my area, none really close either. Maybe I can find the 70w you're talking about on their online site.

Well, fed the girls their nutes tonight. And I do believe I am seeing pre-flowers on plants 1&2...I am also seeing new leaves too, they're so damn bushy that I can't use the microscope to see without bending something. Mind you, I am not complaining. But I would like to wait on plant 3 to catch up cause I want all of them going into flower at one time.

The sprouts/seedlings are doing just fine. The lemon skunk has shot up nicely, when I moved it slightly away from the light, it started reaching for the light so I put it back. Blue Mystic is coming along, hopefully it will shoot up more in a few days like the LS did.

Just for kicks and giggles, I got a Cannabis Reference Guide for my android from a sponsor on the site. It seems very informative, though it did not have any info for any of the beans I have except for the LS. I forgot to mention that the beans that I have are fems. My plan is to harvest all the bagseed except for plant 1, I am liking her so much that I am gonna use her to regenerate. Slowly but surely build up my fem selection of beans. I am open to suggestions for what strains I should go with but would like a strain that is easy to grow, can withstand changes in temp and with a decent yield. And of course a high or decent thc percentage.
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

well i am not saying we "are" doing better than a 150 but it can be done, im kinda lazy and dont tinker with the lights much,the thing is a 150 is not a very powerful light i have around 306 watts and 24,000 lumens worth of cfl and i doubt a single 150watt 16,500 lumen hps will put out more light power or out perform, it is blinding in there with the cfls and i have seen a 150 in action, i was not terribly impressed like i was with the 400, one of the other growers here i cant remember who, i look at so many journals but he said "eh' its ok" when i asked him what he thought of it, so i really think you should save a few more bucks and get a 400 for 135b bucks im willing to bet you will be glad you did,, ok other growers lurking speak up here am i right or off my nut? lol:peace::thumb: inh any case your girls look good! keep doing what your doing its working!!

It is a HP digital camera, why? Shitty pics?


Hmm, I guess what you say makes sense, Irish. Been glancing on Ebay and not finding anything within my budget. I tried looking for higher watt cfl bulbs can seem to find none over 40 watts...I guess until I can afford a 200 or 400w then I'll have to keep putting in more 23 w cfls...What is the total lumens needed for a successful grow? I have 9 23w clfs now, 4 which are 4100k daylight. The other 5 are 2700k.
 
re: QT's Second Grow - 1st Journal

it depends on how many plants, how big, and so forth, i dont think there's a lumen requirement for success ,i guess it depends on what you consider success ful i say if you grew some bud you like to smoke it was a success! of course were always looking for improvement, if you dig around the forum i know you can find some formulas for minimum lumens per square foot and so on, so try that, but the info can be conflicting, i think if its working, your ok, you can always add light if needed,hope this helps, hey dont fry your brain thinking it to death:thumb: i speak from experiences of my own, i have been doing clf successfully for a while now imho, just read,read read! the solutions will come:goodjob::thumb:
