Shadowman's First Grow

[shadowman]

Hello and Welcome to all that visit my grow journal. Today is update day. I have some new growth and what I believe to be 3 females. So I'll get right to the update pics and y'all can give me your take on it.
Medijuana starting to show some good growth.

Looks like a girl to me.

Problem child, Little Frankenstein, just can't seem to shake the yellow.

The youngest Little Frankenstein.

All three are showing the same traits as the two pics above titled "Looks like a girl to me."
If I'm misreading the signs, please let me know and set me straight. Otherwise, Cigars all around! I'm glad I've finally had some significant growth to share and what I hope to be a busy journal from now on. Thank you all for being patient and staying interested. I'm giving the 2 in the 3gal pots 32oz of nute enriched distilled water every 6-7 days and the youngest gets about 6-8 oz every 4-5 days. Again thank you all and please feel free to share your comments and knowledge at will.

I'm all for positive thinking, but I suspect what you have going on is new branches.
Branches are good


You will know for sure in a couple of days.

Yeah i agree with Rado,i can't make out the first pic but the second one is side branching

looks too early to tell

Thanks for the input guys, I am optimistic, maybe it's just wishful thinking.

If you are using distilled water you will need to add a calcium and magnesium supplement to make up for what the distilled water is lacking. I would add a vegetative grow nutrient with nitrogen to your plant Little Frankenstein.

If seems like cal-mag is frequently prescribed with good results.

As a soil grower with well water, should I have some on hand? Or is this just fior hydro growers?

 

[virgingrower]

Cal-mag is good for soil too Rado I wish i bought some earlier !! lol

Do you know if your well water is hard or soft? do you know the ppm of your well water?

 

[Radogast]

Do you know if your well water is hard or soft? do you know the ppm of your well water?

Water reads 7.0 both by drops and the 0.2 increment test strips.
ppm comes in between 80 & 120 ppm before nutes.
No chlorine, nitrates, or nitrities detected.

This is town well water that is filtered and tested, but untreated. It travels about 2 miles to my house.
I'm going to measure my brook, stream and swamp soon to see if they look as good

Hey Guys and Gals, Sorry I haven't been here in a few days. I've been whipping the yard into shape and cleaning up the flower gardens. I'm all caught up outside so now I'm catching up inside. I've got some new pics to post and am pleasantly pleased with recent growth.
I transplanted my sickling and made room for my second best grower. I figured even if the Little Frankenstein makes it, it will be lagging behind with the stunted growth due to illness and will need the 3gal pot for a healthier Little Frankenstein. My Medijuana is still my best grower and is really starting to progress nicely. Let me know what you think but I'm leaning towards topping it after this next set of leaves grow out. It's the first pic.

Medijuana

Nice healthy Little Frankenstein

My sick Little Frankenstein, you'll see some support wires to keep the leaves up to get better light.

Some flower garden pics from the backyard. In each of the flower beds we have Lilac bushes and Bearded Iris.

One and all, Thank you for your kind comments and support. I've decided to top Medijuana just before lights out. I also went to the local hydro shop and picked up some Cal-Mag Plus today and mixed up 5ml/1gal distilled water. I'm going to transplant my healthy Little Frankenstein into 3gal pot just before next watering. Looks like I'll have 2 nice and healthy plants, don't know if the sick Little Frankenstein will recover or not. If it does then I'll make a grow box just for it since it will be lagging behind.

Freshly topped Medijuana

Little Frankenstein to be transplanted in the next 5 days or so

I'm getting good growth on a daily basis and not much stretching at all. I plan on vegging for at least another 4 weeks and then I'll see where they are and if I'm going to flip or keep in veg. Thanks again for stopping by and all your support and as always, if you see something or have any suggestions, don't be shy, speak up and let me know.

Thank you granny, We enjoy gardening and love looking at the flowers while sitting in the shade and having a cold libation. We have multiple hummingbird feeders out as well and get them by the hundreds all summer long. I'm also an avid griller, most of our meals except when it's below freezing, come off the grill. I love cooking over an open fire wither or not it's barbeque. I'll cook anything on the grill. Thanks for stopping by.
