New Grower 1st Grow, Multi-strain Madness.

It's only day 10 for the little 'uns but I noticed today that there were roots at the bottom of the pots they were in so I made the decision to repot them for fear of them getting root bound. To enable this I finished harvesting the 2 Cream Caramels ( I harvested the main colas a few days ago ) but I need the pots and the room. I wanted to take them further as the buds are a bit airy and not too dense but at least they smell lush and are covered in trichs. Apart from the babies I've still got a Black Jack, now at 74 days, a Shot Adrenaline and a Himalayan Blue Diesel, both at 65 days. I tried LSTing the SA and HBD as a little experiment but kinda gave up, so that hasn't done me any favours :no: I'll take those three to the very end. The lesson I've learned her is not to start the babies off in too small of a pot therefore negating the need to repot them so early and so young when they are pretty delicate.

The 5 babies are a bit droopy, my best guess is a bit of over watering. Again (still) PH is unknown. I realise PH is an important issue but until I find work (I lost my job a few weeks ago when the bar I worked at closed down) I'm screwed for cash. I've applied for over 30 jobs in the last few weeks but haven't had any luck. Shit I'm starting to ramble, I've just hit my first bong from my first ever plant (dried but not cured yet) and my money troubles have fucked off for now :jump:

The tent as it is now. Good temps (75-85) and good humidity (50-55%)

Morning fellow growers and smokers alike. Time for a quick update and some numbers. The HBD yielded 19.2 g dry, the 2 Cream Caramels 29g dry and I also chopped a Black Jack (but I don't have pictures for some reason) which yielded 30.1g dry. Yesterday I chopped the second Black Jack at 78 days, she is easily going to be the biggest yielder.

It's now day 14 for my second grow, they seem to have responded well to the potting up and are looking nice and healthy. They have been given no nutrients apart from 1mil bio silicon/litre. The soil is a light mix so I'll just have to try and read my plants and let them tell me when they're hungry. Just to recap, my new plants are as follows...

2 x Russian Rocket Fuel
2 x Mohan Ram
1 x Afghan Kush Ryder.




I am complying some smoke reports for the HBd, CC and BJ to follow shortly.

Congrats on a fine harvest. Nothing like a fresh supply of some home grown bud!
 
The end is nigh for my first grow, I've harvested the 2nd HBD - I took her a bit further than the other one, which is pretty badass, so I think this one is going to knock me on my arse. I've also harvested the 2 main colas (is this the correct word) from the Shot Adrenaline, which is the last plant to finish off from my first grow - the side buds are a bit under-developed so I'm hoping another week will allow then to finish off.

It's day 25 for my second grow, not a lot to report except they've all sexed and are all female. Started on the grow nutes this week, 0.5/litre water with no adverse effects. I think a couple of them got a little heat stress as I didn't check them for a couple of days and they shot up, but nothing serious. The pictures don't show their colour very well but they are all nice and green with no discolouration.

All the plants from my first grow are harvested and dried. With curing, they are getting better and better. I'm loving the Black Jack for daytime and the Cream Caramel for lights out Vienna. I'm not sure of final weights but I think I got about 7 ounces. I've donated a couple of ounces to a couple of good mates.
