Indoor Auto Blue 250cfl Indoor Soil Diary

[Tony]

Still miffed off over repair but can't do jack until they reveal the repair plan..

Anyway finally recieved my grow nutes Wednesday an this morning I gave bella her first water an nute mix feed. She seems happy but il know for sure if she's accepted to nute intro tomorrow morning.

Also got my decent screen of green I found on eBay which is the accurate measurements for my tents width for a few quid and it's in good condition material wise. so that will be perfect.

Tony I would delete that picture with the gas notice if I were you. Although it may be unlikely the police could be watching these forums and you have just left your address for all to see

As you can see I've added a few pics of her grow room an so newbies can get an ideas of the measurements you have to play with in he DS120 Secret Jardin tents. Personally I would avoid the DS range if you can help it, as the craftsmanship on this tent is a joke. And I was unable to order a replacement when I found its stitching has plenty of light tabs all over it. BUT I've grown a photo plant in her an that never struggled with any outside tent lighting so it could of been beginners luck. I've a few photo seeds remaining after 2014 I ran into a full year where i had 15 seeds all failing to make it past the germinating process which was depressingly costly to say the least.

Week 4s been a little less stressful since the temps are finally below heatwave levels. Bella greeted me with a hell of a sweet strong aroma, when I got close to her to have a little grow at her new growth which began appearing after I decided to remove 2 of her lower body can leaves. She's currently 4 inches tall.

The reason I removed them is because hey we're not gaining much light due to the new growth which sprouted after I did a little fan slag bending to try an move hem around to give the lower growth better light access.

Soon as the lower growths begun to bend more towards the lighting, i may stick the netting up so I can keep pulling her back under it when she starts comfy grower img threw it. We will see while she begins to bend into the canopy I'm aiming for, which is a little challenging as more growth keeps appearing below her as well as her top growth.

Also after some close inspection around her head, it appears the first to sets of pistols have shot out. Sadly it was impossible to get a close up picture of them lovely lady parts, due to how bushy Bellas is.

She kept her pistols rooting a secret even from me. It's been a few days since gave her a full tea spoon of Plant magic OT grow Nute mixed with 500mls of water, the full dose was given by accident but she's accepted and clearly has no complaints about it. So since she's had 500mls of plain water this morning, I might give her another nuts feed when her souls more dried out, as I'm curious to see her limitations of handling nuts feeds at the 1 month old marker.

An if she can handle full nuts doseages already at this point, it means I can give her a better growth boost sooner rather than waiting longer to help her during the early vegetating stage she appears to be happly relaxing threw.

Week 5

I Accidentally feed bella a full nute dosage without realising, instead of a water feed. So we will have to see how she copes with it. Had a little accident an snapped off a lower and higher branch when I slipped, so had to remove them as they were unrecoverable.

Her lady parts are still only growing on 1 part of her close to her top below her constant new growth sprouting. Other than that she's still begging well an it handling being bent over for an even canopy.

Amusingly the scrog netting I bough has massive holes instead of small hσlєѕ, but I can't see it causing any major issues. I think the space between holes might be perfect for pinning down higher branches to let lower/ younger growth catch up an get more light exposure.

At the rate shes vegging I think she's gonna be a good harvest as long as I don't accidently fall on her an decapitate anymore beaches.

Week 6

View media item 2291View media item 2292
This week sees more Lady part growth all over bella, again I decided to remove some of her fan leafs because it was blocking out light penetration to branches I've pinned down to help them grow outwards instead of of the common Christmas tree design.

Her canopy is still work in progress but it's looking better an I'm hoping it will spread a little more before the flowering stage kicks in either sometime next week or two.

I noticed the netting gaps are way bigger than I expected so I might have to go shopping for smaller gapped netter screens. But for now il see how it goes with this screen.

She's still growing new top leafs every few days even after the few accidents last week. In fact she's already grown beyond her pot edges since I began folding her down to train her to grow out an upwards instead of like a tree.

As she's pinned down I can't give a height estimate, but as the pics will show. Even with fortnightly grow feeds she's not struggling with with any issues as far as I can see. She she's happy vegging her heart out.

Week 7

More vegging grow all over this week. Took off a lot of the new baby growth to give more energy to the older branches. There was a little tip yellowing on a couple of fan leafs but they were leafs that weren't getting light due to being under the canopy. So they were removed.

She's up to 6 nodes an I get the feeling she might have another week or 2 of vegging in her, before she starts her flowering period. But we stall see over this week. She's being fed twice a week an is content with nute feeds every 2 feedings. Ive realised she's been watering without leaving the water for 24 hours since the start an this areas water is hard water. So I'm shocked how well this souls helping adjust a hard water area PH levels. But il be holding water over night next feed to ensure she's getting a better feed during her late vegging stage.

Week 8

Plenty bud sites appear to be either still developing in preparation for the pending jump over to flowering stage an bloom nutes. As this weeks pic shows I've managed to get 2 close up of the bud sites in pretty good close up picture quality. Still been stripping the new mini growth an any fan leaves which ain't getting used as solar panels for energy.. I think my not a pro LST skills are pretty good judging by the branch frame shown so it's a good 3rd attempt at LST training.

I've just been feeding her water for the last 2 weeks to see if that was effecting her leafs going a little yellow around the tips last few weeks. An today gave her, her regular grow nute feed.

Any opinions from more experienced minds, about if she's got another few weeks of vegging before she flips into auto flowering mode? She's over the half way marker I no it was borderline week 3 when I finally began grow feeding her, so trying to give her as much grow nute feeds an veg time as possible before she flips..

An as usual I let a so called mate stay when he become homeless and he ends up stealing my stuff. Not to mention he container which 95% of all my auto and non auto seeds stored.

Guess I can't even get a dam break an looks like il have to wait even longer to get another grow going after this one ends when I've saved up to buy even more seeds for the 4th time in a row.

An after then forcing me to wait nearly a whole month they arranged that Friday next week they finally coming to rip out an replace my boiler, after trying to delay it another month So I could get this grow completed beforehand. So I'm now manovering and shifting a boiler room full of stuff I to both my bedroom where my tent is and my living room.

So moods pretty much low an fed up right about now. If I feel this way in 2 weeks I might just chop this grow an forget the whole thing as I keep running into constant barriers and road blocks in any hing I do.
