New Grower CFs First Grow 6 NL X BB, 1 Lemon Skunk and 1 Jack Herer Photo with T5s

[CanuckFrog]

These next little guys are at DAY 25 and are still taking the same nutes as their older sisters now. LST is ongoing and i think they might produce more than their sisters since they got way more light and nutes at a younger age.

NL X BB Fem Auto #4 This one reminds me of #3 with being like #2 but bushier. Pleflower has begun at " tall.

NL X BB Fem Auto #5 I think this one is going to be a monster when i compare it to its triplet sisters! Just started preflower at 8" Tall.

NL X BB Fem Auto #6 This one is the only odd pheno out of all 6. Its stems have begun to turn Purple with no signs of being unhealthy. I cant remember where i saw it but when i researched the strain someone ended up with one like this and got purple buds out of it! I sure hope im that lucky.Its " tall with almost a globe like canopy.

Im kinda bummed about not having 864W/80kLumens i had planned on but thins are still going great. Just not going to get as much yield since i cant afford anymore upgrades until January and hopefully that last month will help anyways.

As always, I am very open to comments and suggestions. If it wasent for all of you i am not sure where the heck i would be at this point

Grow on folks!

Hey CF...looking good bud!! Grown tons since I have been around your journal! Well done mate!

 

[CanuckFrog]

Will update tonight after i finish some wiring for the new light setup. Also be battling a few Deficiency's this week

 

[Fuggzy]

writing up some lights!!! I just wired 24 vero 10 cobs for my tent. Well at least the heat sinks and cobs, I still need to wire up 12 drivers... Fun shit man. Looking forward to some pics. I'm curious how Jackie is doing. Take care.:smoking:

First i will do the regular update and then talk about how i changed my setup around a little bit.

So the first 5 ahead of the rest are on Day 37. All are now getting 3ml Sensi Bloom A and 3ml B with Voodoo in 2L feeds. I have yet to pickup any Big Bud (Tomorrow) and will be skipping the Bud Candy due to financial issues. Will definitely be getting the Overdrive at the end of the month to keep up with ANs Hobbyist level at the least.

NL x BB Fem Auto #1 Been having no problems with this one! No a single deficiency in sight sofar and started flowering in full force a few days ago. Its the tallest one at 34" from soil.

NL X BB Fem Auto #2 Having some P and Mg deficiencies here but i think i have them worked out by upping the base feed. If the Mg def continues i have some Epsom Salts that i will add next feed. No funds for CalMag at this time. It stands at 28" from soil.

NL X BB Fem Auto #3 P and Mg defs on this one aswell but should be resolved now. Mostly just Mg. It stands at 29 1/2" from soil.

Lemon Skunk Fem Auto. Mg def but already 100% sure its solved. This one has finally started flowering even tho it should of been done way before the rest. Was a little worried it had shitty genetics but its pulling through. Cut 2 big fan leaves off to allow light down bellow. It stands at 14" from soil.

Jack Here Fem PHOTO Still sitting to the side of the rest a little far from the light but growing with tight nodes none the less. Looks like the FIM has blessed me with 6 mains so i guess i did it perfectly. Starting to attempt some cloning with tiny lower branches and pruning some light blocking fan leaves.

These next little guys are at DAY 30 and are already on the bloom nutes to try and prevent the P and Mg Deficiencies since the grow formula has no Mg and low P.

NL X BB Fem Auto #4 This one decided to stay short and flower way ahead of any of the others so im guessing the rudy is a little more dominant here. A few defs but being taken care of. Stands at 16" tall.

NL X BB Fem Auto #5 Still convinced that this one is going to be a monster. Getting tall and nodes are pretty tight. Should be the best producer if taken care of. Standing at 28 1/2" tall.

NL X BB Fem Auto #6 The purple previously mentioned might of been Mg def. It has begun to fade back to green since getting Bloom nutes. So much for a purple pheno.....still looks great tho with no Mg signs in the leaves. Standing at 18" tall

So there you have it folks! A few problems here and there but i think im doing OK for my first time. Mostly just trying things when problems come up so i can learn to do better next time. Will definitely have a bigger range of nutes available next time since i wont be spending nearly as much on equipment. Going to go over changes in the space in the following post.

 

[CanuckFrog]

Alrighty then! First off i will go over the lighting changes.

On one side with the 4 smaller plants under it we have a T5HO/T8 hybrid light that i made myself due to a low budget. It currently has 4 T5HOs and 4 T8s for a total of 344W and 31800 Lumens in a 2'x4' Casing i had laying around with no ballast or bulbs in it. I decided to place the ballast on top of the casing outside to lower the heat and be able to place more bulbs inside. Those T8s look so dim compare to the T5s that i had to unplug the T5s just to make sure they actually produced any light .

Here you can see the area it is covering and the ballasts on top. I realized i should probably reverse the plant sequence for the tallest to get more light from the neighbors as you will see later on.

Next we have the "V" that i made with the 2 4 bulb T5s i picked up last week over the 3 older sisters. And yes the white bulbs are 4100Ks because i can afford more bulbs right now and i had these already. Some light is better than none i figure. Thinking about switching the 2 2700Ks from the other side with 2 of the 4100ks here since all 4 T8s are 2700s. Any thought there? 432W and 40000L here.

And the area covered by it with Jackie in front trying to get some light.

Now of course with this tight setup also comes more heat so i mounted a box fan up top to pull it all out of the space.

And since i know someone will point out that i have no fans blowing on my girls or no dehumidifier around here they are

I tend to move them around from side to side once a day to make sure i get them all and will have to figure something else out for when the buds start getting thicker and need more air. most likely a couple 10-12" fans at each end or something.

I really look foreword to all the suggestions/questions/comments about all of this as i think its really the most complete update i have done. I feel like i owe it to you guys since my updates have not been as often as i had previously said they would be....

Grow on folks!
