New Grower Cupcake's , Snowryder & AutoAK47 - Grow Log.

[Muddy]

Oh ya, as a moderator I keep an eye on all the thread here in the New Growers forum.

I cringe when I see someone put their autos into flower as soon as they sex. They lose out on all the wonderful fast growth that you are seeing. An inch a day is very common during weeks 4-6. Keep the veg light in until you see the fast vertical growth slow, then stop. Then switch bulbs.

From the looks of things you're going to get a higher yield that I've ever gotten from SR. But I've only grown it outdoors. Given the size of yours, and with another week of veg, they should be quite hefty. I wouldn't be surprised it you end up with 35 - 40 + grams per plant.

Thanks muddy, it's good to know someone is still following...

if you had any experience with Snowryder.. what kind of bud should I expect to get from it.. by the looks of growth they did over 6cm overnight... which is outrageous by my scale.. hmm... also got Ripen and Final Flush for when theyr'e harvest time comes close... anywho..

should I switch to my DualSpec HPS already or let them get that veg cool delux MH for a tad longer?

@Captain cure
Thanks mate.. I'ma be following your log too! :} thanks for all the good karma...
How is your garden doin'?

@Muddy
Thanks for the advice mate.. I do hope for that kind of yield.. Next grow should be much more fruitfull.. when I'll be plating 3 plants in 20L container for each.. gonna go with some crazy super auto probably..

P.S.. the smell on this strain is OUTRAGEOUS.. since week 2 after germination I had to connect the filter carbon as even before sexing it stenched the whole place...
[ Ofcourse by stinky I mean stinky GOOD ]

Awesome. My garden is on it's way. Coming down the home stretch. Another month tops. Looking like a 10 week grow this time around maybe 11. I like to let mine go till the fan leaves fall off and the bud leaves start to die. It's amazing how much more growth comes in them final 2 weeks where an impatient person would have pulled already. Atleast for me that's how it works. Keep up the good work cupcake. It will pay off in the end. Til next time. Peace

they are lookin good 30 sumtin days...nice Ive been wondering about these recently and seen some good piks of them..will follow gotta see when the icing goes on..keep it up

 

[~Cupcake~]

Hey BOMBUDZ welcome to my garden.. I am waiting for the icing myself.. the buds look very small and undeveloped, I am more than anxious about how fat they gonna get..

Will probably switch to the DualSpec 400w HPS Sunmaster on friday.. The strangest thing i've come to see yet is Snowryder #3 which was the smallest.. is now fattest and tallest standing around 10cm higher than his two shorter sisters.. standing quiet proud at 57cm @ day 34 from seed.

Update: moved one of my 32w spiral CFL standing upwards from the ground of the grow area lighting all of the lower budsites from underneath the main canopy.. I Already have to tuck the leafs on the walls of the area and theyr'e growing into each other... Gotta push them inside when I close the door.. I hope they do start to slow down on bushing and focus upwards and to fat up.

BTW - In the pic update I posted do you guys see any defeciency? and on my next watering.. should I go 1.5ml\L BioBloom, 1.5ml\L Alg-A-Mic, 1ml\L BioGrow, 2.5ml\L BioHeaven, 0.5ml\L TopMax.
does that sound right? ph'ed to 6.2 is a good number?

will give pic update tommorow to compare for today's last update.
waiting for some lovely comments and good advice.

This post ain't dead. keep it alive.. pic update + important questions.

Hey fella's.. its been good time in the garden.. switched the bulb to the hps.. the tallest plant is already well above 62cm.. smallest is 53ish.. or so... anyway i was thinking of lst bending the tallest plant top cola, is that a good idea? anywho..

watering question before the pics:

Untill now since the beginning of my grow-op, I have fertelised gradually increasing with every watering untill the last three which I started to slow down heavily on nutes.. latest watering was this morning and plants seemed to react well.. the tallest one almost reached the cooltube while I wasn't lookin'.. anyway.. I thought next watering should be: 8ml of aerated tap water ph'd to 6.2-6.35 with 4ml TopMax, 2ml BioGrow, 5ml BioBloom, 5ml Alg-A-Mic, 10ml BioHeaven.

latest watering was somewhat similliar and I got a runoff at 6.51 pH.. [for those who cant remember I work in Light Mix soil

anyways regarding stats:
Climate:
Lights on: 22c-26.5c RH:35%-50%
Lights off: 18c-[23] [With A\C heating] RH: 30%-45%

pH Runoff: last watering was 6.51 and before that was 6.63

Picture Update:

Pic1 is the leaf defeciency going on one of the plants.. the others two are still showing MINOR signs of a cal\mag defeciency and were treated last watering with half tsp per half a liter as a foliar spray.

what is this new def I see that is showing in this pic.. its only one about 3 leafs on the same area of the same plant..

the other two pics are just nice shots from today before the bulb switch and after.. tommorow will bring new growth and pictures that will be uploaded if this update is appreciated alill'

cheers.. waiting for comments..

yeah, i'd bend and tie it before i'd cut it.

Before you decide what to feed next time, lets see if we can figure out what's going on with those leaves first. You said the leaves with the spots are only on one part of the plant. Which part? Also, are the leaf tips curling at all? If so, up or down?

If your plant is growing into the light then doing LST is a good idea. Don't try and bend it all at once. Just till you feel resistance. Give it a day or two and then do a little more till you eventually have it where you want.

 

[~Cupcake~]

Well.. Regarding the spots.. I have the ol' yellowing of leafs you remember from older pics still going with some darkening spots on some leafs.. talking about 5 leafs approx slightly affected per plant.. usually on the lower part of the plant.. the defeciency shown in the latest pic update is another thing.. totally different from the last ''issue'' I had.. anyway they are taking up alot of water.. so thinkin' bout nexts feeding would be a smart thing :}..


Anyways the tips of the leafs curl upward\downard with bright yellowing on the tips of the leafs.. but that shows almost completely on new growth and near growing tips.. which by what I learnt thus far means over-fertelizing.. but I heck no idea what I am feeding too much of... since Muddy warned me of N def I slowed drastically on dosage of my ferts and especially with N concentrated ferts.

p.s: its important to make sure its clear that on all my plants most top growth is lookin' healthy except for the yellow bright tips of leafs that curl abit. hmm.. tommorow will give a better post about what is their current status as I am so high and tired right now.. thats why I dig aswell.. ugh well.. gotta sleep.. ugh.. so yeah.. all the yellowing and spots on the leafs are shown only in older leafs\lower parts of the plant.
