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

[~Cupcake~]

By the weeks you mention is weeks after sprout right?



Any way I can nurse my babies to be stronger?? is water amended with oxygen really makes a difference in growth\yield?

 

[Muddy]

I count my weeks from the time they are put into germ, the same way the seed banks do.

Potency is mostly determined by genetics. Oxygenated water will provide more oxygen to the roots and can increase overall growth, and thereby, yield.

Any1 can tell me what to expect in growing snowryder in 7L Square pots using 400w? if grown properly that is..


anywho im going 24\0 for the next week for sure..


For some odd reason my album got deleted.. will reupload later on..

The SnowRyders look awesome today except that I noticed on 2 leaves of S#1 and on one leaf of S#2 some yellow dots.. it seems to me like water with feed damage with the light shining on them.. I didn't see this happen on new growth or other leaves, any suggestions?

ADDED x2 32w 6500k CFL's hanging 8CM above the canopy [ that includes with my 400mh at 25cm]

Today my bulb looks wierd.. it has like burnt brown on the bottom of the white part of the bulb and when I turned it on after fixing the CFL's in it didnt light up immediatley and when I look it had an electric wave visible in the bulb.. than after a minute it started to turn on normally.. but it did take time.. is it normal?


Need suggestions on making my grow room more humid..

CFLs have an internal ballast build into them. It does take a few minutes for them to full light up. Often the intensity is not as strong until they do.

I like Snowryder and have done several grows of it outdoors. Not the most stable strain, showing about 3 different phenos. But it's a pretty descent producer and a good indica stone. Under a 400 watter I'd expect you should get 30-40 grams, maybe more with good growing techniques.

30-40g drid good conditions a plant? remember im using 7L Square pots. is that a good estimate? hows the smoke? taste and last? :} would love information.. thanks a bunch.. i just got my hands on a fill for my personal stash. some wierd cross of NL#5 - with some sort of widow. but it has some seeds in it.. still tastes THE SAME as amsterdam NL buds... also looks and smells the same... still great stuff..


EDIT:

Very important questions!:

1.
I just noticed a wierd thing about SnowRyder#2 [which is the biggest and most developed atm ] his stem is "Breaking" open on one side and showes greener stem, is this normal? does it means my plant thickens or I have A serious issue?

2.
I went to the shop today and the salesman told me I was using too high pH on my waterings [6.6-6.8] was what I gave them till now, he told me to use 6.0-6.2 since im using soil... anywho... is that true?

3.
also bought a humidifier with a timer that turns for 15min an hour is that good? it is in the side of the cabinet and blowing the cold steams onto the intake fan that is directed to the plants so basically the steam is going to the fan and blown towards the plants. is that good?

4. my temps are 23c-26.5c constant is that good? what is ideal? where am I starting to affect my growth\yield negativley?

5. tommorow I am feeding with 1L of water each [7L pots] with:
2ml\L BioGrow
2ml\L BioHeaven
0.5ml\L Alg-A-Mic.

Water Amended with oxygen stone with air pump pH'ed to 6.2, is that correct and good to do? is that enough water for 3 lill' snowryders in them 7L pots? [1L Each]

sorry for all the questions, IDK if it is even appropriate to ask so many in my log but.. oh well.. I hope you guys help me get my goal of a successful first grow!.

Give a Thumbs up for a huge pic update! =]

P.S During editing of this post I got sober from all the Northern Lights I've been tokin' on tonight and just realized how much I digged you all in the head.. sorry 'bout that.. but oh well.. were all stoners.

That guess might be a little high for that size pot, maybe 25 - 30 grams. But again, a lot depends on your growing ability and the techniques you use. Snowryder has a nice fruity smell and taste. It's a heavy indica stone and pretty long lasting. It's a good smoke for at night when you want to relax and kick back.

To answer your questions:

1. Are you referring to the stem at the very bottom of the plant? If so, yes they sometimes do split the outer layer as they get thicker. Sort of like a snake shedding it skin. Nothing to worry about.

2. Sorry, don't remember what soil you are using nor did I see it in the thread. If you are using a true soil medium, then around 6.5 is good. If it's a soil less mix like Pro Mix or Sunshine #4, then what the salesman recommended it good.

3. What was your relative humidity before you bought the humidifier? Unless you live in a very dry climate a humidifier usually isn't necessary. As long as the RH is below 50% you should be okay. A little lower in flower is better. Less chance of mold or bud rot.

4. The ideal temperature is 79 degrees, or 26 C. As long as you don't get below about 70 or above 85 you should be okay.

5. Give them enough water so that you get some to run out the bottom of the pot. In the 3 gallon pots I use that is about 2/3 gallon.

Big photo update in this post coming shortly!

Your'e gonna be proud guys its going good so far..

P.S my cold humidifier is set to 15m an hour with tap water.. since the water evaporates and really counts little as by absorption by the plants.. i didn't think pH'in it to 6.3 wasnt necessery, what do you say?

and also another small question.. i just moved my 400 MH to 50cm above the canopy with the 2 32W CFL's hang above aswell. to give them alittle stretch, is this a good idea? i want them to get a tad higher atm with their nodes spacings.. is this a good way to practice this?

my yellow dots, rusting in the tips of like 1-2 leafs a plant, its not covered yellow\rust its just some small parts on just certain leafs.. ill update a pic once I update all pics i shot.

Thumbs up for pic-update!:thumbs:

Yes, raising or lowering your lights is the easiest way to control node spacing. IMO 1" is optimal. No, the water in the humidifier shouldn't need to be pHed. What was your RH with out the humidifier and what is it now with the humidifier?
