New Grower Equatorial 2.0

I must admit @Equatorial you training is impeccable. Exceptionally well done sir I tip my hat :toke: they really are going to stretch into nice and wide canopy's... I was just rolling a doob ready for taking the dog for a walk and I was studying your girls and your handy work, I just had to say something... top job.

Wow...thats high praise considering who its from! Are you sure you weren't looking at another journal lol? Just wanted to make sure that doobie didn't play a number on ya lol!

Thank you very much! You made my day!

Lets hope I keep it up!

Nothing like the basketball players you have in Dabberville!

Your presence will hopefully encourage my girls to grow like yours! Thanks for the encouragement bro!

Oops..I did it again! I'm being way too careless this grow. Being lazy with details and perhaps even feeling conceited!

Below is poor Amnesia this morning. I broke an uppermost top cola! Few mins later, broke another one next to her. Ripped the first one off....felt a pain deep inside. The next one I left it cos was lazy to move it. I did not even remove the twisty tie. That cola will be dead when i come back from work. Well, looks like the FIM became a topping but the one ripped off was a beaut!

On a positive note...the others are doing great.

Defoliated them all and sprayed them a little.

I like the mental journey and growth of this grow. Its making me understand and mature more as a grower and a person. The rash and brash me just a year ago would not have understood.

Growing our plants may seem like a repetition. Before growing, I could not understand why people would do the same boring thing again and again, while still feeling the fun and excitement? I thought its purely for the harvest and nothing else.

Now I'm beginning to get it. Its the uncertainty that provides the excitement and fun! Plan as you may and be prepared with as many gadgets as you want but it'll never be foolproof. Its a live plant grown from seed. Nuff said.

It builds character and helps me see myself from another standpoint. I'm starting to feel ashamed at times for how I feel.

Take this grow for instance. I planned as best a lazy newb could and proceeded with the grow. It did not go well at all. I had bad seeds (i think). I broke main branches and budsites on all plants. What I did to some of them was just horrible. Not gonna recap all but the old me would just feel terrible.

This is where I feel life imitates growing and has helped me see my weaknesses, and how much I really suck? Like in real life, we all plan and implement, then hope for the best. But shit always happens. Its not how much shit we get, but how we deal with those shit that matters. The right attitude and character will triumph over any shit we encounter. It will result in a person that does not quit easy, both in growing and in life!

I also feel calmer and pretty impressed with my own change. When I see anything wrong with the grow, I just take it easy. When shit happens, no use crying over spilt milk. No use blaming yourself and feel terrible. Just get over it and see what you can do, moving on? It'll probably not be as bad as you think. See? I told you growing philosophies imitates life!

Thanks for indulging my rant! Love u guys and happy growing!

well said that man...

Seems that the girls are making me update much more frequently now.

Once again, the 3 larger girls are demanding to be fed after 2 days. Especially Diesel.

Fed them 1g per litre MC with 0.15g per litre Mother Monarch Bloom (MMB) and 0.45g per litre of SC, along with my usual additives of Liquid Silicon and Mangrove Wood Vinegar to PH.

Before feeding, I realized pretty significant light stress on Diesel and SH. I increased lights an inch or two higher. The 3000K board remained at 300W. I suspect that even though both boards are about 3.5 inches apart, there are hot spots in the middle that may cause the light stress. Of course, this may simply mean that this strain can't take as much as the other 2. Regardless, I dimmed the 4000K board from 200W to 180W. I figured that with increase of height and dimmed second board should do it.

Pics right after I fed, dimmed/ increased height of lights. You can see Diesel droop pretty bad

As you can see, much better but still light stressed. My theory seems to be correct. The stress signs are mostly on areas near the center hot spot between both boards.

Still only stress signs on Diesel and SH. I dimmed the 4000K board further down to 150W. So 300W from 3K board and 150W from 4K board. With my fan...using less than 500W so far in total. Before week 5, was using less than 280W, starting from only 100W. This grow has already seen electricity savings pretty significantly with QBs. Even with me trying to use as much as the plants allows me.

Would you just look at the bud sites on Purple? Just beautiful!

Excited about first MMB feed on them. Pretty sure they will take it just fine!

real nice plants :thumbsup: nice rant :smoking:we can learn from others mistakes,but we will all break a branch from time to time,visit the room or tent twice the same day and overwater,forget to visit the room and underwater.beginner mistakes,accidents happen,wrong choice,misdiagnosis,and just being a stoner inchange of a garden can be dangerous enough.for some of us the perfect grow is like a perfect round of golf or the likes,may never happen but we can dream.
you doin great :pass:
:pighug:
 
Update @Day 41 for Diesel and Lemon. Day 39 for Purple. Day 32 for SH and Day 23 for Amnesia. Accuracy is +\- 1 day.

Fed Diesel, Lemon and Purple 1g per litre MC and 0.45g per litre SC with 0.18g per litre MMB along with usual additives.

Fed SH with 1g per litre MC and 0.4g per litre SC along with usual additives to PH.

Left Amnesia alone. She’ll be fed tomorrow at lower dose. Most likely at 0.75g per litre MC.

Diesel is still largest and it seems she takes the lead every 2 days by drooping and reminding me to feed.

Even SH and Amnesia is starting to hate me less!

Looks like I’ll be just in time to join the General Grow Battle. I expect the 3 large girls to be chopped in 5-6 weeks max. I’ll be germing within this week. By the time I chop the 3 large girls, the grow battle girls should be just big enough to take their places under the lights.

OMG, Equatorial, you're already this far along your next grow?!?!?
Are you smoking an oz every few days?!?!
And they're also going to be monsters.
You've really got the touch, hombre.
Keep them firing along!
