Free Comparative Grow from The Vault

They are in hydro so they always start out really compact, then watch out cause they will shoot up like a rocket.

does anyone else have theirs in a 5 gallon pot? mine is and she is about 2.5 feet wide and tall. bushy as hell. all i did to her was trim bottom fan leaves right when she threw pistils. all the ones i'm seeing dont really compare to what mine look like, but

@paddler 54 and @Johnny snake looking good guys. Real tight nodal spacing paddler, they're gonna be bushy for sure.
What led are you using johnny? Looks like we have similar set up. I'm in a 120 x 120 cm tent with two Mars hydro reflectors 96 x3
Hopefully I'll get some fresh pics up in the morning,
It's sleepy dragon time for me now

i had my alien under 2 marshydro 300w. one was the 5w chip, other was 3w. the alien loved it. absolutely loved it. but i had to move girls around and now the alien is under 1 300w (5w), 150w led, 150w hps. pretty much surrounded by light. absolutely loving it.

Well, another seed down, plus a Fantasmo Express bean. This one sprouted after about 3 days in soil, only to reveal it was chewed through by gnats or aphids. I don't have aphids anywhere, so I'm guessing that even though fungus gnats "only" eat dead organic matter, they make exceptions for fresh taps. Either that or they did it after the sprouts died for whatever reason. Both of them sprouted just to die and separate at soil level. They weren't growing right to begin with, longest germination ever - and then I had a White and Bubbly seed crack and begin to sprout just to stop dead in it's tracks and die for no apparent reason. I'm guessing my tap water is suddenly poisonous ? Maybe too much Chlorine or Fluoride in it?

So what am I doing to fix it? I killed a finishing plant with a bunch of dead veg on it (summer heat wave damage) that I believe to be the Gnats primary food source and habitat, As the infestation is contained to only one of my two grow closets, everything in there had to go. I dumped 20 gallons of soil in the trash and completely emptied the closet. Then I treated everything with this stuff below. To top it all off my HPS ballast took a crap as well. I still have one last Alien x Triangle, just gotta pick up some soil tomorrow. To mourn the loss of all those things, I bought my first DWC setup and a digital PH and TDS/Temp tester tonight. Everything will be here by Friday or Saturday ! Sorry about the tech difficulty. I was so hype about this strain - Distilled water from here out. No more freaking fungus gnats. Thank the Cannabis Gods my other plants are alright !

I'm no expert grower but og kush in whatever form most of the time will have a lemon flavor ,grown mostly og and kush strains so I am pretty familiar with the family tree of kush ,the lemon Thai and chemdawg add the citrus terps to the og ,both of these ogs originally are off the sfv cut of og kush .

Mine will be in a 5 gallon air pot when done with this current kush grow waiting on my bro robbio we are putting ours out in January.

sounds to me like your soil is too wet. the seedlings dying off is called damping off. its caused by a fungus. fungus nats also like wet soil. let your soil dry out for three or four days. water seedlings with a minimum of water the first 10 days till they build roots. I water near the seedling with 2 -4 ounces of water then wait for the soil to look dry. I give them 6-8 ounces next, and spray the surface of the soil enough to make it slightly damp. After the 10 days, water regularly with water equal to 10 to 15% of the soil volume, or about 12-18 ounces of water per gallon. I just grew plants in 1 gallon pots of soil that hit up to 43" tall!
Since I started watering this way, I've no problems and very nice grows. Its worth a try!

Ok wrong quote sorry for confusion tetra 9 ,critical kush can kinda do that to me lol.
