New Grower HD Grower Journal ( 1st grow)

[HD Grower]

Well Day 43 for the gal's..Watering day,plain with 3ml cal/mag..The one Snowryder it being a bitch and didn't want to flower..So after some research I decided to pull her out yesturday and sit her in a dark closet for 24 hours...I'm told that should trick her into buding..We shall see..For the others, they are looking just plain grand in my eyes...In fact the other Snowryder may get one more feeding of nutes on friday then a good flushing to finish her days..Two weeks is a guess..Then to dry and test her out..wink

Day 45 Update

Woke to snow again..Just have love the weather here...A couple thigs going on..I sprayed the gals last eveing with Flower Kiss..And this morning I seen some slight burn on the upper leaves at the tips..Thinking it maybe from the water and light burn..Hope so at least..

But after seeing that I decided to cut my nutes in half for todays feeding..Three quarts each gal got..(Tigar Bloom 5ml..Big Bloom 8ml..Kangaroot 3ml..Cal/Mag 5ml..PH up 5ml)..tested the soil before at around 6PH and after feeding 6.5PH..

Took a few photo's SnowRyder




Quick Ones

Hey man, that snow rider bud is looking fat and frosty and delicious I think I'm getting a case of bud envy. Looks like the pistils are still all white, so I'm thinking she's gonna need more than two weeks but I'm speaking from inexperience :dunno:

Plants look beautiful and healthy, you are doing an amazing job with them :tiphat:

Thanks CappY....The same here.Not sure how long till that gal is ready..The pistils are starting to carmal up,just cant see it in the photo's..But the leaves are still really nice and green..But I'm still going to flush them this Sunday or Monday..Been doing some reading and if that burn isn't from the spray it could be "N" tox...There is a slight clawing to some of the leaves also now that I researched more..Can't really hurt them I wouldn't think..

Howdy all...Day 47 for the gal's..did some farming this morning..Flushed them all with three gallons of water with 10ml of SledgeHammer,and topped it off with 2 quarts of sweetness and 5ml of Big Bloom...But I forgot to check my PH. Its been hours now and I just checked the soil PH its at 6..Damn..Hope it will be ok for a day or so..I'll have to keep an eye on them..Like I wouldn't do that anyhow..LOL..They are looking Happy to this point..I just have take my time..

Going to start my next(2nd) grow here soon..Got my beans the other day..I'll be try'n

2x Auto Purple Amnesia from Short Stuff
2x AutoBlackberry Kush from Dutch Passion

Got some Smart Pot on the way to try out also..I believe my soil mix will be 2 parts HF, 1 part perlite, Fill the pots half and spread some lime about a half cup. Then fill the pots to the top..On the first grow my HF 's PH drop'd to 5.5 after two or so weeks..Hope the lime slows that from happening..

Hey pal , I ain't sure about your idea of a layer of unmixed lime ,I think you would be better mixing it in the soil all the way through, the way you describe making your pots up them roots are going to hit that layer and freak out ,good luck with new seeds

After lots of reading around here, I think halving your nutes was extreme. Seems a lot of pro growers recommended slowly upping the nutrients until you see a bit of burn and then back off slightly for best results.

Day 50 update

Howdy AFN..

Day 50 here on the farm..The gals are looking fine after a good flushing three days ago..Feed the Quick Ones full nutes of nutes plus some sweetener...





One of the Snowryders isn't going bloom well at all.I probly messed it up somehow No Biggie..But the other SnowRdyer is looking awesome..After that flush three days ago,I only gave her water and a little sweetener..I figure she might be harvested in two weeks if I'm lucky and didn't want to nute her..



Any in put would be helpful
