New Grower The Killing Fields (aka My First Grow)

Day 50 Update with pics

Happy Memorial Day!!!

Last Tuesday, I got a Blackstar 240uv and hung it up in my tent. Had to remove 1 of my 200w CFL's due to heat build up. Tent is now lit by 1 Blackstar and 1 200w CFL. Hope it makes a positive impact.

Last Friday I watered everyone with 1/2tsp of Grow Big, 1/2tsp of Tiger Bloom, 1/2tsp of Cal-Mag and 1tsp of Big Bloom. Water went in at 6.5 and run off tested at 6.2 and 6.3 over the 4 girls.
Pretty happy with that.

While I had them out for pictures today, I noticed the the SAS and the NL were both light as a feather. Mixed up some water and fed those 2 again this morning.
They had 1/2tsp of Grow Big, 1tsp of Tiger Bloom and 1/2tsp of Cal-Mag all ph'd to 6.5.
The front photo of the NL did not come out, so enjoy the overhead.
NL Auto

Super Automatic Sativa

Vertigo

60 Day Wonder(only one shot of her too)


By adding the Blackstar and removing one of the 200w CFL's, my temps have stabilized to the point where I can now set the thermostat on the AC to 76 (my normal summer setting) and hold temps in the tent to a daily high of 82f and a low of 73f. RH is running 65% in the early AM, but dropping throughout the day to a low around 40% late afternoon.

Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

BigBuddah back online! I thought we had lost ya bro. Glad to see you.
Honestly, I can't wait for my second grow. I'm sure there will be problems, but I think that "helpless" feeling will be gone and I'll be able to recognize problems earlier and take corrective action sooner.
After all, it's just a plant.

Hey hey, stash. Nah mate I'm still here. This is my online home now. Just been utterly swamped lately but it's all calming down a bit now.

Funny thing, though.. I find it hard to reconcile what you're saying above with your overall attitude. I can't remember ever seeing one man go through so much shite and stil be there smiling throughout it all. And, by the way, still managing to get buds forming on the girls!! Fucking amazing man. No joke.. if I'd been in your shoes I'd have been crying like a pussy all over the forum and threatening to set fire to my growing gear already!

I think you deserve a reward for your resilience so if you have a safe addy in the UK, PM it to me and I'll post you out an SAS, an Automatic and a Delicious La Musa seed for your next grow.

Sorry mate.. I discovered this Swedish Pear Cider today and it's so it's nice like having an orgasm in your mouth. And I'm getting pretty rotten on it so forgive me my transgressions

I'm more than a touch pissed on Mexican beer right now, too.
Just send Eliza when you're done. That would be right about NOW!
Cheers

Hey Stash! Happy Memorial Day!

Question....why does the SAS look so pale in the 2nd pic? Is that normal? I'm very curious about that strain, I might grow them beans out as I love sativas.

Oh and 4get all those other beers you mentioned...down south, all you need is a few pitchers of Lone Star and you are golden! :howdy:

Cheers!

Alter-
I used a different pre-set on the camera for the 60 day wonder and one of the SAS shots. Her color is like the close up shot.
Lone Star longnecks, ice cold aren't bad, but I get a headache after just 2 of them. Same with Corona and Miller Lite.
And, there are a lot of good beers in the world, I want to try them all.

Hahaha, Corona makes me piss like a race horse! My personal favs are Dos Equis and Guinness! I don't drink much but when I do, I like em dark!

Eh.. hang on.. you said "pissed" to refer to drunk.. are you a Brit in the states or just the coolest American I've met on a forum that adjusts the word for the native Englanders who don't mean angry?

Hahaha, Corona makes me piss like a race horse!

But does it make you hung like a racehorse? That's all we fellas care about
