New Grower Vegasbear's Noob Growing Adventures

Day 44.

Same as yesterday -

3/4 Gal each RO + 5 ml/gal CalMag, chilled to 60F and aerated for five hours.

They'll get a full feeding at 50% nutes tomorrow.

The plants seem to love the aerated water.

Day 45.

All girls got a good trim, and 3/4 Gal RO with 8ml BB, 5ml GB, 1ml TB, 6ml CalMag

This is the slow girl who has been incredibly bushy. Shes about ready to get flowing. I hope.

And after everyone got a haircut and moved around.

Day 46

Same feed as yesterday, will do RO/CalMag the next two days.

They're definitely still stretching!

I was exhausted after a 17hr day yesterday, so here's my delayed update.

Day 47.

Plants got 3/4 gal RO with 8ml BB, 5ml GB, 1ml Tiger Bloom, and 7ml CalMag per gallon.

Pruned a few leaves. They're still growing upwards and I had to move the lights up 4".

Some glamor shots:

Can really see the trichs coming in if you zoom in on this last one.

Day 48.

RO and CalMag only.

Day 52.

The short fat one is finally, actually, for real flowering (about time).

Feeding 9ml BB, 6ml GB, 1.25ml TB, 5ml CalMag per gallon daily.

Second tent (2x4) came in today.

Popped some Homegrown Gelato Fem seeds in water and h2o2 with some root stimulator to bathe for 24hrs.

They will go into Rooters and into the propagator tomorrow and I will start a grow thread on that one - unless it's not a faux pas to keep grows to one thread? I will be experimenting with photos on this grow, and intend to clone off the first run and maybe grow a mother plant. We'll see.

Beans came out of their bath and went into Rapid Rooters in the propagator. I flipped the RRs over and made a hole in the other side so they would stand up on my tray, and covered the holes with pieces torn from the bottom.

This is my first time using one of these, so we'll see how it goes!

I am going to pull clones from these before flipping them to flower and the best will be picked to grow a mother plant which I will be trying tor bonsai method on to keep it under control.

New veg setup is a Mars Hydro 2x4 grow tent, with two Mars Hydro TS600 lights and four 5gal DWC bubble buckets. Plants will be moved to 5gal recirculating DWC buckets when it's time to flip to 12/12. Much like my current auto grow, this will be my first attempt at a photo grow.

Day 54.

Watered and fed the girls, rotated them a little bit.

 

[Vegasbear87]

Two are out, and two are pushing up. That was fast.

 

[Vegasbear87]

One hasn't germed, and I don't have any fem backups to go in its place for my fourth bucket. Kind of bummed - I guess I'll cover that bucket with a lid or something.
