silverdelange Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone. First grow, a lot to learn. Planted three bag seed Durban Poison seeds, and one Gorilla Glue from CB Seeds. Planted them in the garage, made a small space available that will be extended later on. Had no heating source, so the little guys were severely stunted early on due to cold. Soil used - Freedom Farms. Lighting is a King Led 1000 watt. Reflective Material is a panel with emergency blanket glued on, and an emergency blanket glued to the wall. Going to close the other sides later on. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Pics below, please comment on plant health. I have not used any nutrients yet, planning to use Biobizz Grow when the plants are a bit bigger, and Bloom later on. Will the early cold and stunting cause hermies? Diary. Glass 29 July 2020. Paper Towel 31 July 2020. Started Germinating 02 August 2020. Prepped soil 02 August 2020. Planted in soil 04 August 2020. Planted Gorilla Glue but damaged the taproot. Lesson learned. Switched light on 04 August 2020. 24 hour cycle. First two breaks soil, both Durban Poison 09 August 2020. Gorilla Glue with broken taproot breaks soil 11 August 2020. Still on 24 hour cycle. Changed to 18/6 12 August 2020. Fourth one breaks soil. Durban Poison 13 August 2020. Pictures are from today 25 August. Plants only starting to put on some weight now due to warmer weather.

Fridge Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hi @silverdelange, the plants look happy and healthy to me. I see you've put them straight into quite big pots. I would have chosen a smaller pot for the first stages of growth. Watering can be a bit tricky when starting with bigger pots, so be careful when watering as it's easy to overwater. Other than that I think you should be fine. I'm an outdoor grower, so can't tell you much about lights but 1000 watts is plenty. Happy growing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdelange Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 Thanks a lot. I will definitely start in smaller pots next time. Watering is difficult yes. Just glad the warmer weather is helping them now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdelange Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Been a few days since my last post. The temps are being good to the little ones. Is it too early to start with Biobizz Biogrow? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGG Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hey Silver, I think you in soil if I'm right, just let them be till they show signs that they need extra soil. If they look healthy just water them. Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateNoob Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Nice one... Will be following along... I must state though, and sorry for the bad news - The light you have has a true wattage of about 185w from what I've seen online. It does have a nice spectrum though.

silverdelange Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Another week gone by, putting on some good weight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afternoon blazer Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 They looking healthy @silverdelange. I think you should start some Nutez. Give them a boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdelange Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Another week another update. Plants are doing well. I hope to see the sex in the coming days. Started with Biobizz Biogrow today. I am somewhat cautious on how much to use. Some say 2ml, others say 1ml per litre. Sticking to 1ml per litre for now. I welcome any advice on this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Looks good, I assume you've gone up to 2ml/L now? You could slowly start to increase to 3ml and then shortly after 4ml - I found no need to go above 4ml/L during veg - but that was with fish mix. During stretch (so from when you flip the plants to flower) you can run a low dose of grow and then start introducing bloom. You then stop the grow completely after 3 weeks and run just bloom until harvest. You will always use way more bloom than grow or fish mix. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdelange Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Weekly update. Still unable to tell the sex on them, I might be a bit impatient.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverdelange Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Time for the weekly update. These plants are growing like crazy but I am still unable to sex them. Anyway, to me they look in incredible condition. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These plants are growing like crazy but I am still unable to sex them. Anyway, to me they look in incredible condition. Keep on eye on the tallest of the bunch - males have a tendency to start stretching quickly (1.5"+ in a day) vs females during pre-flowering And I agree they looking very good, keep up the good work Edited October 11, 2020 by Psylecta 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverdelange Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Weekly update. Will have to take them off the crates because they are getting a bit out of hand. Flipped them over to 12 / 12 on Friday, so hopefully they will show me their goodies soon. The Gorilla Glue is destined for feminized breeding, so it had it's first shot of STS on Friday as well.

silverdelange Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Ok. Time for an update and requesting some input. All these below numbered Orange 1 according to me are females. All the ones below marked Red 2 are males. I sprayed STS on all of them just in case a female slips through. No nanners on the females yet, but their growth did slow down quite a bit. The males did not slow down at all. Just about 12 days since I first sprayed, hoping to see some sacks soon. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
