New grow!!

TIG · 02-24-2010, 05:57 PM

Hey guys, just got some seeds today care of hempdepot.ca (wrote a review on them in the seedbank reviews if anyone is interested).

I will be growing 2 strains. Joey Weed's Apollo 11 and Sugarblossom.
The apollo 11 is a C99 hybrid and flowers in about 7 weeks supposedly. The sugarblossom is a white widow hybrid and flowers in 8-9 weeks. Both are said to grow short and bushy and are easy to work with.

I have a 600w hps right now that i've used in the past but was thinking of using flouros for veg now. I've seen a lot of success with it on yahooka. Any thoughts? my grow area is about 46 inches square so I can't fit 48 inch flouros.. What sizes are people using?

Pictures will follow! does everybody use a proxy service for pictures? I live in the states but do have a care growers liscense..

good luck.

also... you probably should have put this in the canna-blogs section

TIG · 02-24-2010, 06:05 PM

why?

Praise Jah · 02-24-2010, 06:14 PM

well... if you intend to do periodic updates that where this type of thing generally goes.

stoneric · 02-24-2010, 07:22 PM

Compact flouros. Light systems using them are less than 2ft. Mine is 19x13x7 inches from Hydrofarm.

Update

Plants are currently 15 days from sprout. out of 10 seeds, all ten germed. 2 however failed to sprout. I repotted them 2 days ago and finally got my M/H coversion bulb so they are loving that.

They look great they are coming along nicely

toni montana · 03-17-2010, 10:22 PM

and good luck and keep us dated

Jenna_Grows · 03-18-2010, 06:54 AM

Nice!! They look great.. Good and healthy. Good luck with your grow..

We've grown A11, and a white widow cross.. i think.. they run together in my head.

Looking forward to seeing your ladies grow..

farmergiles · 03-18-2010, 05:15 PM

I like the shape of the leaves. On both.

BTW, when you say

do you mean

.

TIG · 03-18-2010, 06:33 PM

Haha yes i do FG, that would be the welder in me.

so far I love them both, quick growers. the a-11 is especially hardy, it doesn't seem to care about much. the sugarblossom doesn't like to get too dry and didn't like my well water too well. luckily they opened up the irrigation ditch so now they all get adjusted river water and they love it. again the the a-11 didn't really care about the well water. tough buggers.

...wait

yoyoMaster · 03-19-2010, 05:58 PM

They look very nice and green, with a good sprout ratio too. Unless I missed it, what is your soil mix?

they are in about a 60% Nulife organic potting mix. I like it because it has mychorrizae in it. 30% is sunshine germ mix, its mostly peat with some vermiculite and a little lime for ph. 10% perlite for aeration and drainage.

TIG · 03-21-2010, 04:14 PM

Training started today. am I doing it right? never LSTed before. I heard the grow tip had to be below the stem for it do be done right, is this true?

thanks guys

I would have waited a little longer so when I first tied her off the main cola was no lower than the top of the container and yet was lower than the next set of leaves. Your limited to how far you can pull her down if you have to pull the main cola inside the container while your tying her off to the rim. She will outgrow that situation in no time though.

bubbler211 · 03-21-2010, 05:10 PM

the set up you now have looks sweet,however you will get more bud with more light

TIG · 03-21-2010, 05:47 PM

a 600w is about all that space can handle heat wise bubbler.

stoneric that did occur to me but I figured I would get it pointed in the right direction before the stem at the base got thicker and less flexible. of course if my dumb ass had just put more soil in to begin with, I'd be set.

stoneric · 03-21-2010, 07:10 PM

Yeah, I didn't want to be a prick and say anything about the soil.

TIG · 03-25-2010, 05:34 PM

update

I don't question the benefits of LST but I sure do miss the natural shape of the plant haha
