New Grower 1st grow: 60 Day Wonder

Hey TX Buds i did run nutes but it was a once a week thing for my ladies. I actually had 2 small NYPD from nirvanna in there, not hte best decision but you live and you learn. and def the more holes the better, I wish i took a pic of this root bound system it smelled and def stunted the growth probably throughout the entire flower.

it was a closet setup also with cfls prob around 200 true watts as for watering it was constantly at the beginning because i placed both seeds on opposite sides of the circle. once the ladies got a little bigger it was only running about 4 times a day for 15 min at a time. they seemed to love it and by then the roots were in the res and it was being topped off with ph'ed water daily. around a half gallon to a gallon. try not to let it splash, think about a cover over top of the ring once your girl is a little bigger, salt deposits seem to show around the base of the plant and some of the lower leaves, its a good idea to prune that area once its tall enough. and try and keep the pump running as much as possible, nothing worse than oxygen deprived water for your root system.

Ive seen people who have motherd a plant in these systems, there also great because there squares getting the 6pot system with a res was going to be an upgrade for me but soil seemed to be a cheaper simpler way, once i get more expeirence with hydro/soiless ill get back into it. Ill look for a couple pics on my phone to show how they were runnin. :bong::smokebuds:

Hey Mclovin, thanks for the advise bud. Apreesh.. :smokebuds:

I suppose that means I only have "96 true watts" in there now. I have (3) GE Daylight 150w/32w. 32w x 3 =96w, right? Their about 5800 Lumen total. Think I need more?

I was going put back the (2) 2700K 200w/44w = "88 true watts" in about 2 more weeks & they are about 7600 Lumen total... whick would be about 184 true watts & 13,400 Lumen for 1 plant!

The only thing I may do is go get (3) 2700K 23w, instead of using the (3) 6700K I have now... we'll see what happens...

:smoke:

:peace: out
 
As long as you have a good air flow and a good exhaust you'll be good with as many watts as you please but 184 true watts is a good number as long as they are placed well :dance:
 
You'll need one of these eventually. It measures the amount of nutrients in your solution.
If you run into problems and need help the first questions anyone will ask is "what's your PH", and "what's your PPM/EC".

PPM = Parts Per Million
EC= Electro Conductivity

Both tell you the strength of you nutrient solution.
 
Day 14

Day 14 ~ I know, I know... I didn't listen on the nutes... :no:

Was slammed at work today :finger: stupid weather!! So no morning/afternoon post....
:bong:

7 days between rezz change Sun to Sun is what I decided until she's alittle older... maybe 2 more weeks. Also stayed on top of Ph every day and kept rezz topped off. :thumbs:

Changed rezz yesterday, ph'd @ 5.5 :thumbs:. Also gave her 1/4 strength nutes again but "not' 2 drops of cal-mag like last week... :no:.....you guessed it!!

...just about every leaf has signs of nute burn today... I was actually giving her a little less than a 1/4 strenght via syringe...

Sorry guys, live and learn... :shrug:I was way to eager depite all the advice I was given...next rezz change I will cut the nutes down to 1/8 as recommended!

Here's a few pics from few min ago...
 
it's cool... we been there... excitement... i still don't listen sometimes... gotta have innovators and testers, right? as long as you get up after the fall and help someone else up too later. :) prob. will bounce right back
 
Day 15

Day 15 ~ She's coming along...

Good Morning/Afternoon, where ever you are!

I cant help but think she needs more light, I will probably go grab 2 more Daylight 6700K 150W pretty soon after work... was looking @ another 60DW @ 15 days and wow.. there is quite a bit of difference in the two pics..

View attachment 166728 The other 60DW @ 15 days..:thumbs::clap:

The rest are mine from today.... Day 15

yours look very similar actually close to the same growth. it actually looks like yours is working on another set of leaves. But I dont think anyone can argue with more lights. BRING EM ONN:buds:
 
Lookin good TX, I agree can't go wrong with more light :group:
 
Day 15 ~ Evening

Day 15 ~ Evening :joint:
:bong:

She's looking lil' better tonight, I just topped her rezz with ph'd 5.8 water :thumbs:


:peace: out :pimp:
 
Coming along Nicely!!!
Can't wait to see how it finishes already!!

Is there a way you can dial back the drip ring until it doesn't splash the plant?
