New Grower 2nd grow: Flowering Dutch passion and Ms0006 (with HPS to be added this week for supplement!)

[redler]

Hey all,

This is my second grow, just at the start of flower. My last grow went OK, only ended up with about 1.6oz off each plant from this grow:https://www.autoflower.org/f44/first-grow-dutch-passion-seeds-gn-ms0006-21690.html#post416454

There's 7 plants here under 1 ms0006, each in 15l hempys again (which I now regret using again after learning more on my first grow, but funds were low so I just went with the medium I had!) The plants are 3x Think different (two in one pot) 3x Blue mazar, same pot setup as TD and 1x AutoXtreme in it's own pot as well!

The plants are kinda small and I did some pretty extensive defoliation and super cropping in veg - borrowing a bit of Hazy's double pot canin' it system. I'm not that reliant on a lot of bud now for personal use cause I quit the baccy and find I smoke / vape a lot less, so I decided to have fun and see what would happen if I just totally messed with them.

I intent to add in a second HPS light next week, 250-400w that a mate is giving me to try to get the most out of them, but meanwhile I've placed them on different levels (different height dining chairs!) and angled the light to try to get them all to a reasonably optimum flowering distance. I've also tied and pulled all the sites into a reasonably nicely sloped screen of sites.

No idea how it'll turn out but figured I'd post since they've gotten this far!

Thanks for looking!

Hey!
Thanks for posting!!
I've been tempted to do all,sorts of stuff like super cropping, but really just want to grow my first batch first. I'll be keeping up to see how you're stuff comes out after all your work!

Thanks Phoenix and wwillie!

Sorry I've not been on the thread - festive family stuff got in the way.

Anyhow, I got the 250w hps, but ionly got it up and running today as it needed a new bulb and it only arrived this morning. So flowering had started under the GN, and it was a bit shadowed but hopefully this helps boost things up a bit in the last 4 weeks or so. Here's how they look at the minute!

They got a bit of nute burn from when I added too much mollasses to the nutes and it (unknownigly) ramped up the EC to 3.0. but I fed them water for a bit and moved them back onto grow nutes this morning with the new light. I also got some PK 13/14 to use next week.

Thanks!

SWEET SWEET Push it to the limit LOL ..I use GN and get great harvest ! I would say the GN can give you the yield you are looking for..Plus with the HPS BOOM LOL You will see ..! "haPPynewYeaR"I dont know if molasses burns ..how much did you use?

@Dabaracuss: It might not have been the mollasses, but when I checked the water after I'd fed (I didn't realise mollasses affected EC) it was up at 3.0 on my truncheon. Either way I've hammered them hard and just seeing what happens.

Speaking of which, here's how they're looking now.

The Think different under the GN is the slowest to bud up. I forgot that my friend broke the main stem on one when I was away and I ended up topping it, but i've moved them under the MS0006 to try and get it a bit more direct light and time.

The one closest to the front is an autoxtreme, which got stunted when I moved it from a bubbler to the hempy (it was too much hassle, but it did shock it).

The rest are coming along ok, but on the right are the Blue Mazar's and they're definitely the furthest on.

Thanks for looking!
