New Grower 3rd grow: samsaura thunder bloody mary

[virginia gent]

My birthday present to myself

 

[virginia gent]

I have only made a few changes to my grow from the last two. I have changed my 6000k T5's to 10000k for the growth phase, I don't know if I should drop to the 6000k or 3000k for bloom. I will use a 20/4 light cycle instead of the 24/0. I will try again to come up with the money to add a second 135w led but I think the light will have to be a christmas present ( from me to me ). I will not be adding nutes until I have to but I have a bloom enhancer I might use later. The seeds (5) were planted 9/21/12 and I will post pics when/if they pop. I used poke and pray germination but was more careful to press the seed and cover uniformly, so far at least 1 of 5 plants have grown differently and I thought I should try harder this time.

I just checked the tent and 4 of the 5 seeds are just up with seed case still on but again one isn't yet. Will give them the rest of today and post a pic tonight.

Hey looking forward to the pics and i am too going to treat myself to a christmas LED lol :dance:

I might have been a little too stoned this morning because only three have come up. Last time it took one almost a week longer to pop. I have a round 135w ufo 7 band led but I would like to hear what others would recomend for my small agromax tent. I only want to grow 5 plants but the round shape seems to leave some with less led light than others. Would I be better off with 2 round 135w or one 240w rectangle? The 4 4ft T5's seem to give enough intencity but I feel I could do better about the other colors of light.

View attachment 128100View attachment 128099View attachment 128098Pot on front left, found seed still hard no sign of sprouting. Replaced with Royal Queen Royal Creamatic. Pot front right, seed with hat just at surface and I "feel" a root so I will give it another day. The other three seem alright. I have the led about 12in up should I lower?

The seed on right was also a dud, probly due to me, the seed head was damaged. I have replaced it with another creamatic. The three bloody mary are almost 2 in. tall and seem to be doing ok, the stems are a little thin. I have the circulating fan off, should I put it on low?

 

[Muddy]

Yes, put your fan on low. If that's too strong, point it at the wall and bounce the air off it, then on to the plants. Set your light at around 16" and raise or lower it as needed to keep you node spacing at about 1".

[virginia gent]

Well the creamatic planted 9/25 has popped and the one planted the day before turned to mush. I put one more creamatic in and if this fails I grow 4 not 5. The bloodymary is spreading but not much vertical growth yet. I think the next set of leaves is coming, this should help get things going.
