New Grower ArseNick's Nirvana Grow

[ArseNick]

Hello everyone. I've just started a new grow of Nirvana's fem Nl and
Bubblelicious.

I've grown before but still consider myself a new grower so I am posting here.
Feel free to give me any help, because I sure can use it.

I'm growing in soil, using WG's Lowes sourced soil (thanks) and running under T5's.

I have 4ft 8 tubes running mixed spectrum and 2 2 ft 4 tubes for sidelights.
I get a lot of light on the area. I have 2 setups in room, only using 1 for this
grow. Hoping to get some Stone Dragons going on the other soon.

Here are some pictures of my setup and the new girls



The girls are 4 days old and looking pretty good. Like I said feel free
to give me pointers, I sure can use them.

Welcome aboard Sofa, I haven't grown in a while but hopefully I will be able to pull this in. The seeds were older than a year
but 9 out of 10 came up and are looking strong. I dropped a single drop of super thrive into their water for this morning.

Welcome back to the grow world ! so just to make sure what nutes do you have on hand?We are here to help bro good luck..:karma Cloud:

Thanks DABaracuss, I am using NW's Lowes sourced soil/nutes, and have Fish Emulsion (5-1-1) for veg and MG quick start (4-12-4) and Molasses for Flower.

I wanted to follow K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) for this grow. Hopefully I won't Frig it up.

:dance2:

Hey bro that Alaska fish fert 5-1-1 is some good stuff(stinky) but not to sure about the mg quick start Lots of growers have had bad results with the mg products. That same company that makes the fish fert also makes a bloom mix. Its commonly sold at ace.

They look healthy. You have your work cut out for you. 9 plants is quite a haul and when they get some size and start to flower you'll need a good watering routine to follow because they will drink the pot dry in a day. Looking forward to the results!

"That same company that makes the fish fert also makes a bloom mix. Its commonly sold at ace." Thanks Romeo
I will look for it, I have used MG products before, The quick Start seems to be on the mild side (4-12-4), I used to
use Better-Grow Orchid Better-Bloom (11-35-15) in less than prescribed amounts and had good results. I still have
a lot of that if the MG doesn't give the desired results.

Thanks Str8Bacon, I just ordered some Stone Dragons and was thinking about running my other T5 setup.

That might be to much to handle, The room would be really crowded with close to 20 plants going at same
time.

Good set up and nice healthy looking plants, my only advice would be ditch the orchid fertiliser, it is a totally different type of plant and although you may have had good success with it in the past I am sure you will get even better results with a cannabis specific fertiliser, they are such unique plants and some people have invested a lot of time and money into developing fertilisers specifically for cannanbis for the sake of a few quid Id recommend sticking to what is tried and tested.
As you said K.I.S.S.
Its an acronym I have stuck with, I use Advanced Nutrients Sensi Grow and Sensi Bloom with a bit of root stimulator, thats it, nice and simple.
Oh and yes, maybe 20 plants is a bit much to begin with. K.I.S.S.
