New Grower First time grow. Crystal dwarf/Auto Jack

[frizel]

Happy Frog soil contains worm castings, guano and humus, so you should need any nutrients for 3-4 weeks. It will take that long for the plants to exhaust what's already in the soil.

So should not start any nutes for about 3 to 4 weeks and then we only use the grow nute for a week or two(or whenever we want it to stop growing because of space) then switch to the bloom and bio bud for the remainder of the time?,and skip the rest of the stuff? Oh yea, also start using the CaMag+ when we start using the grow nute and use it all the way through?


We are growing all the way through with 1 liter pots in the pc box and 3 liter pots in the nightstand. Don't know if that has any effect on start times for nutes.

Yes, no nutes unless you see a need, but there should be plenty in the soil. Then normally veg nutes till about week 6 but you may want to switch earlier if they start getting too big or your space. I've not used bio bud, what do they recommend for it? A little cal/mag, maybe every other feeding should be okay. Usually if there is a need for it, it's in early veg. Pot size may force them to flower a bit earlier. You'll just have to keep an eye on them. Watch your vertical growth and when it stops, time to make the switch.

UPDATE

The PC box is coming along good. Both crystal dwarf seeds sprouted , but the nightstand is a different story: (
We Germinated the 2 auto jack seed we had, they both cracked open fine within a day, so we planted them and waited and waited for them to pop up through the soil and eight days passed and nothing happend, so we moved some dirt around and found the seeds looking the same way when we put them in so we pronounced them dead. Kind of sucks Cuz that was the only jack seeds we had but we've moved on.

We skiped the germ process this time and went strait to soil and they poped up like two days later. Since the jack seeds died we had to plant more crystal. We do have one seed of sugar mango but were saving it till next grow, hopefully by then we'll have a bit more experience.

The small plants are day two and the bigger ones are day six and the supper little sprout is hour two above soil in the nightstand.

Also the outdoor buds are starting to fill in nice : )

Looks like things are moving along nicely. I'm a bit surprised those Jacks didn't sprout. Usually if they crack quickly they are almost sure to grow.

Yea we were vary surprised to. But out of all the seeds we got the auto jack seemed to be the most immature. The crystal and the sugar mango seeds are big and healthy lookin with nice stripes on em, I like to call em tiger stripes, but the jack seeds had no stripes. They were a dull light green almost a grey color and really small compared to the rest.

Its ok though Cuz we only bought the crystal dwarf, the auto jack and sugar mango were both freebies. But we still would have liked to grow em.:cry:

But yea, everything else seems to be going pretty good. Hopefully we can keep it up. And if thouse jack seeds not making it is the worst problem we run into then I think were doin ok : ) we'll see though, I know we got a.long way to go and lots could go wrong but we just keep thinking positive! And have our fingers crossed......lol

 

[Muddy]

They do sound like they were immature seeds. Probably why they were giving them as freebies.

Probably why they were giving them as freebies.

Yea, sounds about right.
Ill be posting some better pics in about a week so stay tuned!

Outdoor update

Well I had a really bad security scary yesterday and the plants had to be cut down : (
New Neighbors moved in next door so I went and meet them, they were vary nice but not party people that's for sure. An older couple probly in their 70's . He asked me if I knew exactly where the property line was because they have dogs and they planned on putting a fence up.
Long story short, the plants were basically right on the property line so they had to come down. Ended up with next to nothing is no big deal compared to getting caught, but I am still pretty disappointed at the whole situation.
At least we got our indoor stuff growing now though. Just wanted to stop in and let you guys know the bad news. This is all I got out of it, I think they were about week 3 or 4 into flowering.....so sad.....

I post the dry numbers when its ready. Its looks like its not going to be vary good at all smoke,taste,smell,high wise. Its.all good though!! I just keep lookin forward!! : )
