New Grower Noob grow, N lights, Sour Diesel, Fast Haze

....LMAO!! That icon is a hoot, BTW!!...don't we know the feeling! :stylez rasta smoke: ....Great! -you have a loupe with more than enough mag' at 40X,...shit! It must look like some alien landscape through those...:GoooAuto: Well, depending on how you like your buzz, you could take parts of the FH right now, and let the rest catch up,.... it's Satv. dom., so for that upbeat spacey high, I'd say you're there at 15%, or a bit less,... that NL is Indica dom., so that will be a much heavier body stone, regardless.... you got the bases covered between them both! Have you looked at GoAuto6's links in his signature area? There's a great article in there about the drying/curing process; I forgot to ask, do you have a book or two on growing? I very highly recommend Ed Rosenthal's MJ Growers Handbook, and Jorge Cervantes' MJ Horticulture Medical Growers Bible; between them they cover all the good stuff in a fast, practical no BS kinda way... avoid Greg Greens book, it's a total clusterfuck of poorly written and organized info....
And yeah, NL has been getting less N, more P & K and macros since last week...
<-- :smoke: Awesome! you're on it bro'!.... She's just making plenty of room to load up those buds! Which bloom nute's you got? This time around, I went with Sea Grow Bloom, 4-24-24, and fed twice a week, ramping up from 1/4+ strength to about 3/4....just to play it safe, as most of them were small plants not using a whole lot overall,... we'll grind on this more later.... but for now, on the FH, I'd start the 'cleanse' (flush is more of a term for flooding and heavy rinsing of a medium, usually to correct over feeding or pH probs,...) ...using just water, no honey or any carbs... It's critical to make sure there's no extra sugars in the plant tissues by harvest, or the smoke will be FUBAR! How long will depend in part how recently you fert'ed, and how strongly; in soil, several days should be fine... I figure you don't want too much amber on that FH, so ASAP for partial harv' is a good plan... remember, the ambering is caused by the breakdown of THC into other cannabinoids, and so is losing a little bit of potency as it does so,... *** You might want to consider starting a couple seeds after you take the FH down, just to have them rolling well by the time the NL is finished; it's easy enough to set them up on something to get'm closer to the lights.... weather permitting of course! you did mention the grow area gets chilly,...! Just summn ta think about brudda! :D: .... never a worry about rep's, Red... the thought is what counts, and we get that,...you bringin' in the goods is the best reward! ( the amount you can give is determined by the # of green bars you got,...most I can give now is 8, for example...)
 
If this is addiction, DAB, I'm dodging re-hab!
I love how my thinking is going back to lockout, cations that counter it, short chain vs long chain molecules... damn, it's been almost 15 years :Stones slap:
I even had a dream last night that I ordered my chickens back across the road, 'cause they were s'posed to be watching the garden! :WTF:
I DO feel like I have friends here... and I don't use the "F" word lightly...
 
Wow... so it's on now :no:
I have to cut my baby's head off... :worm:
That's what I was thinking, I've given plain h20 for the last couple of feedings.
I'm happy and sad, waira :bong:
What reaction should I expect from the lower buds, after their leader is headless?
As for the NL, wg recommend MG 4-12-4 and molasses for the finish (Safety built in for 1st timers) , but I'm leaning towards a 1-12-12 mix, if I can find it. A trip 16, depending on the N, scares the hell out of me!
And don't get me wrong on the reps :D:
I dig the input and good vibes, but especially for this first grow want to give credit where it's due.
:grat:
 
With 40X (just guessing... it's at least 30X) it looks like giants are lawn bowling with crystal bowling balls!
I can see the hairs on the leaves holding up the resin :dance2:
 
..they're all heads, my friend, like a Hydra! :wiz: I did this on a couple of my first plants, and it worked great!.... reminds me, a recommendation for future strain choices: B. Lee auto, by Kannabia... this handled my mistakes with minimal effect, and were the largest, best leaf:calyx ratio bus of the lot! *** :check: WG is right, it's a conservative ratio and conc., safe, the MG+ molasses (lots of K in there, besides the Ca and Mg) but after seeing all the info about the stuff I mentioned, Sea Grow, I dove in and tried it, with a step-by-step ramp-up in conc.... it made a huge difference in my buds this last time, over using the milder bloom nutes; given how well you're doing, and careful you are, you could go stronger, especially with a plant drawing that much nutrients! Still, WG's wisdom might be the call for this first grow though, and you got great results so far!... one can always add more or more frequent fert'ing, but there's no taking it back! Either way, keep a close eye on the leaves for tip death, spotting, weird discoloration, now is a vulnerable high demand time for the NL,...{ SG (made by Grow More) makes great products, and they're inexpensive compared to many others! }
 
I think I have to give respect to wg on this, and finish with his nutes. I know, he's doing way more advanced stuff ( all of y'all are :High 5:), but I'd like to stick to the basics of his recipe.
I owe him tons for getting me to this point, I'd like to follow it through so I can recommend it as a start to future noobs. :tiphat:
Next grow coming up... in the indoor section :D:
My last seeds, 2 Fast Haze and 2 Sour Diesel :yay: (No balls, no balls...).
I need another foot & a half of width on my closet, more light, and want to do a side-by-side for soil and nutes.
2 Fast Haze, 2 different soils and nutes.
2 Sour Diesels, again, dif soils and nutes.
This could be a poll in the making, or at least a good time join in!
Favorite mix of dirt? Wet dream nute cycle... Hmmmm
 
I am humbled and embarrassed at my lack of knowledge, folks.:Holy Moly:
I have bad eyes, but a microscope to see trichs? WTF!!! I thought folks here were interchanging the terms trichomes and pistols :WTF:
Now I get it, may all the other noobs mock or learn, as meets their condition:
I was thinking the amber on my buds were trichs, I thought the pistol days were long gone :howdy:
Our FH trichs are still clear :Stones slap:
I'm a dumb-ass :tiphat:
And the missus is right! :KISS:
Yes, I thought the pistols were trichs :WTF:
 
Renaissance..........That is some funny Sh*t right there!!! Also, you gotta let the misses be right every now and then. Good lookin ladies you got there!! Nothing beats smokin the fruits of your labors!!!:peace:
 
@Renaissance, I feel your pain was in the same boat when I grew my first photo, thought pistils were at the nodes and the ones on the buds were trichs....haha

Live and Learn Bro, Here at AFN I learn something cool everyday :stylez rasta smoke:
