Indoor Smokey's Tiny Tent:Stone Dragons

[SmokeyDeHerb]

Thanks mate. Yeah the fan is top spec, the filter is only a budget one... 9 month lifespan.
I've looked everywhere for a reflector but can't find any 40cm long or less. It's really annoying because I have the DR60 as well and a sun mate reflector but have no room for it. I lost my grow room when smokey jnr was born so had to borrow back the small tent that I'd sold to a mate and let him borrow the 60.
He's just moved house at the moment and hasn't got round to setting it up yet (plus I kept all the lamps) but it really annoys me when I think what I COULD be using to grow with. It's also but the block on my plans for making crosses.
My last grow in the 40 was a seed run to preserve my PAKs and boy did it get messy.

How time flies!!! Day 42 now and we have colour :head:


They've still got that lovely dark green colour to the leaves too but a couple of them are starting to show the first signs of colour on their edges but unfortunately the camera can't pick it out yet, not even close up.

Day 45 and although on the whole the plants are looking healthy I've noticed a few leaves today that have yellowy brown spots on them.




After a quick visit to the infirmary and looking at jm's guide to self diagnosis (nice thread by the way jm :clap I think it's a calcium issue. Never had any problems like this before and not sure why I have now. Only things I can possibly put it down to are the soil (haven't used this sort before) or ph (again, probably due to the soil!)
I watered them last night so will have to wait till tomorrow night to check the ph of the runoff.
I have tried to be a lot more accurate with the ph of the water this time around, aiming for 6.7 - 6.9 for feeds. I haven't tested the runoff for a while but it was fine initially.
Anyhoo, i'm not going to take any action until I see whats what tomorrow.
Oh, and they are getting frosty too

Ok... here's a few shots from day 50



I think the rust spots on the leaves are a pH issue now... checked the runoff compared to what was going in and there was a drop of 0.8. So as i've been buffering the water to around 6.7 a drop like that would put it at slightly below 6.0...Too Acidic!!
The last 2 feeds have just been plain bubbled water to give a bit of a flush and i'll give them a burst of nutes on the next feed... which will be Monday.

8 weeks old tomorrow and I had to throw out some pics coz they are so frosty now.
The colour is a really nice purple/red and it's starting to spread along the leaves as they get more and more frosty... Looking forward to smoking these little babies sooooo much

Apologies for not being about over the last month, had a problem with my internet provider ... they wouldn't provide me with internet
But although I've not been able to update the thread I have been taking photos of the girls and now I can share. So the next few posts will be a MASSIVE PHOTO UPDATE... well, about a dozen or so pictures.
The girls came down last week (just over 12 weeks) and other than the slight pH issue I had all went well with them and they are just begging to be smoked :dance:

Let me take you back to week 9... day 63 to be precise
I should point out the quality of the pics will vary... 2 different gen iphones and a digital camera were used so some will be better than others





I was still in the midst of the pH issue at this point, hence the rust spots, but they were both showing some nice colours and some juicy buds

Midway through week 11 now... day 74
They're looking a bit thinner here because I took some buds to see where they were. Was a blissfully nice smoke but decided to let them go a bit longer
Apologies for the photo quality here... bad phone, bad lighting
