Dutch Passion Vapo and the DP Gang!(Mac #1, SFV OG, OMG!)

[Vapo]

Hello AFN....Welcome to this awsome grow, with me....The Amazing Vapo!.....Today I potted up 1 of each of the three strains, generously gifted to me from Dutch Passion, by way of our very own DP connection @Antonio_DutchPassion ....I thank both parties enormously .....so, like I said, I potted 1 of each up today....and here is how I did it....

....now it's just a case of waiting for them to breach....I am gonna be transplanting these ladies at about week 2, they will be growing under a 315w CMH on a 20/4 light schedule and the nutes will be Megacrop one part!....that's about it for now everyone....more soon!

Edit:...just a few more deets for you about the kit I use ...
Tent is 75x75x200cm.
Filter is Rhino hobby 5".
Extract Fan is S+P 5".
Medium is Ecothrive coco/clay pebbles.
Pots will be 5 ltr fabrics.
Grow style will be hands off, leave them alone...Nahhhhh hehe...top and tie those MF's down baby!...wooooo

EditEdit:....I have just wrote down the feed chart I will be using for these ladies...

...also I will be measuring the water differently for the veg and the bloom periods.....in veg I fill the 1 ltr measuring jug to the very top, which is over 1 ltr, making the veg nutes juuuust a little bit weaker....then I switch to measuring properly for the bloom period, making the feed up to a normal measurement, but stronger than before!!

Hello AFN...I am now 3 for 3 today, as expected!!....the Oh My Gusher!(love the name haha!)has breached....yaaay and they are all on their way to greatness....I squirted 40ml of Megacrop one part feed upon each of these gals today at a strength of 0.53g per litre....they now must start to build up a rootbase in the tiny pots they have breached in, for the next week or so, b4 I transplant them into the final pots......

....I also have just realized that early days for these gals is going to be turbulent.....you see, the timeframe for transplanting is also around the same time I usually top them!!......oh what to do, what to do?.....idk but we sure as s**t are gonna find out soon Mwahahahaha.

Hello AFN...my last post/update was 3 days ago on Thursday and "The Three Amigos!" have all been bizzee since then.... I have been feeding them as to week 1 of the feed chart I wrote down, it's on page 1 of this thread... I think?...0.53g per litre of Megacrop one part feed...they crossed into week 2 today and as the feed is the same for the first two weeks, the feed I had mixed without checking.. was still ok to use....Noice!

Everyone is looking good to me.... apart from this on the first serrated leaves...

I have put this pic of the OMG's leaf on to illustrate the damage bcoz it's worst on her...when I top dressed with Myco(reggae roots!)I got some on the leaves, I tried to get it all off but I am clumsy as f**k hehe so I musta left some on the leaves...and it damaged the leaf surface...have to be more careful in future!..more very soon AFN....Transplant day is coming up Very Soon.....

Hello AFN...today is the 9th day these ladies have been on the feeds and in those little potz, so I transplanted them into their final pots today...and this is how I did it ....
1)...I started with the SFV OG, as she was the smallest I put her in the smaller pot(I only had 2x5ltr and 1x3.8ltr!)

2)...I filled the pot with Coco/Clay Pebbles and dug a hole big enuff with a test pot...

3).... dusted with Myco...

4)...I rolled the pot in my hands to separate the medium from the plastic, turned the pot upsidedown and tapped the plant oot.....then another myco dust...

5)...put the plug in the hole and pressed it down a filled around the top.....voilá!....

...and here are the other two....same process just a bit bigger pot(5 litre!)

...there we have it AFN.....more very sooooon...

Hello AFN...my 3 ladies are all doing well atm...they are growing fine despite a transplant and the myco incident ....they are well above the damaged leaves and I will cut them off soon anyway ...they are still a bit heavy from the big feed they had at transplant and seeing as I want the roots to spread ....I will be letting them get quite dry before I feed them and watering the outside of the pot, mostly!!

I have realized that the SVG OG, being in a smaller pot, will not quite follow the same feed schedule as the other 2 but...... so what?hehe I will just hafta feed her separate when she needs it .have a good day please AFN....more very soon!!

Hello AFN...I have made a couple of small but mighty changes inside the grow room that should have some goooood effects on the ladies....firstly I have retired the generic 315w Ballast and it is now my backup ballast, in favour of one of these....

The difference between the two, I thought I would not be able to see....but it shows on the pictures I have taken of the gals...the second change is that I have now been able to lower my light, to about 24" above canopy....

Hello AFN...the ladies are all looking good....week 4 started on Sunday....bit of a slow start but considering what I put them thru......I think they are doing ok...they are starting to move now.....Noice!.....shud see some differences very soon...

Now my light is lower they have adapted to it and seem to be moving much better now, the next few weeks will be fun....more soon AFN....

Edit:...I thought I would put in that, in the last pic.... you can see how beneficial it is to cut the inside leaf away when growing like I do....

Hello AFN....gave all the ladies a little tug on the ties and a trim up....SFV OG is showing me her bits too... Naughty lady hehe!!...I will be letting them go up soon, I usually do when the tips reach the edge of the pot...

That's all for now dudes....more soon and for reading AFN.
