pharcyde's grow numero uno

pharcyde · Jan 10, 2008

Hey whats up everyone. I am growing in a closet with two types of lights: one 200W CFL in the 6400K color range and a 150W HPS.

I am germinating a few more seeds besides this, but I am germinating them the same way: seeds in a cup of water.

This plant is a Skunkberry that I started germinating 4 days ago and planted two days ago. It just sprouted today. I am using 16oz party cups with holes in the botom for the first couple weeks. The soil is "MG Seed Starting." It is a potting mix with mostly perlite and peat moss. 0.05-0.01-0.05

Here are the pics: germinating, part of my set up, this morning at 10AM and this afternoon at 2PM.

Thanks a lot KingKahuuna!! I think this one is going to be a beautiful lady!

Right now its 75 degrees Fahrenheit... temperature is gonna be the hard part of this grow I think. When both lights are on and I close the door, it goes above 80. I got a fan going, too, but it is small. So I am keeping the door open, but that isn't going to be cool when I'm flowering for light reasons.

I probably need a large fan. Anybody got some good links about small closet ventilation? I am finding help using a forum search for closet, but maybe someone knows of a good link.

Lookin great bro they will be big in no time ,skunkberry sounds greatttttt

pharcyde · Jan 17, 2008

Exactly one week since my first post and also exactly one week since this little one broke ground.

Well theres some company in there now; I added six more plants. Two of them are skunkberry and I won't name the others. ( I want to keep this thread focused on just one plant.

)

Anyways, when I added the other plants I switched to 24 hour light. I realized that I was going to slow growth in the plants if I didn't, since it gets to 58 F in the dark.

I can worry about that later though.

Humidity is very low, so I need to work on that. I tried the cup of frozen water with a fan and it didn't work. I'll try again with a bigger container.

I checked the PH of my water, it is between 6.6 and 6.9, and I am pretty happy about that.

Well here are the pics of the whole gang, the chosen one, and a close up.

That crazy vancouver guy · Jan 17, 2008

right on, man... look'n good. don't ya hate that it takes so darn long for them to grow?

pharcyde · Jan 24, 2008

Hey, its day 14 and I just want to say thanks for checking out my journal.

Your crazy if you think these plants take a long time to grow! Check this plant out now, it grew a lot in a week.

Well, I transplanted this one into a larger container a few days ago. As you can see, I am using FoxFarm Ocean Forest. Organic is pretty cool, I will have to try all organic next time.

Before I loaded the soil into the pot, I sprinkled some Marine Cuisine on the bottom of the container. (Thanks E-Man! http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showpost.php?p=92992&postcount=328 ) I will let everyone know how that works out!

Once the plant was in the soil and ready to go, I gave a light dose of FoxFarm Big Bloom in the watering. ( Edit: This is not necessary. I haven't done this again and won't do it again. When I transplanted all my other plants I did not add any nutes. Mary Jane will tell you when she needs nutes.)

See you all in a week. Until then... :watchplant:

Growdude · Jan 24, 2008

Plants are looking real good! do you plan any topping or LST? or all natural?

Just keep up the good work I wouldnt change a thing.

pharcyde · Jan 24, 2008

Thanks Growdude - I am going to keep this plant natural growing.

I got a few other plants in my garden and I'll be posting them around the forum as they grow. When I start a thread on another plant, I'll make sure to have a link here in my journal for everyone.

pharcyde · Jan 25, 2008

For some reason I though it said add FoxFarm big bloom when transplanting on the bottle, but I was imagining things. Although I did see that somewhere... not sure where.

Anyways, I noticed small orange spots where the stem meets the leaf (the beginning of the leaf). My bad. No big deal. I edited my post above and won't be doing that again.

I think my friend said he can get Kush tonight. Word.

pharcyde · Jan 31, 2008

It is update time and my plant is growing very nicely.

Hey Farside

I love the looks of the skunkberry, if it's the one from peakseeds...I'm doing the equivilant of the northern berry, (well hopefully in a week), building the grow room right now. Those look like sweet young ladies already...Good luck with your grow!!!

pharcyde · Feb 21, 2008

Today is the last day of veg and in a few hours or so, my plants will be without light for their first 12 hours.

I think my Skunkberry has gotten its curious roots into the marine cuisine and got a little nute burn.

The other plants don't show these burns but they are younger and have less marine cuisine at the bottom of their pots.

Well, no big deal, I am not going to transplant again, so...

Yippie! Flowering time!!

pharcyde · Mar 12, 2008

Day 50 total.

At this point, I decided to do a soil test. The PH was in a good range (i don't remember) but the N was surplus. Check the first pic for the test result.

So I guess I lied in the last post since I ended up transplanting into fresh soil ..at day 50, lol.

Well it is happy in its new soil, as you can see in the next two pics.

And finally a garden shot.

Heres the pics!

Melissa · Mar 13, 2008

pharcyde · Mar 13, 2008

Day 61 total.

Five females out of six plants total.:woohoo::yay:

I'm happy with the results, peakseedsbc is the best!

Well the male is gone now, but it was a Skunk plant (only one in my garden) It was the tallest one, so I wasn't all that suprized.

Well now the Skunkberry of this journal is the tallest and is definitely female, heres some pics.
