Guptilla kush bagseed

[jambamamba]

I couldn't stay away, got some bag seed in fox farms ocean forest mixed with a little extra perlite. Finally settled in with work and got bills caught up, I'll be doing hydro buckets in the future. Day 2 for this one showing off though. Hope you pot smoking hippies have been well!

These are a couple of days apart, it had a stunt moment where it didn't grow for much for a few days but I'd say it's catching up pretty good. Happy weekend!

Welcome back, looks like a nice start.

 

[jambamamba]

Looking good. So what ya doing in there? We're a nosy lot..lol

Just curious about your setup. I may learn something.

Just got a little 2x2x4 tent, cheap "blurple" light from amazon on 16/8 light timer and little therm/hydrometer. Nothing special at all. Same thing I've been running if you look at my older posts. It's done pretty decent before but I need to upgrade tent, light, and get one of those DWC hydro buckets, then I'll really be in business lol. Updated photos again

Few more days and gonna be toppin er off looks like. Giving it a little spritz every day and about a L every few days.

Looking good friend. I see ya mentioned dwc earlier. Great method of growing and a lot different than what your doing now. Once dialed in the growth rate is crazy fast. I had one going when I started up in Nov last year. Couldn't control the water temps. The roots took the hit and started dying. I needed a water chiller to keep down the water temps. I abandon it and transplanted it all into promix. Next time I'll have a chiller ready to go. But for now peat moss is doing the job.

What were the temps getting up to? I had an aerogarden once haha it was a noticeable difference in seeds I started in it versus soil seemed to me. I want to get a better light, a larger tent, and move to hydro since I only do little grows.

My res temps kept creeping into the 70s. Before long I had slimy pale brown roots. I had to rip them from the netpots and plant in promix. Damaged roots caused a stunted growth but they turned out delicious.
I thought I could get away with slightly higher temps but not so..they warned me..lol

If ya can handle frequently watering plants coco is a awesome road to go. I think growth in coco is very similar to hydro without having to deal with res temps.

It's pretty easy to hit that 35w per sqft in a small space. I'm running a 480w in a 4x4. That only gives me 30 per sqft but it's doing the job. I got nice solid bud last grow. I really need to add more power to my setup but for now I'm growing my ass off..lol

I remember when I use to grow in DWCs.
Had to keep frozen water bottles in my rez to keep it around 68f.
Was to big a pain in the ass so I went back to soil.

I hear that. I was doing exactly that for that grow and it still failed. I'll not attempt that again without a water chiller. Years ago I just rested the dwc on the concrete in the basement. Always kept the water cool. Doesn't work so well in a apt. I'm sticking with peat. Much less to worry about.

 

[WeedHopper]

Yep. I'll just stick to soil.

Day 30 roughly from seed popping to now. Bent some fan leaves down, topped it about 3 days ago and it's doing good! No stunting I've noticed and stinks, just flipped to 12/12 yesterday and also cut it after the 6th set of leaves.

 

[greenmobster440]

Nice a healthy. Sounds and looks like your well on your way.

 

[jambamamba]

Yeah I just can't wait until I've got a bigger tent and can grow em a little more. I feel like it's wasted potential keeping em small

It's all good experience your chalking up and when ya do move into a bigger tent you'll be ready. Just always keep in mind more is not always better in plant numbers in small places. A well vegged feminized photo needs at least a 4sqft of space to develop properly. In my multi grow thread I have 8 plants in a 4x8. Each has their own 2x2space and they have filled it easily. I'm wanting to do a Scrog in there next grow but will drop back to probably 4-6 plants total under the screen.
I'm anxious to see ya grow in a bigger space. I think you'll rock it outta the park.

 

[jambamamba]

Confirmed fem! Kinda thought it was a male from the look of it but found some small hairs. Hells yeah

 

[greenmobster440]

Awesome, on your way now.
