Rdrose's SpeedQueen/WW indoor grow....let's see how this goes!

[Rdrose]

Hey Rose - I like the tubs you have them in. Can't wait to see updated pics of your babies. Sounds like you got your ferts situation remedied.

PB

Thanks PB, I got them at the Dollar Store...along with the aluminum trays underneath...

Hey Rdrose,
I can't wait to see how your babies are doing. The problems with mg and nute levels mirrored the kinds of things I was doing. I came to realize that if you don't overbaby them with nutes and water, you will produce some really nice plants. MJ is really a pretty hardy herb. Like most everyone of us on this forum, we enjoy growing as much as we enjoy smoking.

 

[Rdrose]

Thanks BFOK!!! I've got some really nice new growth coming out and heading toward the light w/my LST... it's very cool! :hubba:

 

[Rdrose]

Herblover, glad you stopped by, how are your babies doing, any flowers yet????

I know what you're saying about the MJ plants, they really do not need to be 'babied', but I do enjoy seeing them strong and green and healthy. The plants in this 'grow' are much healthier looking, IMO, than the WW's that I grew this summer. I've learned a lot over the past 6 months.

I love growing an organic garden. And love to find the best nutrients that will produce the healthiest most flavorful crop...whether tomatoes, cukes, potatoes, etc. Now I am growing what I consider the 'ultimate' herb...:hubba: I love lavishing healthy nutes on them in the hope of achieving the best smoke. It's an addiction :rofl: Not the smoking, but the growing!!

Rdrose,
I'm batting 500. I've got 2 ladies and 2 gentlemen. I separated them a week ago. I'll post some pics soon. Yes, your grow looks very bushy for their age. It's that good Dutch stock and some TLC that makes it happen for sure.

Thanks Herblover, and congrats on your 2 and 2!!

Here are my babies!! They've grown quite a bit since the last pics (9 days ago.)


I had some issues at first w/high temps, (low 90's) until I installed the 6" inline fan...after that, once I put the plants into the grow room, I found that the 6" inline kept the temps too low: (72* -78*F). :holysheep:
Actually had to turn it off so the temps would move into the 80's, as you can see from the first pic. I found that to be very curious that the temps would go down once the plants were in place...and stay at the lower temps even after the lights had been on for 16 hours...this happened for 3 days before I finally decided to just turn it off. :confused2:


The Mg/nute problem has been resolved, I am no longer spraying them with the Epsom salts water but have increased the nutes to recommended dosages:

FF Big Bloom (.01 - .3 - .7) = 4 Tbsp per gallon of water
FF Grow Big (6 - 4 - 4) = 1 tsp. per gallon of water

They are reacting very well to the nutes, nice and healthy looking.

I like the way the WW's are responding to the LST, don't know if you can see it in these pics, but several side shoots on each plant are heading up to the light...good clone sites or in my case, bud/cola sites. My plan is to wind the plants all the way around the perimeter of the grow tubs. I was wondering, though, if I should remove the large fan leaves that are 'shading' the new little sprouting side shoots?

I'm still waiting for alternating nodes on the SQ, if I am lucky enough to get 2 females, I'd like to top one of them. :holysheep:

The remainder are all SpeedQueen babies.

Thanks PB, I really appreciate your comments! I really liked seeing your pics, and the way you are doing your LST. You chop any of your 'Lil Sis' lately, looks like you've got some almost ready in your grow box with the little afghani girl.

Hey Audix, thanks for stopping. Yep this indoor growing is really different than growing outside...w/temps to worry about, etc. A great challenge!

Hi Dc,the flowering period is supposed to be 55 days on SpeedQueen...WW is a flowering period of 56-70 days...give or take a few...
