First EVER Grow - Prototype grow box

[nova564t]

Looks good, white is the way to go, mylar blows around, gets dirty, a can of white paint is way cheaper.

 

[MosesPMG]

Hey Nova, thanks for the advice.

I have some paint so after this grow, my box will become white.
for now, I just bought 6 white poster boards and I am putting it up tomorrow.

[MosesPMG]

Got some posterboard last night (dark blue) hahahaha JUST KIDDDING some plain flat white sorry im blazin this morning :bong:

Today I am going to take all of the plants of out the box, do some cleaning, put in the WHITE poster board, water the plants before the light goes off, and start lst.

I am starting the lst off easy by just bending them over and see how long it takes them to snap back. Ill tie em down tomorrow.

OoOoo I forgot; Ive had it on 18/6 for a little over a week now and when I opened my box today :woohoo: it smelled like fresh marigangabuds for the first time! Im so happy. I looked for pistols, but none yet.

pics when the cleaning is done :aok:

 

[MosesPMG]

got it cleaned up some and put up the white poster board. whatcha think

 

[Jericho]

Looking good, Can you see the difference in reflection and amount of light in there now?

Cant wait to see these bud up.

 

[nova564t]

There you go, I think you'll see difference now that you're reflecting light instead of absorbing it.

 

[MosesPMG]

Hey Jericho and Nova!

I could start seeing a difference while I was putting it in haha. There is alot more light now, and its a little bit of a whiter light now, instead of yellowish because of the wood.

I have begun lst. I bent the 4 smaller plants about 2/3rds of the way up the stalk away from the light and all of them but the biggest of the 4 has stood back up already (about 3 hrs later). Im sure taking them out of the box didnt help but it had to be done.

I will bend them all back over again when that last one stands up. I am hoping this will help the stalks get thicker, they need to

 

[MosesPMG]

wow -- Just realized, and I honestly never thought I would have a 10 page forum. I expected this to go alot worse than it has; guess I have more of a green thumb than I thought. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has stopped by and helped me along the way. :clap: :tokie: this one is for yall.

lst is goin great, Im gonna tie them down permanently this afternoon. pics when they are tied

 

[MosesPMG]

So the yellowing is coming back on some of the plants. Im starting to think it might be a Nitrogen def maybe? after looking at the def chart MP has.

Ill try and get some pics, its hard with the lighting.

If it is, should I start adding quarter strength flowering nutes? I want to start flowering in about a week anyways. Thanks all

 

[Jericho]

If it is def i would suggest veg nutes for now so that the N lasts through flowering. Otherwise they may run out a little too early.

Some people use Veg nutes for 1st week of flower depending how long its going to go for.

 

[MosesPMG]

good morning Jericho!

alright Ill just up the veg nutes from half to 3/4 strength and see what happens.
pics when I get home

 

[MosesPMG]

so now Im confused.

I watered them with 3/4 strength veg nutes, and the plants with the yellowing didnt change at all, but one of the other plants got nute burn. so should I just try flushing all the plants and see what happens? or keep with the nutes just go back to quarter strength? thanks

 

[Jericho]

This nute burn happened over night?

Try take the plant out of the HPS and take a pic in normal colour

 

[MosesPMG]

morning Jericho! ya it happened to my odd ball plant, and it didnt even take over night to happen. happened in like 2 hrs.

I watered them all with 3/4 strength and when I checked em before lights out, the lowest leaves on my oddball plant had yellow spots. ill take it out and snap a pic, tis easy

this morning there is no change, the odd ball has kinda small yellow spots and the other 2 plants just have yellowing of the leaves, no spots. it hasnt gone to any of the other leaves thankfully

 

[MosesPMG]

so first is the pic of what I think is the nute burn on my odd ball plant

second is the odd ball plant all bent over Thanks everyone

 

[Jericho]

It does not look like nute burn IMO, Nute burn usually starts on the tips and works its way down the leaf. Is not usually in dots like that. Could you have dropped nute solution on that leaf?

 

[MosesPMG]

Thanks Jericho, there is a good possibility of that. I try and be as careful as possible, but anything can happen. should I still flush or get rid of that leaf or what?

also, am I doing the lst correctly? It is seeming to work, just want to make sure

 

[MosesPMG]

pics tomorrow - but I had to tell yall

lst works miracles :aok:

It has really made the stalks stronger and a little bigger so far, but the biggest improvement is at the nodes. since bending them over, the sides of the plants are getting alot more light, and have just exploded. they are starting to look really bushy!!! Thanks everyone for the help so far. pics tomorrow

oh, also. The nute burn has gotten better after a slight flush. I am going to hold off on nutes for a few more days so they can fully recover

 

[MosesPMG]

Thinking about starting flowering in a few days?

first pic is of them all
the second pic is one of the plants that I did lst to
third is of my odd ball plant, but it is much less odd now
fourth is of my big one
