Thanks puffin, I needed that laugh.

Well, your doing something right. Your lil guys are growin faster than mine for sure. Good job, your over the 'hump' i think. The learning 'hump' ,...wait does that even make sense!? 'learning hump?'??? well, thats' not going to become a famous saying ,is it? learning hump indeed

Yes, there are three parts to the GH system. I Do add the Micro first, and then the gro. I didn't think they would need the Bloom until I turned them. Am I wrong?

Yes. The bottle gives guidelines on feeding schedules. Everything uses a little of all 3 bottles. The ratios depend on where you are in your growing cycle. You do use some of the Bloom even when you are in veg.

I generally run all 3 until a week or two into flowering. And then I go with the Lucas formula which uses just the Micro and Bloom in a 1-2 ratio.

 

[HemperFi]

Thank you Goddess, I will adapt as usual

 

[HemperFi]

lol, yeah Sol, I feel a little over the hump for sure....

It has occured to me that everything I'm doing in the stern of this old boat has, up until now, pretty much been a community effort. This isn't MY grow. This is OUR grow. Apart from the terrible responsibility I have of administering to them, all I am is a conduit through which you wonderful people are working. I came in here ignorant, like a puppet laying with loose strings. You folks have picked up those strings and animated my every step along this jerky path. If anything good come of this grow it is everyone's input that has made it possible. Thank you so much.

And you people out there lurking and reading but too shy to ask a question, just read what these GROWERS have advised me to do and follow along. It's a nice ride

yea... "our" grow.. (tho' I haven't contributed much )... and if you muck it up, expect tar 'n feathers, and a boxcar ride outta' town.. :rofl:

I enjoy your enthusiasm hf... and you're doing great! :aok:

 

[HemperFi]

Just having you around is a treat Hick. You are a class act my man. Thank you -- it's nice to be welcome -- Love your tent! and your sense of humor.

Tared n feathered -- don't want that action -- so I only nuked the Alien Plant. If it don't die I'll feed the rest of them. The two clones are showing signs of too much nutrients, but I have halved the nutes, so I'm hoping it's okay now.

 

[bho_expertz]

This advice is never too much ... Watch out the feedings ... Overfeeding is usually one of the causes of death

 

[HemperFi]

Yeah, I chickened out. I only gave the "Alien" plant the nutes and just PHed water for the rest of them. They are growing nicely, and they are green -- they don't look hungry.... next time.

 

[HemperFi]

I flushed the AK-47 with about 9 liters of PHed water last night -- it looks much better this morning. I have green people

 

[HemperFi]

The AK is the second pic, and the Alien is just under it -- All that growth in the middle came up while I slept last night. I won't be afraid to feed them on their next watering. What do you think?

 

[Locked]

I think you hve a bunch of healthy looking plants bro.....nice job. Everyone looks happy and green.:icon_smile:

 

[HemperFi]

You-all can take credit for that Hammy. Thanks bro

 

[Sol]

Looking good ,my friend. Thick leaves, huh? Coming along very nicely. They get more fun when they get bigger and you can involve yourself a bit more.Babies don't do much, I can't wait, you'll love it.

 

[Lemon Jack]

Looking good Hemperfi your AK is looking pretty nice.:aok:

 

[HemperFi]

Up until now it has been non stop this and that needing done, but I'm just sitting here watching them grow for a while. I feel like I have survived the first part of this grow, but I realize there are a couple more stages to get through. I will need to clone the clones, sex the babies and get them all comfortable for flowering. I believe I will keep the two clones as mothers and probably one of the babies as well. I need a 4 bulb T5, and perhaps another exhaust fan, and I know I will need a filter at some point. There is still a long way to go, but Christmas this year is going to better than the last few

Now if these 4 beans will pop I'll have something to do...

Peace

 

[HemperFi]

Thanks Jack, the AK looks pretty good, better than it did, but the one in the middle, the "White Power," I believe, will be the star. They were both the same size when I got them in the mail. The WP seems to like the FoxFarm Ocean Forrest better than the AK. We will see -- it sure is nice to know I have a couple of female plants for sure.

 

[HemperFi]

WEll, I believe I am ready to clone. I went and bought a Rapid Rooter , tray, dome and cubes. I picked up some MG seedling starter soil and some Black Gold seedling starter. I have two bottles of "Rooting" hormone, and I have read everything I can find. Can you think of anything I am forgetting? I have blades, tweesers, and rubbing alcohol.

It will be a week or two, but I wanted to be ready before hand -- unlike every step up until here where I put the cart before the horse. Have a great day.

Peace
