NB Growlog

[BHO]

Someone suggested I start a grow journal to help me eetalong the process. I started August 3rd with a Few NorthernBerry Peak Seeds. Heres what I got

6 Sprouted NB seeds, 1 in Germ
Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil
600 Watt HPS
Earth Juice line of Nutes (grow, bloom, meta-k, catalyst)


I am venting about 25 ft above anybody's head so i'm hoping the ONA will help dissipate the smell along with the elevation.

Heres the newest

 

[BHO]

Now, this one i decided to water. An hour later I came back and it was drooping badly There are extremely thin, white hairs in the soil which I take to be associated with damping off. I hear they are some kind of fungus. I guess I wont be watering her soon... Heres the pics of her drooping

 

[BHO]

BTW: I'm a first time grower of anything, so help is much appreciated. Thanx for lookin, guys! (not you, pigs)

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Whats up BHO and welcome to MP. We have grown NB a few times and the bud is great. Very nice berry taste that packs a punch. Anyway your plants will droop after you water them so i wouldn't worry about it. As far as fungus goes that can't be good for your soil or plants. Can you get a pic of it?

 

[BHO]

Hey, whats up Brother? I have seen your northernberry logs, and actually they were one of the reasons I chose the strain! Thankyou for the reassurance. I'm beginning to get the hang of this whole thing, I think. The plants look really nice today.

I took someones advice and turned one of my fans off, it seems to have helped. Seems they were a bit windburnt and crispy--problem solved! As far as the fungus goes..I am only guessing it is a fungus. I read somewhere about a thin-hairlike fungus associated with damping off, which I guessed was what I found in my soil. It is not noticable unless you really look, and doesnt look like what i'd call a typical fungus. It almost looks like a very thick strand of spider web or a very thin thread. Either way, the strands are too tiny to shoot a picture of.

BTW: The hairs are not visible at this time.. seems like only when it has been freshly watered.

I will post pics again when they are noticably bigger, or I run into a problem. Until then, thanx for the good words. Peace!!

Are you sure them white looking hairs are'nt your roots?

 

[BHO]

haha no, but i'm pretty sure they're not. i can't see it when they're dry, only when watered. i guess it could also be loose fabric from clothing or something tho

 

[BHO]

So I've been getting more worried and more worried about my plants' health. I transplanted one yesterday even though she's still small, but I thought she might be overwatered. Heres some pics of them at day 16.
Questions:
Are they a normal size for day 16 from sprouts?
My 600-watt HPS is still about 3.5 feet from plants, can i move it closer?
Both plants have one small light-brown colored spot on the single blade leaves. Is that anything to worry about??
Thanx for watching! seeyas

 

[Mutt]

nothing wrong there man....it'll take off in another week. looks great and healthy for day 16

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Whats up BHO. Yes i agree with Mutt they look great for their age. Just so ya know if you try and clone these ladies they are very tough to clone. I mean very tough. We tried cloning our last NB mother and not one clone rooted. Ended up tossing her into flower. She will be done this weekend. I'll toss some pics up of her before she gets the axe. Anyway everything is looking great and i would keep the light where you have it for now. Don't wanna burn them babies.

 

[BHO]

sweet! thanx for the reassurance, guys. hopefully i can get some clones though, i don't know how i'll get more seeds.. i know i don't want to order them here
i have clonex, so hopefully that helps. wish me luck!

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Whats up BHO. Here are the pics just before harvest yesterday.

 

[BHO]

wow man that is sweet! what did u grow them under? is that NB??


BTW, heres an update on the plants

7 seedlings turned into 6. Then I got some purple weed and found a seed in my bag, and i planted it to replace the one I killed (anybody know why that purple stuff would smell so strangely??)

Transplanted 3 of the oldest into my final pots.

One plant shows yellowing on the single blade leaves and cotyldons. The cotyldons are completely lime green, and the single blade leaves are about half lime green, half dark green. The bottomside of the single blade leaves are purpling, and between the purpling are light-green/yellow veins

I'll have some new pics of the girls in their new homes soon. The camera ran out of batteries and it doesnt seem to take pictures quite as sharp since i dropped it in soil

Thanx guys, as always!

 

[BHO]

so heres the droopy one. I transplanted and watered 3 days ago, and the moisture meter still reads pretty moist. I tried to get a shot of the purple undersides of the leaves, but the camera doesnt pick it up real well. I also tried to show how the leaf was yellowing... here are the pics I took today at day 20.

 

[BHO]

Now heres a pic of her sister who sprouted about 12-16 hours before Rae. I transplanted this one about 5 days ago, and watered around 6 days ago. Moisture meter is reading toward the low end of moist, I have been waiting until the meter reads dry below 1 (meter reads from 1-10)

These seem really small compared to other peoples' pics, BTW

(sorry for the confusion, only the first pic is of Luna, the 2nd and 3rd are of a plant a few days younger)

 

[Shakey B0n3S]

u need to water man ur plants will pick back up
try some foliar feeding as well after u turn the lights off at night

 

[BHO]

thanks but the soil in her pot is moist, its still drooping from the water it seems. i didnt realize how moist soil is when it comes out of the bag when i watered her.

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Whats up BHO. Yes that is a NB plant. Just wanted to show ya what your gonna be growing. Anyway get rid of that water meter. That's not gonna give you the reading you want. The best thing to do is water them real slow until you see a bit drip out of the bottom of your pot. Check it maybe 3 or 4 days later with your finger. Stick your finger in the soil about 2 inches deep. If it's dry give them a drink. If it's still a bit damp let them go another day or 2 and check again.

 

[Rdrose]

Whats up BHO. Here are the pics just before harvest yesterday.

Those are beautiful plants Brother!!

and BHO, yours are looking very nice, too!! Looking forward to following your journal.

 

[BHO]

thanx for the replies everyone I can't until my plants look like that

I'd like to get rid of the water meter..it kind of scares me to think my pots are still moist after a week :S But it scares me even more that I could overwater and get root rot. My finger is still a little moist when i put it all the way in, so no drinks for them. I also have the one drooping from water still...its been 3 days since she drank

And can anyone tell me if those are OK size for day 20, or did I stunt the growth somewhere along the way? Thankyou!
