Hi Everyone,
getting towards the end of my second grow which I saw as a learning curve, trying out LST for the first time and using some bought seeds and freebies which came with them various varieties. Thought I would share with you. please feel free t point out my mistakes, I am looking for constructive critisism and tips to improve.
Grow space - DS90 90x90x170
Lights - LED Migro 300
Vent - 4" inline fan
Medium - plant magic soil supreme in 6.5l pot
Nutes - little bio silicon?? the OT Bloom in flowering 1 to 2 ml per litre
Seeds - All Autos
Started with:
1x Girl Scout Cookies (didn't pop)
1x White Moscow
1x Auto AK47 (discontinued old seed)
1x Sweet Gelato
2x Green Crack
About 2 weeks later I added:
1x Malana Bomb
1x Girl Scout Cookies
1x Blueberry Mango
Soaked seeds in water in dark for 48 hours then straight into finishing pots.
Used Plant Silicne?? (sorry I cant remember the name) sparingly during veg.
Fed OT bloom at 3 weeks 1ml/ltr and nute burned most of the earlier starters (something I seem to have a habit of - see pics)
Started the OT Bloom a week later with other 3 which worked ok.
Have LST most of them to some extent, only Malana Bomb and GSC havent been touched. I wanted to compare untrained and trained, also these 2 were very stocky and squat in veg and I was scared of snapping them (again!). These two looked strange in veg, more like rubber plants than weed and I thought they were some genetic mutants, but they look really good now.
I read an LST tutorial and when plants were big enough to bend to the edge of the pot I used pipe cleaners and paperclips to anchor them bend the stems, I managed to snap the stem of one Green Crack. It was ok when I left it but snapped next morning when I checked them, it has recovered reasonably well all things considered.
Overall I am fairly happy with these and the second batch of three have definitely benefitted from the mistakes I inflicted on the first but I think I still have some way to go getting to grips with nutes and watering. Still get a lot of nute burn on some (didn't know nute tolerance varied so much plant to plant - if thats even a thing ) and I was definitely letting them get too dry for a few weeks but think Im improving there.
Hoping to get some decent smoke out of these, comments good and bad most welcome these pics are from about 5 days ago.
I will post second batch in a post below as only 5 pics allowed.
