4x4 tent first grow (3 DAMNESIA, 3 FB, 3 WSS) from PARAGUAY

[farmer44 24]

Hi everyone, we are a couple of friends from Paraguay, South America, and we are happy to join this community and this forum! At this time we are going to write about our first grow in our 4x4 grow tent indoor, you have to notice that in my country we dont have grow shops, or expertise people on self cultivation, and every decision that we make about the changes that we have to improve in our indoor comes from the result of our own experiments or decisions. We need the know how and experience of all the weed growers in this forum to get the best results!!

Well, we are starting to post on our grow journal, today our 9 babys are on the DAY #41 from sprout and we recently change the lights to 12/12 to start blooming =)

I will show you some GENERAL INFO about our conditions of growing, the height, leaf pairs, nodes and also photos from the day they sprout to photos from seconds ago!

Hey guys! Thanks  for sharing your ladies from so far away

 

We will be glad to help you if we can, and if you need it, and as far as learning, you will find a looot of information to learn on the forum, it should get you busy for a few time

for the beginning of your grow, it has been going fine it seems, only thing i could say maybe is keep them a little less time in the jiffys, i personally prefer to put them in the pots, as soon as im sure that they have rooted. I find it more easy and efficient for me to handle the wet and dry Cycle where is a bigger surface of medium, with the jiffys it could dry to quickly and not give you the optimal cycle. but its not a Major problem, you handled it very nice and the girls dont seems to have bothered too much

 

Best of luck for the rest of your grow I will stay around to see

Have a good grow

[farmer44 24]

First at all, thanks Dust for welcoming us to this great community and for the first opinion that you gave us about how the jiffys, we apreciate every effort from you and from all the community to help us to improve our growing! Yesterday, I updated the journal till the 9th of April, and now im going to update till today!

Aloha, This is an interesting grow. What type of plant nutrition are you using?

[farmer44 24]

Hey guys! Finally, after 41 days of vegetative grow (01/05),  we took advantage of the holiday in our country and work to open all the branches for better light receivement, and we also change the lights to 12/12 and put the babies to flowering period! Actually, we have some questions and doubts about, we want to know if someone of you can give us a hand with this:

 

1- The most "important" problem that we find in our growing is that the babies dont have the average internodal distance, and they went like a little "dwarfed". We dont know how and why this happened (first 11 days on CFL in jiffys, and then we move it to the 600w HPS indoor with their final pots). We need some comments and opinion of some of you that had the same problem or just know something about this.

2- We are starting to have some nice but dangerous odor in the room. You can find our carbon filter in amazon texting this: 

LED Wholesalers GYO2306 &" Hydroponic Carbon Air Filter 310CFM

 

and we want to know if you have an idea if this its going to work for our tent or not. And if its not, what would you recomend us to eliminate the odor?

3- We are trying with some nutes call Go Box General Organics (you also can find it in amazon with this name!)

We started using it only with 3 babies (the weakest from each strain N2,N5,N7), but only from the 5th week, so we only have 10 days of experience with the nuts, but I have to say that we saw results in this period. But now, for the bloom period, we dont know very well how much amount of nutes dilute in how amount of water to get the formula to feed the 9 plants.  Just want to know if someone have already used it or experience it. 

 

Im also attaching some photos of our babies minutes before we change the lights!

 

THKS FOR ALL! We will keep updating when we see some chenges!!

ONLY MORE IMAGES FROM THE DAY #41 JUST BEFORE CHANGING LIGHTS TO 12/12

Great plants friend, are seen well desarrolaldas (width and height) for a big production. 

 

Very good selection of varieties, you will enjoy incredible flavors, no doubt! 

 

Thanks for sharing!

[Danic-tour 43]

Hallo farmer44 i have been following your grow the past days and i think your plants look nice... A little advice from me should be that keep your humidity a little higher in the veg. phase specily when your plants are young, when the humidity is low at 30 rh your plants are loosing water to the air and it will slow your grow down... If poissble keep the humidity at 60% at all time in veg. phase buy a humidifire to keep the humidity up i know i will do that for my own grow becourse i had some truble keeping it up aswell..

[Dust 6,284]

Thanks for all the pics man, Damnesia has turnes into a nice shaped lady, the FBK and WSS as well but i just prefer the damnesia's shape hehe but as far as taste goes WSS is my winner

 

Have a good grow

[Undutched 724]

he man very nice grow I noticed in vedg your HM is very low try to get that towards 80%(minimal 65%) in vedg and first 2 weeks of flowering keep it high about 65% after that when the buds start to form lower it toward 45%, your doing good just some tips to take in account for your next grow! With the WSS be carefull for balls keep a good eye on those ladies they tent to grow a little hermie when your room is not in optimal conditions!!! I know that in a big tent it is hard to do, maybe if possible buy a smaller vedg tent and blue CFL or led for vedg this keeps the seedlings from stretching. http://www.420magazine.com/forums/indoor-soil-cultivation/180203-4x4-grow-tent-club.html

[Undutched 724]

guys we are waiting for an update here!   

[tmanspecial 10]

haha damn those fan leaves on the FBK are huge. I freakin love this community.

[farmer44 24]

Hey guys! Sorry for the delayed on new updates about our first grow in the 4x4 tent here in Paraguay! Now Im uploading some pics of these little ladies that are growing very well. These pics of the ladies are in the 37 day of blooming, date (06-06-2014), lights are now on 12/12, we are not using any kind of nutes, only with water and soil! At the beginning we got 9 plants growing inside the tent, but by the second week of blooming we took two plants (1 wss, and 1 fb) to the outside because at this time the were like bothering each other, so they can continue this process because now we are in winter and we have the shortest period of natural light in the year, and the rest of the plants that stayed in the indoor can have more space to grow. 

 

Now I will show in another post, the real situation to this date, and Im going to ask some questions about our experience with the bloom stage!!

Thanks to all!!

Hi to everyone! We are bringing to you the last photos of our ladies (22-06-2014)! They are on the 52 day of blooming. We were having some problems with our timer, because it doesn't keep on time so we got every day like 2 hours of delayed in the clock. But know happily we already fixed this problem! We are watering the ladies every 2 days, 750ml aprox for each plant, the room temperature is always between 23-29 degrees celsius, and the humidity is 40%. We expect to harvest the first plant on 2 weeks, its the number 7 (wss), and we thinks that the number 4 (flower bomb) and the damnesia have to continue blooming for 2 or 3 more weeks until they get ready to harvest. 

 

In general they are looking so good, but we expect to get more bigger buds in these finals week of our first harvest, so we can obtain much more quantity in dry! 

 

We are so happy to share our paraguayan style, and every comment of you guys push us up to improve our grow every day! 

 

BLESS TO ALL!!!
