slimjim Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi once again huntersA little bit faster growth now, think they over the slow startI have increased the powder feed to 1.3 EC, 5.9 PH, 22c, as and when neededRH 60-65Temp 24-25, goes down to lowest of 20, at lights on and off changes till the radiator or bulb heats upIm sure they will still produce nice bud if not a lot of itThanks for looking i wont giveup on themIn the last picture the 2 smaller pots are slhPEACE HUNTERS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 At nearly 6 weeks old for the oldest ones, (not a very good show on my part) i should rename this as a sweet mango stress test.Being scared of over watering, i think its not enough water where the problem started, probably why the Exodus were small.All i can do now is wait till they flower and see what happens,start the count down from there.Growth is noticeable now however still slow.TEMP-24/25RH-55-60Feed EC-1.4 PH-5.9 at 22cHere are some pictures, hope the growing tip pics make up for the my growing mistakesPEACE HUNTERS thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Its that time again, budding season and i love itI must say the flowers bloom quick once they started on these SMAApart from having a rise in temp of 1c lights on and 2c off everything is preety much the sameAfter lights on tomorrow going to lower ph of feed cause root ball a bit high PH 6.8So here are some pictures, i like SMA 4, the youngest of the 4 and the most developed,the last 4 pictures are with a 2 lt bottle for height comparison Hope you all like the pics and thanks for lookingPEACE HUNTERS, and i be back in a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi huntersIn the last 5 days since the last pictures, both branching and flowers are developing nicelyTemp increase to 28c lights on due to outside temp risingThey seem to like the environment now, its a nice turn round from a bad startApart from that, the rest is the sameThats all for now PEACE HUNTER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeythabear Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Good to see those buds forming slimjim With the 400W they should come along nicely now for ya.I noticed you waited until flowering to add the 400 W, did you just have the cfls before that? If I may make a suggestion for next auto grow to speed them up..my last /1st auto grow when I asked other growers on here about when to add thew 600 W HPS to the tent and most said in the first couple of weeks..which I did in my current grow with nice results. If they are small just start the light really high up and ease them into it slowly lowering it down every couple of days. Unless it is an electricity issue, that I can understand..bills suck Best of luck!Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks for the commentsHi hunters this report is end of week 4 flowering and all doing nicely apart from SMA 1 which looks like it mayhave been overfeed at some pointAdjusted controller settings today to keep temp down a bit, 29c in there today, dont like it that hot as co2i can not add enough of, i got 2 yeast and sugar co2 makers goingRH now down to 44% at 29cThere are some red leaf stems, would cold when they was young cause that now or something else, maybe in the strain?Buds are growing like mad and probably still got 4 weeks leftI hope there are not to many pictures just showing as much of the plant as i canThanks for stopping by not long nowPEACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
