Brandan's Perpetual Grow

[Brandan]

Well this will be my first grow ever. I am a medical marijuana patient and have been planning my grow for about 2-3 months. I am actually building a 6x6x6 1/2 room. It was going to be started/finished last night but had family emergency and couldn't get to it.

 

But I will be growing under a 600 watt MH conversion bulb for Veg and changing it to a HPS to flower. I have a 6 inch 424cfm inline fan for the room for ventilation and helping with heat because i dont have a cool tube, just a reflector. I will be using Fox Farm Happy Frog Soil along with their Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom nutes. I will be planting in 3 gallon buckets this grow, may try bubbleponics next. The strain I have is called Blue Julie Ann, the mother was a Blueberry x Cindy99 and the father was a Jedi. so I have pretty high expectations They are not feminized or anything so I may end up with one female i keep in veg for a while longer to cut clones to get 4-5 good plants, but we will see. (I have some pics of my stuff that I will put up later, left camera at friends.)

 

7.24.10 -I took 4 seeds and put them in a cup with some water to start the germination.

 

7.25.10- 2 of the seeds have sunk the other two are floating.

 

7.26.10- 3 of the seeds sunk, i tapped the top of the remaining floater and she sunk also .. (So Since my room is still under construction and we still have a month or so of good sunlight left, i am going to put these ladies outside for a week max till room is ok) I took 4 plastic red party cups, poked like 3 holes in the bottom of each, filled them up with some happy frog, got the soil very wet with some R.O. water that i PHed. I let those sit for about a half hour, then i got my seeds, at this point all of the seeds have cracked and on 3 i can see the taproot coming out, i plant them in the little red cups and I set them out in the sun..

 

so that is where I am at today I am pretty sure that all my research and planning will help me in the long run. I just cant wait for these ladies to start growing..

I have 2 of these Blue J A"s getting ready for flower.

Mine streched pretty good all the way to this point (1 at 3ft 1 at almost 4ft).

Hope it slows down some in flower.

Enjoy the grow, and good day!!

Santa, u said they r 3 foot in veg?? How long have u been vegging them? If u have any pics it would be great! How are u growing them??

[Santas_Helper]

In soil, the Fox Farms Ocean Forest. From seed germ. I put in the small peat pots, sprouted and grew 3in in a week. Now I do keep my light close, but I had to pay close attention to these.

6 weeks now, and they seem out of control. Maybe going to flower will help, maybe not, either way it's going to be interesting to try this new Lady out. Enjoy!!

[Brandan]

So I take it u r outside? Lol that would be somuch cheaper, maybe when I get some land I'll build a greenhouse for use in the spring/summer/fall

[Santas_Helper]

No, indoors, only 8ft ceiling, 2- 4ft 7in sq rooms. 1 veg and 1 flower.

I have seen a lot of grows

But

this is the first i have seen assisted by Santas Helper

Fingers crossed 4 girls brandan

Excellent assistant

[Brandan]

I am hoping for 4 girls lol the seeds r not feminized or anything so I could possibly turn out 4 males as long as I get at least one female I can cut 3-4 clones from I will be ok.. May take a little longer but eh...... Lol

[Brandan]

Checked my babies today.. Nothing new, hoping maybe tomorrow I will have a couple sprouted up out of soil

[stopmypain]

I have the same strain, just moved them inside.. Mine r 1 3ft. 2 r like 2 1/2 ft. I all lady's so far from seeds I go.

[Brandan]

That sweet Josh, I would assume from the genetics that these would be a bit smaller, well not smaller but shorter.. Glad u got all girls so far.. I may end up shortening my veg stage if these ladies decide to get that tall.. U have any pics Josh? Curious as to how these ladies will be looking..

[Brandan]

Yay! Checked the girls earlier abd all 4 have broke through the ground on one the pre leaves are opening up, on the other 3 they are just comming up over the ground. Soil was still moist so now water today, but tomorrow i will add some i have pics but im unsure how to add them

Took these this morning;

the second one is clearly a little stronger the the other 3.

not the best pics but i had to use my phone, turned off gps so no locations data on pics . but better than no pics.

7.31.2010 So i measured them today and plant 1 is 1 1/4 inches, plant 2 is 1 3/4 inches, plant 3 is 1 1/4 inches , and plant 4 is 1 1/4 inches...

[Brandan]

Ok , I have a few days worth of pics I'll be putting up a little later, wow have they started to get big. I can see a new set of leaves growing on each one. Pretty excited.

[Brandan]

My girls are getting big..All of them have a second set of real leaves popping up in the middle..

[Brandan]

[Brandan]

here are some pics i took today.. looking really strong

2 & 4 seem to be bending/leaning so i put a small stick in there for them to lean on i guess lol

 

 

 

[Brandan]

all of them have a second set of leaves.. I was thinking of possibly adding a little more soil to each of them, maybe it will help strengthen the stems??? Your guys opinions are more than welcome, I hope i am not the only one looking at thing.. lol

 

 

 

[AbsoluteRoyal]

everyone always says to put a fan on them to strengthen up the stems. When you transplant I would bury them right up to the first leafset anyway so it wont really matter. This will cause the stem that is buried to root.
