First time indoor grow with quantum board

@CG420za, that is a amazing grow diary! I see what you did differently, you only kept the last colas of each side branch, looked like it panned out in the end!

That flower stretch was hectic, think I will switch her over to flower rather earlier than later to compensate for the stretch... still a few weeks of veg left I think...?

Week and a half since my last update, not much has happened... well a few things has... Jack Herer that has been stashed in the outside bathroom every evening for 12 hours seems to have started budding, very small still but at least she responded to the longer nights.

If you look close you can see the small bud points.

Close up of what seems to be the starting of some budding points.

Little Blue Cheese Auto is now a medium Blue Cheese Auto even though I have topped her, I know training for autos is a bad idea, but felt the topping was minimally invasive... 

Huge difference if you look at the last picture I posted a week and a half ago of the little one.

From the side, you will notice the topping I did.

Glueberry that is busy with mainline training is going good except for the fact that I have somehow managed to break off one of the colas, as explained in my previous post. Seeing some stretching of the colas, so that is good.

Northern Lights Auto still going strong in flower, I honestly thought she would be closer to the end by now, but I'm thinking still 4 weeks at least.

Nice and frosty.

As soon as the Northern Lights is done flowering I'm hoping that the Glueberry would be ready to switch to flower, then I'm switching the whole room to a 12 / 12 light schedule.

Awe thanks @Stoukie, If you have enough space to let her get big, I'd say do it. I grew that in a cupboard where space was an issue. I switch over with enough room left in case my plant's height doubles.

Has been 3 weeks and 1 day since my last update, quite a big contrast since my last update so will comment on the ladies in the same order as per my previous update.

First off the Jack Herer, in my last update I just switched the light cycle to 12/12, she is doing very well and the training done to her has set up her quite nicely.

Side view, took the picture outside to see the natural colors.

Top view showing off the beginning of what seems to be a nice bunch of flowers.

Next my Blue Cheese Auto, she grew super fast and looking very strong, looks like she is starting to show signs of flower after 6 weeks of vegging.

20190426_190758.thumb.jpg.526cff2106b7e33992f28ed5b59b6841.jpg

If you look closely you will notice I broke off more than one cola 😳

20190426_190739.thumb.jpg.780b1c762e6ec3f4e7e26d599b864ddb.jpg

Now my pride and joy, the Glueberry, she went through a 10 week training session trying my hand at mainlining, switched her over to a 12/12 light cycle to induce flowering.

20190428_175102.thumb.jpg.f5e533d3c77fd378be75073a40526fbe.jpg

And lastly my Northern Lights Auto, I personally thought she would be done flowering by now, but holding out and checking trichome's every week, but she's still going.

20190428_174935.thumb.jpg.f4c9a52d935926adbdd9fd93cdfebf4f.jpg

Yeah she looks a bit rough around the edges, but she has been through allot 😊

      Hello growers
      I would love to have an opinion on this topic. Let me update you on what I have been working with. I have a one plant indoor grow inside a 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I use a 40l fabric pot with both Orgasoilux and Freedom farms soil (green bag). The bottom half I use Orgasoilux(20l) and the top half I use Freedom farms soil(20l). Throughout veg all I give the plant is Biodyne Environoc 401 (microbes), Molasses and water. This results in an extremely healthy plant.
      Once I flip to flower I start using organic bottled nutrients. In the past I have used Biobizz Bio-bloom, and more recently I have used Dirty hands inc - Bio-Phos (Jamie's brand). I give 3ml Bio-Phos once a week early flower and up it to 5ml every week mid to late flower. Plus a molasses feeding every 2 weeks and stopped using Biodyne microbes 1 week into flower.
      I was thinking about completely ditching bottled nutrients and going the topdressing route for flower. I was thinking of maybe topdressing a week before the flip with Jamie's elemental blend. I am just worried if it will provide enough for the plants through to harvest. I was also thinking of maybe using my own topdressing blend of Dry kelp, Gypsum, Malted Barley and Worm Castings. Would love an opinion on switching to topdressing for flower and if the elemental blend should be more than enough to take me to harvest. If you think I should just stick to bottled nutrients for flower let me know. I am going to include photo's of my 2 previous grows using the method I have stated above. Just trying to get the best quality flower possible :)
      Some thoughts of mine...…
      Topdressing vs Liquid Nutrients?
      Biobizz Bio-Bloom vs Dirty Hands Inc Bio-Phos?
      One topdressing enough 1 week before flip?
      Elemental Blend or my own flowering mix?
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      My Grow:
      Medium: Top Half Freedom Farms soil (20l) + bottom half Orgasoilux(20l)
      Additives and Amendments: Molasses + Biodyne Environoc 401 Microbes + Dirty Hands Inc - Bio-Phos + Mycoroot (seedling)
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Seedling)
      - Solo Cup + Freedom Farms soil + Mycoroot
      -Transplant in week 2 of veg to 40l
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Veg Stage)
      - initial inoculant 2ml Environoc Microbes
      -1ml per litre  Environoc every 2 weeks
      -5ml per litre Molasses every 2 weeks
      -Stop Environoc 1 week into flower
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      (Flower Stage)
      -3ml Bio-Phos every week (early flower)
      -5ml Bio-Phos every week (late flower)
      -5ml Molasses every 2 weeks
      -Stop Bio-Phos 2 weeks before harvest
      -Feed molasses until harvest

      First time growing photoperiods, quite excited. 

      Genetics
      Hiroshima by Renegade Seed Co.  6 Pack

      High THC, and according to the product description should deliver "high yields of dense, rock-solid buds."  Hoping to achieve that.
      Want to make one a mother and start learning to clone. The description says "These highly stable genetics produce two phenotypes at most." Should be easy to choose a winner to reveg.
      They advise topping, which I am also looking forward to learning. Want to also try "FIM" a plant or two to experiment. 
      Grow Setup
      Same as before. Here
      ~
      Lets go 
      9 November
      Seeds arrived. Also received a Promotional 2 Pack of G-Fawke.

      10 November
      Seeds into a glass of spring water. Onto a heating mat and into a dark cupboard to soak for 18 hours.

      11 November
      Seeds started showing roots. All 6 seeds popped, gently took them and placed them root facing down in Jiffy Preforma Plugs. 
      Covered the holes slightly and into the ROOTiT Small Propagator they go. Heating mat underneath, and gently misted with spring water. Also threaded the hygrometer reader through a ventilation hole, to see the environment reading. 
      I think this reading is fine for germination. Any and all feedback welcome.

      Hoping for them all to push out effectively over the coming days. In hindsight I should have maybe done the paper towel method to get the roots longer, before putting them into the plugs. I've also previously had a failed germination where I watered a bit much, so just gently misting this time as to not drown/stunt the seeds.

      Hi everyone, 
      I am currently looking to purchase an indoor setup for myself. Nothing fancy or big. Just enough to be a new hobby. I am always willing to invest in more stuff later, just dont have the money right now.
      So basically my budget is Around R5k. I am willing to go over, but anything lower is always preferred.
      I got a quote form MarijuanaSA and want a few opinions on it, or just a whole new quote for those that are willing to make one.

      It seems to have all the important items in it. I can buy a few items that do the same at lower prices, like on takealot. I am looking at 0.8x0.8 or a 1x1 tents. What would be better? I want to grow around 2 to 3 plants at a time.
      Then, I would really like a cheaper light to use but just cant seem to find a good option that is less than 1k...
       
      So basically, I am asking for assistance in selecting all the basic items for my first ever indoor grow. Whatever saves me the most money and gives me enough items to get away for at least 2 harvests before investing more.
      I already have soil and pots from my outdoor plants.
      Any help will really be appreciated as I barely know what I am buying with indoor growing equipment.
       
      I have a small list of just a few items that I am putting together to use as a purchasing guide. Here it is for a general idea of what im currently looking at:

      Good morning growers. 
      Currently have two plants vegging in my indoor setup and I noticed this morning my one plants is start to show pistils?? The light cycle has has been on 18/6 since seedling and hasn't changed since. Was wondering why one of the plants is showing pistils while it's under veg? I thought pistils only come once u flip to flower under 12/12 cycle. Not very happy because I wanted to still veg out the plants for longer and recently just topped them. If anyone can give an explanation that would be great👌😉. Plants have been happy the entire time with no deficiances, problems or stress. I would say it's been a perfect grow so far. And they are photo periods not autoflowers. Is it possible for the plant to shoot pistils and show its sex while still in veg?? Or is it guaranteed flipped. Thanks guys would appreciate your knowledge on this topic
