Dennis 62 simple grow #13

Thanks @SilvaBack203 they are so tiny lol, cant wait either. @DEEPDIVERDAVE Yep mgpm works okay with my well water, and I don’t have ph problems till later in grow when peat starts breaking down. I can’t get additional any thing here in middle of nowhere, I am stuck with mg alone, I can’t attract attention bringing large packages to my apartment, nosey neighbors lol. Hope your little one is okay, hate helmet heads, seems to happen to me a lot, but surgery fixed em. Your tents look very busy my friend, I saw other posts, looks good man. Yes miracle grow is all our hardware store carries so I have to make it work, I have used it for 13 grows and have pretty good success, I learned a lot from this forum and things just keep getting better. Anyway man happy growing

Speaking of Miracle Grow, from last century when nobody made products for MJ (70-80).
I found MIRACID fertilizer box for plants (acid loving) granular product, by MJ. At least, it didn’t kill as many as I have.

Good morning everyone, all 3 are up and running, happy and healthy :smiley: :+1: I have a 6" fan blowing on them, and I only used a couple spoons full of water in the last 3 days, so later today I will mix some speedy veg and water them with a enough to wet root zone, again remember that the rest of the soil is dry so excess water is not a problem, no nitrogen in speedy veg, macro and micro nutrients so no burning the seedlings. Here’s lemon berry

Cherry gar see ya

Happy growing yall, have a good day :smiley

Hey you guys, I am so happy to have little ones to take care of, lol the girls are doing fine, happy and healthy… I used a single 16 oz cup of water with speedy veg split between all 3 yesterday, so about 5 oz pre plant poured around each, I do not dome quite the opposite I put a fan on them and make them dance, and because they are not quite under the light they lean into the light so all day I turn the pots 180* making them bend the other way back and forth, giving them exercises lol. Okay back to water, I used a full 16 oz 5 days ago for each pot, dampening a few inches around and below the seed, now I dampen all the places roots are exploring per the size of the plant. Because there is dry soil around the roots, the tips reach out to dry but won’t grow further till future watering dampens further out and down till watering to run off, thats a couple weeks away. I like MG potting mix, it breathes fairly well, and I subscribe to the fact roots need oxygen to a certain extent, I treat it like coco, I don’t water every day, but I don’t let it dry out Ever, I see where people stress out their babies by letting them dry too much all the time. Air is like water it is invasive, it finds its way in if given a chance like my dry surrounding soil. I end up with a great healthy root ball even in these plastic pots, I never let water sit in trays and this allows air in the bottom even down the sides, here is a normal root, nice white and healthy.


So I always keep root zone damp not saturated, and in the dry soil you cant over water, I call it watering to the size of the plant, at least wetting the soil twice as deep as the plant is tall or more, and further out from the tips of the leafs are wide, I water at this stage every 2 to 3 days flooding the root zone by size of plants, till the leafs are wide as the pot, for me that is around week 2 to 2 1/2 at which time I water to run off every other day. Anyway this how I start my kids and they seem to like it. So here’s the closet today and the girls are doing fine not stretching too much, watching close. The auto Pluto has a nice thick stem, but all looking great, and I am always suprized by how fast they grow :slight_smile: :smiley:

Today was just exercising my kids all is well here. Happy growing yall

Oh happy day, I took a chance starting my plants before getting notice of apartment inspection, but as it turns out I was just about perfect :smiley: inspection is on the 21st so the girls will be 2 1/2 weeks old and small enough I can hide!!! If I had been a week earlier could have been a problem. Im so happy I got a two week head start and all is well with my world. UPDATE ON THE GIRLS : everything is going fine, I wet the soil pretty deep for the new tap root, I used about 10 ounces of speedy veg water per plant, so all good here and will just keep on keeping on. Happy growing yall.

@Dennis62 In 1983, I thought MG’s product Miracid was good for my plants. No real selection available. However, today, I added 1/4 TBS (tablespoon) and retested my 6.5 PH garden ready water (measured ten minutes ago. Above 8.0 PH? Well, that was surprising. PH down supply water used to bring garden daily water to 6.5, ready for use. Awaiting Jacks purchase.

@DEEPDIVERDAVE I am not familiar with that product, I have not used any mg fertilizers since first grow, after that I use organic fertilizer, this grow I am trying jacks 321 on at least one plant, organic other two. See how it works for me. I have to use mg potting mix, but I like what my organic nutes do but 3x more expensive than jacks. But being in mg I don’t introduce extra nutes besides speedy veg for a few weeks. Ppm on fresh pot when I get to watering to run off in in the 2000s pretty hot soil :smiley:

Happy day, had a friend stop by and gave me two 1/8 jars from the dispensery :smiley: A real treat for me, I don’t get to compare tested 26.5 thc to what I grow, especially at 44 bucks an 1/8 lol that is 350 an ounce thats crazy. My last grow costs about 160 and i harvested 10.5 ounces of dispensery quality bud for 15 bucks per ounce for cryin out loud. That’s robbery. I’m grateful to my friend and I will enjoy this Banana

And the girls are doing fine today, I watered them with one 16 oz cup of phed water at the base of each plant to water deep and second cup on the outside of the leafs reach. Still have dry soil around and below the he moist zone, so streachin roots get good oxygenation. But all happy and healthy, I also raised my light to 22 inches not worried about streach anymore.


Hope you guys are having a good day Happy growing :smiley:
