i am kinda stumped i am pretty sure tho its ether the frount row in the middle round pot or  second row on the left hand side the second one from the end the one to the left of the seedling in the middle on the second row at that stage tho it is kinda hard to tell because it will look similar to any other white strains you might have going and jack herer when young can kinda resemble GWS altho it tends to have more rounded leafs then sharp.

im pretty sure its the frount row center but that one in the in the second row is bothering me as it gets older i can say for sure tho

[greenomatic87]

actually im pretty sure it is the frount row middle after looking at it again

Check for some double serrated edge like on the exodus cheese, i pretty sure it is a sign of the GWS and one of the reason for her name (like sharks have many raws of teeth too you know ^^)

Like Greeno i hesitate between one on the front raw, and one on the left and second raw
Good luck man

THANKS MATES !I THINK YOUARE RIGHT. IF IT IS THE SERRATED LEAVS PHENO THEN IT IS IN THE MIDDLE ON THE HEATING PANNEL, PROBABLY THE BIG GRAPEFRUIT IS IN THAT ROUND POT.

update day 14!!!

i am having a bit of a problem i need help with.  being new to this medium i made a rookie mistake from watering to close to the stem and with the medium how it requires frequent watering i damaged the stem on the powderfeeding plant i exsposed the area and took pictures to show you guys . i feel kinda like a dumbass for making yet another rookie mistake in my defence i am trying something new that i have never done before in using a medium that requires frequent hand feeding i am used to the hole dry wet cycle but ether way i need to know how to proceed my mo;m suggested i take tape and wrap it around the effected area i was just wondering if anyone has had this problem before and if the plant will recover.

green o matic powderfeeding ( sick plant )







Green O Matic flora nova (healthy plant looking fine !!!) probably the only reason i am not drowning my sorrows in a big fat blunt right now. actually that doesent sound all that bad of an idea.

Seeing as how I have just begun to use the GHSC 'Hybrids' powder feeding on my plants since switching to 12/12 cycle, I will be following this thread with great interest as well. Especially since I was not able to locate any customer reviews for this product. I was lucky enough to receive 2 free bags of GHSC powderfeeding nutes. I got the 'Hybrids' and 'Short Flowering' Powderfeeding through a friend who is friends with a grower who has won several Cannabis Cups here in Toronto, including this years event. GHSC supplies anything and everything he may need, and thus, through this mutual friend I was lucky enough to be offered the 2 bags of GHSC powder feeding nutrients.

Anyway, I just begun using GHSC feeding powder about 2 weeks ago at the start of 12/12 and thus far, they are looking ahead of where my latest (S.A.G.E.) harvest was at 2 weeks into flowering using the Botanicare line of nutrients. PRO Grow, PRO Bloom, Hydroplex, Silica blast, and Liquid Karma. Botanicare is a proven with me, and I feel GHSC powderfeeding will do me proud as well. Unfortunately, I'm not growing S.A.G.E. this time around, so I cannot make comparisons, but I am pleased thus far.

Best of luck with your grow, and keep us updated. Grassy ass!


PS: Great site! Love the forums here, and the respect given by other members. It's refreshing. The chat option is pretty cool as well. Nice work GSHC!

Hey G..I was thinkin about you bein down on the bit of bad luck you been havin and I wanted to let you know something that hopefully will give you some encouragement since I'm a newb without any helpful advice. Every time I read one of your posts I'm impressed with your knowledge and how much detail and passion you put into growing. On top of that you take chances and are willing to experiment and go outside of your comfort zone to try new things and become a better more well rounded grower. That isn't easy...bravo bro..I hope things look up for you Thanks for sharing and learning for us.

[Bam-Bhole]

I suggest using clone gel for repair, the stickiest kind you can get your hands on plus clay pebbles ! This time I ordered me a 5 Kilo bag for not much money and put some in the bottom of each pot and some on top. Why ?
I hope this makes watering from afar cleaner and helps flushing. it also kind of supports the stem a bit.
Besides that not that much you can do..if i was you I'd just pop 2 new beans in case of mergency..it is always better to have more plants than you  really need before they are in flowering and past the worst...
Good luck G.

smokey: that post made my day bro, its funny like it can be quite nerve racking trying something new, its great tho that you guys understand that when on a new learning curve your gonna make mistake's from time to time but having people that are encouraging and not negative and spiteful makes it much easyer to feel free to try something out of my comfort zone without feeling like an idiot for trying something new or different.

growing has been a hobby of mine ever since i saw my first weed plant in real life, long before i even planted my first seedling i was obsessed reading and watching everything i could get my hand's on about it, because it such an obsession of mine i dont wanna learn just how to grow well in soil i wanna work on every grow method i can until i am comfortable with them all.

this site makes it much easyer tho like on other forums i wouldent have posted the mistake i made because i would of took shit for it but here i didnt even think about it cause i new that i wouldent be made out to look like a fool for trying something different and i have always been a believer in supporting peoples attempts to learn new techniques with growing i meen after all if people didn't experiment with growing techniques we wouldent be anywhere near as advanced with the knowledge we have today on growing techniques, knowledge that makes it possible for beginners to actually come out of the gate swinging.

its not so much like the old days of trial and error where most growers had to teach them selfs most of what they know. so hopefully people seeing this will learn from the mistakes i have made this time around.

Bam-Bhole: rooting gel i dont no why i didnt think of that. unfortunatly i think its alittle to late for that i tryed giving it the hydrogen peroxide treatment yesterday but no matter what i have done the plant is just getting worse and worse i woke up today and the leafs had completely drooped and have started to change color, basically at this rate it will be a miricle if it comes threw.

about the popping extra seeds i would defiantly do this but the laws in Canada are werid about seedlings they count as an extra marijuana plant doesent matter if it's full flowering or just a 5 day old baby , so i always try to keep my numbers to just what i plan on growing. For my emergency i have access to clones whenever i want.

as for the clay pebbles, its funny i never could understand why people used them until i started growing in coco, coco and perlite just don't compact the way soil does, if you pour water to quickly it makes huge craters on the surface of the soil so i am definatly gonna pick up some clay pebbles

Update day 17

ok so today when i woke up the the green o matic receiving the powderfeeding took a turn for the worse it just wasent recovering the leafs where yellow and lifeless so i decided its better to take her down and start fresh so unfortunatly this grow isent gonna be as much of a straight up comparison i am out of green o matic seeds so i had to make a decision ether finnish off this grow with just the one plant doing the flora nova or plant something else i made the decision to plant a exodus cheese seed as am really interested in trying this strain the timing will make it possible for me to give the cheese plant a suffcient veg period and at least this way i will still be able to show a plant with the floranova and a plant with the powder feeding.

the exodus cheese plant is gonna receive about ruffly 3 weeks veg and then the flowering of 8 week's and i am really growing it as a test because i have alot of exodus cheese seeds and i have heard great things about this strain so if i like it i will be doing a couple rounds of exodus as it is a relatively fast flowering hybrid so i feel it will do well with the indica powderfeeding , its not the most ideal situation but i had to improvise since the death of my last green o matic and i prefer not to do 3 plants with 300 W's two maximum.

as for the green o matic plant receiving the Flora Nova it is doing extremely well the vegitation if thick and everything is tight it gets bigger every day, the plant actually has a strong odor even tho it is young which didn't happen the last time i grew green o matic, it also looks like i got a different phenotype then i am used to with green o matic because th4e leafs are alot thicker and rounder then i remember and have a different formation but i guess i will just have to wait and see it is day 17 and everything seems to be going good today i upped the nutirents to the level on the bottle suggested for plants in early growth stages 1.25 ml / per L of floranova from along with 0.40 ml of bud candy per L the ph is adjusted to 5.5 and i am focusing on giving more of a dry wet cycle doing bigger feedings ast once and then longer period of rest the plants.

Green O Matic Receiving FloraNova & bud candy

[Dust]

damn sad to hear she didn't make it

But it's a bad for a good, the exodus is one of my favorite GH strain defintly, and i'll do her very soon again too ^^
The resting girl is looking very nice man,

Thanks for the update
Have a good grow

[Bam-Bhole]

Sad to hear about the other plant but shit like that happenes, you never know if a plant makes it untill they are flowering and in their final big pots. Just pushed over 2 of my girls in round air root pots, damn the bottoms are open and after watering the room is a mess and stinks from all these nutes So I wanted to clean up the mess get the plate beneath in the half dark and everything pushed over in the middle of the night, used the time to do some heavy transplanting. Now I kno which one the GWS is. It has that terrible smell of the root system, so i put it in the bigest pot around - 4 gallon instead of 2. I just hate it dealing with plants on podests. I have a few too many plants anyway I fear. Time to put up the other 400 watt lights.
Next time I will grow on Hydro ebb + flow or something like that, something without dirt..
Tired of that mess ..
Out of bad comes something good always and the fact you grow Ex cheese is very good news. Like that strain.

On my menu for another grow circle are Kushs , Cheese and Lemon Skunk , but first I gotta finish this endeavor, then it is time for a break till spring.

Okay G. all The Best and I hope to learn from your mistakes..

Any Idea what to use as a bottom tray for 10 plants ? . Cleaning up everyday (taking 10 plants out of the grow room and put back later) is a nightmare..
Peace

BAM

[Dust]

you can check in ikea if you find some kind of buckets to put the dresses or srtock anything under beds etc, often they are flat and can be big.

Or you can also try to find a tray made for that, Fuzzy uses some nice under his plants, and i think there is a link at the beginning of his grow, check his thread

Good luck Bam

sorry that post above was just me trying to figure out how to post bacuse the forums being fixed. anyway tho since i havent figured out how to post pictures yet i thought i would give alittle written update.

the exodus cheese plant is on day 3 since it popped out the soil, the floranova green o matic plant is doing great rediculously good actually the stock is extremely strudy the leafs are lush every thing is super tight. two of the lateral branchs have already passed the main fan leafs and are compeating with the main cola and the vegitation around the main stem is to thick it was actually a struggle to see if it the first femail pistals have popped up and i am happy to say that in just 22 days from seed and the first pistal's have shown.

this is the earlyest i have personall had with the green o matic plant in previous grows it happend on the 24 and 27th but this time arounhd the 22nd i supect this has to do with the thicker vegitation.

the only thing bad i have to say about floraNOva so far is that it is alittle hot i tryed slowing working up to the suggested levels on the bottle for early vegitave growth and saw specs of nute burn long before reaching the suggested limit and havend been able to use the dose on the bottle.

the coco however is pretty amazing when you start to get the hang of it, it it much easyer to correct mistakes in coco if you catch it right away then in soil, since it has a good balance of oxygen even when its wet you can just flush out the excess and then added a lighter formula.

[greenomatic87]

<p>these pictures where taken on day 22. the ph is set at 5.5 and the temperature a little hot at 27 degrees the plant is doing great like mentioned in the post above hopefull these pics show up
and this is the exodus cheese on day 3. in the picture its day three but i am on day 4 now and its doing pretty good

[Bigbrown]

Beauties mate! They are THRIVING, easy to
see(even for a newb like me).
Tons of more strenght then mine by that age,
and yeah from what u can see the stem is very thick,
i hope u will get a massive 100cm bud man.

Goodluck and keep the good job up bro!

[Smokeythabear]

Big and little sister both looking great bro! Your definitely right about how lush the greeno-matic is, it's got great colour and looks like a little shrub already! Is this your first cheese strain you've grown? I will be interested in the smell as it progresses..I LOVE the cheese smell..it always makes me hungry though lol

[PencilJoe]

you do a great job my friend, nice branches for this age looks awesome....
keep updating please would love to see those beauties in flower and full mature

have a heathy grow PJ
