Day 26. Plant 1 and Plant 2. LAST DAY OF VEGITATION YAYYYY!!!!
I can't really tell if they grew because i still look at them every 5 minutes but i think so. The only significant change i noticed since i started giving it superthrive is the smell got twice as strong...

THey are looking nice, so you're ready to start 12/12 ? Waiting for them to show their sex is the killer. I would examine them several times a day when waiting for mine to show. Bet you are itching to start sprouting those pencils now aren't you?
Here's a pic of Luci's lovely growing nugs. Hopefully in 3 weeks you'll be looking at something like this too

Your plants looks very nice. Cfls are great for veg but you need a lot of watts for flowering or your buds wont get hard or get you as stoned. The buds are much looser then with HID's. One 400whps bulb puts out 50'000 lumens or more depending on brand and 4 100w 6700k Cfls put out 6400 lumens.

Sounds good that you got some PPP going too. If i get females from this bagseed, then it will be at least 1 month or two before i start any. Ya i am flowering small but im not worried about some bagseeds when i got feminized Pure Power Plant waiting to go in my veg room.
Thanks for the tipp bubba but i use CFl's because i want to not because i think they are better. I made the choice not to use HID lights. 50,000 Lumens is way too much light for just two plants. All you need to grow efficiently is 5000 lumens per square foot. Im not worried about lumens anyways, if i did i would go buy some 12,000 Lumen 200 Watt CFL's.

And actually four 105 Watt 6500K Cfl's would put out more than 25,000 Luminous Flux.

Yeah ill be fucking glad if i get at least 1 fmale but if not i won't be too disapointed to be starting some feminized plants,

Man i was thinking about this earlier and i really don't think it's too early. It's actually pretty damn close to what i wanted it to be by now.
I'm sure it's gunna get a lot bigger in 12/12. Especially now that im switching out the 23 Watt 6500K bulbs for 42 Watt 2700K bulbs
Oh yeah that is plant 1 by the way.
So things are good. 50-60 more days and their's a good chance im gunna be chopping down some good smoke.

Dr. i think you saw mine and i just wanna say my plants looked just like that, nice and short and bushy and i didn't start flowing till they were about twice as big but either way i think you should start to germ those other seeds soon since you know there F and if worst comes to worst you'll have a backup ready to grow, ya know?

Yup that is the plan.

I would germ more but i don't have another place to veg sprouts... So that's why i put these under 12/12 tonight so i can find out sex hopefully next week. And then ill go from there.

thats a good plan...we always gotta think ahead..i just started germing like 10 or so seeds two days ago...im gonna go check on them in a few min actually maybe plant them in a day or two...i have some flouro grow lights (tubes) im gonna put them in an old tank hopefully it'll work as a veg room maybe not the whole time though. by then my girls will be harvested if everything goes as planned

That's awsome. I just don't want to germ them now and end up getting females now because i wont have room for it and ill have to chop a seed i paid for. Not going to happen. I'll wait.

I gotcha, i misunderstood for a second there...but ya its def not worth it if you don't have the room right now. especially since you paid for good seed...thats kinda why i like how im just doing the whole trial and error thing with bagseed, just seeing what i can do..i think im gonna buy some real seeds by next spring..where did you get them?
