They're still in beer cups and it looks like a shop light is above them. Kinda makes sense that they're taking a bit.
Got em under 4 25w t5s grow lights actually- yeah, not sure what was going on... i increased nutes slowly, they have picked up in the last week after topping them. They need a transplant about now for sure... i had the lights at about 8 to 10 inches at germ, then moved them down to about 5 inches after they got going- seemed pretty stretchy. Gonna throw under the 315w tomorrow morning :cool:

I got all sativa leaners in my pack. One has sativa leaning leaf growth with indica leaning bud formation, that one will be my quickest finisher of the CnC's. I'm thinking around 9 to 10 weeks.
You have to be sure to post finished shots, I'm curious to see what the indica learners looks like.

One pheno I have is a spitting image of the one pictured on the site, just considerably small buds, slightly bigger than my thumb and beginning to ripen.
I actually threw away the clone to that plant because of the bud size, shortly after it reveals itself as an identical pheno pictured on GPS :cuss:
It's still going to be a light yielder but is shaping up to be some real pretty, large calyxed bud. I may do a re veg on her and try one more run, we'll see how she smokes.

Something about getting a spitting image pheno of the one the breeder advertises, gotta dig further:eyesmoke:

On a side note, such valuable plant food in them big fans like that!!
Newer growers like me need nutrient reserve like that, keeps me from chasing my tail so much :bigjoint:
There will be 6 in their place in two days. I do selective striping for light. Once she starts to form bud sites I wont pull anymore. I'll jus tuck. And getting fed daily she gets plenty of food lol.

30 some days from flip. I'm going to finish it with 600 watt Metal halide.
I'm happy with this so far.
I'm finally coming out of the caveman era of closet growing and I got myself one of those ideal humidifiers and a environmental controller.
Now to automate with air pots and autopot trays, valves and floats.

I think the number of nodes and smaller stems is what is kinda slow, not necessarily the height. If you're rollin 100w of t5 you should be doing a bit better.

Is there plenty of fresh air getting to that space? Is there a good amount of air movement? Both of those factors can slow growth considerably. The goal with this is to get the fastest root growth possible, and keep the momentum going. Basically your plants aren't getting the moisture sucked out of their leaves, making them use the water in the medium. Slower root growth will always yield slower top growth. Research plant vpd for a more in depth understanding.

Could be something even simpler. Someone else just said he was having issues with slower veg under t5. Turned out he had bulbs that were just past their prime. Unless you're using led, the bulbs need changed every 6 months to keep everything tip top. When you change your bulbs for your mh/hps you should do your veg too. I've had less dense harvests with hps bulbs on my 3rd cycles repeatedly until I made it a proactive measure, not a reactive one. I usually run 11-12 week plants so I use every bit of the best light the bulb has.

Maybe watering too much, letting the cups get pretty light before watering?

Hope that helps your issue.

On July 28 I emailed customer service about my bogus S1s and was offered a replacement pack, which I ordered and gave Ally the # but then she never responded. The last email I got was an auto response confirming my order on the 31st. I never made an account there so I can't see the order status, so I'm wondering if I just have a pending order sitting there or if they have marked it paid and shipped it, or if shipments are completely suspended or what.

I know they have a lot going on and I don't want to be a haunt but jeez. It's been 10 days. They should at least set up some sort of auto-mail or something. For all I know the order could be cancelled or the seeds could be in transit.

Thanks for keeping me honest- Time to swap the T5 bulbs it sounds like... if I'm going into my 5th run, should i consider getting a new 315 lec bulb too? That puts me in around <10,000hrs use after 4 runs so far, so about half advertised lifespan... how fast do LECs lose their par intensity around/after middle age? I'm also considering a second light too though... Ah, decisions...

unless there was a second round of nabbed gear I doubt it. all that went down right before I emailed them. if it was going to hold things up they should have said so at that time just as a courteous heads up. now I have to wonder if things are held up of if the order got cancelled or something.
