Few more pics: Overall they are looking much better. There is one retarded plant that is still very droopy , but I haven't given up on her yet. If she isn't bounced back by flowering time I will probably pull her to make more room. But in general, the perkyness has returned. I am starting to visualize the grow area in full flower, and it seems like it's gonna be a crowded house come flower time unless I keep then very small, around a foot and a half max at the peak of flowering height.


I am still not sure what mistake I made early on with these plants. But they seem to be over it finally. I am just going to water less and more frequently.
Also I think the FF soil I am using is lacking nutes to a degree because it was sitting around for a year or so before I finally used it.

when do you plant on flowering?
The plants are only 3.5-5.5 inches high as of right now. All are on 6th or 7th nodes. I realize they are small for how old they are. Whatever I did to them that made them droop + yellow, I did it good.

I will probably go ahead and do it in a week. This grow is mainly for seed ( i do need to get 2-3 oz. off this grow if possible) and then I will go right into another all female grow for product. I figure 6-7" at flower should give me 1-1.5 foot tall plants.

Well. Today is the first day of 12/12. I decided that even though the plants were a little smaller than I wanted, and even though some of their bottom leaves are F'ed up that I need to start now so that when I go on vacation for Christmas most of the stretching will be over with. So here are some pics of the plants as they go into flower. They are only 4-5.5" tall. I'm still thinking they will be 1ft. +

I may chop the retarded one down to make more room. There are 2 more that are much smaller than the rest...they might get the axe as well, but I may keep them until I see the female count.

I had to buy a new timer from the local hydro shop. It's a digital which I like.

Update: Now day 5 of flower, and they are taking off. I removed the retarded plant, and the other 2 plants that are much smaller than the rest don't seem to be catching up. I will probably remove at least one of those soon as it is very pale ( Pic 1 ).

So it looks like I will be down to 8-9 plants here soon. Which is fine as I have decided that my current space is optimal for only 6-8 plants. Otherwise they are looking pretty healthy, and are growing fast. I have seen many white tips on the leaves on most of the plants, but they seem to be happy with the 400w hanging at about 12-14" above them. Npt sure if the tips are slight nute burn or mild heat stress. I'll move the lights up an inch maybe.

:peace:

Well the first one to show sex is the Feminized Buddha. It's not the largest plant in the world though. I have a feeling that the 2 or 3 biggest plants will be males.Who knows.

you aren't allowed. You signed a contract when you clicked I agree to the terms of use policy that you obviously didn't read.
due to breach of contract, I must confiscate all of your marijuana plants. please have them to me by Friday.

I know. This was right after some "stuff" happened on the site ( not involving myself ) that really changed things for a while. I still miss some of the old vets that used to frequent this place. But of course I had to come back eventually.

Feel free to see my current journal - link in my sig.


Shame :peace:
