Hey brother, how has it been?
-As far as how long I am going to be vegging: I am going to veg until I have anywhere between 6-10 tops per plant/each plant is a foot tall.
-It should be a good time man......I am super excited for this grow! I have high hopes for this one! Especially considering how much I learned on my 1st grow! :)

Most say 12/12 from seed takes 3-4 weeks to show sex.

This is where I am at. ( I started 12/12 after the sprouts were 6-10 days old)
1/10/2012 = Day 18 from seed. (THREE SPROUTS)
1/10/2012 = Day 14 from seed. (TWO SPROUTS)
1/10/2012 = EIGHT nights of 12/12 have ALREADY happened.
----> And I am starting to see signs of sex.

How much time do you think you added to the grow cycle by force flowering and revegging?

I usually see preflowers in straight veg around week 4-5... It seems maybe you are losing time by flowering early when you could just let them veg and show sex on their own...

Saw this coming.....


1. I would have to re-pot them before they get that big (12/12 does not create as massive of a root system as vegging constantly would have), making me use soil for 5 pots.....5 gallon each...THEN WASTE SOIL ON MALES THAT RESULT after 4 weeks! Fuck that. I am poor.
2. NOT ALL STRAINS are going to show you sex that early.....some not at all until flower....I WAS NOT GOING TO RISK IT, they are bag-seed.

TRUST me on this....I think about my grow consistantly, TOO MUCH I would say sometimes....and have thought about it every which way.......this was the best way for me to SAVE MONEY.....IT IS NOT ABOUT TIME! Just figured I would clarify that.....I am poor, this is a poor mans grow....Hence the cfl.

Why would you need such a big pot for such a short veg?

You could even keep them in party cups till they showed sex.

Im not trying to knock your grow bro, just asking legitimate questions ;)

Trying to help if I can ;)

Im all about saving money when you can.

Stroll through my thread when you get a chance, you would be amazed about what you can grow on a budget ;)

Whatever you say man.

I am NOT going to veg in party cups for a month/month and a half. Fuck that. A BUSH IN A PARTY CUP??????

ALSO: I can barely make rent.....I cant go buy 3 gallon or anything else. What I HAVE is 2, 5-gallons. ..... I WAS GIVEN THESE..... (I am going to work with what I have) no money for shit. I am not going to see A DIME from my new job until say......a week into feb.

You are welcome to watch my grow with the money and resources that I DO HAVE though.

Read above....! (I was given the containers. I have no money to buy shit else.) And honestly, for lsting and bushing out my plants for soo long, I am pretty sure I would go with a 3 gallon if it were my choice.

Not sit back and watch, or don't. ;)

Thanks....
-I just want it understood that I have thought about a shit ton of different scenarios, growing set-ups, (I overthink everything I do) and have done literally hundreds of hours of research, preparation, and just plain planning in my head until this grow had been looked at from every angle.
-Sorry I am in an off mood, bad day.
-I have made a many critical decisions on this grow, and I am happy with all of them.

Again sorry for my sour mood.
---> I should be updating semi soon.

Man, now I feel super bad for being all sour N shit.....Thanks brother!

Yeah.....THE REASON I AM SOUR: I have been waiting on my red card to show up for a MONTH and ten days.....I ran out of my last (homegrown) stash at the 1st of this month....Now I have to bug my pals to go to the weed store for me....Sometimes they get bummed on it...I am ALWAYS bummed on buying weed, Especially when I can't afford it.

-I Use General Organics....the box.

Kind of kicking myself for not taking clones....but this time around I am going to stay perpetual.
