Welp, my grow is still going as it should. I posted an update last night and RIGHT AFTER I did, the site got hijacked. So I guess I'll start off by just reposting my last update.

End of day 10

I'm already nearing the end of day 11, so I'll skip talking about day 10 and post some more recent pics shortly.

For those of you who weren't around for the first thread before the site got nuked, I'm running a stealth box out of an old foot locker. 8" fan, 26w 6500k CFL bulbs, using bag seed.

Dude, she is looking fantastic! I wondered what the heck happened around here! I hadn't been on in a couple of days since my girl got destroyed but I thought I'd check in and see how things were going with you. ALL of my journal entries, avatar, posts, etc. have vanished. So when you say hijacked ... what does that mean EXACTLY????? Our IP addresses, emails and such? PM me and let me know.

Anyway ... back to the grow. I'm glad to see your lady is coming along. Have you decided how long you are going to let her veg before you throw her into 12/12 to determine sex?

Holla!

They just screwed over RIU and made them have to roll back all the posts a while. Which means that my original thread is long gone.

My plant's not doing too well. I transplanted it a day or two ago and I'm unsure which variable is causing it to look so droopy and dried up. I was planning on forcing into flowering tomorrow, but that's only assuming I get it healed up and happy again.

The plant is starting to smell a bit. Like a mix between grass and cat piss. Which surprises me, I wasn't expecting a smell til later into flowering.

But here's some pics. if you have any suggestions what it may be, I'm more than willing to hear it.

Edit: halfway into day... 14? 15? assuming the problem is low humidity and maybe heat (it's been sweltering in here) added a glass of water to evaporate in the box, waiting on it to have some sort of effect. May take 2nd light bulb out if plant doesn't show improvement by the end of the light cycle.

DOUBLE EDIT: Maybe a small dose of some miracle gro?

Probably going to scrap this.

Can't get my plant to come back to life. Personal life has been complete shit. I can't fucking afford a simple thermometer. Haven't smoked any bud in a while. Depression/anxiety going crazy.

Fuck it.

You will be all right bro,, shit happens, i accidently smashed my first plant and was hella pissed but i waited a while till i got better stuff and then started over.. If you are not using nutes right now you should start adding just a little bit:joint:

Began forcing into flowering yesterday. Growth over the first 12 hour dark period was quite substantial. Grew about 2 inches, if not more in those 12 dark hours. Gave it a small hit of nutes and set into day 2 of 12/12 light. Looking forward to the progress after this light period.

I'm late getting into this conversation since your replant but your girl does not look as bad as you probably think. Sometimes the plants go into a little transplant shock for a day or two but they bounce right back and keep it moving. Trust me dude, I have dropped heavy-assed 400 watt lights on my plants and broken major stems off and those ladies still produced their asses off. These are some tough ladies so a little transplant won't kill her. If it is sweltering in the room, however, you want to fix that because heat stress is a growth-stunter. She won't be happy if she's too hot and at her stage of growth you no longer need to bombard her with extreme humidity. Quite honestly my humidity levels indoors have always been below the suggested level on every single grow I've ever done. I maintain somewhere between 25-40% and my girls have all been brimming with crystalline trychomes and resin.

Don't know about the miracle grow plant food dude. I've grown in MG organic soil but have never used the nutes on any of my plants so ... maybe someone with more experience can hook you up there. However, if you do/did decide to feed, use a very low dose till you see her perking up a bit more.

What a difference a day makes! I am soooo glad that you didn't scrap your grow and just say "f**k it". She's in too good of shape to throw her away. Life happens and plants still grow in the midst of life happening so inhale her pungent smell and let it soothe you. :-D Looking forward to seeing "her" sex.

End of day 6 of flowering photo update. Growth seemed to have slowed down, but I think it may be picking back up again. Have a feeling I wasn't getting enough light penetration with my old light rig.

Not yet. Only going into day 9 of flowering tonight. From what I've heard, males show their sex about a week sooner than females, so I suppose that's a little bit of hope.

It does seem to be a bit small and lacking, though. Secondary growth is growing slowly, but definitely getting along.

The smell is getting quite strong. Every time I open my box, a big waft of skunky cloud. Delicious.

Quick update day 29, 13 of flowering.

Tied down the fan leaves earlier today to allow more light to reach into the main stalk and secondary growth. Heavy watering, think I've been lacking in that department (afraid to overwater). The smell is very strong, just an hour and a half into the light cycle. I like to stick my nose in it every now and then to get a good sniff, so the smell is permeated into my upper lip and nostrils. Unsure whether it's male or female (see previous post) I'm assuming male, but giving it a couple more days to show its sex for sure.

Doesn't work that way for me. Needs to be legalized medicinally here. Between chronic anxiety/depression/ocd/add/bi-polar and ptsd, I'm a wreck without it. Before I started smoking i was on medications. Only served to mess me up more, possibly even a minor stroke (I'm unsure, but there have been many signs. This was quite a few years ago and still have troubles)
