looking real nice! How long have they been under 12/12. That was my idea for this grow but decided to go for a month veg. Then flower just to get a little more yield hopefully all this 5 plants are females. Im really intrested on that skunk you got going..people are saying mine might be skunk but i have no idea! Subbed!

Not exactly sure of the age...I had to transplant them early because they were stunted in a low quality mix with poor aeration. Transplanted them last weekend and they've been doing much better since. I'm going to keep throwing down a bean every 3 weeks until I'm perpetual. Good luck with your plants and thanks for subbing :)

Looks like you guys got a real nice thread going on here. I'm also new in the game, running a 400w mh/hps grow. First grow ever so I'm really invested in these 400s haha. I've got a WW baby 10 days old. It seems like it's had slow growth but I just got the Metal Halide on them 2 days ago, and 'Stona Lisa' has doubled in size since. I also have some Blue Mystic that should be here in a week and I'll start one of those girls immediately. I'm just about a week behind you guys. Doogey & Mr.Light your plants are looking great! I will most likely end up tossing the struggler but this one seems to do be doing very well. I'm also working with a lot more room than you guys. Using 4'x4'x8' area. Since I'll be getting the Blue Mystic started later than the WW, I plan on just vegging the WW longer since I only have one ballast so cant switch to the HPS and 12/12 on the BM too early. Excited for you guys' grows and we can all see how we do! I plan on using FoxFarm nutes and use FoxFarm Ocean soil. I need to get a mister, my leaves seem to be a bit dry. I'm sitting at around 30-35% humidity..is this going to be a problem?

From seed, planted 8 got 5 ladies, topped one for two tops and let the others go, using Fox Farms, molasses and cal mag, just tasted quick dry and hi for two hours repotted two cacti, almost ready, per the charts could be as early as this week. Vegged for almost 6 weeks after 2 -3 weeks as seedlings

Hippy, just quick question. You've got one topped for two tops and the others let go. I am curious as to which visibly has more bud and how much more? Significant amounts? First grow her so would you recommend topping or letting go? I know a lot of guides and people swear by the topping thing but I've seen some plants with baseball bats as their main cola. Could you dish out some wisdom from your experience for me? I plan on topping my plants twice and putting them under a scrog. Look forward to hearing from you.

Looks like the topped lady has twice the size of the others and hoping to get more from her but time will tell, seems like two bats are better then one... my little bit of wisdom, Ha!Ha . the biggest issue with topping and getting multiple donkey dick colas is holding them up, OMG, can't wait...

Hahaha that is true but a problem that is never a bad thing to have as a problem! I plan on topping mine twice probably, my WW at least. Since I have 2-3 weeks of extra veg for my Blue Mystic/Black Jack catch up. That will be one big WW momma! Hippy, if i do scrog, probably using 2 screens, will that be enough to hold it up?

Doogey- are those pics day 16 of veg or day 16 of sprout period? I am curious cause my Stona Lisa is almost two weeks old but still seedling/bringing in her 2nd round of leaves. Did you start counting days after 2 weeks of seedling?

The day 16 is actually from when she sprouted. Hope this helps. Doogey420

Dang. I dont even have my 2nd ring of leaves yet at day 13..I guess those first 10 days of just 100w CFL didnt give it much growth. You've got absolutely gorgeous plants for day 16 my friend. I guess we will see who yields the most at the end. ;) I'm excited for you Doogey!

I water three times a day 6am, 2pm and 10 pm. 1 minute intervals. I have digital timers which allows me to do 1 minute. At about 45 seconds I find that the water starts coming out the bottom of my pots. The system is supposed to be a drip, but it comes through at a steady stream so one minute is sufficient. I am using gh flora series nutes and am at 10 ml per gallon of grow, 5ml per gallon micro, and 3ml per gallon bloom. Hope this helps. As Ever, DOOGEY420
