I'm stoked for you Med.

Jojo, glad you got your own stuff going. It will be exciting to see how they turn out and how the smoke is.

Here's a video from friday:

I wonder whether you could mount the lights in a "T" formation on your door to finish them off? Two vertical and the top one horizontal a few inches above the tops of the highest plants.

Cheers,
Mo

Lol it's a little snug in there

 

[Thundercat]

Its REALLY cool that the plants are growing on the lights and not getting burned!!

EThanks jigs. Ok fam for the life of me I can't figure out why in week 4 my leaves turn from a dark green to a lite green I'm thinking light bleaching.my ph was 7.7 maybe that's the problem tds I always under 1200

 

[budbro18]

Yeah its the pH for sure. Drop it down between 5.5 and 6

 

[jojodancer10]

Dubbro thanks a bunch.ph was 7.9for a week.wow I fucked up.so I drained the rez refilled it with cleanwater ph to 5.7. I don't think the color will come back to all the leaves but we will see.next question how soon can I sex my babies.? They are about 3-4 inches

 

[Thundercat]

You can try to force them to sex anytime jojo. If they are mature enough they will show you sex, if they are not it might take a few extra days is all.

 

[budbro18]

Yeah light schedule has a little to do with it too. I noticed when i used to run 24/0 or even 20/4 that my plants wouldnt show sex in veg alot. Id give em a month of veg and theyd be big but barely have a couple pistol showing. Luckily i grew fem strains so i didnt really have a concern/need to sex in veg.

But when i switched to 18/6 i get a bunch of pre flowers in veg now. I also grow mostly indica dom strains so that might have something to do with it too since they flower faster generally.

 

[Dr.D81]

i dont like forcing them they get strechy on me. as far as the preflower it is strain dependent i have had some show preflowers before i have a chance to look for them. Others i have to flower to get anything out of them.

 

[Javadog]

I begin to wonder about this Dr.

I have a few breeds, Smelly Cherry and especially Psycho Killer
that are at at least six weeks, are well matured, but have not shown
sex yet.

As it is, they did not make the cut for the next crop, were not
up-potted into hempys and so that can just keep vegging for
another two months. I expect that I may need to root prune
them when I do up-pot them.

I do not have another 12/12 area to force them in, as the tent
is crammed with a 3X3 array of 5 gallon hempys.

Interesting

I agree about them usually stretching more when they are forced. I think thats what my Sinmints did when I flowered them.

i like to sex a cutting my self you can fit it in the room in a small space and sex it that way

 

[budbro18]

Interesting

Yeah im not entirely sure if it is the light schedule or the fem strains or what. Even though my HOG showed sex in veg as well and it was a reg seed.

But i cant remember the last time i didnt have a strain show sex in veg.

I'm not paying too much attention to what you guys are talking about as I don't grow from s33d. But wanted to mention I've noticed very different behavior from plants when changing timing of lights in different ways. Last grow I lowered the lighting by an hour every few days/ week. So I went from 18/6 to 17/7, etc till eventually I was still vegging them in 14/10. When I flipped to 12/12 they barely stretched at all.

Not sure that applies to anything, but thought I'd put it out there.

Working on the gals today. It's such a mess in here. :/

 

[budbro18]

Thats a solid theory thats probably true. Instead of stretching 6 inches to a foot when flipped they probably grow about 4-8 inches over the course of that time decay while those hormones that tell the plant to flower have time to build up slowly and maybe not shock the plant so much into growing vertically.

Hope you can get the mess under control. That thing is wild!

I'm sweatin to the oldies in this bitch. Fuckin russel simmons in a sweat band lolol.... hahah I mean Gene simmons. hahaha... what the fuck is that dudes name?

My wife is late for her period. FFS! She'll test on friday. Might be another little one on the way. :/ Can't say I'm thrilled, but at the same time I spent my whole life waiting for a child. Can't be mad at God for giving me two. It is a lot to think about though. Will put that off for the mo. Remain stressed about the closet haha.

I'm not really stressed about it though, the closet I mean. It's wild, but worst thing would be to get some bud rot. As long as I keep things off each other it should be ok. Just a lot of work from here till harvest probably. I'm whipping these bitches into shape. I might regret pulling too much this time, but shit... I'm sick of everything just continueing to get bigger and bushier. We are at day 17 of 12/12 already. Quit growing!!!

I'm stoked I decided on a new guitar to buy. I'm gonna get a new 2014 Les Paul Studio in Manhattan Midnight Blue. Can't wait!!!

Also I'm going to visit friends this week. Haven't seen 1 in 15 years, another in 13 years. Will see those two guys on Thursday. Then I'm going to visit 2 more friends, 1 I see often, the other I haven't seen in over 16 years. She was an ex of mine. In 7th grade lol. What the hell does bf/ gf mean in 7th grade anyways ha. She's a lesbian. Makes sense too, she was the only girl I ever kissed that felt really really weird. It was like neither of us knew what we were doing.

Big shouts to SomeGuy for the herb. It's a trip guys. Hard to describe the difference in highs between my stuff and his. I feel like mine hits harder, but shorter. With his I'm high forever. It's nice but so different. Hard to estimate how high I will be a while from now. With my gear if I need to be strait in a couple hours I can blaze away, knowing I'll be quite down by then. With his stuff I'm still as ripped as I was after 15 minutes. Any ideas on the difference? Maybe harvest time? It really is a trip. I tried to think of an analogy, I guess mine would be a drag racer and his a formula car. Nice work buddy.
