Now it's day 16, and they're exploding with growth.

Comments/questions/suggestions welcome.

nice......

i dont know if its the camera or the light. but i see speckles on your plants.


what kind of soil did you use?

have you added nutes yet?

it looks like your soil is not organic and your plants have nute burn

nice plants for 16 ds

It's organic soil, and I haven't used nutes yet, I think it's a combination of the lights/camera and me compressing the images, because there are a few spots from where I splashed water on them accidentally and they were under the light but no others.

Damn man you got a good eye, thanks for the input!

yeah for 2 weeks they're looking lovely man. I wish you knew the strain. they're gonna be BUSHYYY.. i can tell.

I wish I knew it too, it was some bagseed but from some nice stuff I got a while back.

I checked them again today, they were a bit heat-stressed, I had reflectors all around them with a small fan blowing on them but it wasn't enough, so I removed the reflectors and now the white walls + mylar wrapping paper are going to have to do their job. They did grow about another inch though, one of them is just looking gorgeous, I'm gonna take some clones once they mature to sex them and get some mothers started.

Alright, here's some pics from day 17, some of the plants got seriously heat-stressed because I'm an idiot and set the AC to fan instead of cool, and it doesn't help much when it's just mixing around 90+ deg air, so now I have the AC back on and they should start to recover pretty quickly, some of them showed bad signs of heat stress and others show minimal or none.

The largest plants are about 7" tall and are on their 6-7th node, some of them are tiny in comparison and once I find out whether they're male/female I'll remove them, I'm going to take some clones off the ones that are big enough at the end of the week.

The roots are getting massive, and I may have to set them in their second box of soil and let them grow into it.

So it's 220w of HID light, room at 78F constant now (it was over 100 when I went in there), fan gently blowing the leaves, pH is a little high at 7, I'll be adjusting it down as I water the next few times.

And there's one pic of one I found growing outdoors after just throwing some seeds on the ground a while ago.

I suggest getting them in separate containers. I made the mistake way back when of putting all my plants in one container that was only 9 inches deep. They got rootbound and was next to impossible to split apart.

What I did was drill a bunch of big big holes in the bottom of the container, then I put a wet plastic flexible cutting board beneath it, when they start to get rootbound I'll remove the cutting board and set the whole thing in a bigger box of soil and let them continue growing the roots into that container through the holes.

still looks like nute burn to me, even organics can burn, i tried mexican bat quano and nearly killed my whole crop. just be careful, if more leaf tips go necrotic, be prepared to flush, they look good though, nice internode spacing!
