first go at this.(icansavethatmuchbygrowingmyown?ok.)
with the title and first line, you've probably assumed this won't be all that informative.
you're right.

i had a few plants going. two were started a month or so before the third. one of those two turned out hermi, the other is half(a third maybe)the size of the third, which is roughly 32''tall.
i'm almost confused.
so..two plants made it into flower.
i'm going to disregard how i've treated the smaller of the two plants.
(any info pertains to the one lady i keep eyeing)

bagseed
germinated papertowel style
1'rockwool later inserted into 4'
3gal pot
2/3 ff happyfrog & 1/3 mg perlite - perhaps even a 60%-40& setup
6-6.5 ph (tap water)
peter's jc nutrients (all purpose 20-20-20/blossom booster 10-30-20)

2'x4' closet
13 cfl's(2/3ish specific light range depending on cycle)..(flower-9 2700k, 4 5000k)
2 half ass can fans. 50cfm each.
4 passive intakes, plus under closet door(while beaing light sealed)
veg was no problem. with the strick light schedale in flowering however, closing the door with the lights on gets temps to 86-88, unfortunately. so i keep the door open as much as possible, lowering temps to 79-81. lights off temp were around 70.

i threw two pictures in of the smaller yet older plant at the end.
though i'm only half way there, or so, i'm still reading up on harvesting :?
will update with the days or whatnot.

[QUOTE="SICC";4173282]Almost all amber, how long have they been flowering?[/QUOTE]

they've been under 12/12 for 50 days. but i just realized that number doesn't mean much. flower time is counted from when the first pistils show??
in that case the bigger plant and the plant i got those trich pics from has about 43 days of flower. the small plant didn't show till like 2weeks, making it only about 36 day in flower.
just looking at the plants i'd say the pistils are still about 65% white /:

Just depends, i start my days for flowering once the pistols show, but others just count the first day of 12/12.

seems the better way to go. cause my plants were under 12/12 for a week before any pistils showed. but first grow, so i'll just count everyday, ha.
while my knowledge of MJ is tenfold since signing up to RIU. i'm still spaced out(alittle) with some things. like when to start to flushing, seems like something that could be started here soon.

some leaves turn yellow during flowering because the buds are taking nutrients from the leaves.

i'm going to start flushing one of the two plants tonight. think it's about time.
does this 'guessing game' get easier with the grows.
not sure what i'm looking for, figured pistils are 60brown/40white, trichomes are about the same 60%amber

the smaller plant was first flushed 9days ago, with the bigger plant not far behind(first flushed 6days ago)
leaves are yellowing like nobody's business.
never really concerned myself with ph'ing the runoff.(is that something important?), but while flushing i checked it out,,, small plant runoff is about the same level its put in at, while the bigger plants runoff seems like 5ph :?

their gettin' close.
flashed fucked the pics..

both plants got the same thing going on.
it's crazy seeded, while being dense, sticky and stinky. some snake oil shit.
i need to figure out what, cause a can't end up with this bologna no more.

i'm hoping it was genetics, though i thought i grabbed this seed from the bomb(nonetheless with seeds)
i got some ak48 seeds, which im not to thrilled on but they gotta be better than bagseed. thier *feminized so hopefully thats no more of a problem.
regardless the size of the bud, all i can do is,,scrape or pull off the outside of the bud

thought i had any light leaks under control. the temps did sky rocket in the last hour the lights were on when the closet door was shut.
it would go from 82-84 to 90-91 with about thirty minutes. hopefully thats the reason they went hermi.
