Hey all,
got some good genetics here from marijuana-seeds.nl
also got 400w MH/HPS light (autocool)

Got 4 Bubblegum-Fems (not sure if its the TH version or Serious version)
Got 4 Afghan (not feminized)
Random thought: F*ck hydro, switched to soil (first time soil grow):finger:
also gave up on Iguana Juice organic Grow (bottle was bloated so i think it was old.):wall:

Using:
Mostly-
Sensi Grow part A+B

Lightly-
Trichoderma Bacteria
Fox Farms b. bloom (organic)
Micro
Roots Organic Extreme Serene

Into week 3 and the ladies are all under 5" tall. Been wondering if they may be root-bound or if i just have way too high of hopes too soon. Otherwise they look beautiful i think. Any comments would greatly be appreciated.

If anyone wants to answer these for me i'd love answers.

If started on Feb 1st, is transplanting on the 28th and starting 12/12 on the 5th not enought time? My minimum nodes right now is 5 and my biggest lady is on her 7th nodes. not alternating yet but i dont expect that until d-day (5th).

I have bud blood from AN, do i use that alone when i start 12/12 or with my other nutrients?

400w light (auto-cooled) is it too close at 12" because the plants have absolutely no stretch. Tightest nodes i have ever seen
:leaf:

I forgot to add that i used emergency blankets (mylar) for my grow room and it makes a pretty BIG difference in terms of reflecting the light and covering the plants from a lot of angles. Even with one wall covered so that the mylar doesnt shine through, you can see the light on the plants dim. I recommend this for everyone (only $3 a blanket) its well worth it!

Comments are welcome! Please let me know what you think of the ladies.

Its always 80 in there. There is a vent fan and an intake fan above (not pictured) and a heater in there so it stay constant between 75 and 82. Humidity not sure.

Hey all,
The GOOD:

Today is officially day 28 of my girls life cycle, are were transplanted to 3gallon buckets. All of them loved and thanked me for it, and all of them got real perky over the past 2 days demanding to grow and flourish in their new environment as it seems

The NOT SO GOOD:

All that is except for 1 afghan, which in the mornings is quite droopy and lifts slightly over the course of the light period.
It also is showing discolortion on all but the newest 3 top nodes. I have attached a picture to show you the leaves on it. Please please let me know what the problem is.

Hey all,
Here they are at week 4 of flower. there are 6 in pics but we are down to 4 to maximize light for them, they got way too crowded with 6.

Please comment.
Are they doing well?
Anything to do or adjust?
any guesses on potential yield?

Using SensiBlooom A +B
Used Bud Blood = Loved it!:hump:
Fully completed exhaust from autocool light.

thanks.
quick question. do you consider the "1st day or start of flowering" does that mean from the day you switch to 12/12 or does that mean from the day you see fully developed pre-flowers?

Nice you got pics or post of em? I am really really happy with the BG's i have. The craziest stuff ive ever seen because every fan leaf when cut has a different smell. One will be sweet just like a fruity bubblegum, and the other will be skunky, musky, and fruity, third will be really sweet and almost candylike.. I have a feeling its gonna be wicked. But the afghan is already starting to orange and mature and its too soon for it, as the buds are small and not well developed, while the BG is still all white with big fat buds in comparison.

BG = A+
Afghan = C-
