I never heard of orange colored mold?
Sure its not just something from the pot itself?
Anyway, yeah sounding good on your end brother,
you sure went through some crap to get to here.
LST and topping will keep them short but Sativa at 2' will be something to see.
I will probably flower at right where you are now, but then again I did not have the problems you did so far.
It will reduce the yield if you go to 12/12 now, but I cant see an alternative for ya.
Next Grow look at LR2 or another auto-flower strain.
You can get a good yield off of those at 2' and seed to harvest is real short time.
Just be sure to have them sent to a PO box or a friends house.

Yeah i think the mold has originated from something other than the soil etc. I'll be clearing it all up later so i may get a more definitive answer then.
Well i think as soon as i get my new bulb im going to switch to 12/12 the bulbs theyre under now are pretty poor so atleast they wont be growing inches over night until then. Yeah since i ordered these seeds LR2 seems to be what ive set my heart on for the next grow. It will be interesting how i manage size with these in the later weeks of their flowering period.

Mary really seems to have picked up now though she does carry many battle scars. I think she'l be the best in flowering time as she seems to be staying shorter and bushier than Jane. I can see Jane going through the roof...

Day 41:

Seems to be a growing trend to video rather than photograph so here it goes lol.

Sorry if its shoddy quality but you'l get the jist of how the girls are doing. As i mentioned before Mary seems to be pulling through really well although im still not sure all her nutes are correct as there is one small case of browning as youl see in the vid.

Other than that im thinking of swapping from 24 on, to 18 on 6 off. Will this turn them hermie??



Thanks for stopping by!

haha love the video mate! jane is looking weak at the bottom, because that 1 cfl can't reach down that far to give proper lighting. Maybe if you can get maybe 1 or 2 cfl's, hook them up with a clamp light around the pot or something. Mary is making a killer come back man great job!!!

Alto: alright mate i'll treat you tomorrow maybe later if your lucky :P your not missing out on much though must be honest, mainly just a HPS which isnt in use lol.

Toolage: yeah that was my thoughts exactly, must be due to light so as im on a hunt for lamps now until i can get down shops tomorrow! Hopefully it'l then kick start Jane off!

Yeah im so proud of Mary lol Cheers! :)

I dont know but I think you could use that hps dude, all you need do is air cool it. Does it have the flanges for duct on it?
Anyway, nice tent. You will be fine in that with a little LST if they decide to go amazon on you.
I will make a vid soon and post it to my journal.
Just have to do it when there are no nosy people around lol.
Thanks for the peep :mrgreen:
and for the disclaimer, all you had to do is make a couple little fake plants and your gold :) no CGI necessary.

Yeah i know i really want to run the HPS. but it gets SO hot in there its unbelievable. I think the material the tent is made out of doesnt help at all. I mean i had exhaust and intake fans as well as a 9inch desk fan pointing right at the lamp and nothing. If possible i may have the HPS on a timer for half an hour every hour or so when im using my CFL, just to boost. But i dont know how possible that will be until i get my other light.

Cheers for checking the grow out mate!

Hey thanks for the peek into your grow man.
Really nice job on the video.
I'm sure you'll figure out some way to use your light, it'd be a shame not to.:peace:

Cheers for stopping by again! Yeah im really gutted about not being able to use it in some way.. Im sure i'll find some use for it even if it means opening the front of my grow op and having the lamp aim in when im around. (which could be hours at a time. every little helps i guess.

Im officially ordering my new bulb tomorrow so should have it beginning of next week.

Plant hormones are sensitive to changes in the light they receive
(this is why we can force flowering when we chose)
I don't know how much good random shots of stronger light will do.
Best to figure out a way somehow so you can have it timed with the 12/12
and keep things constant.
Just my take on things, it may help? not really sure, but it would seem
from all I have read that regularity is where its at with lights.

Maybe next grow you can modify that tent to get the light above it
and create a hole for it to shine thru? That way all the bad ebil heat
will be outside the op and also give you a lot more headroom for the girls.
I'm pulling for you GP! looking good so far considering all they went through.
:peace:
