First ever wardrobe grow.

I too am strarting to believe that the problem is down with genetics, as I tried everything with no result. I'm curious as to what I'll get from this plant, so we'll have to see. I flipped her over yesterday so fingers crossed. Damn, I always thought that the warnings about good seeds were just over exaggerated. Like you said Tim, we live and we learn.

who did you get your seeds from?

A company called BioHazard seeds. They seem legitimate, so I guess I just got "one of those seeds". Next time I'll buy more.

So I noticed that the shoots below the net are starting to come closer and closer. I also had to do a bit of tucking here and there, but damn it is nice to finally see something going on. I love the period after flipping to 12 12, always something to do.

When it comes to cannabis I love being busy hehe. I could weave and tuck all day! Well, maybe not, but it's better then sitting there wondering why your plant hasn't grown in five days.

I don't know how much of a stretch to expect, that PC plant was easy peasy to maintain.

She's sleeping now, don't want to disturb her. Tomorrow I'll send the pictures over.

All right time for the pictures. The first two (I hope they upload in order) show the main shoot directed to the back of the cab. I don't know how I could of not thought of it, but I started to run out of space. I must of anticipated that I would be able to somehow re-direct the shoots from the main stem around the edges. Anyway, so considering that I'm still early in the stretch I decided to take the whole screen off and turn the plant around. Also did a bit of vacuuming to keep things nice and neat. So as of now the majority of the shoots are facing towards the door, so they have plenty of room to space out in the near future.

When I took her out I noticed that she has become quite bushy lady, doesn't look like it when she's crammed in the grow box. Anyway I spray her two times a day with water, I'm sure that helps in some way to compensate with the low humidity, lots of growers doing it. And if anyone is wondering, no a 250 Watt hps won't burn the leaves.
Apart from that, everything is looking great, the lower shoots are getting closer to the screen day by day and I'm grateful for that. I honestly thought she wouldn't budge during flowering, but I have been pleasently surprised. Let's hope it continues.

Oh, and the two other plants are herbs, cilantro and basil. I cook a lot of Asian food, so the home grown cilantro should come in handy (it's a shame weed doesn't grow as fast) and as for the basil, I'm trying to revive her, so what better place to do so?

Peace.

how close was your light during this grow?,,, a 250 watter right?

Yep yep, it's was about 8inches from the canopy level, but I backed it up a little bit now to around 11.

How is your stretching coming along?

Dude, my plants are in BEAST MODE,, its scary!! want me to grab a pic

Hell yeah, show me the goodies.

here you go bud,, day 3 of flower, the stretch is ON big time, I fully expect them to grow another 12 to 15 inches, its going to be a real tree fest lol

You weren't joking about that stretching. They're starting to creep up the corners of the wardrobe, soon you're going to have a miniature rainforest in there. How long do your strains normally flower?

So yeah, nothing much to tell. The stretch is still on, albeit at a steady pace. I tuck here and there from time to time, so that's something to do. I'll start adding bloom nutes in a few days, as of now I still use Bio Grow 4ml in 2l of water.

There are a lot of shoots spreading against the netting, so I hope that there is a nice base for flower production. I'll also start to defoilate any lower leaves/shoots over the course of a few weeks. Don't want to do everything all at once.

Peace guys.
