hey! thanks for the reply, we are using miracle grow soil and yes ever 3-6 days we give it jacks classic 20-20-20, and yes i topped the taller plant because it stretched so much i dont think it would have budded much but now it looks great! and i've never FIM'd of LST'd anything before and since this plant was started out wrong i figure i might as well give it a shot! lol i haven't really tried it with the Sour Diesel plant though just the mysteryhalo!
nice plants you got there! What soil are you using and are you applying any nutes? I did the same mistake when using the CFL and my plants stretched quite a lot, however I hope that leaves more space for bigger buds
A couple of days ago I placed the reflective hood and cfl very close to my plants and they seem to be able to stand the little heat the cfl is producing.
I can see you are using LST, FIM and topping methods, how come? Or am i mistaking?
pace!

anyone know why the mysterys stem is turning purple? very dark purple on the smaller stems and a lighter purple is appearing on the main stem, the strain is unknown which could be why, but any other idea's?
p.s. the mystery is a seed i've been saving with many other mysteries, i have them in a box and just grabbed one one day and planted it hah

Mh now I am tempted to do some LST and top couple of my plants 
, but since I dont know which ones are females, I think I wait for the first generation of clones...Do you water them every day or only when applyng the nutes?
keep up the good grow!

Hey C&S Plants are finally starting to turn around. Looks good, still a little bit of stretch but seem to be loving those nutes. Have you thought of adding a fan, like a little 6" fan to improve Stability of the plant. If you dont start Thickening up those stems i feel like it wont be able to hold up Buds. I might be wrong, but the moment i added a fan into my rooms They really started up. It Also helps Circ O2 and helps keep bugs like Spider mites or other Harmful bugs off the leaves. 
If ya get a chance, Stop by my first Grow, Any advice would be a great help. looking great tho, keep Smokin dudes!
Subd!

i actually just use those bulbs and i crack the blinds to let the sun hit them during the day, and when its warm i crack the window and let a nice breeze flow through their leaves, the sour d is doing amazing, the other is doing better than i thought it would so thats cool i guess hah, started another sour d, looks like purp sour d to me! we'll have pics up soon! growing it in a pepsi bottle! lol

Ok I've been through your whole journal, looked at your pictures. You are a long way in already and your plants are quite small. My prediction is that you will not get anything off of these plants when you switch to flowering. They are just too small, too stressed, you're feeding them miracle grow, they don't have enough light, etc etc. This seems more like a hobby than an actual grow. Like the guy who grows from bagseed in his closet under a 25w light and hopes for high yields.
I guess I would ask what are you trying to accomplish? If you are just growing to grow, and do not expect to yield anything. I think you are doing a decent job.

I think I can answer that question for him. He's doing the same thing a lot of us (including me) did when we started. Our interested for outweighed our budget and knowledge,. so we hit sites (like this one) and ask for advice. We ask if our setup is alright. And so on. And YES, your right, those most likely won't yield much. BUT, if he keeps up the hard work and keeps putting money into it little by little, he will have SOMETHING when he's done.
My first grow was a disaster, I let her veg for something like 8 months, under (yes i'm gonna say it....) an 80W Soft White Incandescent, a small (but strong) UV light,. and eventually, later in that same grow, 3 26WCFL's that were the complete wrong spectrum for flowering. BUT, I DID END UP WITH ABOUT A HALF OZ OF SMOKABLE HERB!!!
But the herb wasn't what was important, the important thing, is that without that plant growing, budding and flowering to keep my focused, I would have NEVER learned anything about growing, about lights, nutes, cycles, ppm's, and the RIGHT WAY to do it.
When this guy is done with flower (provided he makes it that far, but from what I can see of this thread, he CERTAINLY has the drive to) what he will have (besides a couple of buds that he can say HE grew with his own 2 hands, is the experience of growing a plant from start to finish and learning ALOT along the way.
I know there are MANY out there who believe you should learn it all before you even start, so you can do it right the first time. But personally, I learn from experience, I learn by doing, no just by watching or listening or reading, but actually getting my hands LITERALLY DIRTY!!!!
And while the endless stream of questions can make the n00bs a little hard to deal with sometimes, I encourage everyone to start a plant, even if you have no idea what your doing...
Because it give incentive to learn, and improve your ability to grow a plant and truly make it your own...
I suppose this is kind of a sore spot for me, since when I did my first disastrous grow, I was told (by people on THIS SITE) that my grow setup was a pathetic joke, and that they were gonna print out a picture of it, and post it on THEIR grow room wall as an 'Epic Fail'.
And while it WAS ridiculous, it still sucks to have people tell you that your awful at something your really trying at.
People argue that it's not worth the energy bills, water cost, nute cost, and so on to raise something your getting no weight from, but I still think the most valuable thing you get from your first grow isn't herb...it's experience.
Keep it up Cory&Sam, your shitty grow may not yield much, but the more you learn and the more you spend, the better it will get, and if you put even 100 bucks into your current grow, you can save it and help to make it yield something decent.
GOOD LUCK, AND KEEP IT UP!!!!
PS; Sorry for getting a little long winded...Guess it just kinda reminds me of my first grow. ::wipes tear from eye::
Ahhh, the old days, when it was COOL just to have a plant in your closet

actually, we have never grown inside before, thats why it says first indoor grow, but we are learning from our mistakes and our sour D is doing amazing, the other plant i dont expect much out of, and we have another sour D just sprouted! we're going to try to make this one out to be a beauty! you got any tips for the first 2-3 weeks of growth? i was feeding them too early and didnt have the lights close enough to the plants last time

, but it ended up being a male 
we kept the seeds though! and we also grew 2 skunk plants and a bag seed, which died 2 months in due to bugs, thanks for the support though! hope you keep in touch
