Day 09
Group shot and individual pics looks like they doubled in size since yesterday... never realized how fast things can grow
Oh and i changed my mind again... its in 24/7 for another week or 2


SHEA. THIS ONE IS GROWING THE FASTEST

BABY

LUCY

MISTY

TARA
This one has only 1 new leaf coming in from the middle... normal???

Do they look healthy?

and my questions again are
will the 2 bulbs work ok together?
is it ok for the plants?
and can I raise this many plants under the 2 different bulbs I have until I can tell the sex?

Hey buddy....that set up is looking much better. Questions on your ventilation. How are they getting fresh CO2? Is this in an enclosed room? Does this room have a window to outside? Remember plants breathe in CO2 and breath out Oxygen...opposite to us. Just like we do they need fresh air. If not get some of those small CO2 replacements for like pellot guns or something and Feed them that. Also is the air holes in that box only running front to back or all 4 sides? try to make to levels of air holes as this will better distribute airflow to the plants and make for overall better ventilation. Keep us updated! Good luck!:mrgreen::joint::peace:


Day 7

got a splitter and another 42w. any ideas on how i can set up the circulation for the best air flow? I have 5 fans total. 3 of which are put together... It just seems like it will get hot hot. and no one is home for 8-9 hours a day.... help?

Oh and I forgot to mention, in reply to the lights being on and off. Dude if there in veg they NEED at least 18-22 hours of light in a day man. I HIGHLY suggest just leaving them all in 24/7 Its cheaper than turning those lights on and off everyday is ij just great for the plants. Ir enclosurement looks ok it looks safe to me mann :-)

At that young ate it very well might. Hard to tell. Depends if the other leafs on it are large enough to suck in the amount of light the plants need to live. Get some CO2 canisters from a sporting goods store. When I didnt have enough CO2 getting to my babys, I used a CO2 replacements and a Tire pressure meter, Yanked the measurement rod from the middle and it sprayed the CO2 directly on to the plants tops. Worked great until I moved them into a room where I could open the windows. And remember it gets too cold just adjust to heat to blast warm air on em so they dont die.

cell phone.. cam dead.

well one of them has started to get yellow upper leaves... :(
I made a temp co2 source... its vinegar dripping on baking soda...
and at the nodes it looks like there are pistols.. i made a thread
on it but i was told that it was part of the leaves, but the are at
the part where the branches come off the stem... Oh and I killed off
the one that had the leaves eaten by the cat... was too much hassle.




the one with yellow... HELP!

Day 14 guys, how do the girls look?

the nodes on all the plants are about a quarter inch or less apart... is that good?


My main bitch is shea i think she is gonna be really bushy:




Baby is growing pint size, she'd be good for a micro she is really bushy as well specially for how small she is:

JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA HOW SMALL SHE IS(she is at the same stage as shea)




Misty bad health but is looking a little better:



and here is tara, the one that stretched early and now seems like only half of the plant is growing normally:




The water im using is bottled water from my water fountain, i par for 5 gallon tanks every week...
no nutes, and dont plan on them anyway.

DAY 16
put them on 12/12 yesterday, they have 2 sets of 7 leafed fans. So since they grow 30% or so during flowering i think they will be where i want them. and if they die so be it i half a long life ahead of me hopefully. and if they live yay. i will post pics in a few days.

OH and i killed tara, the tardness of the plant is going to cost it more energy trying to get the struggling leaves in so im down to 3 now. baby misty and shea
