(I) Still have not flowered yet...I should have specified. Oopsy:oops:

I intend on pruning and fiming just before flowering (A week or so) to diffuse hormones to the sides so the underlings can catch up...;-)

Again, how tall does your indicas measure at this stage?

Sorry, I grow good weed:clap:

12", but the Le fruit Defendu is much thicker, obviously.

It was listed as a day smoke, but looking at the growth...:sad:
I was curious; I have some indicas that are 10 inches and I am thinking about switching to 12/12. Are you going to let Urs go on up to 16 inches?

They look really healthy.

WSF:peace:

I'm going to wait another couple weeks for the new branches to come up top, probably fimming today...I want a short, long plant top!;-)

Did some pruning because the foliage was sitting on the soil...Big no no.

Took it up an inch or two.

They were pissed at first, but then they saw it my way...

PH 6.2
TEMP 68.9 F
Humidity 41%

With spring coming the humidity is dropping...Hmmm.:wall:

1 of the best t5 grows i have seen so far +rep. Was going to start using t5 for mothers/clone/veg and then hps for flowering. This just convinced me that t5 will be perfect for veg, cant wait to see how flowering goes. Great grow keep up the good work...

When humidity is low, I distribute a couple/few cups of water amongst the plants. Helps a lot. Even T5s emit enough heat to allow some of that water to evaporate. :mrgreen:

They're sure lookin purdy! :weed: :hump:

infamous hawaii: Don't know how well this photo shows what you'd need to see, but this is from the first plant I harvested, about two weeks or so before the fact. To date I've only grown with T5 lights. (My son's friend told him he's going to give me his HPS lights that he didn't even use, but I don't hold my breath till I see things like that happening. :lol:)

Next time try a towel hung over a bucket with a small trickle of water. (Spaghetti line with a small water pump) For 20-30 bucks you can jump the Humidity like 15-20%:shock:

I can't partition my closet, so I have to wait for money for a 250W CFL for another closet.:cry: This means flowering one plant at a time:cry:

OK! Got a partition going in this weekend so flowering should commence next week. Waited a little longer than planned but older plants never hurt!:hump:

They're huge!

I love the growth pattern of these strains.
The real proof will come in the next 60-75 days...

Thank you everyone who visits:mrgreen:

Still waiting to finish the partition. I have the wood and paint and hardware, so real soon, I promise. They are a little bigger than I would have liked, but oh well.

Temp 72.0 F
PH 6.3

They smell fantastic. I love walking through the front door. Even the kids take a deep breath walking in after school! :p

Almost done with the upgrades to the closet. Added a divider. (1/2" plywood painted with Bear Premium Plus sealer and ultra white top coats, 2 each.

Need intake fan. (Total closet is 256 CF so even a 90 cfm will do for half!)

Other than that, I'm ready!

Sorry it's taking so long folks, but I want to do it right the first time. Looking back, I should have thought of these things before I started this grow, but eh...

They are H-U-G-E!!!

PH 6.3
Temp 73.0 F
Humidity 58%
