G13 x Haze Hempy Grow under 250watt cfl

Think i'm down to 1 G13xhaze the largest looks like it has male pre flowers still on 20/4 light so will watch for now to make sure will add pics later so you all can see if it is it will get the chop don't want any males, if you are sure it's a male let me know please.

did u spill nutrients ontop of thos plants and left the light to dry it up cause the other 2 seem fine if so u gave it nutrient burn.if not then ur problem is..
Potassium - Too much sodium (Na) displaces K, causing a K deficiency. Sources of high salinity are: baking soda (sodium bicarbonate "pH-up"), too much manure, and the use of water-softening filters (which should not be used). If the problem is Na, flush the soil. K can get locked up from too much Ca or ammonium nitrogen, and possibly cold weather.hope this helps u out good luck

I have read that sand or hydroponic expanded clay medium works to kill fungus gnats -- not too thick, maybe 1/2 or 1 inch I think. Also read that putting a potato slice on topsoil draws the larvae out and then you toss that out.

Looks like a nice grow! Is that all CFL? Looks like an HPS in one of the pics... They are growing great under CFL's if so! What type of bulb you use?

Just taken these pics of my G13xHaze and i think this is a male as i think these are Male Preflowers, still under 20/4 lighting. If they are male please let me know so i can get rid off him earlier the better.

+rep for answers (if i can don't know if i'm allowed yet!)

My early grow was in hempy but had wrong nutes, which caused most of the damage to the plant she has recovered think occasionally i have over fert very hard to get it bang on at this size but they been on feed/water/water which is suiting them now, as they are very green and bushy with close nodes.

Thanks for the reply about the sand, i'm going to do that on all further grows just to be sure they stay away, prefer not to use chemical pesticides especially while flowering. I'll have to try the potato if i have any more in this grow looks as if i killed them off for now ( i hope )

Light wise i am using a CFL a 250watt enviroglow 8u bulb it's huge and quite delicate, i have 2 off them i have a blue one (daylight) 6400k and a red one (warm light) 2700k. At the moment i'm using the red one because i have 2 auto's flowering, plus i have added 2 other red 25 watt spiral bulbs to help the auto's as it's a bit tight on space in the grow room, it's only got a floor space of 2ftx2ft and a chunk of that is taken up by my rvk100 fan and the ducting to outside. I have the light inside a sun mate reflector which is designed for the large cfl's i have. I have these lights because they are a lot cooler than hps lights and i can get them 1inch away from the plants, i have a very small height in cupboard only 34inches floor to ceiling.



Thanks for the comments about my babies nice to get good comments.

It's a male i've removed the useless baby and cut him down. No sense keeping him i'm not going to be breeding as don't have room and lots of seeds and clones out there to try.

Hope my other one ends up being female, she smells lovely, and she's still vegging out on 20/4 lighting.

Been a while since i posted on this journal was finishing off the 2 autos i have had flowering, they've been finished for a couple of weeks now and all dried out only 1.75ounces but they were only 12inches tall.

The light has been changed back to the blue cfl.

I've also supercropped the baby and given her a topping to reduce her size slightly.





pics taken 09/11/2010 looks brutal but the plants have reacted well and carried on growing, Lights now back to 18/6.

she's growing well but was getting a little rootbound so she has been moved to a 2 gallon pot and she has had more LST carried out on her to keep her low and topped all shoots to even her canopy up, i've also taken out a few shoots to allow more airflow and allow more light to penetrate i'll be switching to 12/12 in a few days when she's recovered.

pics to follow later she in the dark at the moment.

plants are looking good now.everthing seems to be back on track.hopefully youll have no more problems.

She's been on 12/12 now a week and i've had to give her a little trim otherwise she would outgrow the cupboard b4 she was finished flowering. Won't be touching her again now apart from tying down a few shoots for light acces and trimming fan leaves for light penetration.

Anybody worried about carrying out supercropping don't be it's very easy looks rough but the plant recovers and grows bloody well she is really bushy and a lot bigger than i thought she would ever be, i'm always growing this way from now on especially with my lights and small space.

1st plant 1 grew got me 2.25ounce this one should be double if i'm lucky time will see, i'm only guessing tho so could be more or less but she is much bigger than my first has better/thicker branches to transfer the water and nutes to the flowers.

4 weeks in 12/12 and she looking very good look at the picks she has been until 2day still under vegging light broke my red cfl, replaced today so now back under correct light.

I think she's looking fucking lovely, i love the buds on her and so many off them.

she's on her flush now will be chopped in 2 days and then left to dry looks like she has lots on her and she don't half stink

She has been cut and left to dry for a week and now final trim carried out and got 3grams short of 3 and a half ounce, i'm getting better at every grow 1st was only 2.25ounce others were auto grows so can't really compare them to my other 2 proper grows. i'm hoping to get over 4 ounce on next grow i've already have 2 more seeds cracked and in rockwool staying with soil now as i know what i'm doing with that.
