  1. hi guys, first journal and second indoor grow, grown many a year outdoors but neighbors make it hard, ive started 2 big bud bag seed plants 30 days ago, i had to leave them for 2 weeks without water when i went over seas, they actually did quite well while i was away. of course they were hanging for a drink but still very healthy(you can see some damage in the photos) started them under a t5 fluro aqua, then after they grew one real leaf under a 100w CFL @ 6400K, in a couple of weeks they will be moved into my larger grow tent and be hit with a 600w HPS running a digital ballast with a cooltube ofcourse, this grow is just in good potting mix, ive used it plenty of times outdoors and does just as good of a job as any expensive shit, anyway comments and criticism welcome, it strikes me that these plants are pretty big for under 30 days(and going without water for 2 weeks) or i it just me? thanks guys

ok so i woke up this morning and got out of bed, did this and that, went back to my bedroom to get a shirt and bang! the smell has gotten so much worse now you can smell it from the hallway, luckily i dont live with parents or anything to hide it from, but i still hide it from my mates, just quite surpried with the strength of smell scince theyre only around 30 days old... maybe becuse i went away for 2 weeks, no water, then they got hit again???... anyone?:?:

A word of caution on over training.....it hermied my plant all to hell when over handled, pulled and prodded etc. Next round I am still going to use LST with an emphasis on the S. I stressed her a bit I think by holding her down too much to get an even canopy. But.....the smoke is scary good so far. I also think that maybe doing less fumbling during 12/12 and vegging longer while training may be the answer. I doubt you could hermi a plant before sex is determined.

yeah the main thing is to be gentle with them when u do it, my rule is dont even touch the plant unless i absolutely have to, the less interference the less problems you have....

ok heres the problem, its yellowing on some of the new growth down the bottom, it really doesnt look like a nute problem to me, its not happing to the new growth on the main stem, all the fan leaves are fine with the exception of some loking like they were pinched, but that was because they were in a smal grow space, sorry about the photos they are with my phone....any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks

ok, ive had some trouble, but i think i was right, it wasnt nute/watering/bugs.... it was bad room syndrome(BRS) not good, the plants have spent the arvo outside... as soon as they were out of the tent for an hour or 2 i could tell they looked healthier(and they were sitting in the corner of my shed) so ive let them air out while i build a quick grow space in the shed, lol its gunna be dodgey.... i have no materials... so wish me luck!!! atleast this will be surrounded by 100% mylar.... no god damn PVC plastic like in $300 tent i bought.... anyway ill try to get some pics up,


after many long discussions with the supplier of the tent(im talking 10 months) i litterally just then made a deal with her and she is going to send me a mylar skin for my tent

HOO-RAY

well after all the shit, the plants are back to being healthy as, went away for a bit over a week and i havent been able to fuck with my grow space which caused some heat issue with my plants putting out that last bit of stretch before throwing some pistils out, so they got a bit of burn, and some leaf bleach from just being way to close to the light.... anyway everything is good now, i got 2 out of 2 females from using lafemme, it worked! yay, anyway ill get some recent pics up 2morrow but heres some from the other day

sorry the photos are shit, phone pics

also using monsta bud from this point (every second watering)
