o.k this is my latest grow from 10 bagseed a 400whps attic grow 3(L)x8(w)x6(H)

No extraction gonna be used unless i really need it but i doubt it.
just gonna have a couple of fans and a radiator for extra heat if needed.

Gonna probly be using bcuzz products or maybe others. gotta get sum perlite n vermiculite but i might get a allmix type medium
i have a grow bag at the moment but its not really good without perlite so iv gotta wait till next week to pot em up.
also need to get a hygrometer but luckly i have a ph tester/lumens/damp from last time.

Heres a few pics i took as i was getting ready, iv got a load more to put up asap.....

not a digital ballast no. just a standard thingy.

and as for intake i no i need it but iv never used it b4 in an attic grow as theres allways pleanty of air being blown in from going in n out, but i dunno how this grow will be ,if it seriously needs it il get a rvk or summet or a squirrel, at thew mo its just got a fan.

ok so heres a few pics from my old grows - mainly speedquuen , k2 and bagseed under 2x250whps with only flowering bulbs no extraction just a fan and a radiator for temp adjustments. in the end we got good results to say we allways chopped too early. we normally did 6-8 plants in an attic space of 6x8x6ft. we did a bagseed grow to start off and we got 100% fems and it was a gr8 yield even though we used miracle grow for ferts lol and didnt flush it at the end lol. but that was my 1st grow . after that we did better grows with better equipment. anyway heres sum pics enjoy.

Reason why i ask about ya ballast is i've been using a 400watt digi for 8months and its been great...silent running/low heat/low power consumption.But it seems to be gettin a bad name.radio signals..etc.etc

ok so iv done a quik transplant ,still just soil though, but the drainage is really good and its nice n airy so im getting away without perlite for the mo till i get sum.The seedlings are doing good now, allthough i have 2 runts (grim) but im gonna fim em n top em to hell n back l8r on as my testers.
Allso been thinking about going the extra mile n taking cuttings if i get a low fem rate. dunno yet though. i could fit about 6 decents sized plants in my grow, but i doubt il get 6 fems allthough ya never know with bagseed eh? (iv had 100% fems b4) anyway, the seeds came from a very seeded batch of skunk , the weed itself was sticky and smelly but was absolutly coverd in seeds wich left not alot of bud, but as far as i can tell it was a decent strain, just hoping no herms pollenated the sensi that gave me my seeds, im hoping it was a stray male.anyway iv got pics to put up but my computer wont read my camara at the mo so i canna put em up yet, but they will be up a.s.a.p.

quik update --- sorry no pics yet

o.k so everything is in full swing now, iv potted em up orderd vermiculite and perlite offa ebay 2ltrs for 1.50 each + p.p so a total of 7 quid. also gonna buy bcuzz a+b soon, also bought sum baby bio just incase and sum 7,7,7 tomato feed from focus (UK). oh and i finaly got a thermometer, and my temps are o.k (ish) they was over 30 so i sorted out my heater on a timer and raised the lights slightly to stabalize temps, (i hope) ,but as it is the plants are on the 3rd to 4th nodes exept for the 2 runts that are a node behind but they should soon perc up once they get transplanted.

o.k so now for the next steps,

1 transplant into bigger pots with perlite and vermiculite mix
2 possibly start the bcuzz as u use a+b all the way through (i think)
3 order pk 13-14 and bud boosters (bcuzz)
4 wait for 5-6th nodes and topp the 1s i wanna topp and / or fimm
5 wait for sex
6 defeate the males and pray i get a good ratio lol

if i get a low female count then im either gonna take cuttings and do summet with the mothers while i vegg the cuttings for another moon??? or i could just raise the sensi i have but i want more then 3 to do that.
i could also just get sum seeds now while im still early because i could have sat's for all i know so i could get sum more seeds right..

that brings me to my next question... how can i tell weither my babies are sativa or indica, the leaves at the mo are sorta fat but sorta thin also???

pics would help but i cant get this pc to to recognise my cam at the mo so i gotta find another pc.



so im in a bit of a dilamer as of wat to do. anybody got any ideas???

quik update day 12

well today i went to inspect my babies and they av started to pre flower..
upto yet iv got 3 males , the rest havnt shown sex yet so im hoping they might be females as the males show sex 1st. and these males are well into pre flowering now. iv taken few pics off my webcam of 1 of the males so u can see for yaselfs, allso hoping sum1 can tell me if its sativa or indica. il post up more pics asap, hopfully of sum females :hump:

the way i see it is, the males pre flower 1st, so the rest should be famales unless they just being slow males.. eitherway i know that i aint got hermi's so iv still got a chance of at least 1 female. if i do get 1 then im gonna take cuttings and do as many as i can in my grow space. if i dont get any females im gonna go buy sum seeds or a cutting offa m8. so basically iv gotta start over again in theroy. so iv still got 3 moon to go. anyway at least il get pure sensi in the end... catch yall l8r

p.s il post up pics of the groom as soon as i can sort out my camara.

good news or bad news 1st?

o.k bad news 1st. iv got 3 more males confirmed and 3 that are unconfermed but im pretty sure they are males.

iv took down the male from b4 and put 3 more to the side , thew other 3 un confirmed are still under the light as to preflower more so i can be 100% b4 killing em.

anyway now for the good news.

I got 1 Female . . .

its got preflowers with 2 pistles(fine hairs at the mo) shooting out from it. so at least iv got a female to play with hee hee.yeah so im thinking about wat im going to do now. basically i may as well call this my trail run for the grow room, and iv got good results so far. now i can go for it right. i could either mother my 1 female in a drobe or summet?im gonna go buy a pack of seeds and hopfully il get a good female rate from a peng strain . i would love to do blueberry,but im thinking hashberry and top44 allthough i could swing anyway where seeds are concerned but for now thats my plan ,start again with a cracking starin ,pleanty of it , and another light n room , n a blue spec bulb for vegg. basically i gotta go buy everything i need again. il be keeping this diary as it is and start another next week (hopfully) ,but for now il post up a few pics of a dead male i pulled today.sorry no pics of the female or growroom yet as i still cant get this camara to work on this pc,just using a webacam at mo. anyway catch y'all soon as.:peace:

well i couldnt believe it either but its true..
today i went to see if any more males have appeared an who and behold there was 3 more Females. i cant believe it, the preflowers looked like male but they have developed more and now on the very top i found female preflowers with the 2 hairs. at 1st i was undecided weather the hairs where rather very find leafs but a closer look determined female pistles. so i looked on another plant and the same there too, but only in the tops was the pre flower developed enough to proove female. the lower pre flowers just look like a tiny nodule starting to form. i cant show any pics as i have a prob with my cam but im pretty sure as to the sex. allso iv noticed that the males are all actually taller than the females. hence i have 4 fewmales that are smaller than the 3 males, theres also 1 more pla\nt with no preflowers just a tiny lump but my guess is female as its small like the others. anyway this bopens up this grow diary again i guess as i can now scrog or train them. iv also decided that they are sativa doms but with sum indica in em. the fan leafs are thin but not too thin to be p[ure sativas. so they should end up about 4 foot high maybe more, but iv topped em so im gonna train em. also gonna buy another pack ov seeds and veg them along side. anyway il post up pics asap. catch ya l8r... :mrgreen:
