Here we go one more ginn!

Hello all, welcome to my 2nd grow ). 1st = males, 1.5 = a plant that i threw away and survived some how and turned out to be a female woohoo (about 10g or 12g worth).

Everyone i germed popped and i planted.
Germed 9 seeds 9 popped kept 5 and gave 4 to my borther. (We're having an indoor vs outdoor potency war). He won last year. Man! his smoke! man!

Now here we have this grow:

Seeds: Random bagseed

Germ method: A cup filled about 1/3 ways up with water, threw seeds in, hid under bed 3-5 days later Pop! some even with tap root out.

Lights:
7 x 26w 6500k (veg)
2 x 42w 2700k, 2 x 23w 2700k, and 4ft t8 hood with 3000k bulbs (flower)

Soil: Fox Farm Ocean Forest Soil

Nutes: Vigoro 10-10-10 (veg/flower) and peters super bloom 10-50-10 (late veg to mid flower)

Setup:
2ft L x 2ft W x 4ft H veg chamber
5ft L x 4ft W x 5ft H flower chamber (still to be built)

Here are the pics, 18/6 light sched., about 3 weeks old. They would be taller but they were super stretchy when sprouts so i covered them all the way up to the bottom leaves. theyre shortbushy lil ladies i hope i hope ;o).

Happy growins!

I like your octo-light fixture..

good luck!.. I will check back in a bit, you better have something new posted..

Cheers.

thnx all,
UPDATE:
nothings going on. )
took some pics today of the "The Drag Queens" as i like to call them since i unsure about there sex yet.

5 plants total : 2 bushy ones. a stretchy one, a droopy one (topped), and a bushy strecthy one (topped).

a few pics of my beans 1st one is my selection from random bags over the year. The second is of the 20 seeds found in 2 oz's of sour diesel *crossn fingers for fem* cause i just read up on how to pollenate!.
the last four pics are from my 1.5 grow that turned out pretty sweet.

ps forgot to add a couple things, umm,

found my MG nutes 24-8-16 (mid veg - late veg) and the vigoro was used from sprout till about 2weeks or so.

UPDATE:
ok everyone heres an update.... all 5 plants my fault the Drag Queens are doing well. Droppy is still droppy (meaning outer fans are droopn). Stretchy is still stretchn makin me think that this drag queen is a male. Bushy Girl 1 and 2 have shot up about 2-3 inches since last photo post. As for stretchy bushy, this lil plant has gots to be female, it stinks so good! So as of right now stretchy bushy is now known as Sam till im sure of sex. Side branches on all of them are to small to think about cloning yet.
Also the two plants i topped droopy and stretchy theyre topps have stretched way up! now theres two topps on each one!

ummm here some pics
nutes for the next 2 weeks or 3 out of 5 waterins will be MG 24-8-16 for the high N for veg.

UPDATE:
About 3-4 weeks into this grow. Doing beautiful!!! The Drag Queens are lookn, smelln, and growin fabolous. After a fresh watering on sunday here are some photo results. one of each plant, some side shots, the topped ladies, top shots, group shots... etc...

keep checkn in on me, 18/6 cycle, lst 3 out of 5 today, nutes (MG veg 24-8-16), 2 gallon pots. Lights: 7 x 26w 6500k daylight.

photo time cheese!

UPDATE:

A bunch of bushy growth. all side branches on every plant have stretched out about 3-4 inches on each one. I took some clones today 7 in total. in my makeshift cloner lights on 24 hours 2 (23w 5500k cfls)
Still smells real weedy.
Here a few pics:

UPDATE:
Ok everyone here it is another update.

You have some really pretty plants man. A+.

Thanks E!
Ok heres a super update sorta:

All 5 plants are doing well, had to cut some back growth off cause it wasnt gtn any light thats on all of them. Umm lights have been cut back to 16/8 for last week and start 14/10 tmr. tryn to show some sex som i can move them on to the flower room (build in progress) . Umm still run 7x 26w 6500k lights gna change them tmr. probably something like 3 x 42w 2700k, 2x 23w 2700k , 2 x 26w 6500k that should be enough light to turn show some signs of sex. nutes peters big blossom 10-50-10 full tbsp strength. thats about it now for the pics:

Fuck me man - those are perty! It looks as if you've mastered CFL! And on top of this you are using inexpensive store-bought nutes. All I can say is WOW! Wish I could be so efficient!

where do you get the socket adapters?
All I can find are those y adapters which are 90 degree and not very useful.

Try home Depot, Wally world, Ace etc.

Or you could just say forget the Y adapter and make your own setup. You don't need adapters for CFLS.

How to use CFL bulbs without a light socket.

ok, I see: he is using PLUG-IN socket adapters.

Is there any reason not using higher wattage cfl's such as the 42 watt?

Why not use the same setup for flowering just substitute 2600k bulbs?
