i am more worried about cooling it and such, but ill look into that but its far down the line, i can see myself sticking with cfl's for another grow or 2, not just for money but because I got them and its easy and im in no rush

the other WW doesn't have hairs but its really looking to be female, all the signs are there and i have a feeling it will be female for sure

the reason yours looks different is because mine is 12/12 from seed, also im using a plant thats good for cfls so it helps

if you need a hand just pm me and i can give you all the info... ill get some shots of the tent but nothing from the outside just to keep things on the up and up

but for anyone who wants to know, i scammed the entire tent set up for 80 bucks which is an amazing deal... the fan is 100% silent because its not from a hydroponics store its from a company which specalizes in inline fans i spent like 110 on it(you can get them at some hydro places but they are 100 times more expensive)... the lights are shitty 23 watters and the fan was 6 bucks

Day 36 - 2 Females!

Here is a picture of the second female plant

Haha nice, glad to know when i start asking, they start showing.....probobly me being concieted , but congrats, its a good day!!!!

Now the wait begins.....again.

Hey you should try to get some more cfls around the sides of the plants since you got some fat leaves blocking some bud sites, but they look great man

Nice work dude. You have progressed well and It looks nice .

Sweeeeeettt!!!!

i got a 3 foot long T5 yesturday but ive yet to install it

Ohh nice, Going to use a "warm White" Bulb straight up for maximum budding? Make sure you do

Day 38 - Lazy Update

I had a big update ready for today, but i got stoned instead and took a break because I've been busy. Its nice to have this little grow room, much less to worry about and its nicer to deal with everything. I suggest them to anyone who is thinking of making a set up perminant.

Ill get some pictures tomorrow.

I got a new T5, 3 foot tall light... which was stupid because i have no idea how im going to use it lol, just saw it for 30 bucks and picked it up, its make specifically for growing

got some ONA liquid and put it outside my ouput... it smells like that shit all over the house but i dont mind it, hoping it will be enough to hold off the smell for as long as i can

also since i got some time i wanted to say putting a journal together is a lot of work and if it wasnt for the fact that im almost at 10,000 views I dont think i'd still be doing it... its convinced me to make the rest of my bigger grows into journals down the road... I wanted to give a shout out to some of the people that are cool guys for sticking with it:

coolman1a
MetalSmelter
uberpea
pitbill
SkunkoneSRH
koncyse

later

Thanks for the shout out man, you really do have a great grow going and i know it takes work to put the journal up along with all the updates and pics but we all appreciate it and hope you get some good bud and we all get a little experience from this

Yea agree man, thanks alot for the shout out as well, and thanks for the input you've given me on mine grow , I've gotten myself into a scheduel of photoing around the same time every day just takes about a week of doing it daily to get into a good system. I need to be better at documention though and not pictures lol.

What does that ONA gel smell like, i thought it had no odor. Walking through walmart today i saw the plug in socket type air purifiers for smokers/etc how well do they work, it might be some time before i can get some of that Gel, btw how much was it as well?

i got 4 litres for 50 bucks... i can make like 12 blocks with it which is amazing

usually the blocks are 10 bucks, but i suggest making them with the liquid and some plastic and make it yourself

there are 2 smells to ONA, one is called polar crystal which i got and the other is umm fabric i think... the polar crystal doesn't smell bad, but a bit industrial for my liking but its worth it in the end cause it smells like an air fresher

Well i'm going to find a hydro store and get some over the next few weekends, i feel like i'll need some if my cabinet isint as sealed as i wanted, how long with a litre last? which i imaging is a good $13-14 per L.

I got some spray foam today to try to close some areas inside..... flame retardant at that.

a litre is about 25 i think, with 1 cup you can go 15-20 days so that will do you a while... so a litre will do you 2 - 4 months

also i've heard not to put it in the grow room cause it will falvour the pot, thats what the guy at the store said, so i dunno but im going to ask around till i put it in there... ill post what i end up doing

I had a fear of that, the odor absorbing gel i have (found it at lowes lol), does alright but i have it sitting in the box at the bottom, and though it might "flavor" the herb as well as a box of dryer sheets, pull the one out on top and next one smells for a few days, mabey once a week.

I dunno if the dryer sheets would do that, somewhat thinking the gel may, but I'd rather have the flavor somewhat of citrus than my apt reaking of plant smell or flowering pot, but I did get a whiff today when opening 20mins before her bedtime that i wasn't expecting yet, but VERY faint, and sorta skunky i'd say??.
