Yeah that's true but this shit is really easy imo. I guess it would'nt hurt to finish them incase i get at least 1 female, I wish i had room for a veg and flower room so i could do both...

Well i just gave em some food...

Both plants side by side





Plant 2 - August 29th


Plant 1 - Aug 29th



Well since raising the lights im not sure if it really did help with the vertical lift but personally i think it did. What do you guy's think? :joint:

Guys do you think these 10" planters are big enough? They looked huge when i bought them but now every day i look at them they look smaller and smaller. Idk maybe im too critical.

really ? too small ? Man I'm using 6" pots and I still don't have a lot of root formation at the drainage holes.. I think you'll be fine for the rest of the grow in that pot to be honest.. but in the end its up too you !!

LOL the pot will look smaller as the pot gets bigger.

I think that is the size I have Lucinda in, not sure if it's big enough but she's staying. I"m sure everyone will have different answer on this one.

Hey man they are looking great. Nice and bushy! I have mine in 10" planters just to give ya an idea of how big/small they are. I wish I could use 5 gallon buckets, thats the way to go but I dont have enough room.

Thanks guys i think ill keep it in those plants and if growth stops all of a sudden then ill try some bigger planters. For now things are still coasting.

So im thinking im going to put the plants in a rubbermaid container, that way i can just clip the lights onto the side of the container. And also i can line the inside with mylar.

Congrats on the post total there Doc !! lol

So when you say rubbermaid do you mean like 2 open ends on top of each other to make a "cab" OR just like put them in the bottom of an open one and clip the lights around the rim.. I'm not 100% visualizing this lol.. esplain plz :)

Have you put any thought into your future plan ? IE mothers, clones, how much longer are you vegging for ? All the things BigD asked me the other day and got me really thinking and in turn I'm in my 24hr dark period now and will be doing 12/12 as of tomorrow... So not that I'm saying you should do something (not at all, keep on keeping on as they say) I'm just wanting to pick your brain as to what you have planned up ahead !!

Thanks, Doc

The main reason i take them outside is because they don't get much fresh air in my closet. They need the CO2 and their's plenty of that outside.

Yeah i mean in the bottom of a rubbermaid. I got the idea from makinthemagic.




That way i can position the lights whereve i want over the plants. Im probably going to veg for another 7 more days at least. Otherwise my yield is going to suffer. I have some Feminized Pure Power Plant seeds coming right now so as soon as i get those im going to sex these and see if i need to keep em or not.

Thanks yeah it's a pretty good idea for smaller grows. And it's something i can just easily toss in my closet. Im gunna line the inside with mylar so that it will be completely reflective inside it. And once the plants get bigger i got a good setup in mind too but ill save that for later fellas.
