Ok so here's the background. My apologies for starting a thread a little further along, but hey, I'm here. :mrgreen::joint: Yes I ramble & it's a big run on paragraph. Started with 142 watts of cfl in 16 oz party cups about 4 weeks ago (4x25 watt 6500k + 1 42 watt 2700k). I germed nyc diesel seeds I got from a friend & indica bagseeds i had collected in paper towels in sandwich baggies. At 3 weeks I added 200 more watts of CFL (8x25 watt 6500k) under a wing attached to a bathroom fixture for a total of 342 watts. I will be adding more light soon! The real kicker is we have ambient light coming in from a window well that gets eastern exposure to the room, so there's extra light from that too. A friend also gave me 1 White Widow female & 1 Trainwreck female from an outdoor garden with more to follow. ( You can be jealous now, or even more jealous when I cross them with nyc diesel to make White Diesel & Widow Wreck ) They are both 5 1/2 weeks old now. Some plants are topped, some will be lst'd soon, some will be be left alone. None of my seeds are femm'd so hopefully I get more females than males. No temp gauges or ph monitoring yet, everything looks great. It's probably 76-78 degrees in the room with humidity a little high, probably 60-70%+ since it's downstairs. Using tap water. Just switched to 5 gallon buckets with espoma plant tone 5-3-3 fed 1 tbsp. per 3 inches of pot width. Been using superthrive every watering as well for healthy roots. Also used it in germination & seedling stages. Good stuff. Light cycle for now is 24-0. I used various soils, mixtures of mostly those new moisture retaining soils with ferts added & some extra perlite & vermiculite as well. Here is one crappy phone pic, the WW is in the orange container, the Trainwreck in the black container, & the Indica is just to the left of the TW. The rest are ALL NYC Diesel, ohhh yaaaa. Will post more next week as I have transplanted more. Questions, comments & even trolls are all welcome. bongsmilie

Thanks for the compliment & for stopping by. Ya none of my seeds are fem'd. I got the WW & the TW from a friend, they were already growing so I can't refer to them as "my seeds" ya know? lol They are both fem's tho. Sorry about the run on paragraph & the confusion man, I hope they keep goin like they have been, if my WW turns out anything like yours I'll be super happy! Should have new pics this week as well! & I will say I'm a stickler for spelling but like you said it's your thread & your time. Not really someone else's business, we're here to compare grows & get advice, not go back to english class. & there's more cfl's comin for flowering, I'm hopin to get up around 700-800 watts. I want to show you can get a good yield from multiple plants with cfl.

When do you think I should start flowering? Probably soon right? I'm thinking by the end of the month at the latest.

I started flowering my plant at 14". I did this because I can tell my plant is a sativa from the thin leaves. Sativas usually double- triple in height during flowering. Flowering time depends on how much room you have where your growing typically.

ooo. lol. ok i get cha. well thats good at lest u know u will have 2 females.. and if u end up with a male.. just put it sumwhere seperate.. and harvest the pollen and creat sum of ur own seeds. =) adn its fine im the same way with my paragraphs.. i tend to write these long assss paragraphs as well. and my spelling is horrible!! i get soo manye messages and shit soo weneva i sign on.. i have soo much to write/keep up with.. i have like 3 or 4 threads goin as well that i have to keep up with.. soo im always fuckin up my spellin cuz im in such a rush. lol

and yeaa with that many watts of CFL's u should be good.. i mean u saw wat 350+ watts can do with one plan t.. soo almsot triple that among a group of plants... you will be all set man. cant wait to see the new pics either!!

how old are they exactly?? i like to veg for 3-4 weeks.. or when they're almost 1 ft tall. cuz they r gonna double/triple in size once they get put into flowering.

Bein lazy, I should've gone over there tonight to check things out.

& I'm way past 3-4 weeks. The diesel & indicas are past 5 weeks, the WW & TW are working past 6 now with most of that time spent outdoors. :D Hopin to have at least 8-10 plants to flower if not more...

I've got a mixture of sativas & indicas but I've got about a 6ft ceiling so it's all good. Tall plants will get trained! & thanks for stopping by Integrity!! I was checking out your thread b4, lookin good.

With all due respect though, flowering time is determined by light cycle & phenotype, not how much room you have.

New pics!! Let's just say this is the last week of veg? What do you guys think? I think they are stretching a little bit & I need more light. :( Which isn't in the budget this week. But, none the less, in order, we have a (semi) full shot of the garden, then closeups of Bagseed, White Widow, Trainwreck, & my fav NYC Diesel. Then we have more NYC Diesel. :D Then the next two pics are a shot of the tub area with 3 nyc diesels & two bagseed indicas. Then we have 2 more freshly transplanted bagseed indicas. The last pic is some LST'ing I have done on a couple of stressed out NYC diesels. I didn't have the <3 to kill em. :P HPIM1677.jpgHPIM1676.jpgHPIM1669.jpgHPIM1668.jpgHPIM1674.jpgHPIM1670.jpgHPIM1675.jpgHPIM1671.jpgHPIM1672.jpg

QUESTIONS & COMMENTS ARE REALLY APPRECIATED GUYS & IF THEY ARE CONSTRUCTIVE OR COMPLIMENTARY I WILL AUTOMATICALLY + REP YOU! :D

lookin good man!! and just so ya know.. if u ever wanna make ur pics bigger.. wen u upload them.. and you leave ue pointer over the pic.. you'll see a lil pencil in the top left corner. if u click that.. you can center it and htings like that.. and also make the pics bigger. i like to do mine at full size.. you get to see MUCH more detail. =) just a thought.

and yeaa they could maybe use a lil more light... =/ but they'll survive. =) and yeaa this bein the last week sounds good.. cuz they're gonna grow ALOT wen u put them into flowering.. the 1st couple weeks they tend to grow alot.. all the way up till maybe... week 5/6? sumwehre around there.

Thanks for stopping by! You lost me though man, what did you mean, your plant stopped growing? Post a pic, I'll be happy to look at it. There's certainly nothing wrong with my trainwreck, it might be the healthiest plant in the garden. & I'm not flowering yet, that won't happen unless I change my light cycle.

Thanks for stopping by & subbing. The HPS really isn't in the budget right now, I'm scraping by on a minimal amount of unemployment money & Toyota wants my car back if I'm not gonna pay for it. lol

I'm well aware of what an HPS can do, but it's not in the cards right now. If that changes everyone here will be the first to know!

Thank you sir! I know I need more light my man but my budget is killing me this week. & the pics weren't big & pretty enuff for ya? lol I'll try & mess with it next time I take pics, should be another update by the end of the week.

Thanks as always for stoppin in dude, smoke some WW for me!
