Hi Roseman.

My question is in regards to your lighting.
I count eight reflectors and I have to assume there is at least one possibly two over the tub on the left of the closet.

You have mentioned you wish to add more once they are sexed.

Can you tell me the total wattage you are using now and what your plans are durring flower? I am considering doing it myself.

you are are only considering? :shock: ;-)

do they sell much larger manifolds than 6outlets anywhere ?




The DiG Twelve Outlet Irrigation Manifold includes twelve 2.5 gal/hour emitters. The top of the manifold can be unscrewed with the inner filter being removable.

I have already posted or answered that three times in this thread, Page 36, Post # 354 WAS THE THIRD TIME.


Hanging now is
3 6500k 85 watt bulbs
1 6500k 105 watt bulb
1 5000k 105 watt bulb
2 4100k 105 watt bulbs
2 3000k 105 watt bulbs
over three containers, over 14 plants.

I am adding more 2700 and 3000k bulbs this coming weekend for Flowering.

I figured out yesterday that I am half way there now.
Half way is a time to clean up, re-evaluate and fix things that need fixing.
Daily, when I get home, my pH is 7 and I reduce it back to 6, except for the bucket. I find it at 7.4 and 7.5 almost every evening, it is really too small for three big hungry plants. Anf when I removed the pump, I slightly damaged some roots, tearing them into small pieces that needed removing.
I drug the bucket out into the center of the room, and sat the lid on a new empty bucket so I could clean the old bucket. I actually carried the lid with the 3 plants to the bathroom and rinsed the roots off clean in the shower.

I thought it made an interesting picture. The tallest one in the bucket is 32 inches tall, and I have three other plants the same height.

I saw a plant last night with what looked like a NUT, or a small crab claw, indicating it was a male. I anticipated getting up today and removing that male and finding some more males to remove, but instead, the NUT had two hairs growing out of it.

I can see several that I think or suspect are males, but I am not 100% sure.

And on a sad note, I dropped a lamp and it landed squarely in the middle of my largest female and broke off 5 major branches. I mean broke OFF too. A pitiful site, it happened so quick. I could cry. I 'm going to have a couple shots with my beer this evening.

I put my foot in the pic to show you how big those branches were. Those five branches would have grown even longer and given me a couple ounses of buds.





I had to do some serious BENDING OVER of some of the taller plants today. They call it LST, or Low Stress Training. Normally, LST also means tying them down or tying them over, or tying weights to the tops to bend them over, but I did not tie them, I only tilted two of the grow cups sideways.
Breaking those 5 branches sure thinned them out some. Ohhh, it hurt.

Let me show you some pics I have collected over the years of some males and female flowers and pre-flowers and even a hermaphrodite . A hermaphrodite is a mix, a plant with both male and female flowers on the same plant. Hermaphrodites ususally appear AFTER the males are removed and a female then tries to grow male flowers so it can reproduce and make seeds.

A friend, Lt Shiny Sides gave me this pic of his first male and you can plainly see a "nut" or male pre-flower (staminate). There are two on the left and one on the right.

A Great male pic, from Lt Shiny Sides.

omg, sorry to hear about your light butchering your female, Roseman!!

Man I have been out a while and just came back to the last like 5 or so pages of your grow. Holy moly!! You have some serious "weeds" growing there, something fierce!! LOOKIN GOOD!! :twisted:

I was thinking LST is what I usually use too, but in your case, you might consider some kind of SCROG (SCReen Of Green) to put all of that under control, better organize it, and ensure node direct access to light. Just a thought - you obviously know what you're doing and "taught me everything I know" at Bubbleponics, but I guess my version of growing is so super stealth that I need to keep things tightly organized as my grow box is only 1.5x2x3 (for 3 plants, usually 2oz each).

A calyx (female pre-flower) can appear to be a male pre-flower, without the two pistils (Hairs). If you are not 100% sure, wait a day or two to see if the pistils appear.

Female pre-flowers are easier to distinguish than male pre-flowers. The female pre-flower has the two hairs. It is a lot easier to tell a male flower later, when it is a true flower. It looks like an upside down bunch of bananas.
