First off everyone is welcome to comment on this and advise is always welcome:peace:

Okay so at the moment I have one clone growing under 12/12 light that has been under 12/12 since before i cut it so its a bit of an experiment as to what turns out of it. I have two clones in the wing waiting to be put in the flower chamber for the SOG. As for the seeds I am also doing an experiment with them because they were all started on a 12/12 light cycle and im hoping to just keep the choice male or two and plant them outside for their pollen/seeds.

They are under Two 32w 6500k CFL's right now just to keep temperatures down until I install a 70cfm exhaust with vents on the lower back for intake..

enough ranting. more pics and details on the SOG to come..

these are the mothers of clones I have... good high (bagseed)

So here are some pics of what i have going on right now. Like the seedlings this clone also spent the first 2 weeks of its life outside... I don't know how it survived outside with no roots and frost but its showed new growth so its still kickin!:weed:

Does Anyone know what the burning on my seedlings is? Is it nute burn because i put a little tiny bit of happy frog in the soil when i mixed it... Let me know what you think RIU!

P.S. Flowering room is coming along nice. Hopefully I can get pics within the week of that! :bigjoint:

Welcome subscribers! Just got my DWC all set up so hopefully i can get some pics of that soon.
The babies are exploding now that they are used to being indoors under better conditions. The clone is still comin along, dont know whats going to happen to it but we shall see.
Ill get pictures of the flower room in the next update now that its all operational. bongsmilie
ALSO!!!! If your considering painting your room white, consider buying chrome spray paint, I used some cheap silver paint and was amazed, and I know rust-oleum sells chrome paint in the larger cans that kicks ass for reflectivity...

Week 2 Update
I was tired of waiting to borrow a real camera so I took some crappy cellphone pictures. Not the detail I wanted but oh well.

I transplanted most of the girls into my hydro setup because this was my goal in the first place :clap:

I didn't know how any of it was going to turn out since they started in soil. I took good care not to damage the roots when pulling them out then rinsed them with water before putting them into their totes. growth became very stunted and the leaves were drooping down hard. after realizing that it was heat damage and the ph being too high I decided it would be good to add the fan on the bottom and flushed with a balanced ph nute solution. :o

I've been monitoring the heat daily and seeing that the lowest it ever gets is 70deg and pushes 85 at points! This made me try out adding my own CO2 emitting yeast bottle and adding a second fan to blow directly on the leaves, it actually has shown quite an improvement. The leaves are nice and full again and I actually have seen a huge growth spurt in all the plants within 48 hours! I simply placed the tube end behind the fan that blows directly on the plants.

Pics are explained in the names.. Enjoy!


Any advise on the room or methods are much appreciated!

I've been slacking on this one hard but its mostly because I'm a stoner and journals like this aren't followed haha.. Anyhow

About 3 days ago one of my plants showed sex. Of course the largest and best one with less than 1cm spacing between the nodes turns out to be a male. Whats worse is that the other now biggest one might just be a male too. :wall:

Either way I'm impressed that it only took 3 weeks from seed for the plant to start showing sex. Hopefully the others will follow within the week and be females to boot!

Delays in the flowering room are about over, I cut the side wall boards too wide and they wont fit.. of course I pre-wrapped them in mylar so now I have to rip that off, cut a half inch off one edge and re glue the pieces on :wall::wall:

Good thing I'm patient about this and learned to just take all the time in the world to make sure its done right! I don't want anything going on until everything is set in place down to the filter!!

Pics are from the 13th, one week ago today. I'll try to get more in the following days but the real updates will come with the new flowering room.

First two pics are of the male, for 12/12 from seed on my first hydro I'm impressed!
