Found about a 7-10 gallon pot some dead plant was in outside. I cant tell how big it is but its got about a 1 1/2 inch space when I put the 5 gallon in it. So if I do need to transplant it I got something. Anyways, I like the way your plant looks. All the tops look nice and even. Great job!

Thanks, there are 5 big colas that are quite a bit above all the rest, about a dozen smaller tops on the "second level". Just wrapping up week 5, so about half way there.

You know what, the Big Lots down the street had these cheap looking portable greenhouses for like $30-40, worst case you could get something like that or cover your plants at night when it is going to get cold.

Ahh, not so freaked anymore ...I also didn't even think but I could just bring her inside at night -_- lol. Good thing I stuck with keeping her in that bucket man. Good call about having the mobility. I'm thinking if she starts to bud around a week or 2, she could possibly finish just as it starts to get around that 60degree day/30 degree night weather. I have no idea the strain but it looks sativa dominant hybrid to me so I'm just giving it a 2 month buffer zone. Gosh I hope this years September is drawn out.

I think ill be ok if I just keep on bringing her inside when its cold out during October. It shouldn't disrupt light cycle or temperature so theoretically I could go as long as November if the weather sticks around 70s =/.

Not much change, 5 weeks down.

I did get some new growth on my clones so it looks like both of them are going to make it.. Need to keep them small and hope momma does not go longer than 10 weeks.

Trust me I feel for you guys. I was there once a few years back. no room for anything... But with time and experience you will all expand. :)

My tent is MUCH smaller than the room it's in..... eventually I can see myself moving the tent to another room for veg and using the whole room for flowering......


BTW hbbum- I'm getting another 400w MH/HPS setup next week. gonna run 800w for veg and 1200w for flower. :) should get some HUGE colas now. :)

Hell yeah.. Ironically I actually have 2x400W and a 90W LED along with nearly 200W of CFL, I just do not have a place to put them. Planning on building a little closet in my office (2x4), but I would need to interrupt my grow in order to build it :D

Need to convince my buddy to start a tent so I can toss my plants in his space for a weekend whilst I build out the closet. I also want to be able to put a key lock on the grow room door to keep the little ones from being able to open it.. Right now it doesn't have an obvious way to open it, but not sure how long that will keep em out.

I am pretty happy about that, seems I may try a little mini SOG if both seeds and both clones live.. Or I maybe I will see if I can keep one of these clones going as a mother. Too early now, will see how things turn out.

Water last night a tbsp of molasses and 2 tbsp of grow big because I am getting some yellowing. I am concerned that it may actually be a bit of lockout since I am not able to pH my water. I am still waiting on my new pH pen, I ordered an extra as well in the event I drop another one.

Its a good thing you are able to compensate for the yellowing right away though, good job! keep those updates. How much longer does she have left you think?
