Killer avitar bro...I too am a southerner...

Buds are starting to from nicely. This is too kool!!!

I need to turn off that 600HPS before pics.

The Bush buds look best.

I need a tripod to hold the camera still...

dam sorry skeet must have confused ya just a little, i cut the tops of 5 of 8 and thats what i got 548. still i think its not dad for first time. i was shooting for 2oz a plant, some of them will hit that mark or close to it and some even more.

I started this just messing around. Just an experiment. I put some bag seed in some germinating thingies I got from Loews. I think it was peat moss. They popped quick. Then they stretched too much and bent over. I keep them in the germ thingy for 2 or 3 weeks. I bought a couple of water farms and added an air stone to the res and a 4’ 8 bulb t5. I cleaned the roots and stuck them in the water farm. The last week (week 2 in the water farm) they exploded. About 4 or 5 times their size a week ago. They have only grown 2” in height but have grow out like crazy.
I had no plans to see this through. Just a trial. I have to move at the end of May. But they are doing so well and it is fun so I want to finish them, just asap!!! Everything I try they like and respond. They are short and fat.
I need some guidance from those who know. I need to push the flowering and harvest assuming I have a female. They have been on 18/6. I am using GH nutes that came with the water farms. I used their website nute calculator for aggressive growth and ordered the extra juice they recommended.
1. Is it too soon to start flowering? 12/12
2. Is there any way to speed up the flowering?
3. I just want the main cola so can I cut the lower branches or leaves? If so how much trimming? I was thinking this would be the fastest way to harvest.
4. Is the short height due to the t5? I keep it about an inch from the tops.
5. I have in 6 blue and two red in now. Should I put in more red for flowering, all red or a mixture?
Any advice would be appreciated. Skeeter

Trying a new way to post pics:

KOOL It Worked!!!

Hey just to say I enjoyed reading your post and the threads that followed.
I am on my first grow as well and picked up on a few nifty pointers.
Looks like the water farm thing is something I would like to try where did you get it?

Congrats Skeeter, your plants look amazing for a first grow. You got a whole bunch of colas on each one and damn the stems are so thick, congrats. Is the thickness of the stems normal to hydro systems ?

I think we probably got our seeds from the same place cause of the mazar x afghan seeds. I split an order of White Widows and Lowryder 2 with my sister. None of the lowryder 2 germed and only 6 of the 10 widows germed. Ive read comments in the forumns about this seed company and its been mostly positive, so I assume that what happened to us was bad luck and being our first time. Also you got femized seeds so your seeds would be from a different batch than mine anyway.

As far as the hemie, remember that first the pollen needs to develop and then the ball opens up to release the pollen. When the balls first come out they dont have any pollen yet cause it needs time to develop, so as long as you take the balls out when they come out they wont have time to fertilize any calyxes. My bagseed plant was a hermie, so be on the lookout for male flowers developing in between your buds.. they wont look like balls.. they will look like little bananas coming out.

Im looking forward to following your grow once you get the widows and mazar started


Its cool thayt you went with the other picture format, also one more tip... you see how yellow the color in your pics is ? Thats cause you are probably taking the pics with your lights on and with no flash. If you try no lights and with camera flash you will get a different look.
