Spanky's "Second Life" on CFLs

So 14 days in flower and no sign of pre-flowers. My last plant got six days into flower and it had balls :cry:. She......no he...was 50 days old and a bush. So I'm sure even if this one's a girl the yield just wont be the same.

So anyway I'm in a dilemma. Do I go ahead and repot or do I just ride it out? Seeing as she doesn't wanna lift her skirt I'm not really inclined to throw more resources into these bagseed adventures. I'm really thinking I showed save my mix for the 5 ladies I got coming.

Yeah buddy! So we stepped out Friday morning and didn't get back til the next day so I missed my daily light adjustment. But, I did have sense enough Thursday night to raise just a tad bit more then I usually due in anticipation of missing Friday night. Well, when the lights turned on at 8:08pm Saturday the tops were seriously an 1/8th inch from touching the bulbs.

Got a really cool bonus for the grow. My father in-law fixed a piece of furniture for us and strapped it to the caravan luggage rack with this heavy gauge coated wire. Pretty sure this is the shit you find in the walls of a hundred year hold house, lol. We pulled 70mph the whole way home for a good 3 hours all highway. Trust me when I tell you I trust this mans work and insight and felt comfortable at that speed. Upon unstrapping our wares I get the idea to use these manly ass wires for the LST. The coating makes it plant friendly and who doesn't appreciate a stiff rod? Hey, I love playing with my little girl but I'm not into pain.

I'm guessing this is a Sativa dom bagseed right here.

Over the years I've collected the beautiful beans of the best tokes we've come across. It's gonna pay off too cause my buddy hooked me up with a bean stash he'd started collecting. All in all I've got 30+ reg seeds that are far superior to ditch weed and 15 mixed seeds from past cup winners. The bagseeds from now on are gonna be grown 12/12 from seed in either 24oz or 32oz cups. I have 4 24oz cups now but I'd like to run at least 6 at a time with the bagseed to increase my odds of getting a viable lady. The cup winners I'm on the fence about. These came from my friend and I know they are the real deal as far as genes are concerned. My issue is with throwing good resources at great genes that turn out to be male.

That doesn't look Sativa dom my friend, haha.

Stop worrying about if it's a male or female, most bagseeds are females if you only found a couple seeds.

Put love into it and love is what you will be given back, Bagseed is still seed and in fact is all I've ever grown with.

Whether it be a mail or a low yielding strain, the knowledge you gain is something that will indefinitely help you in your next operation.

Just picked up a bag of Perlite, 4 more Y splitters and a box of 2.7K bulbs today. Can't wait to get in when the lights come on so I can get to work. Gonna transplant the girl this week and get her into a 3 gal pot and out of the 1.5 gal she's in now.

Got a crap ton of soil left and 1/3 a bag of peat moss. Ran out of perlite last week when I set up my 24oz seed cups. I do 2 parts soil to 1 part peat 1 part perlite. Works really well so fat and I love how the soil mix stays loose.

I'd be interested in looking to your light, perhaps not enough lumens hitting those leaves....? 14 days and no definition is rare, keep your cfls close with a small pc fan!

I take it you didn't read the second post or the whole thread for that matter? Anywho, she did show sex like 2 hours after I first checked. I posted a pic of it.

I just go with the fox farms ocean bag, I was thinking of making my own mix. Just never really looked into it, I am on my first real grow right now, semi not real.. Learning curves!
