Wow Lookin good your BIG BUD plant looks alot like my Burmese Sativa with the fat Leaves mine are not looking near as good as your but only on 3 weeks from start of germination today. So We will see I am tryin to figure out if i have NUTE burn or my PH is screwed up we will see after a couple days if its too much nutes then i will flush.

I am gonna watch this one! Good luck flowering!!
Thx man! and thx for stopping by. My 2 big buds had slight nute burn earlier but they recovered after I flushed, I think I got a few pics on page 1. Only thing I been feeding them is Grow Big and superthrive. I am going to start the Tigerbloom next feeding.

Nice grow you got going man! How many fuckin CFL's were you using LOL! CFL's are the shit I'm gonna be using a tight ass CFL setup in rubbermaid with mad LST action hoping to pull a couple zips out of it. I have heard that speedy growth sometimes means male plant but I have never grown b4 so I have no idea. Anyways good luck with your grow and those 400watters will do you wonders! Just have some carbon scrubbers or your whole house will smell from what i've read! I noticed that your BigBuds are smaller and not as close to the light. You may wanna put some phone books or something under them to get them closer. More even light distribution you know?

Peace

Dude, I had a shit load of CFL's in there. I think it was 18 or 20 at one point...lol I read the same about males growing faster...but we will see..(crossing my fingers) Thanks for stopping by:peace:

Youu should be able to tell if its nute or PH, ph just makes more defeciences happen Spelling, whats ur ph at right now? Soil or water? Check ph first, cause if its PH flushing wont help unless U've taken care of it :P good luck brotha

You know I just might do that...They been on 24/7 Lights so I know 24 hrs of dark time.. They will be like YO what the fuck is up...lol
Whoa brotha, next time try the 18/6 light cycle vs the 24/7 cause plants dont take in 24 hours of light anything over 18 is really useless, plus lights out gives the plant time to rest n alot more root growth goes on at this time, people go back n forth about which one to do. I suggest since you did the 24/7 this time, keep good records n give 18/6 a try next time around brotha, n compare the results see which one really works better for u.. plus the whole 18/6 makes it a cooler GROW op, n saves some energy :P haha Hope this helps bro

w0bi Thx bro!! I did the 24hr dark period, and now they are on 12/12 with the 400w HPS and some CFL's. I also started the TIGER BLOOM today mixed with the GROW BIG 1/4 of suggested. Plants seem to like the HPS. Can't wait till they show so I can spoil the "bitches" lol :peace:

Flower Day 5 or 6 - I am almost 100% sure 1 of the Big Buds is a male(Plant has been removed from room.) None of the other plants have balls all over the place..not yet anyways. Bubblegum #3 is a girl. I could clearly see the 2 pistols sticking out. Other plants are not really showing clearly.

Few pics of The suspected male BIG BUD Plant. I just need confirmation from you guys before I put it out of its misery...lol :peace:

Nice plants man! If you check out my journal I'm growing the sisters of your beans :) I got Thai Stick freebies and they are my favorites so far. I am also only using FF Grow Big and Super Thrive. I started out with about 4 23w cool CFLs then moved to a 2 foot T5HO and will soon flip with a 600w HPS. My plants stretched a lot more the yours! The Bubble Gum is the only one I can smell right now too! I'm going to set up shop here because I want to see how quickly yours blow up now that they are in 12/12. Keep up the good work bro!

yo looks great cant wait to watch uhm flower :hump:
Day 9 Flowering - Not a good day

Got a magnifying glass and a microscope..and bad news followed :cry:
Only clear female so far is Bubblegum #3.

Bubblegum #2 Male for sure. Has been removed. About to slay it.

The smaller NL plant is also male. Going in the trash.

I suspect the other 3 not including BG#3 are also male..but I will leave them in there another day until I am 100%. positive.

Here are a few random pics from a few days ago.. I left my camera at my bros house..:peace:

Sorry about the dudes again. Did your bubble gum always have such broad indica leaves or did they start to show like that after 12/12?
