Repeating the same mistakes

Here's a progression of how the plant looked from when it started looking unhealthy to after the nutrients were applied (first pick taken right after applying the nutrients.) The third picture was taken when the nutrients had been in the soil for 48 hours. This was around the time the soil was smelling bad and the leaves perked up. The difference between the first and last picture is exactly 7 days. It is pretty cool to see the difference the nutrients made.

I was able to get a hand on some more seeds, I have no idea what strain but same as the previous ones I got, I think. I have 6 seedlings that are starting to poke out of the soil. Hopefully I will get a female this time.

One last picture from 9 days after the last pic was taken. It grew so much. Still mad at myself it ended up a male. :wall:

Started over with 5 seedlings this time, so I guess there is only a 1/32 chance I will not have a female. Started them on the GO Box schedule yesterday.

Ok I think I'm almost to where I was last time, except this time the plants aren't dying. I think they are about 5 weeks old now. Hoping to determine which are male and which are female soon.

It will be hard to tell until u start flowering. After around a month they should be about to show preflowers, u can tell by them if y see them. Put them in flower when they are half the size you want them to be. ( they double in height during flower)

They are about halfway to the top of the light now. I was planning on getting a cool tube because I'm going to switch to a HPS light, but I don't know if that will cool it down enough when they start getting their tallest. I think I might need to switch to some cooler CFL bulbs and run some lighting at the sides and very top of the tent.

Right now I have a box fan outside blowing air through a vent and the hot air is venting through the top of the tent. I have had them veg 24/0 so there wouldn't be any light leaks because I didn't have a good ventilation system set up. I'll have to replace the ventilation so I can seal out any spot light will leak in when I switch to 12/12. I'm hoping to be able to do this just using a fan to pull air out through a filter and just doing passive intake so I don't need to get another fan. Hopefully that will be enough to keep the plants from smelling like the fertilizer.
