Pliers aren't much to figure out

Yeah he is sending a new 120v plug. Luckily my boyfriend knows how to splice it...sometimes all this can be such a headache but I know it will be worth it. I also already have a fan in the box so it shouldn't be too bad seeing it's in my bedroom where it stays cool...

image.jpeg Ladies and gentlemen we Definately have 2 ladies...of course I got feminized seeds but u never know until sex is shown...and even then they could still hermie. I see tiny tiny pistils coming out a few of the calyx...on both plants. I have been doing light defoliation and they both respond very well to it but for the sake of keeping them from turning into hermies I will not do anymore trimming until they are in full flower....I also untied the white widow and let her grow naturally now that the stretch is getting to the end...I'm on day 17 since the 12/12 switch...and the smell is really good...just wish they would form their buds faster....btw...I am now at 156 watts....and I'm only working with half of a sq ft so I believe I'm at optimal lighting...

Updates....I did a little pruning Wednesday....image.jpegand here we are today (Friday)image.jpegit's crazy how fast the leaves grow back. I'm a little frustrated with their growth rates Bc i put them into flower (12/12) on the 1st and I'm only seeing tiny fine hairs at the calyx sites...I checked for light leaks. None. Ph runs at about 6.0. Using maxi bloom..temps are at 80-82 degrees day and 76 night temp...using hydrogaurd...everything looks good just very very slow flowering...any suggestions? Oh yeah and I'm currently on 11/13 lighting 165 watts CFL 2700k...I figured it was the pruning that might have shocked it and stunted growth for a few days.?

Sorry if i missed it, how long have you vegged before flipping to flower? Maybe its just now getting sexually mature? Maybe your light comes back on during dark hours? Its kind of odd that it didnt stretch being 11/13 for almost 4 weeks

Oh yeah lol...not long only 3 weeks...I think it hasn't stretched Bc I lst'd quite a bit...then I jacked up a fim job and I ended up having 4 good tops (thru lst) but one of them in the back isn't getting much light..so I only have one top on the AK and 3 good ones on my ww. I kept thinking it was ok to prune and instead of buds I've been getting a lot of bushy growth instead...I also super cropped. i also know I messed up by putting 2 diff strains in one Rez. Also getting my tent and 400 watt hid system Bc this box is a big headache and I'm ready for the simplicity of soil and hps.

I had untied it from the lst in hopes it would stretch. I also keep the temps close which keeps growth down (contradictory much?)...also vegged 24/0
Which I'll never do again...this has been one hot mess of a grow lol

Ok! What in the hell? A few hairs here and there (fine) doesn't make a hill of beans to me since the girls are 25 days into flower (12/12) flip. I'm going to factor the supercropping and the pruning in and I know it can set u back but good Lord 25 days?!? And no bud formation? What gives? These girls are total prudes!! I dropped the ph to about 5.5 5.6 Bc this is crazy and there isn't much else I can do!! They just keep getting bushier and bushier and I want to prune so bad to get the old bud suckers out from under (no pruning fan leaves learned my lesson)...but I'm waiting for some damn formation...hell I don't even see those fat hairs they are very fine!!

Oh no!!! So I was pruning and I accidentally snapped one of my main colas. I snipped it almost in two. It was hanging by maybe 15% (what was left). I cried a little...then I told my boyfriend to run and grab some tape and a straw. I taped the wound and then I put a straw around to use as a splint. I'm know she will heal, but I know I just added about 2 more weeks to my flower...I weep....any suggestions!!?

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg She is spitting out hairs finally....I snapped off the stem of one of her colas but splinted and fixed her...also made the soup too strong and gave her tips slight nute burn...flushed with phd water and added slight nutes...wanted to show y'all the stems Bc I super cropped a while back. Her slow growth was Bc off all the training and pruning, but now that she is back on the right path I think it will be a big payoff...image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpeg

I have kept it simple. Ph 5 to 6.2, hydrogaurd, maxi bloom. Also have koolbloom liquid on the way so about to start that...I just want some dank buds!

Dude I have never grown a plant in my life. And I did hydro. It has been costly Bc as much research as u think u know u still have to keep changing it up to get better results. I've had to add many lights, I've had to do more rigging than I ever realized I could do...I've had to have nutrients I didn't even need overnighted at rediculous costs...ph meters, Ppm meters, ph supplies. Lots of twine and tape fo sho...fans. Stick with maxi grow and maxi bloom...then Kool bloom u can't go wrong. Get a tent and an HID system and keep fans in and u should be fine. And hudrogaurd is a lifesaver. Don't be afraid to try new things....I even snapped my main off and she is better than ever. It will increase time but it will pay off!
