IMHO though its not a good trait if 1 started flowering under 24 hours. I like really large plants in 20 gallon containers. So if they start flowering on 24, it will limit the size, and also IMHO no good for cloning/mother plants.

Thanks for the heads up with that. It was plant 8, so I'll take her out the options of being the mother :wink: Was the smallest plant too.

I just wonder if any others would have started flowering if kept going under veg longer.

I was going to use some Early Pearl 1 time about 20+ years ago, and all of it would start to flower after a certain amount of time in veg. Also under 24 hours of 1000 watt HPS Hortilux Super Bulb, with added Blue.

No, all the others still look like they have just shown their sex. They still do today. I have a good look at them every day to check all is good.

Thanks for your advice. I have hardly any experience growing photoperiods. Auto's is a different story.

A new used led again :lol:

Advanced diamond series xml 150, 135w draw. Has a white and blurple option. Has dimmer switches too, which is interesting... Teamed it up with a 250w hps above my fast bud#2's.

Got some epsom salts otw, so will do a feed with that when it's here. Here are 2 of the fast bud#2's on day 33

Next is the 3 black jack auto's on day 33, plus 1 of the fast bud#2's. These are still under a 250w vertical metal halide. 6500k. Nice and healthy so just leaving them be. I'll plug the 250w hps in when they start flowering properly.

Next up it the 7 Sweet Afghan Delicious plants on the right, with the 7 Sweet cheese's on the left, all plants on day 25 from seed. I just don't like removing leaves, but due to plant numbers being so high in here, I decided it was best to remove the top 4 fan leaves on pretty much every plant in here. Plus I leaf tucked a few more. I just felt the plants were in a real good stage of growth, so didn't have any kind of lockout and would recover well. 12 hours later there are loads more tops already. Running 400w 400v hps + 315w 4200k cmh in 4ft x 4ft area.

Also I have added some 1.2m tent poles at the side to stop the tent sides sucking in. It's added a nice amount of space!

Next up is 5 skunks, a purple haze, 2 diesels on day 25, also 1 fast bud#2 on day 33. I added the fast bud 2 in here yesterday, right in the middle under both lights. She's will eat up that light for the next 2-3 weeks til harvest. She'll be 1st to be cut down in here, so gets the best position in the tent.

She is a bit taller than most of the plants in here.

4ft x 4ft area, 315w 3100k cmh with a philips greenpower 400w hps.

C'99 feeds done. 1ml grow, 2ml bloom, 1/3 dose of wettable mykos. Ph 6.4.

Down to 3 Grimmidica's. Pretty poor considering I started with a 12 pack of regs. Lost 5 due to grower error at the germination stage. Tried germinating them at the time of my property visit and it went a bit tits up! Since then I have been pulling male after male from them so far. 1 is female, 2 are not showing yet. I would really like the last 3 to be female, as they are slightly different from each other, so would like to choose the best, not just have 1 that lived and 1 that turned out female (: The one that is female is a good plant though :weed:

I'm going to give every plant plain water for the next week, then epsom salts, then will hit them with high amounts of bloom.

I'm looking for an early finish with the auto's. I'm not looking for ambers, as they are for rso.

Good to have you on board. I know what you mean, I've been meaning to pop in to see your plants too. Growing under cob I believe ey?

I'm going to be facing a big electric bill this time again :-( Will be going cob myself real soon..!

Update time.

So two 4ft x 4ft tents. Here is the 1st 400w hps + 315w cmh 4200k daylight lamp. I've just stripped all the lower growth and fed these girls 1 liter each of epsom salts. 7 sad's on the right, 7 cheese's on the left. All auto's from sweet seeds for the rso.

The auto's are going so fast that I have set up a veg tent + taken C'99 clones from C'99 1 and C'99 2. They both looked very strong and sexed 1st, so went with those 2.

Veg tent is the 2 female grimmidica regs at the back.

4 regular Grimm mix (Don't know sex yet)

6 C'99 mother plants, all these are under the xml150

Black Jack auto's and a fast bud 2. 3ft x 3ft area 250w dual spec hps. This did have a metal halide in, but they are in flowering now.

250w hps in a 3ft tent is one of the quietist, easy, most pleasant grow area's to grow weed in! Yeah a 400w would yield more, but this really is easy street in here! I can get the 250w hps so close as it's vertical :weed:

Brother's Grimm C'99 update

Day 11 of 12/12

Just no room for anything else in here! Using between 650w-700w of cmh and blurple led's in here

These are stretching quite a bit! I'm enjoying growing these plants, I know what's coming and it doesn't get any better than C'99! The lst and supercropping on them weeks back was totally worth it. Look at their strong stems go :lol: Even where the tops are, the stems are already feeling quite woody! :leaf:(:
