My PC grow case and it's inhabitants.

[Jerry Garcia]

Indeed, that dude's got balls. Get him outta there.

I was wondering what most people usually do with their males after they trash them? It seems like such a waste to just throw them away, I want to recycle it somehow--chop it up and mix it in my soil or something to that effect.

For the plant in question, I think its too late to recycle as there is pollen brewing in those balls that needs to stay away, so grinding it up seems like it will contaminate the females. However, if you sexed early enough, could it be used as compost?

Ok so the male plant is now gone, do females take longer to show sex?

YEP..............................like a week or two for me this time. do you know what strain it is?

 

[fitch303]

I have no idea on the strain.

 

[fitch303]

Ok I can confirm the plant on the far right on page 3 is a female, I can see the two little hairs coming out from bud spots YAY!!! Is it too late to lst? Since the other 2 plants were male I now have a ton of room for the female to bend.

 

[Bublonichronic]

yea, i say u can still top it, but i would do it now..

 

[fitch303]

I've scrapped the pc case and moved up to a floor speaker which has at the very least 2x as much room. The plant was growing so tall it was touching the bulbs and burning some leaves. I'm just happy it's a female and has started budding.

I'm thinking about giving it a few days of 24 hour light after the replant then switching back to flower mode.

 

[fitch303]

are 4 23 cfl watt bulbs to much for 1 plant?

 

[T@ll T33]

I SAy LEAVE IT IF YOUR NOT HAVING HEAT ISSUES!!

 

[Bublonichronic]

wait there is such a thing as to much light?

 

[bikeskill]

4 23 watts is not that much unless it is to hot then its not worth it

 

[fitch303]

I took 1 bulb out, the leaves were wilting so I think there was too much heat.
So where do the buds come out, anywhere there are those little hairs? it's growing like crazy

 

[thinkhigh]

wait there is such a thing as to much light?

What? Why am I just hearing about this until now. After all the research, I finally read that you can have too much light. Damn........

I think it causes bleaching of the leaves or something like that...the chlorophyll breaks down and doesn't produce energy

 

[bikeskill]

how much light is to much? i have yet to see that.......................

 

[L8tnightskunk]

she looks nice keep up the good work

 

[fitch303]

My plant has doubled in size since my last pics were posted on 3/13 it's unreal how fast it growing, MAKE IT STOP!!!!

 

[fitch303]

So I moved some thing around and decided that the best possible place for this plant is the empty closet underneath my staircase. The conclusion ive come to is that pc grow cases are a huge waste of time and resoucres.

 

[fitch303]

Ok here are a couple more shots (3/27) the plant has a couple new shoots coming out towards the bottom of the plant.

 

[bikeskill]

you should lst her, and i totally agree with you on the pc grow. I C you got the recipe for success
