Hey markj, just read through your journal and I'm chiming in.
Looks like I got here just at the right time with some nice long sativa dicks starting to fatten up, I like it. :wink:
I admire anyone who grows sativa's indoors, I personally don't have the patience or the space. Maybe one day. I do have a Barneys G13 Haze fem' seed sitting in my collection so I guess there will come a time.
Anyway all looks good, so all the best for the rest of the grow.

PS. That hash looks mighty tasty :weed: good find.
Thanx a lot Mammath!! :) feel free to comment anytime...

It does take a lot of patience.... It's unbelievable how long they take. I've got some Green House seeds, El Nino and Lemon Skunk, both indicas, and I can't wait to grow them. But the sativas are not going any faster...lol After this grow's finished, I'll be growing indicas for some time!
During this grow I understood that if you're limited on space, like I am, you should start training your sativas early, and don't let them veg for too long... I didn't start the training early enough and now I don't even have the space to take a few decent pics. Not to mention the bleaching on the top of the buds that are right under the light. I'll go right now and take some pics...at least I'll try...:)

PS: the hash feels nice too :mrgreen::mrgreen:

Yeah, I hear ya on the bleaching.
I got a little bleaching directly under the bulb on my last grow. Fucking pissed me off.
Try and tie those colas out from directly under the bulb, I know it's difficult in such cramped quarters though.
This confined growing sucks.
I'm used to having an entire bedroom to grow in but now that I'm all settled down with family that's not possible.
I'm currently in the process of knocking together a new flower cab for my next grow - 4' x 4' x 7'. I should be able to get two monsters in that size.
Already using the current cab for vegging my next crop in. Should be flowering again in a few weeks.
All the best.

I'd prefer a room too, but right now it's not possible. I'll be moving out sometime round the end of the summer, I'll try to find a place with a spare room...:mrgreen:


will you be starting a journal for your next grow too??

Cut all of the foliage under the screen off? I've heard its good to do that after 30 days of flowering.
most of them are taken off, or fell off by themselves.
Here's a pic.
You can also see that I've started training a bit late, that's why I've got height problems.

Yeah, I will be starting one once i know what I'm going to grow.
I have a few strains vegging at the moment, just got to pick the best of the bunch to throw into the flower cab. probably going to be a Sensi Super Skunk and Barneys Violator Kush grow, we'll wait and see.

Man it is fucking crowded in there hey.
That's what you call a sativa jungle.
That bleaching sucks, but there's so much bud in there I don't think you'll miss 'em. You could even get rid of the worst ones because they're just taking up valuable space and with them out the way it will allow more light to get to the ones that are doing well. Or just tie them down out the way if possible.
How's your temps and ventilation going with the crowding?

I'm always trying to remove them from under the light, but there's not much room that they can go to....lol

The temps are a bit high when the lights are on, but the girls seem to be doing alright with that. They go up to 88deg. On my next grow, I'll make sure that the girls won't go that high. I'll make a new screen and keep them fairly low. Then I'm sure that I won't be having any temp problems at all.
About the ventilation, there's an exhaust fan trying to suck as mush of the hot air as possible. It blows into a carbon filter.

pics so you can see what I'm talking about:

If you look carefully at the pics, you'll see that there's a white plastic screen. It's not so easy to see, because it's getting too crowded in there, and it's also not easy for me to take pics from the top, because the buds are as high as they can be.
For my next grow, I'll start the training earlier, and i'll put the screen lower... It will be much better.

If one has a confirmed female, and a confirmed herme......Will they breed and make feminized seeds???? or will it make herminized seeds?? Are some plant phenos dominant to others....like the blue eyes, brown eyes, slanted eyes, thing????

That's pretty much the concept of producing feminized seeds. Not all hermies are the same though. You'd prefer a hermie that's "mostly female".

I only know that some phenotypes of a strain are less possible to appear, compared to the other phenotypes of the same strain, but I don't know if a particular phenotype is dominant to another.

That's a hell of a lot of sativa dicks in there markj.
