8 weeks today...... still a few days to go.. im going crazy wait anticipation...
took a few pics of the clones i have and the sprouts.. because i wasnt quite ready to be bombarded like this with the clones, and the fact i still havent gotten new t5 ballasts or cfls, i am keeping the girls like this for the mean time... i am rotating the lower ones up to the top everyday.. well thats the plan.. i have a little water in the tray with some rooting hormones to keep the grow mediums it up... but i am going to hopefully only have a few more days they have to stay like this and then they will be in the hydro system...
as mentioned before i dont know if i am going to be able to go forward with the expansion or not... i have to do some refiguring since im changing things around a little.. so it might end up being cheaper... i've already got almost 600 off just going through this new guy my partner told me about... we are gonna get the floros for sure if we cant do it all... and thatll add another 88,000 lumens to the mix.. so it'll be a mini test run of the hydro system and almost the equivilant of the hps lighting i will have... still being optimistic tho...
i can see a ambering on a few of the girls without looking around... and almost all of them have ambering... im starting to wonder if a couple of the girls are even gonna yellow.. their leaves are dieing off, but they wont let them go.. they are all in the same pot except one.. there are 5 of 22 total are doing this... absolutely no yellowing yet.. pistils are starting to die.. and tho.. maybe they are just gonna take a little longer.. if i chop all but those ill prolly keep those going a little longer just to finish them out.. the fat bud with the crazy ass leaves coming out is an example of this...
part of the issue i think is the dry koolbloom.. its definatly fattened the buds WAY up.. and added anywhere from a 1/4" to 2" of additional vertical growth to all the buds, depending on how much light they got.. so i am absolutely in love with this stuff.. but the vertical growth is behind the rest of the bud as far as maturing goes.. one of the pics (dont know the order i am posting them in) you can see the difference in the top vertical growth since the koolbloom and the rest of the bud below it thats more ripe... its kinda werid.. but thats whats messing most with me when it comes to chopping them...
but the tops are catchin up quick.. so hopefully in the next 4 days they will finish out... otherwise, like i said, some will come down and ill have to leave a few up.. and if i end up doing this i will scrap the expantion for now and just wait to do it after next harvest for sure...
anyways.. got some pics for ya.. fucked with my camera and screwed up my real up close setting but didnt realize it till i was done.. but oh well.. its still good porn...
