Alright well I figued I may as well demonstrate how poorly you can treat your plants and still wind up wth healthy ladies.
These two plants have had a very hard life; they've been transplanted more times than I can count.
They were planted as seeds in an AG where they spent their first 4 weeks. They were grown with AG nutes for the first 4 weeks, and during that time did a 7hr return trip drive (dry) while I took holidays. This whole time tempertures ranged from just 0degC to 25degC, an they had plenty of interupted sleep. They were topped and LSTd at about week 3.
When I started flowering I bought some proper nutes and air stones. Then 2 weeks later they were transplanted into a 35L tub and put into 3" netpots. They were originally transplanted into perlite, however as the roots were developed they of course wouldntbind up in the perlite, so the plants had a lot of stability issues. Flushing the res was a real ordeal on them as the perlite collapsed and spilt and the fell down through the holes that had to be cut in the net pots.
They've been grown in an open room for a month now, hard to keep total darkness, hard to control temps and humidity. The lights are a bodgey job too and I came home to some very singed leaves a time or two.
I don't like them being in the open however, so I bought a cheap second hand wardrobe. Continuing down the ghetto route I stuck some alfoil up with double sided tape, and used a chair to secure my lights and raise air pump. The lights are desk lamps, running 3x48W 3000k CFLs in total. No high temp lights as theyre being used on clones right now.
So yeah, the two buggers flowered beautiful pistils and have been going strong (if slow) ever since. Not epecting more than an oz or two but its just to save some $$ while I'm sorting out my living arangements, getting a good light fitting made, an planning a proper perpetual closet grow. These two are bag seed which I hae clond in hope that its some good smoke. If not then I'll go shopping... I'm thinking of trying to squish sativas into a 2mx1.5mx1m space, with the shortest flower time possible.
Sitting out in the cold
Little stretched sadly
Not so stealthy lol
Stealth mode! (Excuse the aerogarden box and the pvc piping)
A little droppy from another stressful experience. Had to pull them out to get the tub in easily.
Trichs forming!!
It's fun to be growing again, and looking forward to a more planned and detailed op to get myself weedependant!
