I will try to keep taking pictures and details every day, actually I take a lot more pics everyday, but I dont want to make it that big so people dont get bored haha, but I do take closed up pics of every plant and keep records of height, pics, and ph/ppm etc :mrgreen:

March 22 - Day 7:

Today the temp were a little high, but I manage to keep it always under 29C/84F thanks to the fans :mrgreen:



As you can see leaves are getting bigger :mrgreen: and also the roots..



so roots are getting bigger also but my bigger rockwool cubes haven't arrived yet :-? and also none of the materials for the new hydro system (pumps, hydroton, etc)

so I decided to move at least 6 of the cubes to the little hydro kit that I got (in the mean time that I get the bigger cubes and build the veg room)



I tried to chose the best 6 plants for the hydro kit :mrgreen:

the other 3 1/2 plants (one of them can't event count as a plant lol) are 2 big buds and 1 of the unknown seed (wich seems to have a kind of purple stem, if that gives an idea for any of you to know what strains could it be)

---

which is the max height that I should be looking for in this plant (in flowering)???

*I'm planing to have 4 plants in a 3x3ft area on the flow room, and some mothers and clones on a 4x3ft are for the veg room.
With the design that I have my max height could be 28" inches
(thats considering already the space that I have to leave for the light, and the reservoir and all that stuff)

March 23 - Day 8:

today everything is as usual, except for the temps :-? around mid day the temps went to 33C/91.4F even with all the fans at max (I really need the new fans haha)

the 6 plants that I moved to the mini hydro kit are going great



I also noticed that some of my plants already have lots hairs :mrgreen:

March 24 - Day 9:

*yesterday I didnt had time to update the journal but here are the photos from yesterday :blsmoke:



the only thing weird is that the area of the rockwool cube that gets the water is getting kind of red (like the hydroton) :-|
maybe because the hydroton is new.. or i dont know... anyway I will change the water tomorrow, just in case its something weird..

March 31 - Day 16:

this was the worst day that I had with my babies :-(
first the temps that day were really high, around 30C/86F, the night before the incident happened I decided to change the extension cord for the pump (but I never tried or check if it work, after all when have u see that an extension power cord dosent work :cuss:)

the point is that my plants didnt got any water for around 12 hours or more, before I realize they were dying)



none of the plants died, but most of them remain with some burned spots on the leafs, no big deal

April 1 - Day 17:

24 hours after they traumatic experience... lol :mrgreen: all the plants survive, just some burned spots or leafs that remain there but they will make it





so you know...
high temps + defective power cord/pump = dead plants
hahaha

April 2 - Day 18:






April 3-4 / Day 19-20:
sorry I didn't had any pics of the grow on these days

temps were normal again round 27C/80F

April 5 - Day 21:

It's incredible how much my babies have grow in just a couple of days.. :mrgreen:




as you see they begin to get crowded in that kit, but that was a "temporary" solution (the problem is the word temporary lol, because today is april 19 and they still on that kit haha, I had some problems with the budget for the project and it took me a lot.. more time to get some materials that I was waiting for).

*I'm gonna skip some days on the journal (too many photos and days that I need to do... :mrgreen:)

April 9 - Day 25:

these past days the temp have been 25-27C / 77-80F and Its has begin to rain around mid day so humidity usually goes up to 60-70% when and after raining then goes back to 40% or more.

they are getting really crowed I know, but my second Grow would be the one that would enjoy to be from the begging on a lager place



a pic of the roots...

a little preview of how was the construction of the grow room at that moment..



the 4x3 veg on the right and the flowering 3x3 on the left

*I suck at putting the mylar... lol :mrgreen:
I was until the end that I realize how to put it on the right way, but I will replace it latter to avoid any hot spots

April 11 - Day 27:




April 14 - Day 30:
my DIY drip system wasn't ready, but I still decided to move the plants and the light to the grow room just to use the mylar

*before that I was trying to build some kind of DIY grow tray (not recommended lol), using wood and plastic :? and well it didnt worked for me, so I'm going for my 2nd option (more expensive) getting an acrylic sheet to build the grow tray. (I took me like a week to get one :evil:)

April 19 - Day 35:

The big surprise!!! :mrgreen:

yesterday I decided to take a look around on the forum and research more about the pre-flower info...
and today I realize that 3 of my plants are showing what sex they are... :-P

From the 6 plants on the hydrokit:
- 2 confirmed females :hump:
- 1 male
- 3 still unknown

my 2 possible female plants are showing this...
:weed:



and The male....


that was the first and only pollen sack that I found, the other ones are really.... really small, but well its enough to tell me its a male..

that male and the others (if they are more) will become some brownies or something on the next days... haha bongsmilie
