LED+CFL Closet Coco grow

[SativaGrows]

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to growing. I had a grow previously but unfortunately had to chop them shortly after starting flowering due to unfortunate circumstances. It's been roughly a year and a half but I got my grow going again. I started out with a bag seed I had from a while ago the bud it came from was amazing, supposedly permafrost but not sure. Anyways my set up:

Prosource 180W Jumbo UFO
C.A.P 200W CFL blue
2x C.A.P. 200W red (to be used during flowering)
GH CocoTek
Sensi nutrients
Hygrozyme

I put the seed in potting soil on 10-8-2012 after germinating in a paper towel
Transplanted to the Coco on 10-31-2012

Here she is as of today, I'm a little worried she is kind of small for her age, what do ya'll think?

Also this is a legal medical grow so I would like to have 12 plants if possible, I was hoping to cut 11 clones once she is big enough to have a total of 12 but I'm not sure this would work out ok. Advice would be appreciated as I would like to maximize my yield but I believe that may be hard to do with one plant.

Oh, and here is the bud the seed is from:

Hey she looks stacked. Not small to me.
Good job man.

nice plant

She's a beautiful plant! Good luck with her!

 

[SativaGrows]

Thanks guys, hoping everything goes well. As far as maximizing yield what would you suggest? I can have 12 plants would it be best to take a few clones and start those or just try to maximize my yield with the one plant?

 

[bleuballz]

Well, In my opinion you should too her, and wait a while,
cut a few clones. Maybe 6 or 7, and keep a clone for the
mom, and flower the rest. That's what I would probably do.
The bud looks good. For sure keep a mom if you can.

Can I ask how you know that this bagseed plant is female?/I would not start taking clones from a male...........have you sexed it already(12/12)? showing preflowers???

 

[SativaGrows]

I actually do not know it is a female yet, just thinking positively.

Bleuballz what do you mean by "In my opinion you should too her, and wait a while" I believe you may have meant top but I just want to make sure, I am only a little familiar with the process.

I wasn't planning on cutting any clones until she shows sex

I don't believe I can keep a mother as I only have 1 big closet I'm working in I don't have a separate room.

 

[SativaGrows]

Took a few pics under just the CFL to show color. Are the purple stems ok? I believe I was reading it is a deficiency of sorts.

 

[SativaGrows]

All the new growth is appearing very light green, I posted in the plant problems forum but I wanted to add it to my grow journal as well. I think it is a deficiency but I'm not sure what kind. Any ideas?

A few more pics of my set up:

I have 3 of the CFLs total 1 blue and 2 red I don't have the red ones on right now but will remove the blue and add the reds for flowering:

So she seemed to recover from the cold quickly and is doing great now that I have my environment under control. Hoping for preflowers soon.

I've decided since this is my first grow and I'd like to use this as a learning experience I'm going to grow one large bushy plant and see how it goes.

The only real damage from the cold, note the yellowing on the leaf:

that thing isnt stretching at all.. gotta be a female?.. subbed looking good. the nug that the seed came from looked very nice. does it have a name?

 

[SativaGrows]

It was from a strain supposedly called permafrost. Since having that nug pictured, I've had Permafrost from a local dispensary in the same area and it looked very similar to the nug pictured there. So it may or may not be a real permafrost seed but regardless the bag this came from was some fire! I have more pics of that pick up if anyone is interested to see. I guess it gives me a quality benchmark to strive for Can not stretching cause problems at all?

 

[Nogreenrage]

It looks great to me. Sometimes LED lights just yellow the plant. I have the same problem with all Indicas.

 

[SativaGrows]

This plant is becoming a monster bush, when should I expect to see preflowers? Will they show in veg or not until I switch to flower?

 

[Chronikool]

That is one healthy plant! The pre-flowers should show in veg. How old is it? 5 weeks?

 

[SativaGrows]

5 weeks and a few days, I put the germed seed in potting soil on 10/8/2012

 

[Chronikool]

Well, when you do go looking...dont get lost in the jungle...

2 weeks then flip to 12/12 IMO.
Good luck.
