Hi everybody.
This is pic's of one of my kids. She is 19 days and I am going to 12/12 tonight. I would love suggestions on what to feed them and any other help. I really want to stay organic if possible. I have been told urine and also big bloom. I do not think I want to pee on her. So please sound off and let me know what you think. This is my first grow. I want to thank everybody for their help getting me this far:peace:

just my 2 cents but i think that you should let it veg for a few more weeks if possable...

even though I am using clf's? I have a book from seemorebuds and he says do not let veg more than 2 weeks because of the clf's they have a limited light penetration. I am ok with letting it veg longer. I want the best yeild. So Please let me know what you think. now that you know I am using clf's. It is my first grow so I do not know shit. I am just going with the flow. Thanks for your help :peace:

no, unless for some reason you can only get CFL's on top of the plant. But their are many ways to get side lighting with CFL's...

Nope I can keep vegging. I can put spilters on or whatever I need. I am just going by the book I got from seemorebuds. He put his plants into veg at 16 days. I was following what he said in the book. I was worried that my lights would not be good enough to get through flowering.

you could however flower now just untill it shows sex then go back to vegatative growth to elimintate your males before the final flowering.

omg you can do that? I did not know that. So I would switch to 12/12 until they show sex and then go back to 18/6 and it would not kill them? How long would I veg them after that? Thanks for your help:peace:

dude that right there will STRESS the plants. dont revert back to veg! take cuts root them then flower the cuts. they will show sex. you can save yourself accidental pollination. also that stress can herme out certain strains, then you could pollinate your whole crop! :spew:

im hoping that the bending at the top node made those lower branches nice and bushy hopefully pushing some nice bud giving branches up towards the light

This is a bad idea. Even if your a pro (which im not). Success on getting your plant to go back to veg is limited. Also the hormone levels get fucked and the plant is likely to mutate, and never preform to its full potential. Becoming a hermie would be best possible outcome on that road.

Just veg, then switch to 12/12. And roll with it from there.

Regular cooking mollasses. From the grocery store. One to two tablespoons per gallon. couple times a week. You can start a few weeks into flowering. And stop a few weeks before finishing.

Thanks I was just wondering about that. I am not going to go back to veg. I really want the bud. Thanks for all your help. :peace:

finish them out....molasses is supposed to make the buds bulk up just a bit more like carbo-load would.
I mix it 1 spoon full to the gallon of warm water but others use 2 spoons full, I dont suppose it really matters, Ive noticed that it makes the soil smell a little odd though.
dont forget to flush it out in the last 2 weeks of flowering with only pure water. No nutes, no molasses, nothing but ph'ed water

and can we get a group photo of them all?
i wanna track how well yo are doing with your growing skills.;)

that plant looks to be an indica so its already going to get 1/2-2/3 bigger than it already is as soon as she decides to flower it....
she is using cfl's as well, and has multiple plants going.
Know how many cfls thats already gonna take? Why add the hassle of needing more lights for bigger plants?

ever heard of K.I.S.S? (keep it simple stupid)

Well here is the update. Today is day 14 of flowering. I have 3 girls. I started out with 9 plants. So only 1/3 were girls. I am growing skunk. I had 2 white widows but both were bastards. I think I am going to go with feminized seeds next time. It sucked to have 6 turn out to be male. But I am glad I did do 9 because I have learned a lot from the experience. :peace:
