day 27 growing very nicely and can see the 3 colas growing in pics 1 and 2.
the rest show the growth out of each cola.
with some bottom growth popping through the canopy.
it is about 16 inches wide and 7 inches tall.
each cola has between 6-7sets of alternating nodes.

haha not of anything you are interested in.... well maybe you are.
gotta sorta laugh a little had 2 t-12's given to me from my dad bought t-8 for his cellar.
so i took the 3 4100k bulbs with one 2700k bulb and said what the hell.
for everyone saying 4100k will not veg plants i disagree 100% i do not think this is bad stretch at all for tomato's.
just keeping everything as close as i can. have 5 peppers 5 tomato's 3 basil 3 parsley, 2 broccoli, and 3 lupine flowers and 2 pots of wildflowers.
flowers and some others will be mother's day presents.not sprouted popped in 3 days ago. run on a timer for 14 hours of light a day.
have some cfl's to supplement where need be. going to lst my tomatoes this weekend in 3 gallon pots.

LOL.
That's a legitimate veggie grow, not 'cause you're trying to hide your weed.

been growing plants and farming for the last 15-20 years and bought my first house soo..
only makes sense to provide for myself in all different was.
have lots of knowledge about growing now and can make a true guerrilla grow happen this year and hopefully will only have to grow a few during the winter for fun not because i need to..

day 29
first 4 pics show the canopy. all the small leaves pushing out are bottom branches looking for light.
the 6th pic show one of the smaller branches it has 5 alternating nodes and can see branches are staggering a bit.
the one fan leaf is the first with double digit leaves has 10. all new growth from that cola has 11 fingers.
next few show main stalk and main colas growing. the main stalk is about as big as my pointer finger. 3 main colas not 4. one main cola one with funky leaf split into 2 tops that is why one spot looks like a bunch of tops. this main cola has 3 leaves around it per node instead of 2 which def slows growth on that node a bit.
can see the very first set of leaves last pic starting to brown was to far down in my 3 gallon bucket not getting light.
soil about 2.5 inches from top way to much needed to be aroun 1 inch or less. i filled this bucket to the top knowing it will settle an inch or so.

haha yeah i was asked for pictures yesterday i produced today.
just set up my flowering lights have 7 23w 5000k = 11,200 lumens 6 27k and 6 18w 27k = 15960 lumens for a total of 27,160 lumens.
which equals 6790 lumens/sqft. have room for atleast 6-10 more bulbs if i can keep temps in check.
8 bulbs will put me right at 10,000 lumens/sqft for flower.
added another fan for exhaust. which is 3 exhaust 120mm pc fans now have to get stuff to make a second carbon filter.

was not gonna add pics but here it is.
the 4 lights in the corners can go up and down independently or with the whole light.
i can run single bulbs or y adapters. also can move them around the outside wherever i wish.
as for the fans the 2 together push into a carbon scrubber. the one by itself is the new one with just carbon over it.
smell is not a big deal as i have my own house but would like to keep it hidden if at all possible.
if nothing is used i can smell my plant 40 feet away threw 3 rooms.
the way it is a faint smell in the room my box is in just have to get my carbon scrubbers down to a science.
with addition of about 150w and a new fan my temps are the exact same. just need a fan to blow up from floor.

thank you on the plant not that i have done much watered 5-6 times, lots of light, fresh air.
i know the ffof is expensive but worth every penny in my opinion.
mother nature is doing its biz.
i wish i could just grow some cfl's on a farm would be much cheaper.
also have preflowers forming i believe look to be pointed and not round lets hope to see pistils soon.
