What's happenin captain?!
Im still growing:)
Everything I got going now is 12/12 from seed. I got a couple 3-4 day old seedlings, and another that just showed pistils.
They wont be huge plants so I will have room for more.
I took out my cfl's and replaced with a 250 watt hps. I was using 265 watts in cfl's...my HPS light, and ballast combined use 265 watts with less heat.
Once I get a bigger more private place I will sell my tent and light for something bigger, but right now I am happy.
I'll will veg with cfl's, but I still haven't ordered any seeds. lol I have a 13 year old daughter, and she cleans me out sometimes. haha
By the end of the month I will have some good genetics. C99 for sure, and a good indica.

The bigger plant is 67 days since first pistil, and up till a few days ago it was grown with cfl's. She's a sensitive thing.
I see some amber, on a couple sugar leaves, but not on the bud. I may start flushing water, and molasses tomorrow.

You threaten her with the electric shock treatment if she doesn't behave?

It's a porky little plant, and it's starting to foxtail.

I see a sea of green in the near future?! :joint:
Is 12/12 gonna be your niche??
I might get a little sea of green happening. There was a chart I looked at in bmeats journal to sex the seeds.
He may have deleted his journal because I can't find it to show the pic.
I will be vegging the seeds I buy. I just didn't want to veg for a month, and get a male.

i'm so stoned it took like ten minutes to type this up. haha
Pure thc, right out of my vapes whip. That little piece of hash got me wrecked. I hot knifed it :eyesmoke:

His bigger plant was damn near ALL BUD too man!
p0c, what exactly are you doing?
You got any c02?
Would you say it's just the light placement?
And what kinda medium are you working with and how are you feeding and all that?
And you said your ops at a different location right?! So you don't get time to bud tend like you wanna, but you still cranking out babes over there?!
Any secrets you need to share man? lol

Thanks for the compliments! :joint:
No C02, but it is somethiing I want to add.
I'm just pretty basic, I figure the guy who grew the weed my seeds came from must have shopped around for decent yielders. lol
I'm just using a peat based soiless mix, with Advanced Nutrients Micro, grow, and bloom PH perfect nutes. I also add carboload, and big bud. The light placement definitely helped but at the start she didnt get much light while she was stretching because she shared the light with my last plant.
My grow is here, but my work, and light schedule don't agree anymore. Lights are on during the day, but I will eventually change to lights on at night.
I'm going to transplant my seedlings to coco, and try that.
