cheers man, well i had a look at them today and took a photo of all of them....im going ot try and date how old they are, the bottom left plant is 11 days old and is the biggest and oldest...the top right plant is the second oldest at 10 days.....the top left pot contains the taller plant which is about 9 days....the uber tiny one is the youngest at 7 days

the bottom right pot contains one plant thats 10 days (the one splinted up) and the other at 7 days.....the dates are so staggered but it doesnt really matter... 100 percent success with germination, now these little suckers are gonna gain some mass! :leaf:

yeah theyre all pretty close in age. in the top left one it looks like one stretched a bit and then the other one is really short! funny.. 1 of the 10 i just started flowering is AK - all the other 9 are doing a fair amount of stretching, but this one AK is still very short, but aging just as fast as the others. runts. they should both make some nice big long buds since the nodes are all so crowded :weed:

anyway, still lookin good. how long are planning on vegging them for?

my strain im growing is autoflowering so i should know the sex within the next few days.....you ever tried autoflowering strains? last grow i did ended up in semi failure...it was due to my flatmate screwing round with the timer while i was on holiday and as i had my plant flowering for the last 3 weeks of itsw life the guy switched it to 24 hr light cycle....

i guess these autoflowering types will need less constant looking after, who knows until they strat growing mental :P

nice little bag a smokie...lol....i finally got my cabinet rollin with stable temps...you have average 9 days ahead of me...yours are looking really nice! it'll be kool to compare mine to your grow. id like to see how differently they grow in my waterfarms and your soil. i definitly think you'll have the better taste. oh, i was 100% germ on my 4 ak...they must be pretty stable, did u get yours from 'tude? do you plan on doing any supercropping? id like to do mine that way but i dont know if it would stress them too much since they are autos. i also was 100% on my stinky widows, gigabud, widow grape and chemo cindy...should be fun!....puff,puff>>>>>>>>>>>>:joint:

hey ched how are your plants doing?

i was wondering if you used any LST, fimming or topping on your babies

and if you are planning on taking off some of the bottom fanleaves and veg growth to promote more top flowering

hand in there man!

the growth from my plants over the third week is astonishing, im sure yours will follow suit.

i am amazaed how fast the hairs are growing as well,

by upping my wattage im hoping to maxamize my yields, the heat increase is minimal.

with my hps i was keeping the light about 4" from the tops.

ill keep you frequently updated every 3 days or so you can see what you should be expecting

it's almost 4:20 :)

well i found out that the pot with the female in it had a male next to i...gave him the chop earlier on and he went out in a blaze of glory...or not, damn males, i think there maybe a chance of only 2 females :(

and if you the the room i would stop seeding multiple plants per pot

if they were both females they would be tngled and near impossibke to seperate wihtout severe root damages.

if they were both females their yields would be minimal from lack of rootspace unless u put them in a ginormous pot

cheers man! seeds would be much appreciated 8), yeah i was thinking if the remaining 2 are both female i will wang them in a 10 lire pot, what do you think? the lowlife guide says 5 litres is optimal for one plant....:joint:

my suckers are currently in 3 gallon bags with like 2.5 gallons of soil in em.

i had read that sometimes there are freakishly tall plants (and i have one) so i wanted to ensure maximum rooting space as it translates well to production yields.

after this grow i will see how much the larger plant took up of rooting zone and use that size container on the next grow

oh yeah sorry man i missed answering your question.....welll i got those 2 that are in one pot which im doing a sort of LST to make sure they keep out of each others light.....
the bottom of the stems are about 2 inches apart, i got 2 bits of chopstick and pushed it into the ground next to the stem and bent over the 2 plants to grow away from each other......made a decision today that i gotta get a new pot for them both very soon, the roots are poking out the bottom of the pot already....these things grow like shit off a stick!
