Not true. A leaf is dead when it is brown, dried and shriveled. He could of left them on still for the plant to suck the remaining food out from them but, I guess he know's nothing about growing/plants
okay jorge cervantes, fuck sorry man!

Updated pictures of the prior page if anyone is looking for em.

My plant is doing a lot better, Haven't fed it any nutes for a couple of weeks. Just plane ol water.
I figure one more week of veg and then it's time for flower :)
Today is the 70th day of this plants life since sprout (lolololol)










Already decided that I'm going to lollipop opposed to LST this time.

hey chib, for a first time grow ur doing well m8, you have come up against problems and found solutions, just think going forward all the lessons you have learned which will truly benefit you. I agree with bb61, we come on this site for reassurance and to show our grows, I don't like it when ppl act all high n mighty, yes there are ppl who are more experienced and they should act accordingly. keep smiling m8 and good luck :-)

Hey man, Thanks a lot for that.

I've been doing my best to keep it alive, I'm still honestly amazed it's still with me.

That's the beauty of a first grow, You make a lot of mistake but you if you can overcome them then you know what to expect in the future.

I've been extremely lucky though with certain things.

For instance when I first made my double stacked cab the first one when it wasn't completely finished, I had the light fixture fall over the period of the night right beside my plant.
So close to just completely murdering it as it was so small at 2 weeks...


Also, My temperatures were at like 100-105 degrees for a week. I can't believe it survived!

Transplanted her at 5 days old into miracle grow moisture control, poor thing barely had roots established and I fucked up in the original placing so I had to do it TWICE. :roll:

Oh yeh, also had a fucking fungus gnat problem shortly after.



My original double stack design was so flawed, I can't even believe i thought that it was going to work the way I had it at the start.
Couldn't even adjust the lighting...


to
which can I can easily lower the lights by pulling the cord towards me or away.
The fishing rod has a grip on the handle so the cord never slips or falls.




Even with the way I have it now it's still a bitch to get the plant out, but nowhere near as retarded as it was before, lol.

In my mind it looks pretty decent now a days, I know the bottom could use some reflector but that's to come still.

I will be using this same box for my next grow but with two plants opposed to just one.

Also have been thinking a lot about making a veg box out of something...

Does anyone think it will be worth having four 23 watt cfls soft white + a 42 watt 6500k in the mix?

Will bring me to around 140 watts. Would just be really fucking clunky to fit the 42 somewhere ...

hey chib, just go with what fits in the box, you will still get amazing results, in my pc grow I used 4 x 23w warm lights, they worked fine. good luck and happy growing :-)

So she adjusted well to the 12/12 switch, stretched like a mother fucker.






I may not have enough room if it 3x's in size... Does anyone think I'll be able to flower in this cab?






If not enough room, Would anyone suggest supercropping?

Thanks enman, I'm leaning towards super cropping because I'm not a fan of lst as it makes my plants leafs all fuckered.
if someone can convince me otherwise I may just do it again.

I don't know enough about super cropping to say either do it or not. You may have to go with what you feel. I would go with LST and scrog... Well I actually did lol

So I added another light socket :)

Day 3 of 12/12
unfortunetly yesterday I somehow managed to chop off the main stem while removing it from my setup... It was where I topped and lost my main Y shaped top :(
lesson learned, BE CAREFUL!







I must add, It smells so damn good !

That sucks, but on a good note, your plant looks like its bounced back really nice from earlier.

This plant of mine still refuses to show me sex...

Still suffering from a bit of of a over watering issue so I think that may be holding it back a bit.

Any thoughts if it's male or female? It looks like a male but the 'balls' keep forming into leafs... Confusing the hell out of me. I'm like in day 15 of 12/12














I know that little bump looks like a ballsack, but they keep turning into more leafs!

Here's some as a whole







Also started a little something new to tide me over, I'm getting a little sick playing waiting games with this stupid thing.

Decided to try to pop a couple seeds I was saving and one has already.
