Experimental Micro Grow CFL's - 1st time grower

Right so straight to business...

I pulled my first male out a few days ago. Yesterday I pulled out a second male and found a female :)
I've since removed my LST strings to allow what's left to stretch and grow as they need to.

These pics were taken a few days ago with a male included. Male pics will come in a bit ;)

These next pics were taken yesterday. They include the 3 that are left and presumed all female.
Little Lady, Stumpy and Little Scraggler.

I'm gonna try and keep to my Monday update schedule but as you all know it's not always that easy. I'll still make sure you get at least one update a week :)

Concerns;
Temps - as usual. Hoping my new cab is going to help with this. My lights off are currently far too low at 13C and lights on are 28C-ish.
I've just bought some Plant Magic bloom juice and will be swapping to this immediately. Apparently the Bio Bizz requires all three types to function correctly, whereas the Plant Magic Bloom is adequate on it's own. And it's cheaper ;)

IT'S A FEMALE!!
Pics are in no particular order, just happy to see some pubes coming through! I'm excited to get out there tonight to see if there are any more :)

MALE ALERT!!
This is the second male I've pulled out. Out of 5 bag seeds, I was hoping for between 1 and 3 fems so with just one fem I'm actually happy. But of course will be happier if all three left are fems :)

You can see here just how happy I was to cut this little fuker down.
Check this out... All my hard LST work produced 15 very tall tops on this plant so I wanted my monies worth hahaha!

I hope you enjoyed this update! Will be back with more soon! :) :leaf: :bigjoint:

looking really nice though mate ... even details like using foil tape at the bottom so you get no unsightly lines when you mylar it ;-) .... yeah bruv i'm keeping an eye on you!

Agreed it's all about making it work with the tools you have. One step at a time eh lol
And yeah mate, that aluminium tape is the dogs bollocks! Trust!

F***ing AVE IT!
 
you have inspired me a little .... its thursday and should be my update ... but i did a little one earlier this week .... so i might venture out and see if my ladies fancy a lil photo shoot.... back in a bit :-)
 
really nice looking plants though mate .... not stringy and quite full and bushy

shame about the males.... but you knew they was regular seeds and at least you've struck lucky with at least one :-)
 
Oh forgot to mention that I've pruned back the final three (final three sounds like they're on the X-Factor or summin LoL). They're a bit skinny now and they may be stunted for a few days, but I think it was worth it.
 
I just picked up some Exodus Cheese clones :) Mature and ready to flower once rooted.

Think I'm gonna have to start a new thread lol AND hurry my ass up and get both my cabs working LoL
Anyone know the benefits of a journal over a normal thread?

I think they'll be okay for a couple of days in my kitchen under the strip light, while I get my ass into gear. Mrs will just have to lump it lol
 
Geez today has been a big day for pictures. Lots done and lots to do!

Okay, pics...

I've sealed up the base and you can just about see in the pics the intake, bottom left front, through the inside the cab bottom right back. You can also make out the exhaust vent top left front.
It took bloody ages to cut the upper parts to size and get them attached properly, but that's working good now and the doors fit snugly.
The only issue really, is the gaps at the side of the doors but I have idea's for that ;)
I've placed the pots in kind of how I want them, two deep and four across (currently only two across as I only bought four pots today). So there's space for eight pots altogether.
I expect I'll use less than the eight at first, but preparing for it gives me space to have more if I want to later on.

What I need now;
A hose pipe to join the cabs vents together, a fan speed controller for the lower exhaust fan and a pair of tights to cover my open vents.
Then it's just a case of making it pretty and getting the light in! Woo!

My new clones need a few weeks of veg before they can go in, and there'll be space in the veg lab once I move these baggy haze's into their new home.
The Mrs has okayed them to sit in the kitchen for a day...

More cab pics tomorrow I'm guessing ;)

You should have seen them before I pruned them a few days ago, they were bushy as fook! I cut loads off.
 
I've started a new thread for my Cheese Clones :)

If you want to keep up to date with their goings on, get subscribed!

Not sure if I've mentioned also (there's been a fair few updates since yesterday), I've changed my nutrient feed to Plant Magic's Old Timer bloom juice. It came highly recommended from my local hydro shop.
Smells better than the Bio Bizz and cheaper too LoL
 
I think I've gone plant happy! I've just planted two more seeds :shock:

1x Regular Big Bud #1
1x Heavyweight Fruit Punch

:lol:

I'm now wondering if I can be arsed starting another new thread lol
