wow i must have been high when i did the math. its actaully day 15 haha

the sativa looking one (in the first and third pic) had huge pre-flowers before she ever saw 12/12. 2 days after switching she quickly went into action! also being in the lead for bud size so far.

The other 2 also had pre flowers but werent as big and didnt kick into bud quite so fast like the sativa did.

the way things are looking i think i may actually get a good yield. im surprised how fast these buds are forming. its a noticeable difference every time i go up there. which is very satisfying considering my efforts that went into this mess.

did i mention i finally got the ph in my soil back on track? turns out i just had a salt build up a while back. hit it with a good flush now everything is just how it should be.

btw, 4 of my clones are finally showing roots! so ill have a mother plant and 3 extras pretty soon. . . cool with me

When ever you veg for a long period of time, some plants will show pre flowers. it happens some times and a lot of times it doesnt. luckily all 3 of these had pre flowers

These seeds are from bag see i collected over the course of a couple months. i do not know the strain names. but i do know who i was getting my smoke from at the time, and i know it had to be of great quality.

I dont buy and smoke unless its the real good stuff. kinda bit of a weed snob to be honest. so yes, this pot is of high quality

i forgot to document when they were actually germinated. but roughly 2 1/2 months. the first month i didnt have a very good set up and i did a few things wrong.

i plan to have much better veg results in the future. i cant wait to see how this compost tea does

i have been doing a lot of reading about compost tea and it really seems like a huge game changer. ill be making my own vortex brewer soon, you should google it.

i think these compost teas will really help me score some veteran weight yields

Hey Fogo, I built a 4'x4' sealed room with CO2, a small window AC, dehu, fans, and a Sentinel control-all and it worked perfectly --- on paper. When I built it and got it rolling the combo of the AC and dehu wreaked havoc on my plants, I think the temp and humidity swings were just too severe because of the small volume of space. The leaves on the plants looked dried out and the plants suffered but they still produced a decent amount of bud. Ever since then I have just been running the 'box' as I call it on constant ventilation so I lose whatever benefit from CO2 but the plants are completely happy and lush but of course yield is down. I suspect that you may face some of the same challenges. Your bagseed is sure looking nice, well done!

I also built a vortex compost tea brewer from 1.5" PVC and a 5 gallon water jug from a dispenser, it is run by an air pump and it kicks ass, I highly recommend it mainly just 'cause it's so damn cool to play with. Toughest part was making the base tee into a five way cross, like this site shows: http://www.subtleenergies.com/ormus/tw/turbo-vortex.htm
I like how this guy did it but if you are making one of these I have a couple of suggestions otherwise good luck man.

I would suggest throwing a faceplate on that outlet, and removing the duct tape and finding a better way to secure it. After reading through a little of the thread I noticed you have no regard for safety and even make fun of others for pointing out obvious flaws that could result in a burned down house. Also keep in mind that the insurance company will not cover the cost of damages should a fire occur when the cause is a marijuana grow with poor wiring not up to code, and if a firefighter dies putting out the fire you will be charged with murder.

But what do I know, I'm only an electrician.

was that whole spill all about my duck tape around the outlet? you just tried to tell me i would be charged with homicide because of it (you are not reasonable). . .

*whenever i give advice to someone one this website, im always kind about what i say to others about their work. I have noticed the people who are rude as hell, are the same people who dont have grows of their own. if they did they would understandingly be more respectful
