First attempt at flowering

Stgeneziz said:

So being the idiot that I am, I haven't written any dates down and have 4 different plants flowering in staggered dates and now I don't now how far along each of the are. However I do have a rough estimate, the oldest has been flowering about 3.5 weeks and the other one about 2.5 weeks and below are pix of those 2 ( the 2 that have shown sex ). and yes I did say 2. I have my second ever indoor girl So i'm very excited, take a look!

No worries! The differences will be pretty distinct between development stages, (as I'm sure you are already aware)you almost don't really need start dates when you've got a dozen or less. A big room full though & I'd need some sort of tracking system for sure. So what are you doing for your next females?.... Cloning? Starts? Seeds?
If you have no females lined up you could revert one of the females to veg since you know she's a she now. Make her your mother and take cuttings for a year. I took a female a buddy gave me that was a few weeks into flower and I set it under 18 hour light and it came around in a month or so. It was my mother for the last 12 months. SWEET! Happy Gardening! GrowIT!

Check this out. I forgot to force this little gal to branch before I tossed her in the flower side. She became a bud on a stick! Looks like a lil' fat X-mass tree! HA!

Hey King, I'm thinkin the same thing. Once they start to fatten up i'll just go get a microscope at the Shack or sumthin and just watch the trichs. About the next go, I'v got quite a few other candidates ( check my sig for the journal ) waiting to be sexed. I have about 4 mature veggers, 3 week old seedlings, and 2 cuttings from the first girl ( dunno if they'll make it, I cut it late in to flowering ). I've been toying with lst on 1 of them so that's likely candidate. I also took a cutting from that lst plant and she looks great and all bent over. ( has 5 tops ) but nevertheless, this is all bagseed so it's more or less just practice. I'm placing an order soon for some real deal fem seeds, looking at G13 pineapple express and dinafem blue widow, comes with a couple freebies too!! So 2-3 weeks from now, my real grow journal will begin.... stay tuned!! and good luck with your grow!!

Hah!! thats great!! I think that's how my second girl will turn out!! I put her into flower at day 17 from seed.. check her out!! She has 0 branches but is the healthiest plant I've flowered and looks great! At least to me... I kinda regret it cuz I couldn't clone it, but I'll still enjoy the fruit!

Very nice so far, keep up the good work. You mind if i ask where you're ordering the seeds? I'm going to need a batch this winter.

attitude, good selection and I've been told ( by various RIU peeps ) that its US friendly. Hopefully..........

Ok so new pix!! the girl in my ebb n flow bucket is waaayyy out performing my dirt girl, and she's like 2 weeks younger!! ( i think.. ) You can see the nug on the top is much more pronounced, and fattening up much quicker!! It's prolly due to the fact that my dirt girl is totally rootbound.. Should I transfer her this far into bloom? I have a 3 gal pot I can put her in but I'm not sure if the stress would hurt her.. N-e-wayz, have a look-see

the first three are of my dirt girl, the next two of my e-n-o system(great!), and the whole box wide shots....

Hey Fantastic! You're gonna have some nice colas! Everybody looks pretty happy!
Regarding transplant...I wouldn't, it'll shock her for sure & that will set things back and might stunt growth over all. She can probably take it but it'l up set her. Just keep up the feeding and try not to over water too much. i.e. let the top of the root zone dry a bit. As we were talking before I think. The root crowding will self bonsai the plant but is much less stressful than a total 'up root' into a new container & mix. Plus the new mix will have too much nitrogen in it for her at this stage. Energy will go into green growth trying to get bigger. Leads to small buds again. Hope that helps...Happy gardening! GrowIT!

Definately helps!! It makes the most sense I agree... thanx a lot!!

Bad news, my outdoor girl got burnt to a crisp!! Theres just not hope for her, Here's a pic along with my latest addition........ My new grow tent!! making it much easier to control temps and light of course..

The tent is a great addition, nice to see the operation move forward. That one outside got fried real bad.. that sucks but the ebb buckets look great. Did you ever purchase them seeds? Everything go smooth? I bookmarked them after your suggestion but wanted to see how your order went first (mostly on how well they shipped into US).

thanx, it's made my life much easier.
Order went out yesterday (payday), and we will see..... I'll post pix as soon as I get them. Went with G13 white widow fem, dinafem blue widow, and a few freebies. I can't wait!!!!

when u get you a good female you should just clone it bud and from there just take clones from clones its really easy i recommend the olivias cloning gel.

thanx man, I've already cloned a bunch of my other plants that are in veg, I'm actually gonna be sexing them this week, we'll see.......

All is well I hope? I checked out Attitude, got a few seedsman white widow, they threw in DNA's LA Woman and G13 Labs' Thai Super Skunk for free which was cool. They have a lot of different shipping options for stealth which was also cool. I imagine shipping is 10 days or so, did you get your beans from them? It's only been 3 days or so for me. Also, what do you know about using 'root stimulator' in combination with root hormone powder? The stimulator contains the same ingredient as the hormone and is mixed with water at 3tbls per gal so its more like a watering additive.

hey, sorry I haven't updated. Bobbin, the seeds came in no problem.. it only took 5 business days for me!! Great Service!!!! here are some pix of them, Ill update you guys on the girls later. =)

BTW, I only use root hormone for cloning. Just straight phd water for my new seedlings.

ok so I have a bunch of plants in the flowering tent now, lets hope for the best with the lighting i have. It's already starting to look crowded.!!

hey everyone, i'm lazy and will be posting all of my grow together!!! Double the fun right!? so any wayz, check the RD 2 link in my sig!!

COME ON OVER!!

Nice Work Mate
