They are lookin good man. Id say your good to start flowering.. However, it will take more than a month probably at least two. As for the cold.. well.. a heat mat or water heater work well. maybe a space heater near your intake?? some rigid insulation under the res might keep it a little warmer too. If your exhaust fan was hooked up with your light timer it might stay warmer too. No need to vent if its cold.

good to know I have a passive air in take I do have a stealth heater in the the res set at 69. So I know the water won't get too cold. Thats what I thought about 2 months I should of went 12/12 from the start. Oh well I'm sure the wife will let me have 2 more plants.

Ahhh.. its a numbers game with the wife..LOL My Fiance gives a shit as long as i stay under 24 (this is the # where mandatory minimums start). I built up my setup over the past year and a half. I have probably laid out about 1600+ dollars on equipment etc.. I have also not had to buy any for a long time (that time is over till about 2 months from now...LOL.. I hate buying). I have made at least 4 grand worth (if I were buying it) from an under 2000$ total investment.. and now its getting where I don't need to put very much out... so any you put in.. comes back out in the long run.

I agree Im in for about 3 hundred with this grow. next grow will be much more. The tent,seeds,buckets, also buying a 1000watt 12v to 120v inverter.fuck paying the electric company all that dough. Thats why I am going with the auto flowers I can grow a full plant and still veg my g13 and have enough to smoke while g13 is flowering. In the end meand my buddy phishhead will be all set. we are paying 480 an oz of white russian. and 160an oz for mid grade bud. any weed that we produce is the shit. we are both broke as hell. Im not smoking now so it helps in someway. but, sucks in others.

Day 31&30:
Well 24 hr hour dakness is over. Opend up the cap and they were starving for light. Turned the lights on cause I had the wrong thing in the timer. started to look carefully at them and then bam one nod under the new cola white hairs poping out on each plant. I am so happy. This is fucking awesome. First real grow and slam 2 fems I could not believe that they showed me sex this early.
So took them out added 1/2tsp of maxi grow and added 1/2tsp of maxi bloom and balenced ph put a splash of h202 in the res and back in they went to veg. for the night. Man I got my laptop fixed today Found out I have 2 girls I love days like this.
oh almost forgot. Seeds came in from Dope-seeds.com Very kool very stealthy. 10 g13x haze, 10 snowryder, 10 auto white russian and a complimentary 10 seeds thia x skunk. Buckets should be here on monday. looks like I am gonna have to order my tent and light before I get that money I was waiting for.
I tried to take a pic but the hairs ar real small I will take some pics of them when they are more out there. Man 4 months left and I get to taste these tasty nugs.

I must confess... when I am out I never wait.. I would rather smoke a little green shit than keep paying for it..LOL Then I let the majority cure of course..
I think you could get away with 12 weeks.. 8/9 to flower one to dry and 2-3 to cure is plenty IMO. It does get better with time but by that time you will already be on a cycle and wont be worrying about it..LOL Congrats on the girls.. thats great luck!koolhand77

Day 35&36 6th day of flower
Left the plants to do there thing I do have some slime built up on the roots of the plants. I really believe this to be from the water too warm the box has been under some hevy heat for long hrs. So tommrow I will mix up phed water and h2o2 and spray the slime off. They also seem to be sucking the nutes right out of the water. when I chaned the res yesterday and added my nutes the water was a diffrent color now it's clear again. Very intresting. so till tommrow.

Day36&37: 7th day of flower
Added some 1/2 nuted water to res this morning before lights out. left them alone just took each plant out and sprayed off the slime in kitchen sink. No big changes accept more veg growth. the roots are real short on both plants so they must be sativa. As I remember the smoke it was a more head igh than anything not bad either. small tiny buds spots are forming over the plant. just taking for ever. I think there gonna go 2 months to fully mature. no big deal. I will be getting them under an hps withen hope fully withen 2 weeks.
