so i just checked the ladies and theyre doing great. Figured when i need to switch to 12/12.
To be done in mid february i have to put the first 3 ladies on 12/12 at some point this week.

Why do i need the lights set to 12/12 this week you ask? well that's because my Fiance and i are getting married march 3. I always say shes my wife because weve been together 11 years, 12 in april. Its never too late right!? anyhow, to have properly flushed and dry buds by feb 13-17, i gotta 12 em this week. This will also allow for some extra monies by our wedding date. :)

Congrats Bro !! That is a fine reason to flipping those wonderful girls to 12/12. One has to plan ahead in doing these things ... makes for a very smart person !! Again, Congrats to the Bride and Groom !!

Merry Christmas and The Very Best in 2012

you allowing enough time for your plants to adapt to 12/12 before the flowering officially begins? maybe i just like my bud really ripe but i always find theres an extra couple weeks at the end where they should of finished but aren't quite ready, god the time goes slowly then! good thinking planning the wedding around it (lol) time will definitely fly for u near the end

Yeah I'm switching on the 22nd this week. Then they're abou a month old and is when I usually induce "labor." :) once I do initiate that routine I usually give em 6 hours of hps the first couple days then in the 12/12 full force. Seems to work good. As far as the last few weeks go, you're right...slow. But this time around I'll be stressing too much about the wedding so it'll be okay. Just hope to remember to flush. Lol

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it!
Even though we've been together 11 years it's still a little nerve racking. :) it all takes place 1000 miles away too!

Excuse some of my picture taking skills for i am sick as a dog in heat and don't have the patience as i normally do to take the "perfect" picture.
the 5 seedlings are the same 5 ive been talking about this last week. once it gets into the groove of things around here i should be harvesting once a month. ill be taking clones off my 3 bigger ones in a couple weeks as well. i am going to do the scrog grow as ive mentioned but did a ton of reading and everyone says do it with clones since youll KNOW what theyll be. smart advice as i could imagine yanking an intertwined male from a screen would be a pain!
Any who, leave some feedback...

UPDATE:

Since yesterday the little ones have gotten a lot bushier. my little thermometer thats on top of the tub was almost unseen from above.

i just switched them to the first 400 watt HPS to begin their ascent!

ill have pics tonight at some point, ive got to take the 5 little ones and put them in the veg room since the ladies are going 12/12.

so far none of the seeds have cracked (didnt think they would anyhow) so im germinating 5 more purples and some others. Im starting to realize i need a bigger house. :)
