Daily update, and I really love your comments guys, thanks alot.

This morning after coming home from work, I noticed the soil was very dry. Last time my babies got water was a week ago, so I did not feel like I would drain them as dry as it was. Acually the soil were so dry I had too water them three or four times because the water just went straight trough the pots, many cracks in the soil.

This picture was before watering.

And about 7 - 8 hours later.

EDIT: My spelling sux

So far very good.

A fairly good schedule for watering and feeding at this point would be every 4 days water or feed. You will have to start using the plant weight to judge when to water or feed.

Got a question to the more experienced growers.

Would it be dumb changing to 12/12 in lets say, a week?

How big do you want your plants? How tall is your grow area?
A plant will almost triple in size during flowering.
How many nodes does the plants have?

LST = Low stress training, correct? Could you please link to a thread with pictures for me too learn, and I would be forever greatfull. And again, thanks for the comments guys!

 

[L8tNightSkunk]

check my grow out i did lst on them

 

[Nudeh]

Thank you l8tnightskunk, now I understand the idéa of LST. I will try it on all my six plants, and you will see the result later today.

 

[Nudeh]

Okay, so ive tried it now. And i innerly hope I did not make any misstakes, and I guess its up too you guys too see if its been properly done. To the pix.

Good/bad wrong/right?

Your English is better than that of many people who have it for their native language.

You might consider using both 125-watt CFLs during flower for the extra lumens.

If it were me (and if there is space) I would strongly consider waiting to switch to flower until the plants reach maturity. That is, until the nodes are staggered instead of directly across from each other.

If those weren't feminized seeds you may well end up with two to four being male.

Looking good!
