God forbid i get a miss burley like harry red. They are going to go into 5 gallon buckets as soon as they show signs of being fem so thats an another 5 or 6 inches just from the transplant.

I think you should allow for Sativa dominant strains to triple in height. If you veg to 24", you may end up with 6 footers, or higher. I vegged to 12-13 inches in my current LST grow and the tallest cola still ended up being 45", even with the LSTing. I didn't use any Miss Burley clones either (she quadrupled). I'll save her for outside, next growing season.

Thanks Harry

Just went lights out and set the timer for 12/12 so tomorrow will be the first day of flowering. I'm going to leave the the MH in until i see signs of sex or about 2 weeks.

[MOTAvation]

MMMM they look so healthy.

[BubbaKush]

nice greenery you got a green thumb for sure

[Ms.Fox]

Nice! They're sooo green!

Day 5 of flowering.

See maybe 3 plants with white pistols starting to emerge.

Found a setting on my camera that makes HPS shots look better. I can manually set the light to Tungsten which appears to act as a blue filter.

Normal:



Tungsten mode:




Ave plant height is 24 inches from top of soil. The HK is about 13 inches.






Been noticing some leaf deformations. Not sure if there is some sort of plant eating insect in my tent but I can't find any suspects. maybe they only come out at night? Tonight before lights out I am going to soak the plants in Safers insect killing soap. Made a batch last night and tested on some lower leaves to make sure I would not kill the whole crop. I suggest this method to anyone before hosing down a whole plant or crop with something.

Just a few leaves here and there nothing major but still upsets me.

Just chopped down 5 males out of 8 plants. :( Kinda mad about it. Oh well. Now I'm like Hef and can special attention to my 3 lovely ladies. Lost the HK in the process, damn.

I have 2 WW and 1 NLBB. WW's on the left and NLBB on the right. NLBB looks a little wilted because I let it dry pretty good, just transplanted everyone into 5 gallon buckets to finish out the grow. Everyone just got a nice feeding so the NLBB will perc right up in the next couple of hours. She uses a lot of body language.

Your plants are looking sexy, great job so far.
One word of advice, you should never transplant or trim during flowering..this is a very sensitive time of the grow when they are sexing.
Good luck, hope you get some sweet buds!

Yeah I know but I didn't want to waste too much soil or drill holes in buckets I didn't need to so I waited for the very first signs of sex. I was very gentle with them. didn't break up the root ball or anything. Thanks

[Ms.Fox]

I feel ya on getting mostly males! They look great though!

[McBudz]

Just stretched em' out and opened up with some LSTing.

[Dr. 215]

They look great, good job!

[Harry Red]

[MOTAvation]

Damn thats a lot a males, looks like your tent will fill in nicely though.

[Ms.Fox]

You're doin great! I don't think my camera has that tungsten mode. ;-( LOL! It makes me wanna sell it and get something that has that ability. ;-) The pics with it are amazing!
