lol my gf would MURDERIZE me if i drilled holes in the bottom of her Lenox tea cups - I will be changing their pots Friday or sooner, also I am doubling the lights from 4 to 8 on Friday as well...total lumens will be 12,800 at that point. I am also solving ventilation concerns this week, before temps become a problem due to the extra CFLs.

They look great so far. Good ideal for the poll! It should be interesting.

OK so remember the big white pots i originally had my seeds in, marked with candles? LOL I was idly tidying up and looked in them, as I was reorganizing, and discovered three more plants growing out of that soil with really long roots, due to being (I guess) really far down into the soil, making them taller than the rest of the herd. I put them in moist dirt under the lights with the rest of the girls, and though they sagged at first, by the end of the light cycle they were standing ramrod stiff, and have new leaf growth already.

What makes this so ironic is my plants are taller in <2weeks than other's who have vegged a month and not gotten past 4 nodes yet...My guess is the difference is not what equipment you use, it's whether you listen to the advice you receive from this wonderful community, and LISTEN TO YOUR PLANTS. Some of the members here have gone to great lengths in order to give us the most accurate account they can of how they grew the monster buds that other bud mags wish they had, so don't take that for granted.


RESPECT


pic update of the new younglings.

got my extra lights, moving to bigger containers with drainage as well. all 8 are doing well, the heat from the lights is rough but i have a full sized box fan exchanging air for now...we'll see how that goes.

[UntamedFox]

that one in the lower right looks like a pure sativa! damn, hope it's a female!

[XSVBuds]

i am intending on having separate veg and flower rooms very soon - find a good mother, and start the clone wars.

[UntamedFox]

ahh yes, the clone wars haha

[XSVBuds]

OK so I think I have put everyone's advice into consideration, and upgraded my entire setup...in the pictures you can see that I have buried the girls up to their neck in soil, in order to recoup some stability the lacked from being in the teacups.





Now Some Nudey Pics of the Girls!















I was also fortunate enough to get a fat nug of Trainwreck...holy crap dude.
Stinky/Skunky and there is no way you aren't coughing at least a little off that very first blast. Nice and balanced high, no paranoia/anxiety and not too stoney.

[XSVBuds]

Are the girls far enough along to determine what strain they are, or at least what general variety? someone mentioned I could have a potential pure sativa in there (all seeds came from the same bag) so nailing down what I have would be awesome. pics show the girls chugging right along.














Is the progress good enough to not mess with nutes/light times yet?

[UntamedFox]

yea, you really wanna wait till it's about 8"-10" high before you mess with times, that's what I've heard at least

[XSVBuds]

thanks UntamedFox

Checked out both your grows, good stuff. Thanks for visiting my grow too.
Your survey topped out at $1,000. Let's just say mine was a wee bit more than that. :)

it stays ~70 degrees - the box has a normal box fan at the front - it prolly changes the air out every 1/2 second lol

Group shot update



A question for you guys: What is causing the two plants pictured to have crispy/brittle leaves (only the bottom set, the rest of the growth looks good), and is there anything I can/should do? I hypothesize that because I didn't have any cooling the first week or so of growth, maybe I cooked the leaves, but I don't know.



the left and right leaves in this shot:
