It looks good to us.

looking good....

 

[azcruiser]

It's all good this am.

 

[azcruiser]

Today for the first time when entering the bedroom the grow tent is in we noticed a distinct smell of herb. Is this a sign of preflowering? Or just a normal thing at this stage. Appreciate any opinions.

 

[azcruiser]

Sunday am update, It's almost all good.
Added 3 new CFL's (3560 lumens).
1 - 26w 5000k, 2 - 23w 6500k

Now we have:
1 - 130w LED (3w led's)(??? lumens)
6 - 40w CFL's (16320 lumens) 2700k
1 - 26w CFL (1660 lumens) 5000k
2 - 23w CFL's (2900 lumens) 6500k



#4 may have balls.

# 7

 

[azcruiser]

It became obvious that #4 is male. So with great sadness and ceremony we destroyed him. I did save the leaves for later use in canna-butter perhaps.

The upside is we have 3 definite females and three as of yet undetermined sex. It ain't all bad.

 

[azcruiser]

Fed her yesterday and she is now 2" tall and 2 " wide. Yay!

That's how they start smelling after they grow so big. I've noticed that they start to get skunky after about 4th or 5th node they grow, I have no experience with clones though. Sorry to hear about #4. It sucks when you have to chop them after putting in so much time with them. #7 is still looking awesome

#7 - Supersonic Cristal Storm

almost 6" wide now.

 

[Twelve12]

Awesome setup you got going. Following along your grow. Pulling up a sofa.

 

[azcruiser]

Cut my first clone yesterday off of #2 the White Shark strain. Followed all the directions and suggestions. We'll see what happens. Everything else is growing well - straight, tall and green!

thanks Twelve12 appreciate the input.

 

[azcruiser]

#10 is the clone cut from from #2.
We are going to 12/12 with the lights sometime this weekend.

#7 - Supersonic Cristal Storm
Day 18 and she looks good.

 

[azcruiser]

This is the clone from the original #2 White Shark clone. After just 2 full days she looks pretty good. I also decided to take #7 out of the tent during the dark period and give her her own light. She needs 24hr of light for her best performance. The original clones #'s 1&2 are in full pre flower and will be put to full flower schedule very soon. Fingers are crossed and hopes are high.



#10

 

[azcruiser]

Well we lost #3 HE went to a better place, with #4.

 

[Twelve12]

Let's have a moment of silence...

 

[obliviconsent]

sorry about #3

 

[azcruiser]

5 & 6 show no sign of sex yet, but soon will.
I changed the timer to 12/12 starting today at 6pm.
The new clone and 5&6 will just have to hang on for the ride.
#7 gets moved out at 6pm and back in at 6am she keeps on 24/0 now.

box for #7
I need to vent the box and other stuff, all that will come.
should work ok.

 

[Hosebomber]

In late but sub'd. Sorry to hear about #3 and 4. #7 is looking good and has a nice thick stem. Should throw some beautiful flowers.

 

[azcruiser]

Day 20 and she had grown a lot. When they say accelerated growth they aren't kidding. Ain't she purty!
