Equanimity's 2nd Grow - The White Room - HPS & CFL - 3 Strains & Sex for Afters

Update

So, I decided to do a green clean.
It's a pretty aggressive green clean for which I have several reasons.
First, it was getting very over crowded in there and the plants were almost humping.
No light was getting in past the first layer and I need a lot of that sub canopy shit for revegging later on.
I wanted to get rid of some of the shit that might be harder to excavate come harvest time.
and
I'm afraid of mould lol


Carla's flowers have started to fill out and not before time. As with most of the Lemon Kush plants, she's pretty late to the party in terms of thickening.

Nicola Is the same, a good amount of flowers, one big long thing in the middle.

Joanne has small arms and a thick trunk, She's never been great. Not even when she was naked. Just... Meh. So, yeah, anyway, see her now.

Christine Looks great, plenty of thick flowers and now that she's topless she can get a bit of sun on her extremities. Christine should have been in the other group lol

Leanne is short and stacked, she's got a great set and lent herself well to the laser hair removal treatment. Top drawer.

Jennifer is boring as hell. I didn't even have the motivation to green clean her as much as the others. We don't have much in common any more. Our relationship is a husk.

Loretta is the main reason I did the massive green clean; her top level growth is fairly chunky but her undercarriage is under performing like me in telesales.

Josie is a poor man's Leanne; she looks the part but there's things about her you'd like to change but can't. She could use a little bit more meat on the bone.

Cheryl looks weird and uneven but by now it's difficult to work out which plant is which unless you trace the stems from the bottom. Either way, she's a bit disappointing. She didn't know how to look after herself and life got on top of her.

thanks :)

Kinda hoping they thicken up a bit in the next two weeks or so.

Moving them to 128ml nutes tomorrow, still laying off the molly for a while tho.
 
Keep using the molly man. Those beneficial bacteria, Iron, Potassium is what you need right now. It'll help out for sure.
 
hell yea !! those girls are looking good.:bravo: . sucks about the clones ... our grows are not far apart.. i think im going to name my ladies on my next grow.
 
Update

Ok, so, absolutely diddly has happened in the last week so i'm not gonna go through the list.

Here's the porn, you can tell me if they look close to harvest-ready (they kinda need to get ready in the next 10 days)
And also, maybe you can riddle me this:

They've slowed right down, almost to the point of going 5 days without needing watered. Any ideas? Is this normallo?

Anyway, my clones all died so I planted the last of all my seeds, and they all sprouted, see them now:

They are:

Linda - Sleestack x Skunk Regular
Becky - Sleestack x Skunk Regular
Ãine - Lemon Kush (pronounced 'awn-ya')
Monica - Lemon Kush
Hayley - Lemon Kush
Penny - Lemon Kush

As you can see, the two skunks are like 6 inches tall and way bigger than the other four; so i think they might both be boys.
Probably too early to tell.
 
I think they could do with a couple more weeks. I look at trichomes under a magnifying glass to see wen i should harvest. Before i done this i would harvest wen 90% of the white hairs on the buds had withered to beibg orange brown colour. Looking ace. Id take a stab at ur ph being out slightly if theyre not drinking. Mine are about were urs are snd tgere thirsty as hell. I had my soda pop girl not drink for a week cos ph water was too low. After 9 days her bottle was dry enough for re feed so i made sure water was bang on and shes drinking thirsty again all every othr day

I can't imagine what's upset the pH cos I've been testing it, the only change was that i stopped using molasses for two feeds because I found fluffy mould on my solo challenge coir after a feed that had three tablespoons of molasses in it. Just started the molly again a few days ago at one tablespoon (last known good level), and tonight they had another feed.
 
So, I have out into action a plan to make the girls get ready for the end of days.

They have been moved to 10 hours of light and 14 hours of darkness.

My yield target appears to have been reached now, so I wish for the hairs to start going curly and that.

Thoughts?

Also, do ya think these are ready to be potted up? I'm potting up now, as an experiment, to see if potting up is a good angle. I have some mid sized pots for them to go into and then finally the big square ones again. I kinda wanna know their sex before I invest much more time in them

Can i flip to flower to check sex and then reveg for bulk and then finally flower again?

how many weeks is the lemon kush? im starting on week 9 with mine. id say she has 75 % red\oranges hairs but the one coming off the tipp of the cola are still white . i was hopping shed be ready since i have flushed her a week ago and been giving her str8 water at 7.0 ph but i checked her trics last night and the were all mostly still clear so i guess she gets water and more light ..

id say them plants are ready to b transplanted .. u can do what u said above about flipping and the reveging but then u add allot of grow time to the harvest in my eyes .
 
Spent the last hour or two reading this journal...can't remember what caught my attention...lolol...very entertaining!..EQ...luv Yer sense of humour!...I'm a soil farmer at heart...but...enjoy expanding my knowledge...wishing U all the success U deserve fer Yer efforts...h00k....
 
I would pot them up before flipping to check sex :thumb:

The roots grow fast as they start to flower, so give them a bit of room, then revert them as soon as you can tell sex for sure.
You will stall the grow by about a month, but get bushy monsters as a result :yummy:

Hey guys.

Am sorry for my lack of updates.

As we approach Christmas, time becomes shorter and though I've time to water my girls, I've not had time to take photos, edit them and then write about them. The majority of my time is spent with the kids and working and such.

Also I've been seeing this girl... Called Aoibhe. Yeah. 90% of my time is spent trying to pronounce that shit, this is Ireland.

I will take a bunch of pics on Saturday night and will also update my Solo Grow plant as yes, she is still alive.

I can say though that all the girls are still alive and are heading toward harvest.

They're on 10/14 lighting with increased heat and single digit humidity and have received their second water-only feed. Their final water-only will be this Friday night (if increasing the heat does increase transpiration as i hope) and then they'll be cut down and hung up on Sunday night.

I will hang them in the grow room above the next girls and these will all be on 12/12 until i see sex, back to 18/6 until they show reveg and immediately back into flower. These new plants will be all about the training. Mainlining, backbuilding, the heap; 6 plants, 6 methods compared.
