re: Kushwreck & Others - Soil - HPS - CFL - 2014 - First HPS Grow

UPDATE:

did some more things in the grow last night but i was too tired to upload the pictures and everything. so theres some pics of that and then some from tonight.

I put an extension on my light hood so i could drop it down all the way and still attach the ducting. plants are now on ground level in the grow area.

these are from tonight after watering the 4 younger plants. ( plain water ph 6.6 )

Hell ya, my girlfriend is pulling up a chair too, she doesnt have an account so she is just going to tag along on mine. Everything is looking great, cant wait to see them explode in size. Your topping looks clean, bravo!

UPDATE:

Finally built the cabinet for the new vegging area, for my perpetual grow. ( my goal is to pull about a 1/4 pound every month, which if im not mistaken, that would make enough RSO to do the proper doses to cure cancer. or at least thats what im crossing my fingers for. ) im going to post the pictures of the cabinet but thats about it, ill start a new journal for that in about a week when these plants hit 4 weeks old.

dont be jealous of my immaculate artistic skills and handwriting, HA!

the girls are looking good too, i gotta get the seedlings out so i can put the bigger plants right under the HPS though.

look how dirty the filter i made got in just a little over a week of use! so glad i put that in

They arent stretching too bad. I would lower your lights as close as you can get them without burning the plants. It looks like your lights are still 6 to 8 in away when it should be about 4. If they get tall early you will have really tall plants at the end, not to mention the buds might not be able to hold themselves up. Looking nice though!

they are as close as 2 inches in some areas and some are 4 inches away thats whats weird. they are starting to stack nodes again they just had an initial stretch after i topped that i wasnt expecting.

UPDATE:

decided to flip the lights to 12/12, they have 3 weeks of veg time, and have 3 nodes past where i topped at so theres a good start for some colas.

re: Kushwreck & Others - Soil - HPS - CFL - 2014 - First HPS Grow

UPDATE:

pretty sure i see a calyx on two of the plants but its still too early for me to be sure.

I have seen branching occur from the cotyledons before. I'd do the same and remove it immediately. I think it actually shows how healthy your plant is. Your plants look great, keep it up.

re: Kushwreck & Others - Soil - HPS - CFL - 2014 - First HPS Grow

UPDATE:

still not sure if i see pre flowers on plants 1 and 2. but im pretty sure i do. anyways heres a few shots from today.

and i figured out a little trick, if i take my pictures through the sunglasses i normally where when messing with the plants, it makes the lines go away in the pictures!

re: Kushwreck & Others - Soil - HPS - CFL - 2014 - First HPS Grow

UPDATE:

still no pistils coming out of the calyxs i think i see, but i switched to the bloom nutes so that should spring em into action in a day er two.

this is the third leaf up, usually a 5 blade, but its a big ass 7! and look at the weird twisted main stem

i have such a perfect cross wind going, this black thermometer tip endlessly sways in a circle, its kind of hard not to be amused by it

UPDATE: Day 4 of 12/12

really filling out, i was going to wait until about a week after they show sex to defoliate as i usually do, but im wondering if doing it now would kick the plants energy more toward starting the buds? thoughts?

re: Kushwreck & Others - Soil - HPS - CFL - 2014 - First HPS Grow

UPDATE:

did a bit of a super cropping technique on one of the plants ( roll the stem in your fingers to soften it, then give it a little bend if still necessary, i know there's a few ways of doing this so thats mine ) a few tops were getting a bit close to the HPS i have in the middle of my light hood, but i didn't want to raise the lights yet because the CFL's are a comfy 3-4 inches away.

and the string i tied around the plants earlier, now go into effect.

im loving this canopy but if i end up with all girls its gunna be a tight fit, and kinda throw off my plans, hmmm
