Skumper's First Grow - CFL Box - Soil - Bag Seed

[weenmeoff]

Lookin good Skumper. Not sure about when the pre flowers start showing but since you only have 2 plants, you don't need to sweat it much, just flip em to flower and look for lady parts. Im pretty sure they'll stretch significantly once you flip em so not sure how that's gonna work out in your grow space. Is it light proof?

There is one light leak, And that is the PC Fan intake. But I have a stoner engineered tarp like thing I made to keep light out during the dark cycle.
And as for my grow space, I am almost positve I can keep it under control. EVen if they grow a little over double the size of what they are now.
Thanks for the reply

You should be able to see the pre-flower or pistils begin to develop. If it were an auto, you might see the first hairs 26-32 days in. I am just now growing my first photo plant but they won't show any sex until you change the light schedule to 12/12. Should take about 7 days to see something giving the sex away.

You're doing a great job with the lst.

Since you're growing bag seed, it's hard to say what plant 2 might be or why they're growing differently.

 

[golfer420]

When you see these tiny little hairs sticking out from where the branches come off the main stem, she's showing her female sex.

I don't have a picture of a male but they have little 'balls' that hang. They might look like squashed or deflated footballs. The pollen comes out of the male sac and mingles with the female pistils. Next thing you know - you've got seeds!

 

[Gandolf The Great]

Any specific spots where I should look for the pistils?
I don't know for sure but it's where like a branch connects to the main stalk right? Usually where new growth comes from?

 

[golfer420]

I could find more pictures but just go to google and type in "pistils on marijuana" and look for images. You'll see a ton of photos of what the pistils look like.

Alright, Appreciate the help homie.

I will hopefully be able to get some pics up soon they are doing so great. Even Bagseed #2 is starting to go.
But my friend basically stole my phone when we went to a amusement park. Hopefully i'm getting it back today.

 

[Gandolf The Great]

I am not sure how many days we are in but I am thinking about a month.
I don't know if i'm crazy but I went back and looked at the date of my first photo I took.
It basically says I have had my plant for only 21 days. That may be correct. But I feel like it has been about a month, I honestly don't know.
But anyways.
UPDATE TIME
Plant #1 has grown so much since the last time I posted. Sorry for not uploading btw I have been very busy.
She has been topped a total and final of 4 times (this is just review). She has like 8-9 Colas. And with all the LST I have done every single one is getting a lot of light. All of the lower growth is starting to grow quickly now. Fyi. There is not a single shaded part on my plant becuase my lst.
Here's some pics.

And now for my problem (of course I have one)
I found a spider on Plant #2. I thought it could maybe help with the little flys I see every once in a while. But I decided against it because the web size it was making. But I tryed killing it last night with my organic spray. Which didn't work. So I squashed it.
But anyways me and my girlfriend were talking and I think the spider is the reason since I left him over night. But the leaf he was on turned almost completely orange. I pulled it off along with the opposing leaf due to them dying. She thinks the spider couldn't have done it but I don't know.
Also. My leaf's are taco'ing. But not from heat stress. Because the funny thing is... It's curling downwards. Anyone have any idea's on what this could be?
But here is plant #2, She is starting to grow quickly. FINALLY!

Thank you!
Also I had to get on to inform everyone I am seeing signs of sex. I used a microscope but it's still to small to be sure. But it looks like a female.

 

[golfer420]

How are you with watering? The leaves curling downward could be water.

I've been lucky to not have spiders to a great degree. I try to go in daily and move the plants a bit with my hand, look for spiders or bugs, and kill them. In the past I might have one or two tiny spiders making little webs around the lower branches. I usually just killed them with my fingers. I had the gnats once that I solved by watering less and putting a layer of sand on top. Don't have much more to help with.

They do look good, both of them. I like the LST you're using. You should get some nice bud spots on both.

Keep it up

Plants are looking good my man, too bad for that spider. I agree with Golfer, sounds like overwatering or drainage of plant #2 isn't too good. Great job on the LST for plant #1

 

[Gandolf The Great]

Thank you guys for the info. Also, Both of them are females im 80% sure. I think I lucked out

 

[Gandolf The Great]

Hey everyone! It's a little over a month now since my two plant's sprouted.
They are both doing great, Even Plant #2 is the same height as #1 now.
Also Plant #1 is deff a female. So far no signs of hermie.
Plant #2 looks female but I am still not sure.
But here are the ladies.
Plant #1

Here is plant #2

 

[Pat999]

Looks great man they both are growing nicely. How long do you plant on vegging for?

 

[Gandolf The Great]

Thank you man!
And is no one reading what i'm saying . I guess I keep forgetting to add the date of flower im in.
Im like a little over a week into flowering.
They are both female as I can see. Plant #2 might be male. To soon to see.

 

[Gandolf The Great]

Hey everyone, So I kinda need some help. My plant's are getting to big for the box. And I fear they are gonna become root bound. So I want to transplant again? (Opinions???)
Also would a wide but short pot work well? So I can take some height off but the plant still has room to grow?
I could easily keep them under control with LST, But I feel they need a transplant.
All my lower growth isn't really... growing. The canopy looks nice. It's open so all the lower growth has direct light. Like there is no coverage it get's as much as the top. It's just not growing. Some of them grow to be 2-3 inches long then yellow. Any advice?

Also I have 4 seed's in jiffy pellets. Hopefully I can keep those small until harvest so they can go in the box. Im thinking 12/12 from seed on these ones? Since I learned the hard way how much they grow.

 

[Gandolf The Great]

Heyo everyone!
Soooo we are almost 2 weeks into flower now.
They look great besides a few things. Which I stated in my post above.

Also.... Last night my light stayed on for a extra hour and a half. Idk what happend but I turned it off asap.
Hopefully it wont hermie or reveg...
Also #1 has 13 colas!!!
So if you want to help me out you could answer some of those for me .
But anyways here's my plants in the box. BTW I un-lst'd #1 because I am going to transplant it probably. And it needs new LST done anyway.

Alright and here is the lower growth, It has looked the same for over a week now.

A canopy shot.

Over head view,

NOW for plant #2.
It is just starting to thrive now I don't know what happend all of a sudden but it's like it came out of hibernation.
It is doing so well here are some pics. If I transplant this one it's probably going in the pot #1 is in.

But here is some pics of #2

Thank you all for reading. Would love some reply's and advice for plant #1.
