Gonna Give It A Go (help me please)

[mister2]

just be patient dewd, apparently females grow slower than males, so you could be lucky

[Ganjagod85]

I'm so excited man... I wish I could check on em' but they're in the dark period just entered flowering 6 days ago......so high right now man

[mister2]

apparently green light dosent hurt the plants during darkness

[mister2]

well looks like there is going to be a new addition to my growcupboard

yesterday i recieved my feminised Power Plant seed, and promptly put it in to germinate using the paper towel/baggy method.

She's already cracked, but will stay germinating till tommorow afternoon before being potted! I cant wait, i think she's 80% Sativa, wich means a LOT more LST practice for me, and being feminised means at least i'll be garunteed a smoke in a few months!

Will post pics tomorow

As always ANY advice/comments appreciated

[reasoner22]

+ Then what happened?

[mister2]

sorry couldnt get online

pic 2 - succesful topping
pic 3 - Annabel's twisted stem, is this good or bad when using LST?
pic 4 - Bernadette's Looking good still?
pic 5 - you can see Claudia in the back looking strong

as always ANY advice/comments appreciated

hey, they're coming along great. Nice and dark green

Sorry for not possibly reading the first post, but are these a indica dominant strain?

[mister2]

Thanks for stopping by dewd,

Northern Lights is quite possibly the most famous strain in modern times. A pure indica grown first in Holland, Northern Lights has been crossed with multiple strains in the creation off new breeds and mixes. It is one of the most potent and powerful plants known in the world. Most all of the well-known indoor strains today contain some of Northern Lights genetics.


Normally grown indoors, Northern Lights has, over time, adapted towards indoor growing. With its high flower to leaf ratio, its high yield, easy harvest, short flowering time and outstanding resin production, Northern Lights is an easy to cultivate plant that proves extremely lucrative. It's a small plant that packs a big punch.

Winner of more titles of harvest festivals than any other strain, Northern Lights produces snowy white, crystalline buds that carry a full, airy aroma yet has a very neutral, if almost non-existent taste. But don't let that fool you, Northern Lights is one of the highest quality highs one can ever procure. A definite must have for cannabis lovers and pot aficiacandos world-wide.


Plant height:
Short Plant
Stoned or high?:
Stoned INDICA
THC level:
High THC
Flowering Weeks:

Yield:
500
Harvest Month:

[cantgetenough]

Hi mister2, not checked in for a while.Congrats on the females, looks like your first grow is going to be a success.Great job bud

[mister2]

Thanks for stopping by again cantgetenough, always good to have you on board.

I've only got seen pistels on 1 plant so far (claudia), so will be keeping a close eye on the other 2 so no males can get near her! Cross your fingers for me that the other 2 show pistels too

[youngpothead]

remember not to water too much. you want them to get a nice strong root ball on them and the roots wont go looking for water if there is water always there. let them dry out so the roots streatch and look for water.

[mister2]

well..... er..... thanks for the advice dewd...... i think....... lol

Dewd I learnt all that before I started growing. If you read the whole thread you'll see that I had a small problem with overwatering early on, due to lack of drainage holes in the bottom of the 'party cups'.

What makes you think they are overwatered????

[BrazyJay]

good luck on the other 2... i just found female preflowers on 1 of my 2 plants... hope u keep updating so i can watch ur grow

[mister2]

Well over the past few days I finally recieved my 2700k envirolite (even if they did screw-up and send the 125w insyead of the 200w i ordered ) so I set about changing over to 12/12 cos I'm fed up getting ripped off buying over-priced-under-dried-shit!
The lights went from 24/0 to 20/4 for one night, then the light was changed to 125w 2700k envirolite and ran 20/4 again, the next day 16/8 and then finally the 12/12.
They've really taken off! I water them 1 litre of PH adjusted (6.8) water with no nutrients every 2-3 days (when soil is dry and they start to droop) Ive had to adjust the lights twice already.
My main concern is that I still only have one female showing sex shouldnt the others have shown by now?
Also the temperature at night when the lights are off drops as low as 15.9C, is this to low?

ANY ADVICE PLEASE ON WHAT NUTES TO USE NOW I'M FLOWERING??? BUDBOOST MAYBE???

Here's the pics

As always ANY advice/comments welcomed and appreciated

Pic1 - Too tall for 125w envirolite to flower? I'm looking into getting another or a 75w hps to stick in with them?
Pic2 - My Successfully FIM'd plant
Pic3 - My Successful LST'd Plant
Pic4 - More Pistels Are Comming Through on Claudia
Pic5 - What is this thing? There is only 1 of them and it looks really weird. its bigger today than yesterday too. any help?
