Halfway in my first grow

[KamelRedLight]

Pewpil you said it I've got branches that woulda just fallen by the wayside, growing what looks like are gonna be big nugs just cuz they got a chance to reach for the sky. I tied down the taller vegging plant. It's doing better now, after it dropped it's last severely damaged leaf (that makes 3 it dropped). The other one I'm gonna let grow vertically. I'm sick of the blurry pics and I'm going to buy a better camera, cuz I wanna capture all the bud sites. I think Mama's doin pretty well, and I wanna know what everyone else thinks.
Later...

Day 16 of Flowering
Power went out this morning right as the lights turned on. I'm not sure how long it was out cuz I had to leave for another exciting day of community service, but based on my flashing clock, they lost about 3 hours of day, which isn't too bad. I watered all the plants and gave Big Mama her first feeding of fertilizer, and all three plants got a drop of Superthrive in their drink. I saw the little bottle in wal mart and I thought "hmm this would fit into my pocket nicely." Let's see what happens!

Check out the last shot of one of the kids. I didn't top it, but the main stem somewhere along the line stopped growing and the two side branches took over. This plant is just weird, it's had some deformed leaves too, but always looked a bright glowing green. It came from the same bag as the second baby, but they are in no way the same plant... I think it was two types of bud in one bag (not mine, a kid gave em to me).

The LST'd baby is keeping its damaged leaves, and I figure if it doesn't wanna drop em I won't pick em off.

Enjoy the pics. Mary Jane is a beautiful plant...

looking good... how much did that digi cam cost you? plants look like they have good crystal formation at an early stage of flowering=always a good thing... hows the smell?

[KamelRedLight]

Hey Dre. The camera came to about $160 with tax, including a case. An awesome deal, it takes good close ups even at lower resolutions. And ohhh the smell! When she was a baby she had this strong very skunky smell, but now it's getting a little fruity, more like how I remember the buds smelling when I bought em. I can't wait!!!

[dre2005]

thats real tight... hey man, check out the recent pics in my FLa outdoor thread... i finally got them up. let me know what you think...

[KamelRedLight]

I couldn't see the reason to let a perfectly good bulb slack off and stay in its packaging just because I didn't have another lamp. My lights are now 3x 26w soft white CFL (1700 Lumens each) and my LED plant bar, which I think is actually 40w, because on the power supply it says the output is 24v 1.67a, and if I remember correctly I x V = W so 24v x 1.67a = 40W.

Day 18 of flowering
Lookin/smellin good! As it turns out the LED bar is only 5.3w...the power supply is 40w cuz you can rig 8 of these in series. Lots of bud sites are beefing up. More than 30 little buds, not counting the little insignificant ones. Anyone have an idea how much this plant could yield in the end?

Day 22 of flowering
So after 3 weeks, we're lookin good. A couple new developments. Some of the pistils are startin to turn orange, mostly on the main branch. Also, I'm noticing brown spots on a few of the leaves. Just tiny little spots in random places. I have no clue what they are. I think the babies are lookin for a transplant, but the next step is 5 gallon buckets and I don't really have the room for 2 more 5 gals. Is it ok to leave em root bound until I can move em to the bottom level when that plant is harvested? Or is it gonna take too long. Tell me how I'm doin!

i have just started a similar grow i have 4 x 23 watt cfls on my 1 plant with a total lumen output of 6800 so that should be good for a while until i get some 2 x 4 foot flo fixtures or some big like 32 watt cfls like 4 more.

[kayakbubbler]

Good looking plants, I've got 3 that are in the same place as yours so in a month or so we should be some happy dudes. Keep up the growing

Day 27 of flowering

These brown spots are spreading, do they look serious to anyone? I don't see any bugs but the occasional gnat that I kill. Buds are gettin bigger!

[infiniteawesome]

Nice grow. Hope my plants under 150 hps light turn out that nice.

Anyways, next time you post pics could you put some kind of common household item up next to the plant and buds for scale? Sorry to suddenly show up and make a request that would require a physical action to address such a request, but I'm just curious.

Thanks.
