Had to delay my 12/12 by a day b/c of a bad timer, but these guys have just finished their first 12/12 cycle. I've spotted at least 4 preflowers on B, still don't know what A is yet (Pleaaaaaseeee be female), and of course don't know what C is. Hard to believe A & B were those nute burned little guys I had at the beginning of this journal, love to watch these plants grow!

Thanks man, nothing like seeing your own ganj grow!

WTF plant B grew 2 inches in a day! I adjusted the light 2 inches above it before it went dark. 12 hours later the lights come on, and I go in and check on them about 20 minutes after the lights are on and B is getting burned; I had no idea it could grow so fast; the plants seem to be getting bigger, quicker. And ever since switch to 12/12 the leaves are getting more...like, flat, like stiff looking, I mean they look fine, but just more like I don't know, at attention or something, if that makes sense, I'm high right now.

Plants are on day 6 of 12/12. B is approaching 2 feet, and seems determined to just keep on growing lol, causing havoc for my ad hoc lighting system. A is bushing out like a champ, but still not showing sex; I THINK I see something, but not certain. C..is, well, C is C, lol....not overly concerned about C.

1st pic: all 3
2nd pic: tops of a and b
3rd pic: node shot of a
4th pic: node shot of b
5th pic: towards the top of b

These pics are from yesterday the 10th day of 12/12. I left for 3 days, and lowered plant B from the light by over 5 inches, I come back and of course it's burned to hell all up growing inside the light!!WTF, why do I have an indica plant that is now very much taller than 2 feet, and keeps growing and growing and growing. I had planned on having plants no taller than a foot and a half, I had no idea they would explode like this during 12/12. I topped it yesterday as well. Plant C is a female, I now care about C a lot more, lol. Plant A..............I'm 85% sure is male which sucks since it's the bushiest and most healthy looking of them all. But 2/3 is better than 0/3. If A is indeed male, can it's parts be used for hash, or are only the females scraps used for hash production?

1st pic: burned top of b, I topped it as well
2nd pic: the height that is plant B....nearly 2 and a half feet tall now.....
3rd pic: the hairs on B are getting longer and more are appearing, I've counted at least 12 spots with the them so far (most have 2 sets of the 2 hairs per node level)
4th pic; what is up w/ some of the leaves on B, they are like wrapping at some of the nodes? Is that part of the flowering process? Pardon my ignorance.
5th pic: all three

LOL

I'm a little high right now so please bare(sp?) w/ me. Day 13 of 12 12. A was def. a male, so the bastard is gone! Both B and C have grown much differently than A. I regret now having just put C off as a side thought (if you read my earlier post you'll see that I had put it in 2 weeks after A and B as a backup), you can tell I didn't give C as much care, it has some stretching (look at the space in between some of the nodes), bad nutes, and etc., but I'm giving her all the care I can now! I also got a loop to help withe the growth of C. Also, and perhaps thankfully, between getting burnt, topped, and having her root entwined Man removed, C stunted growing for about two days, but has resumed course everywhere but the top??

1st pic: testicles be gone!
2nd pic: c
3rd pic: hairs showing up on c
4th pic: the burnt leaves growing out (new growth looking healthy)
5th pic: node shot on B (that dark circle is where I topped (or attempted to) the plant, nothing has grown there since?
6th pic: b, well some of it


P.S. So my camera doesn't suck. After 2 years I figure out it has a macro setting..........fucking stoner.....

quick tip you want to cut off the burnt parts on your leafs but not the entire leaf. if you leave the dead parts on it will kill the entire leaf set but if you cut off the dead parts it won't spread and your plant won't look as bad.

congrats on the two females

Thanks for the tip. Oh and for reference, that loop is 2 feet tall

Quick update. Everything is coming along nicely. Removing plant A allowed me to change my light setup. C is doing very well now that I've been giving attention to her; she's growing between 1 - 2 inches a day (look at my post on 12/27 and see the dif. between C then and C now.) I think B has stopped growing, finally! LOL, which is perfect b/c her height is right at optimal level for my box right now.

1st pic: plants B and C
2nd pic: b node shot
3rd pic: c node shot

B has some buds forming on it so posting some pics of plant B and some of its early forming buds. It's very cool to see your own ganj growing I must say.

[irieC]

About 3 weeks into 12/12 I believe. The difference in plant C since it only had half the Veg time and it's roots are bound by such a small pot is well, expectantly noticeable. My buds seem to be growing slow, but well it is my 1st grow, and I'm learning as I go, and enjoying it!


1st pic: plant c
Rest of the pics: plant B bud/node shots, w/ the last pic being a pic of the top showing a double bud going on where I topped the plant.
