Flowering My Bathtub Batch - 1rst grow CFL

docmojoman · #1 (**permalink**) 03-27-2009, 05:14 AM

Okay, I know this is a continuation of my journal Bathtub Batch - 1rst grow CFL, but most heads around here are mainly interested in the flowering part of a grow!

I also ended up getting really inspired by DrBudGreengenes SOG methods. So in a way, since I've changed my grow methodology, this is a new grow!

So, basically, I have 12 plants that I put in to flower under a custom cfl hood with 6 42w 2700k and 2 27w 6500k.

Nope! That's what I like about the cfls. Because they are individually cheap, I was able to start small and keep adding on as time went by. I started out with 2 2' T8s for my seedlings while I had the 6 42w 2700k cfls and 2 27w 6700k cfls which I was intending on veging and then flowering under - but, I found a sale at Target or Home Depot and was able to pick up 4 20w 6500k and 2 23w 2700k cfls which I used to create this hood (pic attached) for vegging!

Here is the post on the subject: Ho' made veg hood

My temps get down to 67F when the lights go off in my box - so I have had to get up and turn the exhaust fans down to their lowest setting every morning. I was wondering if it is necessary to have the exhaust fans going at all when the lights are off?

My box is 2x3x4.5 and I do have fans inside keeping the air circulating.

Well it is 3:15am on my 6th day of 12/12 flowering - I can't stand the suspense! Can't wait to see those sex pistils!

If you had used bud blood you could have seen sex by now.

You still won't see for a couple days. Anywhere from one to five days.

don't wait for them, they will be a surprise.

Bud Blood, eh. I'll look into that one!

I am growing in FFOF and was told that I shouldn't use nutes for at least 4 weeks, so I started using a very weak veg nute at week 3 and I didn't start using my flowering nutes until yesterday (about 5-6 days into 12/12).

Darrrgh! THE plant I wanted most to be a girl was the first to show sex and she's a HE

!

I know this is my first grow and I have never actually seen a male or a female mj plant before - but I am pretty sure this is a dude - look how he's packin' - can't fool me!

yeah, it sucks doesn't it. I know the feeling, same thing happened to me about 3 weeks ago, when I found out the plant I liked the most turned out to be a male.

Well the boys usually show their sex first. From 9 plants I vegged for my first grow, I ended up with 1 male and 1 hermie, so thats not a bad ratio at all.

Sending female vibes your way, hope you get some beautiful potent girls.

BeesKnees - I'm growing bag seed. I sprouted 3 seeds from some that I put away in 2000, the other 7 are from a pretty good bag I got earlier this year.

BloodyTreez - Thanks for the luv vibes - I need them!

I think I have spotted 3 females tonite, but I am not sure! I will have to give them a day or two before I can take a decent photo - the signs I am seeing are probably too small to shoot with my camera.

docmojoman · #15 (**permalink**) 04-05-2009, 08:09 AM

Turns out that I have 5 confirmed females and 2 confirmed males. I chopped the two males (sob). In case you weren't up on this grow, I started with a dozen plants 10 from some recent stank bud I had recently and two from the year 2000.

One of the y2k's was one of the confirmed males - I have my finger crossed for the remaining one! I am guessing that the other 4 unconfirmed are probably female. Why you ask? I believe I have feminzed bag seed! I think these seeds are from self pollinated herms.

I'll try and take some pics of my girls, but I think my camera might not be up to the task!
