thats right, my first grow i am blessed with 9 females, I only had to pull one plant, and oh my god i did not want to... believe me. Anyways, I am about to upload some pics, I welcome some advice. I want to send 4 plants into flowering, but not sure if it is too soon! The other 5 are still only 6 inches high or so, but beauties. I started my grow right after Halloween, except for the one tall plant, which is the tallest of em all, on Halloween 2009. I started with no timers, and I was inconsistent probably on the times of the dark/night, but basically kept a 18+ light period. The timers are set now for a 18 hour day and a 6 hour sleep. The 6 hour sleep seems a little long, think next time I will lengthen day to 20 hours on and 4 off. I do want to keep em on 24/0 but as I read in a post, I prefer for the ballast to cool off. 400 watt MH and 4 105 watt (400w equivalent give or take) are currently in use today. The MH lamp is actually a HPS lamp, so I use a conversion bulb. So I am set for flowering, which is why I am here I am wondering if I should set these bigger trees to flower soon, I see all kind of shoots and definetly they females.... so lemme know what u tthink some mor info, the plants are in huge buckets, nice nice roots. I was using a organic fertilizer which a neighbor hooked me up with, and it made the plants takeoff. Now I use a different fertilizer, but seems ok. At first, I was having some probs that thought they just wouldnt go away... and that is the yellowing of the leaves. Now the tall plant was the first to do this, which is why it has so few fan leaves. I had to cut off a lot of branches resulting from this, but looks like its recovering now. This plant is actually on a side of a mountain in a bucket (not really but it looks like it) At the bottom of this mountain some herb (i think its some basil seeds i threw in long time ago) are showing. It's pretty cool. So the biggies were planted in late October/Early November and the smaller bushier plants were given to me back in January. So those were probably planted back in January or even December. Anyone know what strain these are. I have probably 3 different strains growing, ill fix the pics so they are in order.
