  5. For now yes gonna learn with this one then next time round I'll do 3, not to borthered if this one turns out to be male. Although would be better being female but that goes without saying.

    if we all had a smoke, we wouldn't need war

     
  6. As promised here's some pics I think you'll be impressed 1370376092212.jpg don't know if you can see but got new leaves coming through as well 1370376143940.jpg this is a side shot for some reason I got a little bit of stretch but not to concerned as yet 1370376205288.jpg and as you can see here we got a little burn but hoping its not to bad

    All in all I'm starting to think I'm doing things right
     
  7. Looking real good, loads of growth, hope its a girl mate

  8. I really hope so too, had more growth today. Although I've not improved my lights much I'm starting to get daily growth, so I'm guessing the lack was just slow roots. Would it make any difference if I changed to something like 20/4.
     
  9. Just experiment mate got my autos on 22/2 althougth I had them on 24 hours a day till recently, just trying to find what works best. Put my other 125 up now aswell so got 595w actual, 3 girls under them and two germing.

  10. Nice bet it looks like a light house calling in the ships lol with mine I started on 16/8 then went to 18/6 with improvement in growth so my thinking was 20/4 see if get extra but wouldn't risk more than that tbh as once I get to around a ft ill be bringing them back down slowly till I hit 12/12 sort of like trying to recreate nature but on a faster scale
     
  11. When I get a much more decent set up I'll probably ditch the autos so I can have that sort of freedom. This is the one planted night before last, just showed her head. 1373064897328.jpg

  15. Today we have numerous advancements in growth lights and housing so

    Growth
    1370563230764.jpg
    1370563254677.jpg
    We are at a total of 4inch from soil to tip.

    Lights

    I've managed to get hold of another 20w so I'm totalling 44w I also have an 11w and 8w but no fixtures as yet but once I do ill be at 63w ok still no were near but I'm planning on 3x30w as the 125w seems as though its not gonna turn up but the way I see it 90w is better than nothing

    Housing

    I've made a start on my box, I built a counter miss judged the height a little as was aiming for 36inch (3ft) ended up with 33inch, depth is at 18inch and width I have 33inch. I've gone for the extra length for future, as gonna go for 2 plants next time then three. I've hung black plastic round it and I have some Velcro that ill be stapling to the wood down the sides so I can it up and shut it down making it light tight. Its not finished but its on its way.

    1370563914578.jpg
    And yes I have a number of computer cases 1 or 2 maybe turned into a mini stealth grow but not sure yet.

    So what are we thinking??
    Personally I think its going well.

     
  16. So saw my baby earlier switch over to 24/0 now gonna keep it on that for a couple of days possible 4-5 then start on the downward to slowly bring me down to 12/12 1370650387040.jpg I do believe the burn from the lights has halted and doesn't seem to be affecting any more of the leaf 1370650464247.jpg and I have also got notable increase in growth yet again to the point the 5 finger fan leave are really starting to come through

    1 question though I've noticed a slight smell coming off my plant nothing bad just the normal bud smell very faint but its there is this normal
     
  17. Switching over to 24/0 has made a great difference no photos today as phone battery was dead before i got to it but my 5 finger leaves are well and truly on show and my second set are coming through which i have FIM'd (I hope) read how to do it and hoping for 4 main colas but if it didn't work i should still get 2 which will be spread apart to allow light penetration

    if we all had a smoke, we wouldn't need war

     
  18. No noticeable change, expecting slight stunt in growth due to fim upped one of my 20w to a 30w so now got 50w could do with picking up a new light fitting and adding that other 20w back in to give me 70w but moneys short at mo but here's some pics 1370820042484.jpg
    1370820057614.jpg as you can see I haven't got a five finger fan I've gone from 3 to 7 is this normal
    1370820129526.jpg in this one you can see where I've hopefully fim'd the top plus some growth at the node site is this a new branch coming in??
     
  19. Right I've been thinking long and hard and remember planting my seeds the day before my cat gave birth and the kittens are 3weeks tomorrow
    So on that I'm at 3 weeks today by my reckoning so are my plants stunted in size or am I about on track.

    As you can see getting some good growth now

    1370977760683.jpg
    My branching is coming along nicely (sorry about bad pic)

    1370977840944.jpg 1370977851485.jpg
    As you can see on these I'm getting some spots on my 3 fan leaves and its only effecting the (leaf facing up stem down) left finger on both leaves. Is this nutes burn.
