    Well another days growth,just a quick updat on whats good and whats not.
    All skunk 1 plants are in there final pots,transplants went ok but for some reason i used the water with the nutes in it, that i use for my sun flower seeds and they got a little burnt.

    Im letting them stretch a little bit more b4 i start training them and then under the net they go.
     
  13. Ah a little burn wont hurt nothin ;) Because god planned them to get that little bit of nute's even if it burned them! Maybe theyll turn SUPER xD!! They look good, keep the positive growing up!!

    I think your wright,it doesnt seem to have harmed them to much. Anyway another quick update i topped two of them last night and started training them to, you might be able to see from the pics that it looks like there taking to it well.

    My hps is on the way out, its blinking on for 10 secs of for 10 so i ordered another one yesterday.In the mean time ive had to rearange my light rig a bit so all the plants get as much light as possible.
    Im gonna switch my lights back to 24/7 untill my other bulb comes on tuesday hopefully it wont slow them down to much

    Anyway this is 18 days from seed enjoy:)

    Thanks bud,

    Ive had to do a little chage around of the set up, thats why no update yesterday.also ive had to take of the training ties as it would have taken to much time to reach my scrog net.
    Three of my plants have been topped and i was wondering if i should top the rest of them, some feedback would be nice, ill post up some pics later to show progress and new set up.
    Oh yeh, my bulb started working again:D and my replacement one should come tomorrow or thursday.

    yo, I say top em, if theyre only growing one main cola insead of two or four theyll be that much taller and if your using a screen I wouldnt see the point in not topping or fimming. preciate the possitive juju on my thread, i hope they pull through.
     
  18. Hello again just the pics i promised earlier.

    [​IMG]
    The new setup as you can see The plants are now under the screen and i have added the cfl lights to the side of the rig,these can be move at anytime.

    The cheese is taking its time, but im trying to be patient.

    Right,so all the plants have been topped and ive tried to fim one of them.Its been a long time since my last grow and that was all outside back in 97,i didnt use anything but sugar and water and it was the best toke ive had to this day.Anyways im just doing this for myself and have all the time i need to perfect my tech.Hopefully my new bulb will come in t
    he morning and i can stop worrying about it switching of overnight:eek:.
     
  19. Ive just looked back at my pics and i can see the leaves realy are dusty:mad::(.
    i will need to find a way to clean them, or a way to keep the dust down in my grow room
     
  20. Just a quick update.Ive had them out in the sun all day and they loved it.My wife has been moving them around as the sun moved so they got good light from 7am this morning to 8pm when i got in from work and put them back in there room, i wont post no pics today cause im nakered,i just need some good sex and sleep:wave:.
