The Neverending Grow

[KaliKitsune]

The second (I'm assuming you mean the larger one) is losing the bottom leaves as I've topped it, those bottom leaves are going away and making room for the growth at that node, plus they're not getting much light so they slowly yellowed.

They've just had a transplant into some far-superior quality soil so it'll take a week or so for everything to get back to normal.

And I only mist once every week or so, on the rare occasion it gets a little hot.

UPDATE ON THE TINY PLANT::::

There's the pistils of the flowers popping up at the lower internodes. The bottom ones have yet to show, but watching this plant, it seems likely that it'll do this soon.

either thats dirt, or u have a problem with spider mites or somethin O_O

 

[KaliKitsune]

there is dirt, yes. The white spots is where mold used to be until I killed it.

I spray my room quite often to control pests. There are no spidermites, I check the leaves every day just to keep vigilant. Ain't SHIT getting to my pot and my peppers and my basils.

I also have a pitcher plant in there that does catch the occasional bug, too.

Is that a bug in the second pic?

Watch for the herm traits on the smaller plant showing female flowers already. In my experience, plants that have gone through that much trauma will attempt to flower ASAP as if death is near.

It would make some sense to develop female flowers before pollen sacs, to catch the sacs when they bust.

It'll interesting to see if that plant is just tough, and flowers early. I hope it is/does.

Went back and checked on the plant, it was a fleck of dirt.

i dont understand the purpose of this. and your pics are wayy too big.

I suggest you read the first post of this thread, then. This is an experiments journal where I test out things from random bagseed (or in the case of the larger current pot plant totally immature seed stock,) and other things.

And the reason for large pics is for better viewing in detail of potential problems (or in the case of the tiny pot plant, oddities such as this autoflowering even at a 17/7 light cycle.) Using attachments auto-resizes the pictures and destroys detail, so I upload the pictures to my photobucket account. Another reason for the large images is because I have a 32 inch monitor. Guess how tiny those 800x600 attachment images look on my monitor? I can't see things in such small resolution.

If the page takes too long to load, I'd suggest going to your control panel and adjusting how many posts per page you see, this should help you with loading time if that's an issue.

Still no sign of the flowering ever coming to a halt.

 

[NewGrowth]

I would hope not

I would hope not

Well, it's only a little three-inch tall plant!
But it is ~6wks old, so if it's an autoflowering strain, it's about time for it to do it anyways.

Just gonna let it go.

I'm guessing hermie later on, that plant was stressed a bit. Kind of sucks but lets see what happens. Some super thrive might help her out a bit.

Update on plants:

The larger one is starting to branch out nicely. I'll give it another two, maybe three weeks and then I'll move to a flowering light cycle. Will probably get at max a quarter dry, expecting more like an eighth.

The small one is still flowering, and exhibiting the same oddball leaf symptom that the 'weed cup' mentioned in above posts is happening, with some of the leaves starting to stand up at an angle.

 

[KaliKitsune]

Trichromes have started to form (check near bottom-center)

YES, I SEE THE BUG. It's been dealt with.

 

[strangerdude562]

so are you doing 12/12 from seed?

 

[KaliKitsune]

No, I'm not doing 12/12 from seed.

This is clearly mentioned several times. Besides, 12/12 from seed, considering the plant is over 6 weeks old, you'd think it'd be taller than the three inches it's currently at.

 

[KaliKitsune]

Well, here come the trichromes!!!!

Still under 17/7 so this has to be some autoflowering variety.

 

[KaliKitsune]

Update, with a picture of both plants! Side lamp turned off for picture quality.

The little one is still flowering, not stretching (big surprise considering how far away it is from both lamps!) and just doing whatever it pleases. The larger one has grown quite a bit since I transplanted it. It is well over a foot tall and I say I think I'm going to go ahead and drop the lights to 12/12 within a week. This plant is ready for flowering and might as well get going to it!

So I've changed out half my bulbs in the closet. I moved from 6500K to 3000K and moved the timer to 12/12. The difference in color temperature is VERY obvious.
