    Preflowers? Male/Female? Too soon?

    Thanks for that pic Randy, that's pretty much what I have, but the balls on the lower stems that have them aren't that large yet. I took some new pictures this morning of the top node, there are clusters that weren't there yesterday. The pictures came out better this time.

    Preflowers? Male/Female? Too soon?

    I'll try taking the pictures again. The plants sprouted about 5 weeks ago give or take a few days.

    Preflowers? Male/Female? Too soon?

    I've got 2 plants going. I put them into flower on Saturday night. Yesterday I noticed these tiny ball things on some of the branch stems. I tried to get the best pictures I could, but my camera and phone both can't get clear pics up close. Are they preflowers? Are the plants male or female...

    1st CFL grow, advice on setup?

    White poster/foam board might work. Cut it to fit the sides of the cage and tie them to it. I've got an art desk in my closet that I'm going to turn into a growbox by enclosing the bottom with white foam board with holes for intake and exhaust fans.-InXanity

    The Hempy Collective

    I started using Hempy Buckets almost 2 months ago after reading this entire thread. After a few setbacks, fixing some problems, and half a dozen dead seedlings later I've got 2 plants going right now. They've been in 12/12 since Friday. I LOVE HEMPY BUCKETS. Once I stopped being a complete...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    Finally some new pics. My digital camera died so I took them with my new cell phone. I put them into 12/12 on Friday night, although Saturday the lights stayed on longer than I wanted, my wife works overnights and got up late so I couldn't get into the closet long enough before the lights...

    I'll be putting some more pics up tonight. Since the last pictures a week ago the plants have practically doubled in size. I've raised the lights for the 3rd time since Saturday this morning. Today also marks Day 1 of 12. My light schedule was off at around midnight and back on at 6AM (give...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    No pics yet but they've had some explosive growth almost overnight! I finished off the gallon of water with nutes I had. Tomorrow I'm going to increase the strength some more. Depending on how they look in a week I'm going to switch them to 12/12 and start flowering. I'm praying that at...

    Here's the new pictures. I'm going to look around for another runoff tray so I can center the plants under the sets of 4 lights.

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    It's been almost a month since my last update. I currently have 2 plants left from the 4 that sprouted and it's been about 3 weeks since I put them in HBs. One plant is a little smaller than the other having one less set of leaves. Both plants are showing some nice new growth at the nodes. I...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    I thought about just going directly to the HBs but I planted 6 seeds in the AG on Saturday. I just took a look at them, 4 of the 6 are sprouted. One came up nicely, the other 3 I had to play with a bit. The seed casings seemed to be making them get stuck trying to push up out of the...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    I figured out the problem with the AG. The reason that one of the pods wasn't getting water was because the desk I had it on is slightly tilted. This was making it so that water wasn't making it to one corner. I'm thinking that I'll start the seeds in the AG and then transplant them into Hempy...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    Over the weekend I'm going to get rid of the plants and get set up for another shot. I'm going to do away with the growbox for now and just grow on the art desk in the closet. The window in the closet doesn't open so there's no ventilation other than cracking the door and having a fan blowing...

    I PH'd the water before every watering to about 6-6.2 so that wasn't the problem.

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    My first attempt at growing is done. My soil plant's leaves are dieing from the bottom of the plant up. The first set of leaves (not the seedling leaves) turned brown and died and the second set is starting to do the same. The 2 plants I have in the hempy buckets aren't doing well either...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    I went ahead and popped 3 seeds into the AG last night. Not sure yet what I'm going to do with them. I'll either veg them for a few weeks and transplant or just try flowering with it. Both seeds in the rockwool are now sprouted, one is standing up nice, but the other was laying horizontal...

    Looks good, BigD. :) Remember, it's puff puff pass!

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    I'm using distilled water. I think what happened with the HB is when I took the plant out of the soil and put it in the perlite the roots weren't spread out. Probably strangled itself. I made 2 more hempy buckets for the new seedlings today. Tomorrow the silicone I used should be dry and...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    I made a new lid for my tote. I changed the orientation of the powerstrips with the CFLs and put a 6 inch desk fan in the very center. Temps are holding steady around 77 F (plus or minus a few degrees) with the lights on with the humidity around 40% on average. The thermometer is sitting on...

    First Grow - CFLs - Bagseed

    My larger plant is looking a little better this evening. The leaves aren't quite as curled and the 3rd set of leaves doubled in size since this morning. The smaller plant that I changed to a Hempy Bucket isn't doing so well. The perlite was dry so I watered again. On a brighter note, both...
