Soil: FFOF Containers: BPA Free 5 Gallon Buckets Water(purified):Plants Watered Once Every 4-5 Days Strains:Unknown x 3 (One is Tall, one is medium, one is short.) Veg Period: 3 months with slight FIM/Topping throughout Present Flowering Length: 50 Days Temp/RH:70-80 F / RH 39-50% Estimated...

I've been using Grandma's Molasses at 2 Tablespoons per Gallon mixed very well every other watering. I water every 4-5 Days alternating between purified water and molasses water each time. I actually flushed lastnight as my first plan of action, just waiting it out for signs of improvement etc...

Away for a few days and leaves are spotted on only about four top most larger/older leaves. Some are also curling downward/inward and are dry/brittle starting from leaf tips towards the the bottom only on the larger/older leaves. Have not used any fert., only FFOF from start and recent molasses...

Easy enough; thanks for the details man.

I got it and agree, lights are the key factor. So your yield should be about what you're expecting I imagine. About the lights with your stealth op; how did you mount/supply power to them etc? I seen your previous pic but it only had bulbs showing (Late Nov 12 Post).

:confused: If your friend only yielded a half with the same strain @ 2ft; is expecting around 3/4oz. wishing for too much with only a 1 foot plant? I'm just fine tuning my skills on how to tell a plants yield straight from photographs. What do you other RUI users think?

Now that it comes to mind, does 3oz from the three plants pictured above seem like a reasonable estimate? Agree? More? Less?

I feel as though I have been pretty lucky as a first time grower. I just hope the colas double or more in size for maximum harvest scaling in @ approx. 3 ounces hopefully(finger crossed). They have swollen/bulked up alot in a few weeks. :weed:

:bigjoint:Thanks for the feedback NG.

Anyone who is a member on RIU should know that or they don't belong here, lol. The 3 Flourescent lights are higher to accommodate the tallest of the three plants with only about 1.5 inches clearance from the lights themselves.

See Above Information - Thanks

4 x 24" Flourescent Lights(Three Above Plants & One In A Corner Vertically) Additional lighting comes from 6 x CFL(100w Equiv.) lights placed all aroung the plants symetrically for even light and overall broader light spectrum. In the pics I have removed all CFLs from line of sight as they would...

Do these look like they're coming along okay? Just started to use molasses, I've only added it twice using 2 TBSP per Gallon with watering every 4-5 days. Containers: BPA Free 5 Gallon Buckets Soil: FFOF Water(purified):Plants Watered Once Every 4-5 Days Strains:Unknown x 3 (One is Tall...

Looking good so far, LST seems to be going well also. What soil/mix are you using and do you plan on utilizing the "FIM" technique?

Read the entire thread for the most up-to-date info/pics. The very first pictures posted were low quality to say the least, and since then that has been addressed.

Appreciate the feedback! The only soil I have used has been FFOF with the main focus on being as totally organic as I can. Now that flowering has begun I am really curious about using Blackstrap Unsulfured Molasses by Botanicare as my first soil supplement. Have you used molasses yourself...

4 days since the last post - only three plants remain. 5 out of 8 ended up being males and the remaining three are all coming along at different intervals just past the first week of 12/12 (Day 10 of 12/12 cycle.) Note that the first sign of pistils were just 4 days into flowering. Let me know...

:bigjoint: Thanks for all the valuable inforamtion and links GWN!

Good idea, I will look into this today. I wonder if I should just hack the males down, mix them into the soil/root ball, then just secure the 5-gal bucket lids so everything is self contained for the short-term. Sound good? Any simple/low cost compost ideas (I have no yard/lawn of my own)?

Thanks for the quick reply - I have to consider if these males are worth it. Other than that I have to figure out a 100% stealthy way to dispose of the males/soil; any recommendations as how to do this? Should I dump off a little here and a little there at commercial trash cans or just sack the...
