Ok so it has officially been 3 weeks since they poked their heads out of the ground, I gave them 1/2 strength shultz 10/15/10 liquid plant food today as well as bought some molasses and I was considering some Natures Creation 3/3/3 organic ferts with mycro(...)fungi, anyone heard of this?

Here's some pics of the new HPS system with the light turned off.

Ok so I was inspecting the plants, and I think I found a preflower on one of them, how is this possible? They have been on 24/7 light since sprouting. I am trying a find a better camera so I can get a closeup of the hair. It is just 1 hair on the plant coming out by the nodes.

The Girls will LOVE you and reward you for buying that HPS.

They look really healthy, at this rate your going to get a great harvest.

Thanks dude I couldn't have done it without this site, it has really taught me a lot. I really wanted to stay all CFL but with how cheap that HPS was and how well it lights with 150w compared to 6 CFL's it was well worth the money.

Alrighty, there has been a lot of growth under the new 150w HPS light paired with 8 26w CFL's, here is a few pics at Day 24, I will start 12/12 on Wednesday.

Here is a pic of each plant, and a side shot with each plant.

I went to the Home Depot and bought a sheet of metal from the heating and cooling dept. I then bought flat white high temp paint, some nuts and bolts, and hooks to hang the reflector, I bought an L bracket to attach the HPS bulb, I cut the metal to the size reflector I wanted, then using a 2x4 I bent the metal into the shape I wanted, drilled holes from the nuts and bolts and walaa.

Ok well they are big enough now to put into 12/12. Tonight at 10 the lights go dark. I will definitely keep everyone updated for the next week.

So before I was going to put into 12/12 I wanted to inspect after I made that last post and... Pic attached, look right in the middle, where I fimmed the plant theres a long white hair coming out and on the other side are two white hairs that you cannot see. This is my biggest and bushiest plant so I am naturally very excited. Sorry for the crappy pic quality but its the only camera I have.

There is one long hair on the left, and two small hairs on the right, as well as a couple more hairs a bit lower down that you cannot see.

damn that looks like it could be a pistol but, it kinda looks like its might be the light hitting the stipule just right. the first pic i saw some potential but its kind blur at teh preflower site. so imma say im about 80% sure thats a girl

try this put a white peice of paper behind your plant where ur taking the picture this will cause the camera to auto focus more on the plant instead of the back lighting
