the first pic above is the one that went all male on me. lol i will have new pics up this sunday on day 20 of veg. but that one showed male sex in 11 days, so i am hoping that the other two will show FEM sex before sunday. if these two show male i will be super pissed.

so i added some more light today now i am running 4 34 watt and 5 26watt CFLs and added some tin reflectors to give it just a bit more shine on lower branches :)

Dude you'll get a 1/4 if you have any indy pheno's I'm willing to be you'll get some where near a half ounce off of each. I got atleast 14 grams a piece off my 12/12 from seed grow and my gigabud yielded me damn near an ounce I think it was like 24 grams so 4 grams off an ounce. DON'T BURN them my man. Have you bought any ferts for this go round?

What kind of light fixture is that? Like the exact brand name? I've been looking for something like that for a while.

GFK- no i still have half a bottle od HESI big bloom soil mix but i am not going to use it this grow. just going to give it some reg nutes and try to keep it from dying on me lol

AKILLEEZ- its now really name/ off brand. just a lot of work light from home depot and a lot of "Y" splitters.

hey casper... sorry i havent commented your grow yet... i honestly did not even realize this was your grow... as much as you have commented mine, its my turn to return the favor... so here i go...

your setup is real nice... you have definitely shown me a way to make a great flowering box (the trash can idea)... i will probably line it with something reflective and light proof it, but i like the height it allows... your rubbermaid was sweet too... didnt really like the second setup you went for... it felt like your were trying to consolidate your grow... which does make sense... it is just not as stealthy as the rubbermaid, or the trash can could have been... but it does seem to do the job so whatever is clever...

with the nutes, i have no advice... i have not really been using a whole lot of nutes personally... just enough to get by... i am really wanting to see how that sativa of yours turned out... my plant that grew nuts looked identical to that one... i have more of the seeds and yeah... pretty much just wanted to see its flowers... i LOVED your lst jobs on all your plants... that is how i plan on LSTing mine in the future... but maybe in a rectangular shaped container and and just sorta spiraling it till it is filled then flower it... i just put another seed into the soil last nite... due to my harvest date on my current grow, i figure that about the time i harvest, my new one will show sex under 12 and 12 about the same time,then i will prolly add another seed when that sexes (remember, i want perpetual)... just trying to lock my times in to the best of my ability... i think once i harvest my current baby, i will prolly switch my lights back to 18/6 or maybe even 24/0... have you noticed a diffrence between the two in vegging? have you tried both yet? i went 24/0 for my last sprout, and was not really impressed with the amount of growth i got from it (i ended up ditching it and focusing on the two i had (one which grew balls))... well anyways man... good luck with your grow and sending you some green kharma from the boot...

24/0 is good for rooting only. 20/4 is good and I personally found that 18/6 is the best IMO. The plants need time to sleep like us to regain energy to collect those lumens. ;-)
