Do these plants look ok? 3 weeks flowering Will they fill in?

giblet100 · Jun 25, 2010

Hey all. I have a few plant growing seed type unknown but they were the "bonus" seeds from my WW order. Saving those for when I know what I'm doing ;-)

I started the plants up until yesterday under 90w triband UFOs from HTG with 3 65W Fluorex CFLs and 3 other 23w cfls clip ons AND a 48" fluro with one soft and one natural bulb. I vegged for too long so I took up too much growth in the space. I did a hack job at LSTing about a week ago on the largest plant. I wish I knew what the strains were on these plants!

I broke down and bought a 400w hps and added it to 2 triband 90w UFOs, and one 65w Fuorex CFL yesterday but in the meantime I'm looking for feedback on how these look.
I'll update the post with the images.

I vegged for around a month or so before flowering.(abit late but i didn't know the bonus seed strains)

Miracle Grow organic potting soil (all i could get at the time)
3 gal containers
No nutes during veg as MG had it in it already
24 hr veg
Now on 12/12 flower (approx 3 weeks)
Started with MG bloom ferts for 3 weeks and just switched to BC Bloom and the combo of vitamins and carbs and shit.
Ph is around 7
78-80 day
75 night
50% humidity (i have a mini-dehumidifier and a few moisture absorbon bags)
I keep the leds only a few inches away and the hps about 10".
It only happened maybe 2 times but I had a light accident where the digital timer clkicked on during the dark time for a few hours. I was more worried about hermies but maybe the light issue has something to do with it?

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I just replanted the largest plant to a 5 gal container. Also used a little Superthrive to help with stress.

welcome giblet100 - your plants look pretty good, and yes, they will fill in a lot as the plant matures.

hey tundra - why you jacking other people's threads? anyway, you need more light of the right color or you're gonna produce squat.

mconn333 · Jun 25, 2010

throw a few more of the stronges 2700K cfl's u can find. and ur only at 3 weeks flowering so be patient. ur doing pretty ur plants look healthy. maybe try 1tbs molasses to a gal water feed with that. its like a carbohydrate for plants, mj loves it

giblet100 · Jun 25, 2010

thanks desertrat! that's the best news i've had all day!

Carl Spackler · Jun 25, 2010

Sounds like ample light to me and they appear to be on schedule to fill in and gain weight. My 4 SLH and 2 Cheese are just short of 2 wks. into flower with just one 400w HPS on a daily "sweet spot" rotation in the same size containers as yours and they look slightly less developed than yours. My 4th indoor grow if that is and indicator. Would not even think of estimating yield as that is a game for morons but looks like you are doing everthing well without overthinking it or, worse yet overdoing it

giblet100 · Jun 25, 2010

Thanks for the feedback Carl! I can't imagine not having enough light with 400w hps 2 triband 90w ufos (one is red with and blue, the other is orange red and blue), a crappy led 33w panel (red/orange and blue) plus the fluorex 6w (6500k- not sure if i should leave that or go with 2 23w 2700k mid canopy lights) i only have 3 plants and it's a 4x4 space.

desertrat · Jun 25, 2010

your plants don't look light-starved, but just fyi, you want to shoot for 7,000 - 10,000 lumens per square foot of growing area for flowering.

MG will never harvest you a crop of medicinal quality, no matter what...try roots organic next time if you can get it.

stealing others threads you mean by asking him a question cus im in the same situation?

giblet100 · Jun 26, 2010

As far as the MG. I DID mix 1/4 sand and 1/4 perlite with it but I hear you. Next time Fox Farm (if i can get it) I hate the time release nutes because of the "hot spots". I've definitely learned a lot over the last 3 months.

Lil Czr · Jun 26, 2010

Yeah, those will fill in nicely in a few weeks.

That looks to be sativa dominate at least, which meant that it's gonna take a while to fill in and finish up.

Around week 5 or 6 she'll should be looking real nice.

Good job.

giblet100 · Jun 26, 2010

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Does anyone think i should bother adding a 150w hps i have laying around to this grow or based on the lighting i listed keep it the way it is?

giblet100 · Jun 27, 2010

I just added the 150w hps as side lighting. i might as well use it since i have it.

Foreverstoned · Jun 27, 2010

Yeah more lights definitely cannot hurt as long as you keep your temps in check.

Honestly if I were you I'd use the 150 watt as additional lighting on the top, then when you are ready to harvest just chop off all the top buds and lower your lights to hit the lower, less mature buds.

giblet100 · Jun 30, 2010

I've discovered a problem and i don't know what it is. Here's a pic from my digital micro scope.

giblet100 · Jul 10, 2010

everybody,

Adding some new pics of the fourth week. The bag seed girl (first 3 pics) looks so much healthier and under the same conditions. Starting to wonder why i paid for seeds at all

. Next time I'll create a proper journal.

Comments anyone?

Hi All,

I think one of my plants may be a landrace. Can someone chime in on this?

here's what mine looks like looks like

here's the one i found on the web

Any thoughts? does anyone agree?

Thanks!

btw: this grew out of one of my bonus seeds from a ww order from a different company.

giblet100 · Jul 13, 2010

Just thought i'd post a few pics in my thread. I hope someone gives me feedback!

The first pick is just the top cola of a 5' or so plant strain unknown. there are two of those colas on it

of course everything i post is fictional! :-D

giblet100 · Jul 15, 2010

I'm getting impatient with this first time grow. have switched to 13 dark 11 light cycle. The indica looking girl is as solid as a rock. I used bag seed for her. The sativa looking girls look like they'll need a few more months! Any thoughts about thaT? Any feedback would be appreciated!
