First Grow ever with 6 Strains 400w MH&HPS

kphy · Dec 5, 2008

Hi everyone, this is my first grow and I would appreciate it if anyone can help guide me throughout my grow.

I am growing 6 Stains that I got from Mj-seeds.nl's premium seed mix and so far they seem to be doing well. They are now about a month old. I'm going for an all organic grow.

Here are the materials that I am using:

Medium: Foxfarm's Ocean Forest Soil
Light: 400w MH (Veg) 400w HPS (Flowering)
Nutrients/Fertilizers: Foxfarm's Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom.
Location: Indoor Grow Tent
Ventilation: 80 CFM 4 in" Duct fan

I've read guides about topping and feeding them so here are my results in the pictures below.

need help with determining pre-flowering. When does a plant show that?

motoracer110 · Dec 5, 2008

they look great you should notice the sex by the 10-14th day of flowering

motoracer110 · Dec 5, 2008

you also have to turn the lights to 12hrs on 12hrs off to get flowering

also i am about to purchase a grow tent for my next grow and was wondering the brand of yours and where you purchased it? I am wondering because i read that some companies tents are killing the plants with the PVC material that it is made out of and yours are doing great.

Yeah sure. Here is the tent i purchased, the max of plants you can put in would be six
(3 gallons).

I' don't know if they're safe or not but as you said, the plants seem to be doing great.

I've been setting the lights on 12/12 but none of the plants seem to show any sign of pre-flowering or anything. plants have been vegging for 7-8 weeks already. I will post pics later for you guys to determine it's sex or not.

Thank you

Update: Week 8/ 3rd day of flowering

Noticed a problem with one of the plants, seemed like it was overfed and caused a nute lockout so I flushed that one plant and now waiting for it to recover.

Saw Signs of Sex today
Noticed a cone shaped Calyx on 2 of the 6 plants, which means it will mainly become a female. I saw balls in one of my plants and decided to put it outside and for sure knows it's a male. so far right now..I have 2 females and one males out of the 6 plants right now.

Here are the pics below:

Here are updates on the plants, the biggest and oldest one is looking a little dead. I've been feeding it water only because I've just flushed it.
The other two showed signs of pistils and flowering.
