The bud porn is fantastic! An that one that stretched out is a monster! And the little plants are doing better I did some more research and treated them for different deficiencies and my conclusions from that was over watering caused droopiness and yellowing and when I foliar fed them awhile back it burned the old growth but the new growth now has no burns or black spots at all thank god!and good luck on the sell bro:peace::blsmoke:View attachment 3279859View attachment 3279860 View attachment 3279862
Ya I had a feeling it was something in your spray bottle. They look better today. I don't want to sound like a broken record but I am sure I warned you about that FF soil and that you shouldn't have to feed or do anything to them plants for a while. Well you're on your way now and as long as you don't give them a fatal dose of nutes it's going to be pretty hard to kill them. I sold 2 zips for 400.00 so I went and ordered 2 super blue MH and 2 super red HPS bulbs and 400.00 gone like that.

You definitely did warn me that no fert was good cause the soil had it all but I like to mess with shit to get my own understanding you know, except I didn't mean to overwater them but now I've held off the water and they are back to reachin for the sky! And I don't know where the flowers will come in on the stem could you help me point out where they will pop? And congrats on the sold zips those lights will rock to show a pic when you get them set up.image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg

The new lights are for my next grow and I'm not going to use the tents(just not enough room)and instead I will drape my spare bedroom with mylar and put both hoods in there and see if I can grow 12 big ones under 1200w. Without the height restriction I can move them plants around and put small ones on box's and shit like that in a tent it's hard to even water them. Your plants are to small yet to have any bud sites but in a week there should be some and I will show you what that looks like with a pic if I can find a good one. Those CFL's you got certainly have a lot of blue light as your getting very short nodes and that is good if you want a short plant. I always hate selling weed because I am doing this for myself and thats MY WEED but I need them bulbs.

Lol that's my weed! Your an original, man 9 out of 10 people wanna sell there stuff and it sounds like you wanted to scream that at whoever you sold to lol. Those CFls are fantastic but they are putting off some heat the temp in the closet is hitting 83 and the blades on the leaves started curling from heat/wind damage so I moved the fan and now it's cooler cause I moved the lights 4 1/2 inches away and the plants aren't doing the taco, I added some extra iron in to for safe measure to.

I just put them between a few sheets of paper towel on a plate with just tap water and in a day or so check and hopefully they all crack. Why start another thread? but thats up to you.
We might see some first of the season snow tomorrow where I am in Canada. I hope it doesn't get too cold out tonight as I am still getting fresh air for tents from outside.

Ok and I'll just keep it on here. I am excited to have some Seedbank seeds and kinda nervous, I'm still not 100% on mixing nutes per gallon so if you've got some pointers I'd really appreciate the tips. And if you've got some tried and true techniques for indicas let me know I'll listen this time lol. I've only seen snow 3 times in person so good luck durin Winter up there man I'm a sunny an 75 kinda guy.

If you start from seed the plants should be able to survive without food for 1 week and if you use FF soil then wait at least 1 1/2 weeks before food or unless there is a deficiency. But I also said that my wife say's I'm stingy but I have been growing them kush for a while and in the end less is better. I grew up with cold and snowy winters and love them, the colder and snowier the better. I haven't grown many Sativas but there really is no difference it is still a plant and will require the same love and care as a idica, They grow tall if you let them.

Awesome simple and sweet you'd do great in the military, loving freezing cold weather helps lol. I only have one more 5 gal bucket and no money so one seed is all I can do unless I kill one of the Colorado plants ,which I don't want to do, and use it's old bucket. Thoughts or if you have somthing better let er rip. Here are the pretties too.image.jpg image.jpgimage.jpg

Yes thats more like it they look alot better today. I hate running short on cash because it forces me to sell which puts me at risk. If you can wait until you get some money then thats what I would do as you got 3 going already and the end of the month is only a week away. You don't want to do something on the spur of the moment as that is always a bad idea and you don't want to waste them seeds.
Looking great bro.

I had to move the lights up agin and I misted all the leaves with just spring water and they got huge in like an hour and a half, I guess the leaves got super crisp under those CFls. And I'll take your advice and chill on these 4 or at least until I can tell the gender I got plenty of supplies till next payday too so no worries. The black has been germing for about 7 hours now, I put 2ml of some voodoo juice and spring water on the starter cube for extra crazy root madness. And thanks for the props man how's the fine and lovely OG doin this mornin?

Well the tent with the ones well into flower are still sleeping and the second tent with the untouched ones are flowering good now and just went to sleep. I will post some pics later on today. The smell from both tents is awesome.
Ya you will be pulling up them lamps every few days or so. I don't know why you got dry leaves as that should not happen from a cfl as they just don't put out that much heat. But you seem to have it under control now. You keep doing little thing that may help but more than likely will only cause problems like adding voodoo juice to a germinating seed. All a seed needs is water anything else and you're almost guaranteed to kill it. Voodoo juice is a root stimulant and a seed has no roots. The key here is that a new plant needs nothing for the first week especially any kind of fertilizer and stimulants should only be used if there is a problem and you have a good root structure in place already. But this is your first grow and I understand curiosity and be prepared for some lose thats all apart of learning. I posted some new pics yesterday in my thread, https://www.rollitup.org/t/new-grows-looking-nice.847063/page-2#post-10999870 not much has changed but I'll see in a few hrs about the second tent.

Your og is looking superb bud! And the black has germed and is about to push off the seed, really happy with the taproot development. I'm glad these seeds are legit was worried from some bad reviews but everything is taking off really well, and is it almost time to crop them or should I just wait?image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

the seed came off and now it's tryin to open up, pretty fast germ and sprout and it's lookin healthy. I might kill off one Colorado plant as it's not doing so well an id rather get the purp going full tilt( cause I love me some purp like you love og).

Awsome news today I have found pistils on both Colorado plants!! Hopefully they aren't hermies but right now it's all white pistils baby and they are starting to get a very funky smell. Your og is starting to look ripe me amigo, you'll have to describe how she smokes when she's all done here are some pistol pics. The pistils are at the very top I don't know if you can see emimage.jpg
