First Grow Op: Med-Large Closet

very nice mate, lets see some updated pictures!!!

I got my friend's camera!!! I'll post some new pics on saturday, cause tomorrow I'm heading right to poker after work and I'll prolly end up crashing there cause I'll be drinking and tokin'

Very nice lad!

Yes, I finally got some great new high res pics! You guys are going to love these pics! I'm so proud of how well they are doing; it's awesome to see a very healthy plant. Just so you know, the brown pots are 1 gallon pots and the black ones are 2 gallon.

I'm only allowed to post 5 attachments with this post, so I'm going to make another post with the rest of the pics

Here are the rest of the pictures... enjoy Please feel free to post your feedback. I'd appreciate it if you could explain a little bit about what you like specifically about the pics.

TillthedayiDIE420: Dude, it's pretty sad when your signature is 4 times larger than the body of your post. If you really appreciate my posts, then please take the time to write more than one sentance.

Today I noticed the plants were starting to grow tall enought that I had to raise the light! Three of my plants had a little over feeding done and were showings signs of leaf tip curling down and yellowing of the leaves. I flushed the plants with 2-3 times in volume of water compared to the container. They are recovering nicely.

As the plants grow taller, I am removing the fan leaves to help promote growth for clones. It's working great! I plan on cloning some of the plants this weekend. I find its best to cut the fan leaves about 1" away from the stem to prevent the node from getting damnaged.

wow looks like your babies are really taking off! maybe i missed something but what kind of nutes are you using? and i havent seen anyone take fan leaves off this early, is this only for promoting healthy clones or are there other benefits? i cant wait to see those suckers flower!

They look very heathly. might just be me but they look a bit small (short) for 50 days.

Today I have taken the first clones from A2 and T2. I also have clones of X3, however I don't have any pics. My friend took his camera back yesterday. Within 1 week the clones should have a root system developed, and by two weeks they should be ready for transplanting.

On the weekend I bought a 16" oscillating fan. This fan is huge for the size of area I have it in. It's far more than I need, and I doubt that's a bad thing . I had to adjust the light up two notches again. I've been feeding the plants water only for the last week since the detection of the over feeding. Today they looked like they are needing nutes now so I fed them a gentle dose of nutes. The younger plants have amazing growth in the stem...they seriously look like tree trunks! I'm going to be purchasing a digital camera soon since I had no idea the demand I'd have for pics. I also wasn't expecting such noticable growth from these plants! It definately keeps it interesting and exciting.

The clones are doing well. I've been misting them daily and while they don't look any different, they don't look like they're dying . The clones are on my shelf under the T5FL for 16 hours a day. I'm anxious to take more cuttings since there are so many of them available for cutting off the plants. I think I'm going to stop by the hydro store for another dome and a parabolic hood for my HID.

Today I've noticed lots of growth. The plants are doing well and responded well to the nutes from yesterday. Today I watered without nutes. T2 was under the HID hot spot and it showed signs of over heating so I moved it away from the light. I placed a bowl of water under the hotspot instead. The clones are looking sad. The leaves have all drooped down and the stems are starting to bend over on its side. Part of me thinks this is normal, but part of me also thinks this could be a sign of bad health. I'm not sure so I'm going to check my resources tonight. If anyone knows what this means please feel free to comment.

Today I've begun the flowering cycle by setting timer to be on from 12pm to 12am. I've currently got the clones on the shelf above which is still being supplied by 18 hours of light from the T5 FL. To prevent light pollution during flowering I've taken a left over piece of black/white poly plastic and wrapped it around the shelf. It's not a good permanent solution, and it's a great temporary solution! I took some pics of the plants and attached them below.

I'm amazed at how fast the sex has grown. The sex of the plants is now visible. I was expecting a 2-3 week wait but its only been 4 days! So it turns out I have great news! I have 3 healthy females and the best part is each one is a different strain! So that means I have 5 males. I've also checked on the clones and they are doing well! New shoots have started to appear and I'm going to transplant them Tomorrow. I have taken clones from A2, T2 and X3. I know that A2 and X3 are female and T2 is male. No biggy.. I'm planning on putting the mothers back into vegging once they've completed their flowering cycle. That's all for now

Those look great dude great job.

Things are great! On the past Sunday I transplanted my clones, about 6 of them. With my other plants, I found out that I misjudged one of the males.. which means I have 4 females and 4 males! Awesome... so I removed the males and spread out the females. I've bumped up the dosage of the vegging ferts for the next week, then I switch to bloom ferts.

Not much happened this past week. The growth of the four females has slowed significantly and the hairs are slowly growing. It's now the beginning of the third week of flowering and I've switched up my vegging ferts (DNF Gro A & B 500ml) to flowering ferts (DNF Bloom A & B 500ml). I'm currently watering at a ratio of 5ml per Litre of water as suggested by the guide. I've put the oscillating fan on a timer that switches on and off 3 times per 24 hour cycle. I've still got the exhaust fan running 24/7 and I'll continue to until the flowering is done. Planning on purchasing a CAN Filter CAN50 active carbon filter and a ether spritzer. The total estimated is $400; fortunately I have found myself some investors

Hey good job. Quick question, why did you clone before you knew the sex? Im a noob but it would seem more sensible to clone after you find out which are the females, right?

The plants are looking great! No sign of insects, bugs or infections. I had to raise the light another 4" . All the females are showing great bud production. X3 is looking the best and I'm guessing will have the fattest cola.

OhYesTheDopeMan: Thanks for the question. The reason I cloned before I knew the sex was so that I could save on the time growing the next batch. Once the plants are doing flowering (in about 4 weeks) I'm going to switch the lights back to 18 hours on and 6 hours off. This will change my females into mothers and the clones I already have started will be able to veg during this phase. Also I will harvest some clones off the mothers while the other clones are already in their vegging stage. It also helps reduce the chances I will loose a female plant due to disease. This was not necessary as I have many more seeds and I also have these females which I will turn into mothers. I wanted to learn by experience in case there was any problems. I probably won't use these clones as I now have four successful mothers.

Hey, I know it has been a really long time since I've posted on here. For some reason the good weather is causing me to be much more busier than normal . Overall the plants are perfect! No problems at all and they are looking fucking sexy! I plan on harvesting in 1.5 to 2 weeks from now. If all goes as planned, the crop will be ready for May 2-4 weekend

I've attached some pics... Cheers!
