Also my extreme prunage didn't kill my test plant. The top is working succesfully, and it is now growing two main branches, instead of one :)

I use a phone camera, the charger of which was left at another house about 80miles away ^^. That's why I can't post pics atm. But will get some up tomorrow! Promise! :roll::mrgreen:

Got my cam charged up and ready to go, sorry for the blurring, I'm a bit unsteady today.

Aiko - Day 41


I still have to finish the reflector for this setup, just a bare bulb at the moment. But anything is better than those crappy flouro tubes I had.

150watt, high pressure sodium is in it at the moment; all the store had.

Oh, one of the plants in there is the test plant. Uprooted and had a root trim... It's definitely gonna be a male if it doesn't hermie, lol. So evil to the plant but the dirt was just full of gnats so no more soil growin'.

I keep forgetting to add this, should have said it weeks ago.

watering schedule for aiko (the only one remaining in soil)

I water once every 2-3weeks, with straight tap water with the chlorine evaporated.

I meant weeks. The soil doesn't even start to get dry till about a week after I water. I know the plant is healthy, so I'm not changing anything. It's my 2footer we're talkin'bout.

But then again I practically flush the medium whenever I water; the coir absorbs a ton of water, while the slow-release nutes get slowly washed away, should be pretty clean by flowering time.

yea, i hear you, i wouldn;t change anything either. but you gotta admit it seems kind of weird for a plant that grows so fast.

Yeah actually I did think that was strange, it grows a lot but it does not really drink water very fast. It's in the sun all day too, superior lighting, and it is just taking its good ol' time.

Oh, hey. Aiko's a female, w00t!!



I can't actually show ya high-res pics of the sites showing sex, don't have a mag glass. But I read plants ~double in size throughout flowering? Oh It's gonna be a beast, lol.

Oh, the root trim I gave the one plant didn't kill it at least. lol. Also one sprout going in it now. I germinated this seed for over a week using the "shotglass method" or whatever it is. It never did crack, so, I tossed it into the rockwool as a 'last chance to wake the hell up' type deal. It popped up outta there in under 24hours and has it's second set of leaves growing already.

Will post a few pics of the hydro crap tommorow when lights come back on.

btw for anyone who wants to know - I don't have a tds or ph meter, or any ph -+. Kinda wingin' it.

Well, I've got a 26watt cfl and a 150watt hps above it, the two flouro tubes are for a bit of under-coverage. I would put them in the air right beside the plant, but I have nothing to hang them with.

Also, soon putting another 26watt cfl above; don't have a fixture for it at the moment. The cfl's are 100watt equivalent.

why not prop them up vertically on either side of the plant. i put cfl's on the sides of my plant and they took off.
