they look good man! ever few days they will get used to the tention on them and loosen up a bit, after that you can bend them farther over if you want, the second one looks like it needs to be bent a little more but it should be fine

hey glass I open the door up every day and use a fan. well I was able to sex them and I was able to tell the males. took six males out last night. Being new I was going crazy but I learned what to look for. guys this is fun. yes I got lucky with my space and didnt cost that much. well on the way, will keep you updated. Im learning so much. Huge grow for first time. A bit scary, big crop you know. they like the fan and new air 6 hours a day.

looks good to me. Just move them to a bigger space where the roots can grow and your set.

yea the kink will heal and shouldnt effect your plant much, when it heals it will be a super strong reinforced joint in the stem.

heres my second atempt at LST. this is the first clone that actually rooted for me, these pics were taken right when i did it, updates are in my grow journal. mind you my cat knocked over my fan, broke the top off and some branches... think i already said that... sorry.

If you made the lights sideways, i believe you would get more light exposure, and get more head room for the plants. Also, I have read that miracle grow soil is very acidic, and has killed seedlings flat out, or at least stunted them, so when you transplant you might want to check out a more stable soil option. Check out my progress thread in my sig, might give you some ideas on a box. Good luck!

^^^ whos using miracle grow?

miracle grow is known for causing flipper babys from the people that work in the factories. i know i dont want to smoke anything that can cause flipper babys...

i have seen many cases where miracle grow works find for about a month. then the plants just died...

i would use anything but miracle grow.... ANYTHING.

and yes side lighting is a very good way to start new growth in the branches and bush out the plants more. but i dont have room on the sides of my plants to put lights in on the sides... when growing one or two plants in a decent sized area i would get some of those clamp on light sockets with the y splits and clamp them all around the sides of my plants. just suround them!

thats good! it worked for me on my first grow, but i didnt get to see that through to the end. i have just gone off what i have been told by growers i know that have experienced the bad results off mg. but then again the first people that told me that were... and still are kinda just retarded about this kind of shit. im sure if you take good care of them theyle be fine. mg has alot of draining problems but cuz you mixed the verm with it it should be fine.

but if you can get better soil i would.

ok i found a computer with a firewire cable input on it!!
so the first 2 pics are of the one i think is hermed
the other pic is of the entire plant..
the 4th pic is showing the burn damage on some of the leafs(thos ones got clipped)
and the final pic show both of them..
the next day i looked at em and the other one started showin hairs..i hope its not herm!
if it isnt..would it be ok to build a wall in between the 2 plants ...or will that still risk pollination?

first one is a hermi for sure. i would make sure you have 2 seperate areas for it, section off both corners of the closet and have one in each, cut off all the balls you can find on the hermi and see if you cant keep it under controll for the most part. just make sure you take off as many as you can find.

it dont matter now one of the guys that lives there didnt pay electric bill and it got shut off so unless they brought the plants next too a window there most likely dead...and so will be that irresponsible fucker when i get ahold of him..not only that but a few days a go my parents found out about em, typical dad was ok with it mom was and still is pissed...so im still glad that i moved em when i did
