Jar Seed Grow..CFL

[kRoNikLy420]

Hi all..Well I rekkon I will begin with my set-up and items used.
The seeds are from some Great Looking buds but it had seeds. Good for me I guess.

Shelf is 30'' tall 31'' deep 2' across, and can be converted to 5 or 7 foot tall if needed.

Lighting...As of right now 4 27w CFL's and 2 2' flouros. On 18/6. Emergency Blanket/Mylar on ceiling/walls
Medium...Everyday potting mix from Ace Hardware. Switching to Fox Farms when transplanting is needed. Soaked seed 24 hrs. in shot glass then moved to Jiffy "pellets" and Strips...Total of 65 seeds planted..The seeds seemed to like the peat pellet method alot better and also the strips dryed very quickly. I planted that many seeds to pick the best looking ones and move on from there.
No ventilation or door as of now and i have a box fan blowing around.
This is my second attempt at this, end result of last time looked amazing..about 1 1/4 zip dry but i grew it under 6500k cfls the whole time so it was a very light head buzz. So this time around i intend on switching the bulbs for flowering like i should've done the first time. I will try with some pics of last harvest and this grows seeds starting.

So plants are about 3 weeks almost 4 and doing great about 35 sprouted and i kept the best looking 20...But its down to 12 now. Soon i will top then transplant then begin LST. Heres a couple more pics most recent ones so far...Im trying to get down resizing them a little bit better..Here my babies...look indica dom...although 2 look different from the rest...the first 2 sets of fingered leaves on the 2 diff. plants have 5 fingers then the next have seven as all other plants started with 3 and then went to the 5 fingered..possibly sativa mix? IDK... Here is some pics.[attachment=o185992]

[kRoNikLy420]

Also all comments or advice is appreciated. All the information i've learned from you guys got me to where i am now so I'm gonna try to do you justice. G'Night

[kRoNikLy420]

It is now day 28 and i Topped most plants a day or so ago..didn't seem to stop growth but for about a day. Im not using nutes until flowering. I give them a week then transplant into atleast 1 gallon pots. Then I'm going to try my hand at LST. Also if I need to I will convert shelving into 2 seperate"rooms" to ensure room for most fems for flowering. Updated pics 1 week since last photo update.

They look heatly keep the good work !
Are you using 2 grow room, one for the veg and the other for the flower ?

[kRoNikLy420]

As of right now, no I am not. I have 12 plants and once they get transplanted into bigger pots..which by the way should've been done waaaay before now, I won't have enough room. Plants are looking like they've slowed in growth, I was thinking it was from being in such a small container. But I can only barely see a couple small roots from the bottom, still inside the cup not coming out the holes in the bottom. So I will wait for preflower then keep the nicest lookers as moms and 12/12 the rest of the girls seperately in the other "shelve".

Awesome Job!:thumbsup: I'm tuned in on this one:smokin:

[keeko]

looking good, i really like your light setup.

it might be the lighting color but a couple of the plants look like they need some calmag. do you notice any discoloration in the leaves?

[kRoNikLy420]

Actually, there was some discoloration...but that was 8 days ago..hard to stay up on everything, start a new job and still manage to find time to update.
Well um I've had to re-tie down my plants so many times. Most tops are all about the same height. I wasn't intending on doing a SOG but that is what is starting to look like. I've been thinking of trimming off a lot more leaves than i've ever done before. Because with this setup it is hard to get the light to penetrate down to the lowers. I've switched to 12/12 to see how many are fem. I am running out of space. Orignally intended on complete CFL but i think I will get atleast a 400 watter beast. I was given 6 400 wt mh bulbs for free..but i don't know if i wanted to use a mh..i was thinking HPS. I would like to hear what someone thinks i should do what the cabinet size seen above...and the cab can go floor to the ceiling if needed. And around $200 to 3 max. Photo update coming soon..Buying new camera tomorrow, some fu*ker :asskick: decided they needed it more than me. Peace

[kRoNikLy420]

Well i typed the biggest reply ever then when i went to update my computer crashed..
I am now in week2 day 1 of flowering. 6 females the rest had to go. My fave has 8 tops. <--Thats alot..haha.
All plants have been LST'ed and topped once. One plant has not been topped but has a bunch of colas.

Look's Like They Are Right On Schedule, & Looking Real Healthy:thumbsup:

[kRoNikLy420]

Thanks man.. when i switched to 12/12 i changed from the 27 watt cfl x 4 to 45 watt x 4. With a raise in lumens by over 5thousand. I've read on here it needs to be an increase of four times the amount of "light" I hope it was enough.
ALso i tried to take pictures of the preflowers and "zoom" in for you guys but my new camera is a cell phone and its not "top o the line'' so yeah sorry ..
Peace Out

[kRoNikLy420]

Well its been a minute since an update..
The plant that i did not top its pistils turned PINK immediately after they started to appear, and the tops on it are a really nice looking dark pink. One other is also but not nearly as bright of a pink. Nice trich count on all 6 ladies even on the bottom of the plants. I will try to update again in a couple days with some fotos. They look great, you would almost think i know what i'm doing.
Peace

Quote from begining of log..

the 2 plants in the start that looked different are the ones turning pink btw..

[kRoNikLy420]

[kRoNikLy420]

some dying leaves on one plant..the one furthest from the fan..they all get the same amounts of everything else so that has to be the reason, i think.

[GreenDestiny]

the pink is so pretty!!!!

great job, and only using 4 of the 45watt cfl's?

[stinkyattic]

You are doing a really good job with your plants.

[kRoNikLy420]

Yes only 4 45 watt CFL's Green, and they aren't even warm whites, i couldn't find those anywhere so I settled with the soft whites i think it is. I think i read they were 3900k. So in veg it was 4 27watt 6500k and flowering 4 45 watt 3900k.
I can definetly tell a difference from my first grow using the same 6500k's during flower and veg compared to switching bulbs for flowering to the 3900k. So i can only imagine what they would look like under the warm whites.

Thanks Stinky..getting a compliment from you means alot to me.

I will update again probably in a week, so there will be a visual change in the ladies.
Peace

[kRoNikLy420]

Well i could only wait 2 days..Im bored..I was looking through the ladies and noticed one little lady's leaves were longer and skinnier than the rest. And she is more bushy and has 7 tops. :) I was thinking sativa but it doesnt look like it is 100%, maybe half.
But anyway here some pictures.

Ya Bro, They Are Looking Awesome!!!!.........keep Doing What You Are Doing!!!!!:pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp::pimp:

[kRoNikLy420]

Thanks guys..Im doing very little other than basic distilled watering and rotating the plants under the lights. Some house plant, plant food every 3 waterings. I did trim quite a few leaves off the ladies over time for better light penetration. Waiting for harvest. Gonna be :stoned:

[kRoNikLy420]

I had to sample the flavor of the pink..Very very smooth taste, and a nice body stone. I couldn't get off the couch for an hour. I flushed plants and it seemed to help with the yellowing on the one lady. Pic update in a couple days.
Peace

[kRoNikLy420]

okay i figured I should let you guys know how it ended. Well I harvested right under 4 zips fully dried and cured. The best smoke Ive ever tasted. Odors were crazy strong towards the end..could smell it outside..bad. So I was super paranoid and ended the grow about a week early. Very skunky stuff. I left a surprise sampler in a friends car while he was working and he said he could smell some "good shit" about 15 feet from his car. he is a 40 year plus smoker and he said it was some of the best shit hes ever had. He was scared to drive home with it. lol. It was my second and last grow. I just can't risk my "freeness" with future grows. And i have cut waaay back on smoking. I would like to finish by saying none of it would have been possible wothout the knowledge learned from you other fellow growers.
Peace out Cannabis.com You've been great! :thumbsup:

[homegrow1967]

this really is unbelievable for 4 cfl's, really amazing job
