[fleetspop]

[fleetspop]

[fleetspop]

pic update
6th day of veg

[fleetspop]

just got all plants transplanted into pots will post some pics in a few

[headshake]

plants look good.

nice catfish. i used to see those around. oh, and albino means lack of the melanin pigment in the eyes, skin and hair (although rarely it affects the eyes alone).(although rarely it affects the eyes alone). so albino with red eyes is redundant.

good growing!

[deleafer2220]

#3 still amazes me =] keep up the great work :thumbsup:

[irydyum]

I have seen several plants throughout the time on the forums with the 3 leaves like in that last picture of the seedlings. It's some sort of genetic mutation, normally cannabis is a dicotyledon plant, but sometimes comes out a tri if the mutation is there.

Don't quote me on the terms here, but if you search around for mutated seedlings on here, you will find some of the others and they will explain much better than I can what happened, and if you should expect anything from them.

Take care, babies look nice.

[headshake]

dicot or dicotyledon means that the plant has two embryonic leaves or cotyledon. this has nothing to do with adult leaves.

sometimes when a plant throws one or three finger bladed leaves it's due to stress. it happens a lot after transplanting.

[irydyum]

Thank you for correcting me. I'm aware what I dicot is, but in that first seedling pic of the 3 leafer, I KNEW i had seen Stinky in a thread about it. After a little further research, I found the thread that I was looking for. What you have in the 3rd plant (the 3 leaf one) appears to be a whorled phytolaxy.

Heres the link to the thread, it's all about freak plants.

[fleetspop]

thanks irydyum for that link.. looks like everybody wants a freak... maybe im lucky

19th day veg

[deleafer2220]

I wonder what would happen if you cloned the mutant :D

[fleetspop]

i pushed a day back on my watering schedule and the leaves perked up instead of drooping down:thumbsup:

[DOUGAL25]

Lookin good - how long you plan on vegging? Fingers crosses the mutant turns female.
:stoned:

[fleetspop]

dougal i was gonna veg for 45 days but the plants are growing so well im gonna switch over at 30

[DOUGAL25]

dougal i was gonna veg for 45 days but the plants are growing so well im gonna switch over at 30

Makes sense...well good luck - you were right that everyone wants to see a mutant, ha!
:stoned:

[SauceeMcGee]

sweet mutation brah!

I wanna see that finish, hope its a lady!

[fleetspop]

pic update

21st day veg

[fleetspop]

i was gonna veg for 45 days but none of my other grows have grown so big in this time frame. so im gonna switch at 30 days

[deleafer2220]

When did you start feeding them nutes ? BTW looking great :stoned:

[fleetspop]

i started using nutes about 15 days into the grow

[fleetspop]

my biggest plant was looking rough today so i flushed the soil will post some pics tommorrow

[fleetspop]

i went ahead and flushed both my big plants and it worked miracles. these pics are about five hours after flush

[fleetspop]

26th day veg

[irydyum]

What exactly did you observe in your plants that necessitated the flush? Just thought it would be pertinent info to the thread. Look nice so far!!

[fleetspop]

a bunch of the stems fell straight down like the were dead. so i figured i had build up in the soil from the nutes? kinda really dont know if that was the problem just guessing. but flushing them seemed to correct the problem

[irydyum]

What is your watering schedule? Drooping limbs are normally a reflection of the amount of water in the plant. Too much or too little, and they tend to droop. Just right and they will be standing up reaching for light.

[fleetspop]

im watering every other day

[irydyum]

How much water in what size container? Do the containers feel light (in weight) before you water? If you need to know how light it should be, fill a container with dry soil and compare.

[fleetspop]

i do a dixie cup in a 2 gallon pot

[fleetspop]

yea the container fell lightbefore i water. i can tell the weight diff b4 and after

[fleetspop]

28th day of veg
gonna switch to flower tommorrow

[fleetspop]

folks plants are gonna get 12 hours of sleep tonight.. hopefully i wont have to mess with seeds and just clones... keep ur fingers crossed

[fleetspop]

my small mutation plants filled alot more than what i thought. its real bushy but not tall .. hope its a chick

[irydyum]

folks plants are gonna get 12 hours of sleep tonight.. hopefully i wont have to mess with seeds and just clones... keep ur fingers crossed

Did you already clone these plants?

[fleetspop]

no i havent cloned them yet. dont know if i have a female

[headshake]

no i havent cloned them yet. dont know if i have a female

you can clone them anyhow and then just toss any that came from a male.

[fleetspop]

3rd day flower

[fleetspop]

pics of the tops

[JeffersonBud]

I bet your plants would like a larger pot:thumbsup:

[indicadyl]

nice!

[DOUGAL25]

now the waiting game....fingers crossed!

what was your light cycle for veg? - just curious
:stoned:

[NatureLover]

What kind of soil did you start them out in? That was an amazing veg stage growthwise, even before you added nutes on day 15. The day 13 pics were very impressive. I'd love to know what kind of soil you used, how long you had your lights on/off, what kind of space you were using, what kind of lights and ummm let's see what kind of ventilation if any did you have in the area.

[fleetspop]

naturelover i used miracle grow potting mix
20\4 light schedule
its a closet grow
i used 10 23 watt cfls 5 2700k and 5 6500k
small fan blowing on them
no ventilation

[NatureLover]

Thanks for sharing, great grow.

Sounds like a great lighting system. I've seen some really great CFL setups. I love flouresents so I always like to inquire. Multiple spectrum setups seem to consistenly produce better results for flourescent and CFL growers than single spectrum setups, I guess that's no surprise.

Congratulations on the good results so far and good luck with the rest of it.

[fleetspop]

my two big plants ended up being males. but my small one is female. atleast ill b able to clone her

[fleetspop]

once i got the two big plants out of the closet and was able two drop the lights about 3 to 4 inches off the small plant it grew about 2 to 3 inches in 6 hours.. hopefully it will get some good size on it know that i can properly light it

[fleetspop]

maybe my small plant will hook me up with some goodies....well see

[DOUGAL25]

"small one" as in the mutant, im assuming

any pics? would love to see its growth spurt
:stoned:

[fleetspop]

pics of my only female... its the mutant

[NeverEnough]

wow that looks nice can you show me and picture of your lights? i want to find a fixture that holds cfl bulbs but i can only find ones that are single.

Right now i have 2 4 foot long fluorescent bulbs that are 100 watts together along with 4 cfl bulbs in single holders that cost me 6 dallors each.

all togther my 2 cloned fem are getting like 400 watts. i think this is good but my setup is so ghetto it might set a fire-seriously.

[fleetspop]

never what i did was get a drop constrution light that handled high watts and put a splitter on it which left me with two outlets then i put a splitter on both of those which gave me four outlets. i did that twice and made a reflector to fit over both sets of lights. ive got three sides of closet covered for reflection but the open side i have my fan and a clip on dome light that i put a splitter on and have two lights shining in from the side

[fleetspop]

since i was able to drop the lights to where they are a 3 inches off the plant its getting way bushier and more sprouts

[NeverEnough]

Your results are good. Sorry about the males and good luck with the cloning process.

You said you now have 10 cfl's on that single female? even with the fan 2 inches away isnt your female feeling the heat?

I have 4 cfls so 6400 lumens... is this sufficent?

[fleetspop]

shes not showing any heat stress yet although cfls barely give off any heat... rule of thumb is 5000 lumens per plant. my set up is for three plants i have a little over 16000 lumens. not an expert just what i have read

[fleetspop]

i have to go out of town for a few months to help family so i have to shut down the grow

[DOUGAL25]

i have to go out of town for a few months to help family so i have to shut down the grow

Aww man ...
family first tho, good luck
:stoned:

[fleetspop]

[NeverEnough]

mom's taking over the grow?

damn that would be the day for me

[fleetspop]

moms trying to get good pics for me as soon as i get some ill post them

[NeverEnough]

Send me your mom so she can manage my plants lol:stoned:.

[fleetspop]

here are some new pics..im gonna have to flower about 15 or 20 days longer because the other plants were so tall the light wasnt correct for the small girl...got it fixed now and mom is really getting into watching it grow so thats cool...now ill always have somebody to look after them while im gone
later

[SauceeMcGee]

Cool beans, I find it fascinating how non-diploid plants mature

Catch ya on the flip side,

SMG

[fleetspop]
