Starting 12/12

[redman71]

After further review, I went ahead and threw in my 400W HPS bulb to start the 12/12 light cycle. I am doing from midnight to noon as my period of darkness....wish me luck :stoned:

nice looking...have a nice harvest hehehe

[dryst]

beatiful plants, what strain?

[redman71]

ahh....thanks, the strain is of the ever popular bag seed. My friend is going to Amsterdam next month for work, so she is going to get me some good beans. This is a test project to develop my growing skills, hope it turns out....

about 6-8 weeks of 12/12 then?

[slowthestone]

Growing your growing skills eh...then I wish the plants luck!

And wish you a happy spoil at the end of your efforts!

[redman71]

why thank you sir....I just feed them with 5-1-1 liquid fish on Tuesday. Since they are now on the 12/12 flowering cycle, when should I give them their first feeding of Earth Juice Bloom?

[slowthestone]

Any product labeled 'grow' is used during vegitative growth.

Anything with 'bloom or 'bud' should be introduced when budding/flowering begins.

[redman71]

I see so in about a week or two when they start showing sex, then feed them the bloom?

G'luck

Day three of the 12/12 cycle, no signs of sex yet, but it does seem some of them are bushing out nicely since the other day. The tall leggy one on the left is the only one that is a different strain I believe, some sort of Sativa I'm thinking. The rest some sort of Indica, I believe.

[Pass That Shit]

Are they in a open room? Or are they in a box?

They look nice :thumbsup:



Peace :stoned: NEVER

[redman71]

Thanks man.....They are in a 6x4 closet with 1- 400W HPS, 5 CFLs, and 2 fans.

I meant the tall leggy one on the front right side, I believe is a sativa, the rest indicas...

redman71,

Those plants look good man, good luck. Repost and keep us updated. I'd love to see and compared mines and yours since our setup looks similar except that I have 800W of MH for 5 plants (initially 6) and I just switched them over to 12/12 (Aug. 17) also but my pots are a little bigger. I was thinking of using the ones you have there but was afraid that it might get rootbounded? Let me know if you run into these problems. How many litres are the pots? Thanks..

Red man wat soil n shit u using?

[redman71]

Yea they are in 2 gallon pots right now because of the size of my closet, I was going to do 3, but now since the flowering process, has started, I am scared to. No root bound problems thus far, they are bushing out nice now on the 12/12. I will post some pics today. I am on day 6 now.

As far as soil I use the following:

10lbs Organic Potting Soil
4qts Perlite
1/2 cup bloodmeal
3/4 cup bonemeal
2tps of Dolomite

[redman71]

Alright here is day 6 of 12/12. Had to lower my shelf a few notches, they were getting to close to the light. I watered yesterday with just aquarium water at ph 7.0. They were pretty dry. I am going to add Bloom stuff, when flowers start to appear. I do see one that looks like it has tiny clusters of 3 balls or so at the branch unions. I'm guessing this is a male, they show first from what I hear, dont want to be wrong though! Dying to know how many females I have...fingers crossed:stoned:

looking good redman! :thumbsup:
