Flowering under 2 x 1000W Sunmasters. ProMix soilless w/ DNF nutes + Dr Hornby's Big Bud, Cal Mag, Molasses. Started 35 seeds, ended up w/ 25 females.

The first is a baby pic. Next two are two weeks into flowering and the next two are three weeks into flowering. Updates weekly from now on.

very nice not start to finish though. Well I hope that wasn't how they looked when you harvested them! The top 2 photos look a bit overwatered but you corrected that and everything looks great. looks like your growing like a pro! :thumbsup:

Happy Toking :rasta:

I will update the thread as they go. So, it's not finished yet, I guess, but it will be (knock on wood).

I take all my photos just before lights on so they may be appear a bit droopy but I assure you overwatering is not a problem. They are in full flower w/ 3gal pots and go through almost 9 gallons of water every two days. That's between 18 plants

Thanks for the reply and compliment.

I regularly get 70% females, with just regular seeds. The last time i started 40 seeds and got 29 females. The trick I use, and I have heard this from other old time growers as well, is to keep temps low from sprout till about 3 weeks of age, and use cold water. One of them even refridgerates his water. Believe it or not.

Sisteen of the original 25 females were left in the flowering room for the first cycle. Four more were added a week later. The other 7 were moved to the veg chamber for use as possible mothers and/or perpetual harvesting. (pics to come)

I did want to move in four a week but in 3gal pots they take up alot of room so I will just move in a few every couple of weeks till the first batch is harvested.

That's why I said I have 18 plants in there now, in case anyone was wondering.

Wow, I'm gonna try that for sure! I never heard of that one before...

I start giving it when I start flowering according to the directions on the bottle. It's a bit pricey ($40/litre) so I actually just add a bit less. I add it w/ nutes until the last two weeks. I was skeptical when I first bought it but I became a believer.

These are a cross of hindu kush and peak19, and they finish right around 8 weeks.

Thanks, all, for the kind words.

I wish i had the space for all that. Closet growing limits the amount of plants i can tend to at any given time. Maybe i should just toss out my clothes. Good job on the grow. Do you use organic ferts?

No dried bud yet. Only flowering for about 4.5 weeks.


Do you use organic ferts?

No organics. Promix medium w/ DNF nutrients. I also add Dr HOrnby's Big Bud, Cal-Max, and Molasses.

I'll post someone update pics shortly.

I just put in four more so there's 22 total now. The room is 12x8.5 and the garden's footprint is 8x5, tucked in the one corner w/mylar on two walls. Yes, parabolic. The above pics are 31 days.

Thanks for the compliments.

I have to make a correction. I rechecked the calendar and the last pics I posted were on day 28 of flowering so I've been a week off in the posts. So, as of this today, they are on day 30.

Nothing happened. Just get a little more careful around harvest time. Harvest went well (slightly over 2lbs of primo bud and another quarter pound of popcorns) and is continuing perpetual. Sorry I don't post pics of the full harvest.
