Feminized Hempstar - Flowering Update
OK i'm gonna try to keep this thread running, instead of starting a new one everytime (i believe that is the correct way to do things round here!)..
So here is 1 of the 6 i have, now at 9 days flowering.. Pistils are showing (although you can't really see on these pics - no decent macro on my dig cam, sorry)..
Check out the side growth on the left of the 1st pic - the stem on this is thicker than the main branch and is growing like crazy!
This one stands at 2'2", from the top of the pot, although I have one that is around 2'6" (not quite as bushy tho!)
Grown in good compost, under 2 x 400w MH/growlux HPS, 8 and a half weeks old from seed. Treated with blood & bone 2 weeks ago. Am going to start with the tomato food next watering.
Hope you like!:jointsmile: Let me know what you growers think.

Hi All,
Latest update here.. All 6 are female, all now flowering.
Having a humidity problem at the moment so am gonna invest in a dehumdifier at the end of the month. Currently runs at around 70% RH in the grow room, so I know i need to bring that down some. Temps are fine at around 75f, night time temps around 65f.
Had their 1st feed yesterday, 6-6-6 NPK tomato food. Hope they respond well. I didn't bother with the 1/4 strength after all, these plants are around 2.5 foot tall, with one nearly 3' so I reckon they can stand it.
They're starting to smell real good.
Will keep y'all posted! Hope you like the pics, just wish i had a better cam. Let me know what you think.:D

Hey all, hope this thread finds you well! :jointsmile:
Here's some more pics for you to gawp at, all doing very well thankyouverymuch! Finally starting to bud, as you can see on the pics!
Humidity has thankfully dropped now (which is due to the weather).. running now at about 60-65RH. Still need to drop that still, which will be when i get a dehimidifier. Oh the joys of a cellar grow!
They've all responded well to the feed, no fert burn at all even with the full strength dose. I've noticed tho that since i fed them, the lower growth seems to have gone beserk - if you look at the pic of the growroom you can see some almost trailing on the floor!
Well anyway hope you like the pics. Any thoughts are welcome. Will update soon!

Hi everyone, here is the latest update.
Well you can probably tell that they've all exploded all over the place! I'm really pleased with them, as this is my 1st indoor grow.
I'm feeding every watering now (6-6-6NPK), slightly upped the strength to about 110% (which is actually only around 15ml per 6ltrs of water).. They are responding well however. Is this the right stuff to use though? I've read on here that people use higher concentrations?? Can anyone expand on this a little?
I hope you like the pics tho.

This isn't the tallest plant I have (its about 3' 6" now), but it would be the best to have as a mother.. its SO strong and bushy.
This is my only grow this year - i'm away at xmas for a month. Next year I'm hoping to get a decent mother plant to take cuttings from.
Hope you like the pics? Let me know your thoughts good people! :)

Hey all,
A coupla new pics and a Q -
i was thinking of buying some cages that will fit over the plants to train the lower branches upwards - does anyone have experience with this? I imagine its a type of SOG? I'm thinkin of the kind of thing you'd train strawberrys up.
Am having some issues with lower branches just lolling around nearly touching the floor, as they're getting heavier..!:D
