Here are some updated pics of my first grow. I started 12/12 about 17 days ago but they showed sex about 10 days ago. If you look at my last post i had four plants but only one of them were male. Its not doing near as good as it could because im using fluorescent lighting only but thats all i could afford and i can only grow this summer. let me know of any suggestions
lookin great man... expect em not to grow much more than they are now.. you've probably already noticed a slowing already
great.. i'd say you should be at about 3/4 - a full ounce on each plant.. depending on the size of course...and how long you flower them and such.. i could see an ounce per plant
either way, look great! :cool:
Look good, maybe just some white polysheet to aid the flouros.
agree'd you're losing alot of light .. put something to reflect the light back..Quote:

you need air flow bad,look into some CFL.They work much better IMO,yes some type of of white sides or mylar would help fatten up the middle
sexy...
The room that the plants are in is vacant so i have the ac on at all times and the ceiling fan circulating the air. The closet door is never closed. Also yesterday i just put a little fan blowing on them from ab 5 feet away. Here are some updated pics for anyone interested. Right when these plants started showing sex i accidentally dropped a light on one of the top colas of one of the plants. it knocked it off but now i can see 3 new colas forming in that same space if you'll look at pic 3. I thought that was really weird bc ive never seen ne thing like that but it seems like a good thing...
Looks like you accidently 'topped' the plant. Someone up there likes you. Nice plants as well, keep up updated.
here are some pics i took this morning. I started the 12/12 cycle i think exactly one month ago. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
Get your flooring covered in white paper.
With the lights you have, you are losing half of it into the carpet.
Why mylar off the walls but not the floor?
Add some 100W regualr light bulbs to aid in the red spectrum you need for the flowers.
Add as many as you can to help the flower.
Place these bulbs near the tops of the flowers and keep the heat off them. This will help.
