Like I've mentioned before, if you have limited height you really should top and/or LST to control plant height, as the plants can litterally double in height during flowering, and you want to stress the plants as little as possible during flowering (thus Low Stress Training).
Keep in mind that I'm by no means a leading authority on indoor/stealth grows, my own experience comes from a lot of trial and error: my first Mango grow would have been so much better had I had invested in a HPS light 2 years ago (then again an affordable 150 watt HPS kit was hard to locate back then); and if I had eased off on the plant food (mega heat & nute burns).
The point I'm trying to make is that therere are many growers in this Community who are far more experienced than I am, look around, ask around; for all I know I might be handing out bad advice, and I'd really hate to learn your grow went to hell because I gave you the wrong advice! :hippy:
Just returned for the road trip & finished unpacking. This is the first time I'm watering the girls and trimming dry leaves under the green CFL. I've noticed one seed pod on the bud right behind the one I pollinated on Stubby...oh well, more seeds for future grows and the rest of her buds look fine.
I'm not sure if it was due to the stres of the DIY fixture nearly killing her as a young plant, but Stubby has developped into this "V" shaped plant with dual Colas, without topping...Mother Nature sure holds many surprises!
So yeah, I can pretty much say the growth spurts are done with:
Leggy 2 is still the tallest at 2' 2.5" (or thereabouts)
KC is still second at 22.5"
Stubby's tallest cola is at 20.5"
Jr seems to have gained a bit more height...nothing earth shattering but she's 8.5" tall as of today!
The trichomes are definitely becomming more and more visible, even under green light. I'll have a better look tomorrow morning when the light cycle is in effect.
:thumbsup:
Trimmed a few burned leaves, Leggy 2 seems to have grown a bit more, and I raised the light.
Today's photos!
Random thoughts:
I can see definite differences between the past all CFL grows and the mixed grow using CFL, LED and HPS. At best, under the all CFL lighting I would get many small "pom-pom" buds. Since getting the HPS, I am seeing some mighty large tops in the making, where the cola "meges" with the buds beneath it...Leggy 2 is showing signs of this.
Looks like this'll be the first time I get bud that looks like the ones advertised by KC Brains and Dutch passion! :thumbsup:
According to their own photos, KC-36 and Oasis should look like this when ready:
Just by comparing pictures I can see I'm not close to ready...but hell it's only day 37! :hippy:
Things are lookin' good! Gave the girls a watering with a molasses shooter and improved the "light leaks" with weather stripping around the door frame.
My attempt at closeups of the tops...see trichs yet? ;):hippy:
The girls look great ! Yes we do see trichomes !Quote:

dude your plants look amazing. i just started flowering mine. im on day 2 and its about lights out for my babys. i think i got a plant like you im callin him stubby. he is really short lol. but the rest are lookin really good though. now whats the best way to tell if they are male or female. lol but hey you keep up the great work man peace love and smoke.:rasta:
:DMale: they'll grow pollen sacks. Unless you wish to selectively pollinate a bud or two to have your own seeds (which would entail you isolating the male from your girls) or if you don't mind having seedy buds get rid of the male ASAP! :eek:Quote:

FWIW I was on the fence about stubby - with all the stress it endured I wouldn't have been surprised if it had turned out male or hermaphrodite (balls & pistils - you can find pics on this web site if you do a search)...so I waited and to my relief, Stubby's a she!
Thanks! I'm going to eyeball it as far as flowering goes...'the zone' seems to be 55 to 60 days, maybe longer or sooner depending on strain (if I recall, KC36 has an average flowering time of 6 to 8 weeks, while Oasis can take up to 9 weeks).Quote:

So I'd say as soon as they look close enough to the pics I downloaded from the KC Brains and Oasis web pages, hopefully in 55 days...I know, I lack the virtue of patience! :p
