What strain would you pick?

Quick Update of Day 50...

Couple of picks. Secondary growth, at least in my eyes, is picking up.

Small plant growing... but slowly.

They've been LSTed... and they seem quite happy.

Comments welcomed.

Laters,

Ohl yeah things are finally gonna speed up! You have the secondaries, now they're going to start growing. If you pay close attention to the growth pattern of cannabis you'll notice the longest accomplishment is formation of the actual plant parts themselves.. once they are "established" (as I like to say) growth begins at a much faster rate. This applies to branches, secondaries, even individual leaves themselves... Looking good!!! Keep it up...

Peace :pimp:

Hello,

Out-of-the-blue question:

How long do you wait before restarting your ballast... if you happen to shut it off for some wierd unexplainable occourence?

Some fluxiations in The Matrix caused my ballast's power strip to be clicked to off... and I tried turning it back to ON, but the bulb wouldn't light up.
So I turned off power and I find my self in the process of waiting some 30 minutes to try and turn it ON back again.

That's it. Random question.

BTW: My new electricity bill arrived... it came around 50% higher... !!!

Here are a pic of the girls...

Question: The yellowing leaves on the first photo... that's normal, right?

Should I worry? I see them healthy and happy. Thanks for the input guys!

Hello turtle,

Hope you're doing good. :) Always good to see myself reading my posts. ;)

Anyways turtle, I had a quick question: Why do your plants have secondary growth 'alternately'? I mean, they have the secondary growth, but it goes like this: left side, right side, left side, right side....

For every node in the plant, there's only one secondary growth growing... instead of two at each side.

Ideas?! I'll wait for you to think about it during the day, and then post the reply here... then I'll re-read my post to find the answer! PERFECT!

[BTW: It's getting lonely in here guys :( ]

lol, awwww I'm so sorry been busy, you know how looking after the garden is :). God damnit am I like the only one who's actually interested in this shit? Anyway no worries about the wierd alternating nodes, it's just a deformity, the only thing you can do is keep her growin... Updates? :)

Updates...

Well, I ran them with the lights ON until 11am today... instead of shutting them OFF at 1am... This I did, to try and offset the high temperatures I was seeing during the afternoon.
So I re-scheduled the 6 hours of darkness (they're on 18/6) during the hottest part of the day - the afternoon. So, @ about 6pm today (yeah, I know, 7 hours... I'm working on it...) they had their morning.
18/6 follows as usual.

Temperatures during the afternoon? 85F... :) As good as it'll get.

I'll get a couple of pics uploaded... I'm just too stoned and chillin' right now to go to the other computer... When I opened the box, I watered them... and saw that I should re-LST them a little bit more. Just the daily updates on their training.

Secondary growth on one of them is really picking up... I think it's a male. Just got a gut feeling. Anyway, we'll be cloning for sex ASAP... we'll know then for sure. Got to build that mother cab.

I want to get the fogger setup... thinking about that really hard... hmmmm... foggy roots.... :D :D :D

@ the top of the cabinet, I installed one 6" fart fan rated @ 90 CFMs...
and a 50 CFM one over @ the window, getting fresh air in. Inside the cabinet, I've got a 10" (I think) desktop fan blowing air over the tops of the plants.

The little plant decided to respond... the LSTing of the other plant, started to give her more shade than she liked... sooooo... She's growing! Fighting with her bigger sisters (or the bully big brother... :( )

Pics to follow soon! :)

Pics... as promised...

What do you think of the secondary growth?
What about the alternating nodes?
Overall?

Hello Rasta,

Hey dude, are these pre-flowers?

THANKS!

-turtle420 :cool:

Looking good, looking good... No pre-flowers yet, I'd say your still a month off or so. When people say sex shows in the second month, that's under the impression you are armed with nothing less than the best in ventalation, lighting, and nutrients. Most probably, these plants will be alive for 4 months before any of them start showing sex, but hey that's all part of growing. Certainly nothing to worry about.. some of us just have to wait longer then others :( But have faith, keep them alive, and one day, you will be enjoying the fruits of your labor :)

Peace
