in post 7 the middle picture the bottom of the main stem looks red, i've had that on leaf stems which i think is a sighn of lacking something but not on the main stem, but i'm no expert and it's probally nothing. otherwise looking really good, best of luck with your grow:thumbsup:
yeah I am not sure what was going on there but I read some stuff and thought it might have something to do with the temps in the room so I turned it up a bit warmer in the room and it seems to be doing better with it.
Anyhow I am checking over the soil and the plant food I am giving it.
Below is pics of it now. Had to tie it down at a different point so to shift it to get a bit more light on the main stem. IT is like day 10 of LST and the plant is now 3 weeks and 4 days old.
I also went and threw in a couple of more cfl's using the Y Joint things from home depot. Now I think it is getting a good deal of light now.
I have also included a new pic of my new baby I have started. I have kept the lights at normal but safe distance since it was born and so it is going to be a short stubby thing. It only grew an inch out of the dirt and as you can see has already started its first set of true leaves now. It is only about 3 days old and I am feeling really good about it.
So now for the pics hope all enjoy and thanks for the comments. It really does help me to know what to check when someone notices something they have experienced before. The last pic is the baby.
Oh yeah PS added some more earthworms to the dirt. It rained really good the other night and so there were about 15 earthworms crawling accross the pavement so I grabbed em. lol
Well the plant is now 4 weeks old and is starting to fill out pretty good. It seems to be responding well to the plant food I gave it. The leaves all are a nice deep green and it isn't getting any taller just fatter.
The small one I started is doing well still is only about an inch tall but is already starting it's second set of leaves. So I am hoping it will remain short and stubby. I am going to be letting it grow naturally in the classic christmas tree shape. I am going to try topping this one later on and doing a clone of it to try my hand at cloning.
I am planning my next grow to be a little larger with about 3 plants and all are going to be clones in some huge tupperware containers. I want to see what the biggest plant I can grow :P
I will post more pics later tonight at 10:30 that's when they wake up and I don't want to disturb them for a pic until them.
Ok here are the pics of the plant right now. I will get some up of the smaller one I just forgot to take them.
Anyhow here is the bigger plant and it's looking pretty good now.
I read somewhere on here that I should start the flower process when the plant gets to be half the size that I want it to be. So that is what I am going to do.
I started it to flower today as it is well over 2 feet tall and and I have to allow for the stretching it will do when it starts budding. I have limited space so I think its about right to start it now.
It is still tied down does anyone have any idea if I should untie it during the flowering stage?
Anyway here are the pics.
Alright an update real quick. The bigger plant ended up being a male so I killed it and dried its leaves (better than nothing) I still have one vegging that is about 2 weeks old maybe more. I have started another one. I figure eventually I'll get a girl.
Anyhow I will post pics of the new one soon.
