Zeb, I consider myself a newb, only second gro like the thread suggests, and i have read about transplanting causing stress, u are right. But the thing is, my area only allows for 8 1gal pots or about 4 5gal pots, so what i am doing is veg'ing 8 plants. Hopefully after sexing i will have at least 4 females, law of averages. etc etc. This is when i will go to the 5 gal's and ditch the boys. U r right but i have other plans :rastasmoke: :hippy:
Haha, yep it was a bit back in the thread. A nostalgic little post. BUT just wrap it in something you can peel back if you wanna check out the roots every now and then. I'm totally going to use clear cups.Quote:

Hopefully after i get my inline i will be temp problem free. I also have to cleane the cooltube tomoro, since i got it kind of dirty and smudged up tofay, when i was putting it together.
Those lil babes are looking a lot better now, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread.
Nice work on the cooltube too. :stoned:
Thanks afghooey, I appreciate that. Yea, I had seen some DIY cooltubes online but none of them were detailed enough for me. So I kind of just bought a bunch of stuff and put it together. I wasnt really sure what i was doing, but i think it worked out good. I still have to locate a fan for it tho.
Ill have some updated closeups tomoro :thumbsup:
Looking forward to the pics! Do you have a fan on those seedlings by chance? It'd be good to strengthen up those lil stems, especially with the stretching.
Yes , I have a ocilating fan, one of those ionic breeze ones. I'm pretty sure it cleans the air too :thumbsup:Quote:

After i listened to it for a second I heard a pattern, so i knew there wasnt an animal, this is a good thing.... but i still had to see what the noise was, it was something noticable. So I had to open the cab, IN THE DARK PERIOD :mad:. Turns out that the duct that i had from my cooltube to the wall broke and fell on my BB#1 and simply, laid her down :(.
So now instead of sleeping in tomoro till about noon I have to wake up and put up new duct AND re-hang my light. :mad: I still dont understand what caused the aluminum duct to simple break in the middle of the entire length?? I'm guessing that the duct got too hot b/c I have no inline yet, and the wire inside of the duct got weak and gave allowing the duct to rip.
So now it's 6AM and the post is done, I guess im just staying up for an hour till 7 when the lights come on to repair BB#1 and my duct and assesing further damages. I hope the other are alright, since I didnt really have a long time to investigate since it was the DARK PERIOD.
Great night.
Ahh! Your experienced now! :thumbsup:
Good luck, things should be fine, just stay positive and try to relax.
Prop BB#1 up, and give a drop of superthrive in water, if you have any superthrive.
How are the repairs going?
It was a late night indeed, got to bed at about 8am. My roomate was up tho cause he had to work in an hour. So we managed to put up the new duct and prop up BB#1. I thought the celebration needed to be documented :) Ill have new plant pics today sometime.Quote:

Pic 3 - Part of the BB crew.
Pic 4 - Another of the BB, with too much light for the camera.
Pic 5 - Right side of garden
I planed on using these pots thru veg, then transplant at flowering. These pots will be big enough to use for the whole veg right??
By the way these things r growing great, ill post new pics tomoro when the lights come on.
Its been 4 days since the last pics were takin, so i figured i would update. Here u go and enjoy.
There has been no cool things happen lately, just the amazing growth of my 8 babies. Well that is except the 8th, for some reason that one is going very slow, i think it may be because i put it about 2' under the MH as soon as it came out of the dirt, it probably stunted its growth or somthing. Anyways heres the pic, lemme kno what u all think :D
PS does anyone have any advice as to when i should start topping these bad boys??
There looking Awesome! I topped mine about 3 weeks into veg, after the 3rd node. Or just LST, thats a lot better IMHO. ~ Greens
CannabisCarl, thanks man. What is LST mean in ur opinion, i find that in cannabis cultivation most everyone has different deffinitions for different training terms??
ive been following this thread beautiful plants mann:thumbsup:
Thanku very much growguy. Thats the best kind of motivation i think a beggining grower (myself) can have.
Its always better to be patted on the back rather than patting urself on the back.:dance::clap:
I know you didn't ask me, but its my favorite thing to talk about as of current.
To me LST is when you bend the plant to grow as vert as you can. Directing its growth to the empty areas of the pot, and controlling the side stems that will eventually become your colas when you ease up with bondage and start flowering.
When most people think of LST its about bending the plant down, sometimes Tying it to itself. If you let the plant grow vertical, each side branch that will EXPLODE in growth may also need to be trained, in order to keep things even, and keep the hormones (auxins?) from regulating growth.
LST= Low Stress Training.
Bodom of Children. Has the been LST I have seen done to a plant, and or that I have found around the internet. Here is the Link, and its about 12 posts down. http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-gro...flowering.html

Its COOL Skrappie, u dont need to be asked, not in my post. Thanks for the explanation, thats kinda what my thoughts of LST were, but u kno what i mean like everyones got different ideas about suppercropping and LST and it seems like alot more. Thanks again Skrap.
Tahknu also Carl for the pics, those are helpfull.
So for anyone who wants to answer, including u Skrap; when do u start LST training, veg i would imagine. The only reason i ask is because last time i grew a plant it didnt even grow side branches during veg, except like the fan leaves u kno. Then a couple of weeks into flowering i started to see side branches forming. I am guessing this may be because the plant was POSSIBLY immature when i forced flowering????
Its very simple brotha, and is said to be better than topping. So is the ongoing debate about whether to Veg under 24/7 Light or 16/8. see what I mean? Its all Apples&Oranges.
I recommend it, Google it and Learn it Read about it.
no problem mann hopfully if my first grow this spring looks as good as yours you could give me a couple pats on the back..good job mann:cool:
hey growguy420420 whats happenin
not too much mann chillen:rasta:..waiting for winter to go by as fast as possible to start my crop..how about you?

i needa get my hands on a couple good seeds
good luck dude :rastasmoke:
Thanks Codie. Actually I only want about 4-5 girls tops, so they can all fit in my room, since i am going to be upgrading to bigger pots at flowering. But if i do have all girls i will surely take them as a blessing, even if they cant all fit in my gro room, im sure i can find someone who will adopt the extras that cant fit.
r you going to grow outside next year
I cant gor outside b/c i live in an urban area, not suitable for MJ cult. Im strickly indoors, if indeed u r talking to me, im not sure whats going on in this thread right now.
if that question is for me then yes..may sometime if everything gos according to plan:rasta:
hey cwesto how are your babies doin??:jumphappy:
lets give cwesto his thread back..:jointsmile: grow strong dude!
hey codie we could talk in one of my threads just hit me up mann
:hippy:
that kinda sucks that you cant grow in the great outdoors and yea how r ur babies doin
GrowGuy, the babies are doing fabtabulous. LOL thnks for the thread back by the way. :thumbsup:
haha no problem im out mann.. say goodnight to ur plants for me haha:D
My plants have been veging now for about 2 weeks now. They are all pretty healthy, except for one which cant seem to form a solid looking leaf. Today i started LST, and im prett sure all went well. I will have some pics of those later tonight.
Anyway i looked at my plants a minute ago, and it seems a few of them are showing some male pre-flowers. My question is why r my plants showing pre-flowers only 2 weeks into veg??
Any and all input is very welcome, i am kind of worried.
OK, now when i am LST'ing i need to get the top of the plant underneath the nodes that i want more auxins at correct??? I am only asking b/c yesterday i LST'd them and already today the tops have raised up to the light and are now over the internodes which it was originaly below.
Should i put them in more bondage keeping the tops below the internoeds???? and if so hhow llong should it be tied down ??
