Quick update! Slight yellowing, but I think it is the light being warm, slight overwatering due to high transpiration and the allmix being a bit strong for it in it's early days.
If anyone has any advice go fer it homes,
oh by the way, looks like these are ladies, I see nice long pistols..
I did take a picture of that too but it came out terrible :(
Peace,
Denial
well guys, I tried to take more pictures of the pistols but the camera i have just isnt upto the job of close ups :-(
Peace,
Denial
Definitely wanna get them in their own pots ASAP.
I would say read the rest of the thread, but since you've been banned, I'll pass.Quote:

transplant them, just be carefull. silly, i know. then when you replant them take stinkys and others advice. plant to just under the lowest set of leaves. i would deffinately be watering by more than capfulls, but make sure to let it dry somewhat in between. a moist, not wet, not dry pot would be the easiest to work with. moisten the new pots soil some too, it will keep the transplanting hole from caving in. lol
oops, if this doesnt make sence i only read the first page.:D
read the thread man!Quote:

Looks like we have 2 females, yay!
Should I be able to identify sex in beginning of week 4 veg? Maybe I should hold out my judgement til flowering,
Any help appreciated,
Oh one other thing, the yellowing has me a little worried - but, I am holding out because the allmix is a little strong, and I was told to expect it.. Any opinions welcome, I know the infert soil is good for AT LEAST another 2 or 3 weeks before i will add biobizz fert solution into water,
Clandestine: not long now till my first FIM!!!!!! :rastasmoke:

Good deal, man! Be sure to tack another week or two onto your veg time, so that the plant has time to repair itself before flowering. You could also consider putting those ladies in bondage (LST), to let the sides can catch up to the new tops... if you have the patience to keep vegging, that is. Sometimes I've got the vegetative patience of a saint...other times, especially if my stash is running low, I can't be bothered to be any more patient than I absolutely have to! Your plants should soon be mature enough to show their sex (through pre-flowers), but you might see it quicker if you force them to flower. When I sex entire plants, I switch my main lighting to 12/12 and ease up on any fertilizers containing N for about a week prior. Males are generally discarded, and females get immediately put into a makeshift clone-box I made that has several cool spectrum CFLs running 24 hours a day. After all plants have been sexed, I move them back under the big lights until I'm ready to flower. Next time, you could also think about taking clones to determine who's who. If done correctly, you'll end up with another female plant to grow and eventually smoke!Quote:

I've found that I can avoid a lot of problems in organic grows if I do semi-regular flushes. I try to flush at least once per month. Then I follow it up by feeding with a complete fertilizer at about 1/4 the strength of what it lists on the bottle. This keeps my pH stable, and doesn't let the soil get toxic.
But you may not be suffering from salt buildup, or an imbalanced pH, so I'd recommend heading over to the Plant Problems section and fill out the Troubleshooting form. Start a new thread with as much information as you can possibly list, and you should get some tailored advice from experienced growers. I'd hate to make an inaccurate diagnosis.
Be good, my friend. Looking forward to future updates! :jointsmile:
Sorry for the double post, but I just realized that you aren't actually fertilizing yet. So, scratch everything I said about salt buildup & pH! I'd say it's about time to start feeding them some Nitrogen. Your soil has done a good job up to this point, but it can't sustain necessary nutrients for very long by itself.
Sorry again, we all succumb to responding without reading every once in a while! :jointsmile:
Thanks homes, I will keep you all updated! :-) Things moving along nicely..
Peace,
Denial
good luck,lol. and those are looking good.
coming up to 1 month old on the right, 1 week old on the left
Well yesterday I had a major issue, I come into the room and the aircon duct has decided to die on me, the whole room exceeds 35C.. I'm freaking out.. look at the plants they look kinda upset/curved a little up at the top, dang I was lucky I caught it so quick... on the other side they seemed to enjoy a pleasant discourse from their usual 20-25C environment.
Over the last few days I've mentioned that there was some yellowing at the bottom of the leaves on the pot with two plants in, got that pinned down as nute defficiency and given them some nutes and they both seem to have perked up. Gonna give the 2 plants in the big pot 1.5ml-2ml/litre biobiz biobloom and give the other older plant a modest 0-1ml in case of over fert,
I attatch about 5 pictures of my new setup, yes it shows of my nice new carbon filter! HomeMade Growtent, ducting and my 4 plants progress after exactly 32 days!! yay!
thought I better add info that the 2 other smaller plants were germinated at the beginning of february :)
Peace,
Denial
Things look to be progressing very nicely! Those plants look real healthy, given the situation with heat & nutes. That's one of the beautiful things about this plant, they're resilient as hell. Glad you discovered & fixed the problems before they could do any serious damage. Shows you're really staying on top of things. :thumbsup:Quote:

Be sure to keep updating every once in a while! Take care.
yup, things looking good now bro. Thanks for the feedback and wellwishing, I appreciate that. Adding 2ml to the litre of the biobizz biobloom 2.0-6.0-3.5 -we're still in veg so it is a bit risky as I am pretty sure this plant food is more for BLOOMING than vegging.. I can't afford any more ferts now so hopefully this is OK, any advice welcome,Quote:

As you can see it literally looks like its been "blown out" inside out. Not sure what to do if they say it's my fault, I have an electrical background and really am not sure how the FUCK anyone can be responsible for a screw popping out the base like this.
Please also bare in mind that I think it failed whilst in use rather than due to handling etc :-( oh sigh.. always something eh guys! :mad:
Wish me luck!

Just a suggestion man, have you heard of a cooltube?? Here's a link to my old grow when I first got it, you can keep the light much closer to the tops with it, very very useful man..

Hah yeah.. you are 100% right bro. Everything has been pretty hard but went quite smoothly, then my carbon filter dies in week 4 veg, goddamnit!! I emailed the retailer in the morning at like 5am or something, no reply all day. Ima just gonna take the bastad thing back to the store with the receipt, I only bought it 6 days ago so, wish me luck 'yo! :-) Thanks for the advice, still got the AC going, the rvk is more for the smell extraction. Legal or no I think ya gotta worry about people messing with ya's :-) I'll let y'all know if the retailer gives me shit (I dunno why I just got a bad feeling they will :( ).Quote:

Hey dude, yeah I looked at the DIY cooltube that was done on here in the FAQ's if I recall, I could probably make something similar out of two drain pipes and some high velocity industrial 30mm fans. (maybe 3 or 4) .. ahh I am going to have to go and make that shit now. Thanks for the superb advice homes :thumbsup:Quote:

There are some new sealed hoods out now that reflect in the 4 corners instead of 1 huge intensity in the middle. I'm thinking of trading in my cool tube and enclosed hood for a couple of those. You could consider that or just wait until my LED arrays come out, but those are going to be expensive.
thanks for the advice opie, I haven't done anything yet with the DIY cooltube, I'll let you know how things go though I have some parts on order :-D
As Promised, I figure it's time to post some picture updates of the babies.. some are nice and close :-) These plants are not without their problems as I had some issues controling temperature until the growbox is finished..
Hope you guys like, any advice appreciated, I have been trying to sex them but I think it might be a bit early to say.. another week or two..
Peace,
Denial
and the rest!
These 5 pictures above and 4 pictures below are at 1 month 4 days VEG under the 400W HPS. Using biobizz biobloom 1litre to 3ml ratio (3:1000).
Peace,

I've got the extractor replaced now, woo
Peace,

denial your plants are looking nice and healthy except for that little bit of droop. I don't think it's much to worry about, mine used to do that all the time, but if you spray a little liquid light on them they'll stretch out and reach for the stars like good leaves are supposed to.
Also if you would set your camera to program instead of auto you could force the flash, and that would help us see what your plants really look like.
Thanks Opie, I think I have worked out what is causing the droop, its the temperature fluctuations in the night. Moving the AC to cool the room instead of the cupboard worked a treat. I think it is just because the AC is very cold air it might be a bit of a shock. I will need to be careful where I install the fans inside the growbox as a result.Quote:

Peace,
Denial
Here are some more pics, the last two are the pictures of the two plants I FIM'ED after about 4-5 days.
would a kind Moderator perhaps move this thread to grow logs section? :D Thanks!

Hey D,
Still looking very good, my friend! About your FIM, it's not too easy to tell from the pictures, but it sort of looks like you may have not snipped quite enough of the top shoots off to redirect the growth hormones. Did you take off all but about 10% of the new growth from that shoot when you cut it? If you just snipped the tips, then the plant will just grow that shoot out, funky looking (snipped) leaves and everything.
No big deal, though. This is all a learning process, and you naturally can't expect everything to go right on your first grow log! But, at the least, it looks like just about everything else is going smoothly. Glad to see that... I'm really pulling for you to have a kickass harvest. For all the hard work you've put in already, you definitely deserve one. I can't seem to remember, but is this your first ever grow... or just the first time you've documented a grow? Regardless of the answer, things are looking great! Keep up the good work, looking forward to future updates.
Sorry for double posting, but I decided to FIM one of my seedlings. This cut was made right above the fourth node, and actually ended up snipping two growing shoots. Hopefully the new branching will be visible in a few days, but the plant is still pretty young (about 2 1/2 weeks old), so it may take a little longer to show visible results. I'll post an update when there's something new to see.
Thanks mr Clandestine, my guardian and soulkeeper for my medicine of choice! Everwatching, everypresent in wait for the THC marvel of a lifetime!Quote:

OH well like you say, i've learnt very well how NOT to do it. Maybe I should stick to topping in future hehehe. If anyone has anymore idiot-proof advice/instructions on FIM or what I did wrong I am super super listening to you. I really wanted to get this right!
This isn't my first grow clandestine, I have grown red hair skunk before. Which is why I chose it this time. I've just never really attempted an indoor grow. :D So far, so good, other than a bit of yellowing.. and the other problems I mentioned in thread.
Thanks for looking all! I will be sure to keep the updates coming.
Peace 2 you,
Denial
you truly are a kind heart mr C! Again you have answered one of my questions/requests before I get the chance to post/ask!Quote:

I'm tempted to "leave" the other 2 babies I have.. few weeks old now and go into 12/12 for march 1. I don't want these flowering in the hot summer. That would suck :D too warm.. at least for indoors,
Thanks again man!
Peace,
Denial
You know, I rarely ever prune my plants... and actually prefer to just start training right around this time with seedlings. To be honest, it's probably been two or three years since I topped/FIM'd anything. The plant I made the cut on is actually one of the runt seedlings, and I'm half expecting it to be male anyway. Really just wanted to make an example out of it, since its pollen means NOTHING to me! If it turns out to be a lady, then I really hope this FIM works! Coupled with LST, the results can be pretty wicked. We'll see what happens.Quote:

A Quick Update for Today!
As you will all see I have updated my grow chamber a little. I have added hardboard around the outside of it covered in a reflective white material.
I am now giving nutes to all 5 plants as they are a little bit yellow at the bottom, using a 5ml to 1litre of bio-bizz biobloom. (0.005% solution).
I've now finally added a nice door on the chamber so I can now sit in the same room the chamber is in and not feel like I am overwhelmed by aliens. Also the added bonus is the neighbours do not think my basement has been taken over by aliens. Wohoo!
On a more mature note, it's almost lightproofed now, need to add a ceiling panel (with some extraction holes), a few 120mm inlet fans on one side, and finish lightproofing any gaps, which includes the back - as it has no panels on the back - just a wall :)
currently heat flow is so good/ambient I'm tempted not to add a ceiling or backs , but think I will anyways!
Thanks for all the advices homes, things are coming along very nicely now, I think I am almost ready for flowering :D !!!!
If anyones wondering those ropes are secure, yes.
Peace,
Denial
I've also done a "Switch to 24/0 light schedule and don't worry... about a thing... every little thing... gonna be all right." - StinkyAttic
thanks stinkeh :D
some more pics, as you can see there is some yellowing but I |think| I have that under control with the nutes I mentioned in the post above, anyone?
Peace 2 all,
Denial
one of the newer plants has shown its sex, female, yay.
Still got another 3 or 4 that need to identify themselves, I am not sure why the older ones are taking so long to sex.. mm
Any ideas anyone?
One thing, as of today the 3 bigger plants are 1 month and 13 days (born 14 jan) old. The two younger plants are about a month old (born ~1 feb) now.
Peace,
Denial
