At the bottom of the first page of the thread is a picture of one of your ladies... I noticed the bottom leaves spotting brown and looking almost yuck yellow or neonish.... I am having the same problem and dont know if it is overwatering or rootbound or what... but it looks like yours got over it.. could you let me know what it was and how you cured it?
I posted a reply to your message. I should add that they looked def over-watered...
so they were over watered??? thats what the brown spotting was?? did it cure in time or waht did you do
I believe the brown spotting was from root cramping and the broad and dark green fan are a result of over watering. So transplant and hold back on a watering or just until they start drooping and then resume the fluid schedule. Those leaves will never be "healthy" again so you have to concentrate on the new growth.
Make sense? I am kinda hazy so it may be just gibberish... lol :stoned:
TehNooblet:pimp:
def makes sense its what i just did too haha awesome... def hazy here too:pimp: 100
I don't know about other people, but when I transplant I like to hold back on the watering. It seems like it kick starts the new root growth and seemed to help so far... I'll post pictures tonight if I can get my hands on that dang camera.
do you have a strict watering/feeding schedule? I cant seem to get one down.. I think every other watering with nutes is what i am going to do probably twice a week and then twice a week water... do you think that will be bad considering they will really only be getting around 6-8 feedings before going to flowering
I don't have a strict watering schedule at all. I think the majority says you need to water according to how the soil feels. If you can feel knuckle deep in your soil and it is dry then you should water or if you know the weights of your jugs by feel you can do the lift test. Check around though too. I am still on my first grow and I have a LOT of questions too. :D lol

Also some advice on making it show pre-flowers I had 2 big bitches in veg and they say it's not good to put a plant into flowering until it shows pre-flowers (stress) so what I did was put them into complete darkness (no light leak) for 36hrs 24 is not enough and 48 is too much you should see signs of pre-flowers after the 36hrs and then put them into flowering following the 12 on 12 off schedule.
Looks like you got everything under control, just trying to help anyone I can as this site does the same for me, I am starting a grow log soon, so you can drop by and check out my setup I think I got it down.
I just put my girls into flower the 15th I believe and I am seeing signs of sex. I have my fingers crossed and am hoping for the best turn-out. I don't want males!
So now that the "ladies" have been in flower for a little while and it appears that I may only end up with 2 or 3 ladies. The rest have nuts...
I'll have pics tonight

Hey, 2 or 3 ain't bad. Better than 1 or none. That ratio would make sense, you have 5 or 6 total, right? Looking good. Makes me want to try organic soil and no nutes when I get my cab set up. It will be interesting to see how flowering goes.
what was the time interval from when they were in the cups from your last pic???? also any new pics
I actually had 9 starting with and am seeing nuts on the majority. I will post pics in a few hrs.
I went from seed to cups in a week. The end of that week would have been Jan 9th. So since Jan 9th Ayyxbleezy.

Sorry for the lack of pix and the quality. I was attempting to get a close up of the pollen sacks, but seem to have failed miserably...
I tried to get a few more, but I didn't get home in time and the lights turned off.
*Note to self- Never use above a 3 gallon pot.*
I am having trouble getting the soil dry and know it is because I am using the 5 gallon buckets...
TehNooblet:pimp:
Wowzers, your plants are hyooooooje compared to mine. :thumbsup:
I don't think my little stinkers will ever get there. Yeah I plan on finishing in 3 gallon buckets.
Also, sorry to hear about all the males. In your pic it definitely looks like a male. Make sure to take clones off of your females!
Cloning is the way to go for your leftover females! Sorry about the turnout unfortunatly I got nailed with the same situation you did as in all my shit being male. Clone those ladies it not difficult! Then you can have your nine again with just a few snips! If you think about think fasstt it gets more and more difficult to clone as flower progresses. :thumbsup:Quote:

TehNooblet:pimp:
Here are a few pictures from tonight. I got in the room with like 5mins to spare and was rushed so I didn't get very many quality pictures...
TehNooblet:pimp:
Your fictional crop looks delicious, clone some, plant some more :)
haha I am glad you like my fictional grow. I will probably try cloning this weekend.
I am starting to really see the buds. I have three ladies that seem to be doing okay. I am having trouble with my 5 gallon buckets drying out so I am getting signs of over-watering.
I decided not to clone. I really don't know what I am doing on this grow and don't want to clone mediocre plants.
If I can get my damn camera to focus on the correct part of the plant I will post some pictures.
TehNooblet:pimp:
So I have been in flower for about two weeks and can't wait until I get to harvest. lol I am terrible at the waiting game...
Here are a few pics.
I apparently didn't get rid of the bugs and am having a few issues with them chewing on my leaves in a few spots...
TehNooblet:pimp:
*looks at pictures and makes awkward noises then drools*
still not going with any nutes??? plants looks very healthy :thumbsup:
You are correct marcaka! Still not a single nute. I am really surprised they are doing this well too. Just goes to show that it really is a WEED... I know I would have a better harvest if I did use nutes, but I wanted my first grow to just be basic. Learn what I need to do differently with my lighting, soil, potting sizes, watering schedules, blah, blah, blah, etc... You get the picture.
You crack me up bus, but I know what you mean. I love me some bud-porn! My wife always says that the only lady she has to worry about catching me in bed with is Mary Jane. I just say "Believe me, if I could I would." :D
Will post pictures a few pictures tomorrow.
TehNooblet:pimp:
I also love that you're going with no nutes! If you weren't doing it, I'm sure someone would say it can't be done. Btw, I think the picture if you holding the plant is cool. It's like the straightest plant I've ever seen.
If you would like to speed up the rate of the soil drying try drilling holes into the side of the bucket. I just transplanted my 2 month old mother into a 5 gallon bucket because I was pondering SCROG. Now shes loving the bucket and bounced back from the transplant so lovely I would hate to pull her back out.:( The crappy part is ya gotta get the drill bit the pulls the plastic away from the hole so you roots aren't being mixed with it. But honestly 5 gallon buckets are for trees:)
Your girls are lookin good!
Haven't seen a lot of bud growth, but it seems to be steady. Here are a few pics. You will notice that the leaves are looking a little wack, but it was from my soil not drying out and I had a bout of bad ph. The new growth looks healthy though so I am hoping I got it figured out.
TehNooblet:pimp:
def looking good T3.... maybe check out my log and give me a few pointers I have a few young ladies that I dont think I am going to feed nutes of because of you lol :pimp:
maybe u could take a look and help me out on this...

I was checking out the ladies and noticed that one of them has a lot more bud than the others. I love it!
TehNooblet:pimp:
hey does one smell noticeably more than the other plant? In my experience, some of the stinkiest plants during veg tend to be males. Way to go though, your plants are exhibiting incredibly compact growth under the cfls.
Hey, thanks for the input paideiadude. I did notice that my males were pretty stinky during veg. I didn't think about it at the time, but it seems true in my opinon.
Anyway, the ladies seem to be wearing their feather coats thick this season and it just seems to be getting better and better!
Here are a few more pictures. A few of them were from this weekend.
Let me know what you think!
TehNooblet:pimp:
Wow, I bet you had a good weekend. ;)
When you look at your first posts, the leaves look a lot more indica, but in the last few, you can really tell that these are sativa dominant plants by the thin leaves. I bet you're going to get some kind of cerebral high! ...especially if you harvest with only a few amber trichomes. (chatty, uplifting, motivating, depression killing, etc)
Did you ever make any guesses as to what kind the mothers were?
I have no clue what the mothers were. I do remember that it was just a sack of reggie with a pretty good high. I actually had them pegged as a hybird when they were little, but yea, you can def tell that they are sativa pre-dom.
I thought about harvesting a little at a time so I can see what the different highs will be like with this particular plant. Is it worth a try to harvest some with different trichome colors? Like I do an initial harvest, but leave half of the product on and then do two or three more little harvests down the rode?
I know some people do it just because that is how their bud grows, but I want to do it specificlly to get different highs. Any ideas?
TehNooblet:pimp:
Here are a couple pics. It is just before watering. I let them go for a little bit just to be sure the pots were dry.
TehNooblet:pimp:
well yeh, you can screw around and harvest little bits and label everything and all...
t3hnooooob, everythings looking good, just started my first grow and i'm planning to log everything also!
Thanks for the motivation and experience that came from this read:thumbsup:
Hey, thanks for reading guys! I will be posting pictures a little bit later today, but am in a pinch for time and can't get to it. They are all looking good. The buds are looking amazing. I can't wait to be done with this week (week 3 of flowering) and get on to the harvesting week! muwahahahaha
