A few more
Looking at some other grow logs the plants are alot taller than mine by now, they have about the same amount of leaf sets as the others this age but mine are short and stocky and the distance between the leaf sets is very minimall Is this normal? do I need more light? I just feel like their highth is stunted but Im not really sure considering this is my first grow so if anyone else could let me know, I am mid week 3 of veg from seed, I have 10 23 watt 6500k cfls and 3 68watt 2700 cfls in my room, any advice is much apriciated.

So i think I messed up I was reppoting the kids into their new homes and my biggest one half of the roots broke off, and now the leaves are a lil curled and dried, there is still sign of new growth so I dont think its dead just almost, the others are doin ok, I also started a side DWC side project out of a ice cooler seems to be doin alright, any advice or tips is much apriciated.

A few more dont be too hard on me bout my DWC I am just messing around to see what I can do.
I've come to the conclusion that bag seed is not the way to go. Mass produced like hermie WTF stuff haha. Out of the twelve I started, and this came from amazing nug, I started thinking how this nug could have seeds. To be dumb enough to keep a male in that nug, and with how much I saw, I realized if I ge seeds in my good weed then it prob hermied. Bad weed yeah, outdoor could have males and stuff. Honestl I'd trust a swag seed over like a seed in some kush or something, the crap would at least most likely be male/female and not hermie, and I mean I can grow it better, because with bag seed it's like a box of chocolates, who the fuck knows what you'll be smokin haha.
Haha sorry Stoney bologna didn't finish.
Out of the twelve I started I flowered the four most health, every single one hermie. The one I kept (check my current grow) stopped givin me nanners And is in full flower now, but the other three no doubt would have been straight lady gaga's so it wasn't worth it.
Sucks, living somewhere that considers self medication a criminal act, seeing as that's why I couldn't get good seeds and went with the bag seed jammies
It is Mersh/shwag seeds
Word man. Haha I wish u better luck than I had! Subscribed!
Sorry if that was off topic but just came to mind as I was reading...
:-)
Should I just kill this one and start a new one or is it worth saving when i was repotting half of the roots broke off on accident and the leafs are dried and curled any advice from anyone on what to do with this plant if it is going to affect the yeild in a big way then I might as well start a new seed since its a young plant.
COOLWHIP
Eek! Well, it might survive, or it might not. If it does survive, the vertical growth will likely be stunted for a while while the plant re-establishes new roots. There are people far more knowledgeable that myself who could make a better call.
Well they all look pretty good so far I topped a few of them, the one I almost killed seems to be still alive it has lots of side growth and new branches, Just watered today I think I might have nute burned a few of them I am going to cut the dose in half for next feeding
A few more I think I am going to start flower in another 2 weeks
Any tips or advice??????
From anyone????
Update Topping the plants worked out great, I tried to fimm one but I dont think I cut enough off or something because it didnt work,
I cant wait to start flowering them hope they are all females I am mid week 4 of Veg now.
I know the one looks over watered I am going to cut back on it and let it dry out good for a few days.
They are very small for 1 month old but at least they are green and fairly healthy looking. How old are the plants in the hydroton pebbles? They seem to be much happier.
Keep plugging away Coolwhip, fingers crossed for all females. :thumbsup:
They are 4 weeks as well, I thought they seened small compaired to other logs on here,
Today is Start of week 5 from seed

If the girls in the hydroton are a month old then they are laggining in growth. I'm in the process of of completing my first hydro run and expierienced a few issues early on but after a month, I pretty much had a tree.
I think they are all lagging in growth but dont understand why, I am trying to get a successfull grow under my belt before I go to the local club and purchase clones,
This could be one of the reasons why they are a little behind. Topping slows down growth for a week, sometimes more.Quote:

Do they look Indica or Sativa
They have broad leaves, so they will be on the Indica side.
When should I start flowering them?
As you are growing with CFL's and not doing LST or SCROG, it would be best if you put them into flower before they get too large. At 28 days veg my plants are around 14-16" high and they are about 26" high once they have stretched during the 1st 2 weeks of flower. Even at this height my 2x125w CFL's struggle to penetrate the lower leaves and I am only growing 2 plants.
If they were mine, I would wait till they get 12" tall and then go into flower or I would just flower them now and see how I got on. The longer you veg the more bud you will get, as long as you can give the plants enough light and food to make it.
If you plan to keep using CFL's have a read up on LST and SCROG for your next grow, it should give you a better harvest than just letting them grow naturally.
(the only reason I am letting mine grow naturally is because I want to test how much these techniques increases harvest size by)
Thanks for all the tips phatjay, everyone else agree to put them into flower this week?? when i start to flower them how long should i leave them in the dark before I start the 12/12, or should I just start 12/12.
the rest of them, the last one is the one that I had tried to fimm but it didnt work out thats why the leafs looked trimmed.
Well just an update, I took ur advice phatjay and kicked them into flower today is day 3 flower for them I will post pictures later today they have really started to get tall in the last 3 days, no sign of sex yet, anyone know how long before i will start to see signs of sex?
You should see signs of sex within 2 weeks of switching to 12/12.
Pictures as promised, thanks again phatjay, your grow looks really good i hope my buds looks half as good as that I switched all but 2 of my 6500k over to 2700k for flowering, its going to be a long 2 weeks I feel like I am checking on them every hlaf hour to see signs of sex lol
The rest of the crew
Ill be looking to you guys to help determine sex and telling me when to harvest cause being this is my first atempt at growing I am a noob
Can anyone explain why the yellow/browning of the lower leaves?
My initial reaction would be you need more light hitting those bottom leaves, if they do not produce in terms of photosynthesis the leaves will begin to wither, and eventually die and fall off.
But, if you are not using nutes yet, now would be the time to start adding more Nitrogen to the diet, could also be magnesium, but more commonly you see N deficiency. Start out using half the recommend dosage, I recommend Jack's Classic All Purpose, it is very cheap about $6.00 at your local nursery that carry's it, effective, and 100% organic. Eventually you will need Blossom Booster, but that is later in the game. Since you are most likely using a soil that does not have very many nutes, you may want to invest in Fox Farms Ocean Forest Organic mix, mixed with 40% perlite (miracle grow brand is good - ONLY FOR PERLITE!!)
You can find it by typing your zip code in here:
Buy Jack's Classic Plant Food -- J.R. Peters, Inc., Fertilizer Manufacturer
Good luck, post back as soon as you give it a try, let us know how you do!
On a side note:
It could be possible that it is normal for those leaves to die off, its natural, but I would still give the half strength nutes a shot.
How many bulbs are you running now and how many plants?
I have 10 23watt 2700k and 3 68watt 2700k cfl in the room right now, is that enough?
