Veg room. DAY 90
A few more pics of the veg room.
Well, got some other pics from DAY 90 as well. Some of the veg and some of the flowering rubbermaid box! But I'm too tired to post anymore. Gonna have to do it tomorrow or something. Enjoy the pics. Gimmie some feedback.
OH, and here's a little teaser of the rest of the pics from DAY 90. DAMN, that's sweet.

Wow, you vegged them for nearly 3 months? Those things are going to be giants!
I think moving that bottom shelf down a bit would be the best option.. as well as lifting the lights you might be able to pull it off..
It's possible to veg plants for a long time and keep them semi-smallish, by keeping the plants in small pots and letting them get rootbound. I have a Durban Poison x Skunk #1 plant that I've been vegging since...mmm, April I think, maybe May, in a half-gallon pot. It was one of the freebie seeds from seedboutique.com, the only one that successfully germinated. I'm actually growing Blue Mystic this time, but haven't had the heart to just kill this Durban Poison x Skunk #1, so I transplanted it to a 5-gallon pot and threw it in a spare closet yesterday with some CFLs. Was thinking about buying one of those cheap Inside Sun 250 watt HPS lights too, just for that plant. *snicker*
Yea, now that I know how to keep em short, that's not going to be a problem in the future. Basically you have to have enough light so they dont stretch. I dont really think the pot size matters for height, at least not in my case, cuz if you noticed, mine got really tall while just in those little 4" rockwool cubes.
Most important is to keep strong light on her so she doesnt stretch, and topping helps stunt the vertical growth some. But like I said back on page 10 or something, I couldnt really top these plants cuz then they would grow wider and I didnt have any room for wider plants! LOL
But if you look at the one I'm doing LST on, I planted it really deep in the rockwool cube so it doesnt have that 6"-8" stretched base on it, plus I've been keeping a dedicated CFL beaming straight on her so she doesnt stretch. I've topped her once and will most likely be topping again today. :D I'm also gonna try to get good at the FIM technique and supercropping, and use it to create nice monster bushes. :D I've beeen tempted to get one of those $95 250wHPSs too! I still just might
Hey, budbreath, remember I said I cant really drop the bottom shelf down any? :) I wish I could, because that really would solve my problem. I could even put the resevoir under the left side because we're hand watering those now and they dont need a res. I'm probably gonna convince cohort that we should chop those tops on the flowering plants :( today and make them 6 to 8 inches shorter, then just hope they dont "triple" in size. Double....I might be able to handle, but not triple. Cant wait to see how it turns out! :D:D:D:thumbsup:

Page 12....ping!
Should I start another thread??
The mothers are DAY 90 from seed. These are the second run of clones. They are doing alright. Not as well as the first run. I dont really know what we're gonna do with these yet. LOL. Anyway, here they are. We've attempted to FIM 2 of them and top another.

DAY 90
DAY 18 of flowering in this rubbermaid box.
HAVE A PEEK INTO OUR AUXILIARY FLOWERBOX...
Let's take a slow stroll around my small garden...
Here are the plants in bloom. They are 18 DAYS in flower at this point. Pistils are multiplying rapidly and standing straight up. We saw trichomes for the first time today. I will put up a couple pictures that show that much better a little later.
Mind you, we were using this box soley to sex our large plants. We planned to discard these plants because we did not veg them properly. BUT, we could not. We said to ourselves, "Selves, how could you just toss them out on the street like some piece of garbage?! (gasp!) Even if you only get a 14 grams from the whole lot, it is worth it. You must go on." And so we did. :D:D:D

Note: Our large plants are about 2 weeks behind these plants, so we will have these to smoke while we wait for the large ones to dry. :D Ping!
