my new grow 07/08

UPDATING. here they are after the re-pot. it looks they react very well, is the first 3 pics from left to right: liamba(Africa),hash plant and the skunk( not pure) i put some mexican sativa genetics in this skunk( i cross one mexican sativa female with one skunk nº1 male, she gift me with more than 100 very healthy seeds.now i cant wait to see and smoke the end result from this one).
the last 2 pics is the mexican sativa(Sensi Seeds) F2 generation seeds made by "me". again i cross one mexican male(F1 generation) with one mexican female(F1 generation) and give me more healthy seeds.
the last 2 plants i have to re-pot today or very soon. the first 3 plants i go top them maybe tomorow.
i love to know what you people think about my grow.:rastasmoke:

They look REALLY healthy. You need more light if you want them to stay shorter and not as lanky.

Lookin' good bro!

What I would do next time around, is bring those CFLs closer to the plant, as to reduce stretch. OR, like I did yesterday; pickup a few shoplights. I like them ALOT, mainly for the lack of heat. I've got 4 t-12 fixtures with 2 40watt cool white bulbs in each. The numbers just seem to workout PERFECTLY; 6 sq. feet is covered by 320 watts (25,600 lumens), giving me OVER 4,000 lumens per square foot, and I get to use em ALL, thanx to the low bulb temps! Another thing I like, is the clear bulb covers. I've been misting my veg. twice a day and I like to keep the moisture off of the bulb. It also makes it possible for the plant to TOUCH the bulb (casing) without any stress or burn.

So it sounds like you've got the topping down to a science, nice! All of that secondary growth will reach for the sky as soon as you pinch the top.

One other thing you want to do is drill a couple of extra holes on the sides of your pots, about 5-6 inches from the bottom.

Keep up the good work man:thumbsup:

thank you stinky, yes i have to buy a couple more of CFLs and keep the next plants close as possible from the bulbs. the next month when i come back from dam marijuana disneyland with my new great strains(i decide to buy the white widow,papaya and hindu kush, i aceppt sugestions), now with my actual grow is more to see how the plants grow and they strecht a bit, but i go top the plants in the 10th node and see how the secondary growth grow and the stem and branches also get thicker, i think.

thanks chron, yes i go pinch the tops tomorow and see how the secondary growth "explode".
yes i have to drill a couple extra holes for sure, thanks for the tips,and good luck for your grows chronisseur. soon i post pics from the plants with the tops cut off.

Dude what kind of soil is that? it seems kinda muddy and doesn't look to have any perlite. Get some better soil and add a cup of perlite per gallon and you will se amazing growth. The roots can't breath in compacted soil... thats why hydro is so good the roots can breathe...

thanks for the tip, but i go put this plants in soil outdoors i just find the perfect spot. this soil is organic dark soil with some fibers and horse manure, and is very lightly.
p.s. the soil is not muddy is just dark.

hello people, after returning from my trip and with new genetics for my grows i found my girls a little funny maybe is the lack of light from the last 10 days(i left the plants inside the house with only few light from the outside. i love to know what you think.
here are some pics of the girls, i top them and left one untopped. topped 10 days ago. they have now almost 2 months from seed.
p.s. in the last days its raining and cloudy. no sun at all.

more pics from secondary growths, any advice is welcome.
