[attachment=o218483] Surprisingly this plant was my best seed germinated and my best germinated seed to plant until I stabbed 2 holes in the friggen leaves. It now looks like again it still will be the monster as it is way fuller and bigger than the others. I hope its a she. Haha I feel like a father already.
Sooo.ya.
They are growing very fast, I let the soul dry up for about 4-5 days, soil still was moist but not wet at all. I think the best way to grow is to give them a bit less than too much. When the water in the soil evaporates or gets used up for food the soil looses its moisture and the plant goes looking for water. This is a good and bad thing. Too much starvation of water will give you tons of roots and may cause you re pot to early, and obv having too much water will cause root rot or just drown the poor thing. Ive been using about 1.75 cups of water for the smaller plants and about 2-2.5 for the two larger pots im using. Im basing my watering schedule on the number of days and the weight of the plant according to how heavy it felt when watered. I wait 3-4 days and check to see how heavy the pot is, if its very light and i can stick my finger in about 1.5 inches and its dry, its watering time. Next time I am deff going to start in smaller pots so that the roots develop more, these 5 pots I have should last untill the end of week 3, or at least until I notice them getting root bound. Havent juiced them up on anything yet and dont think Im going to until about week 4-5 when I start to flower. The stems are getting really really strong and the fan is deffinitly helping.
I was having some trouble with the temperature tho. Being at the top of my appartment building it gets very humid and hot, which I was unaware of being this is my first place. temps were rocking 86 -87 degrees and this was with an exhaust fan. So I went out and got some air conditioners for the house and they are working like charms, holy crap. 78.5 - 80 degrees, perfect condition. I am very pleased so far and will updat in a day or two.
Time to smoke a "blunt" object :jointsmile:

AC's are the fucking shit. Above my box we have dental air so it blows down directly to my passive intake. Best investment in the AC's on your part!

Ya the AC is working amazing. Once I change the door so I can add a carbon filter Im going to have an intake fan at the top and the filter at the bottom. MMMM cant wait. Im on Day 12 and they are looking amazing, Im starting to have to move the lights a bit cuz they are getting wings. The only thing Im a tad concerned about is on 2 of my plants the leaves are starting to curl upwards a tad and on 3 of them they have 1 small dot like yellowing. I think he dots may be due to water and the lights working like a magnifying glass, but I watered them 3-4 days ago. I checked the soil 15 mins ago and it felt pretty dry about an inch down and the pots feel light like they did before so. I think Ill water them, but today after working im making a watering calender b.c Im almost into week 2 and Im starting to forget lol. But ya here are some pics of day 12 in the morning.
Feel free to let me know what your thoughts are about the little yellow markings.

looks like you're using a few different recipes on the soil too.

Curling could be from your light being just a lil too close?? I responded about the spots in the other thread :0 looking good so far!!

They are 12 days into veg.
I am using a mix of 6500k and 4100k cfls, currently 2 4100k 40 watters, one per plant making 2 of them, and 3 6500k cfls, one on each of the 3 left over.
[attachment=o218755]
Here is a plant under the 6500k

Here is the 4100k, you can see how it grows a bit more bunched together.

Im going to wait a day or so before updating again so we can see a big difference.

so you made no attempt to post your plant problems in your own log but you will post them in someone elses? nice. did you even post in the plant problems section?
how about you try posting here and see what happens. just because people aren't commenting doesn't mean that they aren't following. that little number, the number to the right of the amount of responses is the number of views.
what is the pH of the water you are giving your ladies? fill out the troubleshooting form (found in my sig) and post in the plant problems forum.
