What strain would you pick?
Hello,
I'm uploading a couple of pictures.
The first 3 I'd like you to see the yellowing leaves. I ain't going insane for them, because, overall, the plants are healthy. But, I'm getting those yellowing leaves @ the bottom.
I've been feeding them (for the last 2 waterings): Brita water, SuperTHRIVE and Schlutz Cactus Juice.
The fourth picture is a view of the best-looking growth... in my opinion.
The 5th picture if a "overall" view of the girls.
Hey Rasta, question: What do you think of taking a clone of the female (when known), then re-plant that little clone to grow it to be our new "mother plant". Then it's not going to be all bent and stuff. ???
Good day everyone,

Hello,
More questions:
I'm uploading a picture. You can see the grow cabinet there, and a couple of lines I drew.
The red line measures about 45inches... the total usable height of the box.
The green line is about 12 inches high (from the Mylared bottom). I plan on using a big Sterilite tub... about 12 inches high... I was planning on using a shorter tub, but maybe I'll run out of root space. That would suck.
Anyway, my doubts: I plan on leaving about 8 inches between the top of the tub, and the SCRoG's screen. Is this enough?
If done this way, the SCRoG would be filled more or less like the picture with the mother plants. Thus, the light would be about 12" away from the canopy.
I can still lower the light, and raise it about 5 inches.
Ideas? Thank you for your time :)

Arrgghhhh....
Vegetative state :p
GARDEN! Are those 8 inches enough for the SCRoG screen? About how much inches can I expect of vertical cola growth?
Thank you, May God be With You,

Hello... got all of my timers today!!! WuuuhuuuuUUUU!!!!
I'm planning on cloning for sex tomorrow, or at most, on Saturday. Rasta! Yes, I'll transplant on Saturday at most... :)
QUESTION: I was thinking... if I'm going to have tiny ass clones... and I'm going to 12/12 them to determine sex,.... what do you say if I let them live after I find out their sex... Why? Well, I was thinking that the small-ass female buds will get pollinated by the small-balls male sacks and make me a couple of seeds.
Ideas? Will it work? Yes? No? Only getting out 3.2 seeds? Input, please :)
May The Lord Bless You All,

Hey turtle, I must confess I did not read everything..
question..
why do you havethe plants so high.. if you have any concern about vertical space, lower your plants NOW.. MAke life easy on yourself : )
As you know, your plants are going to double in size (at least) when you 12/12. The screen will be fine if it is at the same height of your plants when you start the 12/12.
What state? c'mon?
I love you

Thanks for replying gKnowm...
Here's the run-down (what do you think):
The plants you're seeing are my mother plants. I'm going to clone for sex tomorrow or Saturday... once I know, kill my males. Keep the females. Always keep the females. :thumbsup:
After that, I take clones again (I'm thinking somewhere between 4 and 8) and start my actual grow. The grow will consist of the NutraMist fog system.
QUESTION: Will 12" Sterilite tubs be enough for root growth? Dimensions? Well, 12" high and as big as they come... as long as they fit inside 20"x40".
Ideas?

I like it. I gOOgled him and I'm reading a couple of his things. Very interesting and inspiring.
A word on "God" and "the gods":
Be not impatient in delay,
but wait as one who understands,
When Spirit rises and commands,
the gods are ready to obey.
I like it. Guess who... I'll give three KitKat bars to whomever answers correctly!

Hello girls and boys,
I'd like to give the update on the plants.
::::::
Today, I installed the X10 timers. Very very usefull things! I'd like to clear one thing up::: a couple of posts ago, I wrote that I'd be able to make ON/OFF cycles as short as 1 second with an X10 timer. I was wrong. I don't know if the limitation is software-side or hardware-side... but the shortest cycle I can do with my units is 1minute.
Other than that, I plan on buying a hole bunch of other timers to control all sorts of stuff throughout my house. Yes, they are that fun.
I setup the system to turn ON the cooling fans (90CFM cool tube + 50CFM ballast) about 2 minutes AFTER the 400W MH turns ON. The fresh air fans (Dayton 550CFM + 8" table fan) turn ON about 2 minutes BEFORE the 400W MH.
When I install the 600W HPS, I guess I'll do the same setup, but turn the HPS a couple of minutes AFTER the MH... say, 15 minutes after?
As you can see about my senseless ramblings, I'm very psyched about the X10 timers. It's very comforting to know that all timers are running at exactly the same time. You know the manual timers, where you give your self a plus/minus 20 minutes to compensate for any "global time" inconsistencies/lag. If the power goes out, the X10 controller still retains all programs (ON/OFF cycles) and the clock power... so everything will return to normal once the power comes back on.
Tomorrow, I'm going to install the 50CFM fart fan into the mother cabinet, prepare the clone's pot, cut the clones, and put them into 8/16.
QUESTION: About how long will I have to wait before they show their sex? 2 weeks?
<_-+-_><_-+-_><_-+-_>
I bought a big Sterilite tub today... it was the one that best fit the box. It's dimensions are: 12" high, 16" wide x 35" long. It has a 90 quart capacity (90/4= 22.5 gallons), or 85 Liters. I hope that's enough root growth space for 4 or 6 plants.
The more I think about the use of the NutraMist fogger setup, the more I get convinced it will probably be operating like an Ebb&Flood system. I'm guessing I'll be leaving the fogger ON for 3 minutes, then OFF for 27... two cycles per hour. During nightime, maybe 3 minutes ON, 57 OFF. ??? Ideas? Suggestions?
I need to do ASAP: Build a carbon air scrubber. 50CFM fart fan into mother cab. 2"x1" "frame" for cabinet's front wood panel (aka, the door).
I've uploaded some pictures... you can see in one of them that the plants are like SUPER MEGA taller... When I got back home, the lights were turned ON (as planned :) ). I removed the front wood panel to open my cabinet, and... HOLY SHIT! W H A T T H E F U C K ? ? ?
Apparently, during night time, the big plant decided to stretch its muscles... ripping its self free from my elaborate web of gardening cable ties... those cable ties I bought for $0.40... I'm almost sure I bought the cheapest thing Sears has ever sold in the last 5 years.
Anyways... when I saw the plants, it was like "Oh shit... now what the fuck do I do???" But I grabbed the cable ties, and with care and relaxation, got them back bent down. They're still a little sideways, but I'm sure that by tomorrow, they'll be growing up again.
I must admit that the plant, extended like 20 inches up into the air, looked gorgeous. It looked like a very healthy living organism. It would definitely make a perfect house plant. But, I'm guessing I won't see that for some time... as my mothers are tied down and my clones will be too... but I got pictures of it :D
Interesting notes on plant growth: The secondaries are growing like crazy... shooting up all over the place. When I do the transplant (shit... Rasta... dude, I don't know what to say,...) I'm guessing they'll stretch some more. I have doubts about what I'm about to do: If I cut off a couple of secondaries from my mother plant, will she grow new ones in their place? What happens to the small stub? Will I have problems down the road in getting my clone "prospects"? I guess not, as Zandor has a moFo mother plant that's like 5 or 6 years into life. ???? Sorry, stoned newb questions.
I'll post the pictures in a while... when I go to the other computer. Thanks for stopping by and reading my quasi-book. :)
