my first log...closet case

well i transplanted the last of my plants(the ones the dog chewed)...and they've exploded,and looks like they are going to pass up the other three:D...so that makes 5 in veg...18/6...33,400lm....not bad,however i germinated 3 northern cali strain seeds,2 have cracked open,showing root shoots...maybe t-plant today/tomorrow...gonna make a small mobile grow box,as i like to keep seedlings on 24/0 for a month or so...but i got high hopes for this run...after smokin bagweed for 35 years,this should be a real treat,an if it is...clone clone clone...my old lady is SO lucky we don't have a garage................:smokin:

i didn't know shit about "growin" 'til i got here...what you see below, is a result of a lot of reading, questions,and more importantly YOUR responses...and despite my bull dogs best efforts,i think this crop is comming along nicely(a little slow maybe?)...these photos were taken 1/2 hr. before sleep cycle...they are....SHAGGY....family photo..some northern cali strain,breakin ground....the twins...and swamp thing....:smokin:

how long have they been in veg?
pic 5 looks like mine but 3 inches bigger isit an indica?
looking good though m8 :cool:

i really don't know...i'd say that pic #1 and #5 are indica...the other three are sativa....although,i think the one i topped ,is an indo/sativa cross,(not pictured)...as far as veggin time,2-3 weeks,maybe more...i only remember the plant time..2 months ago i planted these seeds...uncracked...everybody's still under a foot tall,but bushing very nicely,i think at 2 feet,i'll start the flower stage....and heres a pic of the one i topped...4 days ago....:smokin:

well i said i wasn't doin LST time,but the way these two plants are growin...it's a no-brainer...4 point tie-down....may keep them tied ,all the way thru harvest....here's a before and after............:smokin:

when i first started out,the closet was perfect....now,with just 5 plants,room is fading fast.and i want to put in more lights..and whats gonna happen when the flower cycle starts??...no,the closet just ain't cuttin it...so,i'm building a small 4'x6'x8' grow box...using two walls and the ceiling,,i'm gonna get some carbon activated furnace filters,(from H.D.)and cover the intake/exhaust holes,and force air thru them...a side perk,is,i'll be able to control the odors,...a major concern of mine since this project started...i'll put up pics,when the construction starts...:smokin:

I am right there with you boss! I am 46 now, never grown a single stem...yet. Starting a new project very soon. When I started $20.00 got me a sandwhich bag full of what was called pot then. Now I find myself thanking my friends for selling me 1/8's for $60.00. I smoke one a week so for 4 weeks of smoking I can have the money to grow my own and have as much as I can grow.

Anyway it is nice to see I am not the lone newbie old timer here!:thumbsup:

ya..that over-priced weed never set right with me...10$ "lids"..80$lbs...thats the world i grew up in...then, BAM,the law forced us underground,driving the price up like a race car,sure it tastes great,pretty powerful too,from what i hear...but i'm annoyed at payin 100$ oz...much less astronomical prices...so for about 150$(i'm a tight ass)...i made my own set-up(you know you can throw thousands at a system,but it's just me and the mrs),and if i can harvest 3 lbs a YEAR,and never have to hunt it down or drive with it commin home,i'd be right pleased....good luck to you and your grow:thumbsup:

just bought a 400 w hps/mh set-up...gets here friday...:D

this is a first attempt to increase yields per plant,plants 5-6 have been in LST for 2-3 weeks...plant 4,i LST'ed,last night,...it was previously topped 2-3 weeks ago,and i noticed ..."growths"...at the plant nodes,more than likely"male".....too bad,this was my biggest effort in LST...this bitch would have had 12 heads...any way here's the pics
