Well one was over watered, but it will work er self out now. But this is what it looks like under the lights now. I had my friend get them more close together, to be able to pick up light from both fixtures.
24 days for the 3 Skunk #1/Haze #5, which are front right and the 2 on the right hand side in 2nd pic
Unsure to the Edna's, but they are the two on in the left pic. Time is in log, so i guess il go back and confirm. They were only put in a pot last night:rasta:
LSY be careful using clear containers, the combination of water, light, heat & oxygen can cause algae. Paint the outside or cover with newspaper.
Hey Hemp thanks for the advise, but the crappy pic's dont show its not clear. I know the roots would die as soon as the light would hit them. Its actually a white big butter container. I needed to get it out of the Dew bottle, as you could see the roots, which would have killed em.Quote:

Im not sure if it was my fault setting it up or the timer just isn't any good. I am playing with it now to see what the problem is.
They look ok so far to me, but really am wanting to start to flower soon. If they grow to twice as big as they are by starting flower now, id be happy. I was a bit too generous, giving to much of my summer grow away and had my last doobie last night. But my good friend is giving me back some i gave him, to get me to harvest:thumbsup:. Hes a great friend:thumbsup:
Here are a couple crappy pics of whats goin on:rasta:
Edna's are the plants in 3rd pic, not well seen but on the left.
Last pic is a better Edna pic
Skunk/Haze are the bigger ones in first 2 pics on the right. A seed surprised me late by popping after it had been in the dirt awhile after everything was re potted. One mistake was i didnt grem my seeds at the same time. The extra Skunk/Haze which was just a seed that took a week longer then the other two to pop. But the Edna's i germed later, but they are really doing well.
Those timers can get stuck, test it on a lamp or something first. Spin it a few times to loosen it up.
Your plants are coming along real well.
definitely looking good LSY!
if you are worried about the timer, in the future when you can, pick up one of those 15A timers that you see in pro's grow rooms. i think they can be had for $20-30. just a thought.

LSY,
Shake's post reminded me, I bougth two of those digital programmable 7 day timers at Home Depot recently. They were on close out for $4 each. If you want one let me know I could mail or ups it to you.
I definitely recommend these, I have a few for various purposes(including plants) and they work great! Best part is you can set like 7 different timers and have em go for any individual day, just the weekdays or weekends, or every day. Plus they have the grounded outlet so you can plug your heavy duty crap in there...Normally like $15-20 it's still cheap.Quote:

My appologies to LSY if it's getting too off topic, but I wish the battery backup were better. I found they sometimes only last for a little bit, and if the circuit gets a surge it'll all reset...quality control issues?
I probably need to change my battery its a year old, but I never had a problem when using a good battery. Mine are Intermatic brand, its plugged into a surge strip, I don't use anything w/o some protection.
