alright, i started to feel like a dick always posting shit in rootdoctor's thread, so i'm starting my own.
i'm growing from bagseed from some very good shit i picked up. i have one plant (something chopped down my other one) thats roughly 4 weeks old as of this posting. i will be dropping another seed and trying to grow two (or maybe 3) plants at different stages...should be fun. anyway, here's a pic of my current plant.
I didnt care that you was posting in my thread , lol. Now your getting more comfotable with growing and starting your own thread thats good. Your plants looking nice. Glad to see your plant looking heathly. Yes you should start more then one plant at a time because all that work and time you put into growing will be useless if you dont got at least one female plant.
thanks. and it wasn't just posting, that was me trying to learn from you. it was when i started posting pics to show of my plants in your thread that i was like...hmmm, maybe i should get my own. although, expect me to still come crying to you when i fork something up and need to know how to fix it
k, so here's a (kinda) weekly update on my plant. i actually did drop another seed and adjusted my lighting setup to accomodate for have a roughly 5-week old plant and a "newborn" in the same box.
the first two are my standard shots, angled down for girth, and sideways for height. the last one is a closeup of the base of the stem to show all the little white hairs covering it.
edit: never realize just how big those shots are until you load them up in a browser window and click "full size" i'll scale them down to 1600x1200 from now on, sorry
in the 1st pic when u make it really big u can see discoloration in the leafs like there are light green areas mine have the same thing is there a reason for this? also keep the big pics good detail......TIP:loose the tin foil nothing is better than tin foil
i dont' know about yours, but the discoloration on mine has been due to the light being too close and heat damage to the leaves. the plant's height was increasing so fast than every day i would find the plant touching the light, which was pretty warm. happened a lot when the plant was smaller, but once i got the light far enough away they returned to a nice shade of green. now that it's bigger, i'm just trying to find that right height to keep the light at again, and my leaves nice and green. i don't know what your setup's like, but the light could just be too close.
my plants are about 7 weeks old right now, when are you planning to flower? n witch light system are you using
well i was planning to flower maybe around 12 weeks. it really depends on what the plants look like at that time. as for light system, i'm not really sure what you mean. i'm using 2 CFL bulbs (Ott-lite Plant Grow bulbs, to be specific) and i have them on 24/0 right now.
quick update. i decided to post again since the seed i planted to replace the one that met it's end via carpenter ant (or something) broke soil. planted it three days ago, doin pretty good. and the second pic is the base of my big plant. i noticed something there that, once again, looks like female pistils to me, they're right at the center of the pic between the two smaller leaves. and so i'm asking you all, again, if i'm right or if that's just the site of some leaves that will come in (i know i'm being optimistic, but it's basically the only plant i have left now). lastly, can anyone tell if my big one's indica or sativa?
GeddaLiddleHI those are not preflowers those are just another set of leaves forming which will one day become another budsite on your plant (if its a girl).
Here is a pic of what one of my plants preflowers look like, the preflower is in the center of the pic with two white hairs comming out it:
alright cool. that pic is a lot more clear than the stuff i've been finding, thanks. how about the type, how can you differentiate indica from sativa? i know indica's taller and sativa's bushier, but is that it?
Well your info is a little off; indica's are usually shorter plants with broader leaves , while sativas are usually taller plants with thinner leaves. Those are just the basic's to distingish common characteristics which should at least help you a little.Quote:

that's what i meant, i just typed it bass ackwards. thanks though, for overcoming my: "DUH"
haven't updated in a while, and i think it's about time i did. little over six weeks old. not sure about the smaller one...o well. anyways, as you can see there's been significant growth since my last post. also, as you can see in the 2nd and 3rd picks, there's some kind of damage to my lower leaves. i'm almost positive it's not bugs, as i haven't seen any and i have sprayed the plants down with insecticide. i'im guessing it's nute starvation since i was still using 1/4 strength fert. i'm gonna mix up a new batch tomorrow, if i'm right about this anyone got any input as to how much fert i should use? (i'm lookin your way rootdoctor, since we're using the same fert.) the last pic is my smaller, later plant, who jsut got it's second set of leaves.
GeddaLiddleHI how often are you feeding them ? And do you water with plain water also ever? Even at 1/4 streghth if your feeding them with that at every watering it can cause nute burn, which is what it looks like to me. Im not positive though you might want to post a couple pics in the plant problems section and get other peoples advice.
Or it could be some kinda nute lockout what is your ph?
turns out it's probly nute burn. i was using regular water too (which was in a similar container as the fert water), but i just went into my grow room and realized i've used the wrong can the last couple times i watered. oops! shite. i just flushed it with regular water and hopefully that will help. i googled nutrient burn and that's what was recommended, so, yeah, hopefully...
been pretty busy as of late, hence the lack of updates. but here's what my big boy (well, girl hopefully) looks like. you'll notice some damage to a couple of the leafs on the bottom; that's from leaving a lamp touching those leaves, they got burned. i am seeing some little tear-drop things at branching sections, too early to tell male or female, but they're not in pairs, so hopefully...
also, i got an idea from a part in the movie How High, where he mixes ashes (from his dead friend's body) into his fert, or something. Considering the merits of "slash and burn" farming; ash from burnt trees enrichening soil, would mixing ash from smoked cannabis (yeah, i wasn't planning on using ash form a dead body) into my soil have any benefits for my plants?
edit: yeah, my little plant suffered some damage from being in the same box as the big one. it wasn't getting enough light (even from it's own lamp, which is what burned the big one's leaves) and became very stretched. i did some pruning and relocated it to its own little spot and it's recovering nicely.
alright, so i know i'm supposed to be looking for alternating nodes, and i think my plant's just beginning to do that. i've posted some pics to scrutinize, these are the top couple branches.
i posted this separate so i could fit in all the pics i wanted. i believe these are very early preflowers (circled in blue) that will eventually become male or female.
