First Grow & Grow Cab Log

OK,I have A 60 height,15 deep,29in wide cab intake is a 80 cfm duct fan exhaust is 250 cfm ferts/nute i use fox farm b/g & have t/b for flowering cycle i have a 400w home-made cool tube thanks due to the FAQ's here.i haven't finish with it yet but,in the mean time i have two plants and praying they are female's at first i was using miracle grow and thing wasn't going to well after i applied but now seems to look better the beans are bag seeds and about five weeks old from sprout temps are at 82f high & 69,70 low when dark but the humidity is at a low 20% im hoping ill be OK cause read it should be at 40%.The cfl i figure ill use them to veg and when time to flower then ill use the hps i just got here is some pics i took of some what i have set up

here's an close up on how they look seems to be ok so far:thumbsup:

:what: seems like i have a male between one of the two,i must say i have to :glugglug: to this because i did get lucky with one being a female.i could be wrong what do you cultivater's think,one female male,right?

yep, one is definitely female and the other is probably male but I wouldn't make any rash choices yet. Let it go for a while. Youre in no danger of pollenation yet.

it looks like its been one:mad: but ill try to see,i have too

Very nice pics of the preflowers, man. 9/10 I'd say I'd agree with ya about your diagnosis. #1M, #2F. Right on. What strain is this? Maybe try flowering the male in a separate room and harvesting pollen to pollenate the bottom branch or so of the female and get some seeds if it's good stuff.

Be cool. :thumbsup:

TGF

holey balls!they grow rapidly u see the growth.had Ph battle for a couple of days,but now got hold of it 6.7-6.9.how they look,am i at good pace far as developed growth.one plant is definitely male so he!,be-gone

just would like if anyone can tell me what is wrong with this plant,it wasn't looking like this and i cant seem to put my finger on it.very confused,at first my Ph was low so i put lime stone in my soil and obviously it didn't work.as you can see the edge of the of some of the leaves are light green and some or i should say a couple of leave are developing brown rust looking spots

OK Ive been doing a little work to get things ready for flowering. set up the 400w alone with the homemade cool tube.so far the temps are at 83f,but it only been an hour.well here is some pics of the set up,wow a lot of work

nice man, wish i could grow my plants without worrying about height :(

well,the cab gets to the low 90's damn i will have problem.just a question should i clone now and if when

always take clones before you flower them

heat is always a critcal factor in close quarters. get it out of there as fast as you can...invest in a good carbon filter and you won't have the odor worry.

wait! I dont have veg room i was just going to get an Mh conversion bulb for the clone so how the hell im going to do this now,and i thought i had it plan out.well i guess i have to use my compacts fluorescents to clone.I want lumen's for the vegging period.How can i do this now

today will be the first day of flowering.i pick up some big bloom to go with my ff tiger bl will see how it goes had -to get a heater temp at night was under 55f so it was a must

8th week second day of flowering,i hope this plant dont stretch to much.wow the plant grew thicker fast since I put the hps in the cab,here's new pics

that looks nice and healthy
:thumbsup:

thanks otturbojoe its a constant battle

OK,its been a week now and no significant signs of flowering.how long does that to see some good results

it been nine days since i started 12/12 and no signs of buding,but the plant stretch and grew enormously wow she's big i hope she is done growing she is about 16in from the light already

just some more pics to look at,how she look

she will continue to grow until week 3 of flower but you have 16in to play with that is plenty of room my friend, i had my plant 8in from the bulb when my plant stopped stretching.....close call.

looks amazing great grow.

wow,its been two days and so far the plant grown 2 inches i hope this will end soon.if it get to tall can i tie it down during flowering

no love,no love:sadcrying

day 15 and finally see bud sets.she is about 2'1/2 feet from the dirt and about 9 to 10'' from the light.just wondering shouldn't i be further in flowering with a 400w hps light-meaning a great amount of bud or is 15 day to early to tell. here's some pics of the mini Christmas tree

a couple of more pics i wanted to add

its about 20 days flowering and I see ok signs of buding.still having heat probs and the top is about to touch the hps bulb;its about 3 to 4'' from it can tie the plant down

im not sure if this plant is on pace for an 400w hps light.i got a brand new bulb and see an big different i guess the bulb was faulty but anyway i think im having a deficiency maybe k im not sure though.its looks toxic so i flushed with 7 gallons of water some boiled some cold from the faucet but mixed though then i add maybe a close to half strength of fox farm big bloom,I'll see what happens,here some pic this grow thing isn't as easy as i read it to be and yes i spent way more money then i imagine but i know im not done yet either. i know one thing its fun

we'll can I get an answer to my questions or what

wow!

bud are starting to form.Its been 30 days of 12/12 and 15 days of budding.just want to know is that how you calculate flowering time or do u count it from the first time you go to 12/12:confused:
oh,here's some pics

Hiya Smoky, wow! That plant is really reaching for the stars! It's amazing to go back and look at the baby pictures.

You count flowering from the time it went under 12/12 lighting.

Looks sativa dominate...should be some nice smoke :thumbsup:

doco,thanks for ur response so it mostly sativa:thumbsup:

Looks like it to me...graceful, slender leaves mmmmmm...Such a beautiful plant. BTW, only use the flowering time as a guideline - check the trichomes to determine harvest time.

do u have a blacklight in there?

thanks doco,I read alot about that seen some polls,but when is it the time to harvest at,cloudy and ambered or cloudy and clear

Well to be frank, I don't have any experience there, lol. I didn't know about checking the trichomes till I came to cannabis.com! I used to just harvest when the hairs were mostly red/brown or if the rainy season started early but that was outdoors obviously.

What I have read is the clear/cloudy is more of a stimulating cerebral high and the cloudy/amber is more body stone couchlock. There's some good threads on here about it. I think it has to do with the relationships between the percentage of THC and the other cannibinoids content.

I just bought a 30x-60x mini handheld microscope at Radio Shack for $12
