2nd grow

[cwesto]

2 weeks, woohoo, well i guess i still have about 10 more to go lol. OK here are some new pics of my LST'd plants, check em out lemme kno if i am doing anything wrong, or if it could be done better.

Also i added a top layer of hydroton over top of my soil, the chron shop guy was telling me this will help the soil to stay in better condition and not dry out as quickly b/c of no direct light hitting it. Also said it would promote roots to grow into the top couple inches of soil, that would normaly be dried out. I havent noticed any improvements as far a vigor goes, but i have noticed a strange smell coming from my cab, i think it is just the hydroton that got wet when i watered and now the light is baking the nutes off of the hydroton balls. It sure has a funk smell to it. We'll see how it goes

Heres the pics i dont have any descriptions of them cause i was high and forgot what plants the pics are of. Also I have spotted some male flowers on a couple plants. IS this normal after only 2 weeks veg??? And should i pull them out now??

They r currently OUT of the closet and under some CFL's in my room. Even if these are pre-flowers dont male pre-flowers usually mean a male plant. And also could this early show of sex be caused by a light leak?

the preflowers arent always male, so dont rip/kill/mutilate anything yet in a couple of days (1-3) look at the 1st and 2nd node from the top and they should show if its balls or hairs

Whiskey, the tops of the two plants both have small honeycomb shaped structures of balls on the top. I didnt kno if preflowers ever apeared on the tops of plants, as i have only grown once. But why are they flowering when still in a 18/6, let alone only 2 1/2 weeks thru 18/6???

Also I am guessing that the small clusters of balls all over the plant, including the tops means males, correct?? Can they be removed from the cab now??

The LST is lookin really good, I checke don em today and they are starting to get some side shoots developing :thumbsup:. I'll probably leave the tops tied down for about another 3 or 4 days and then release the tops to resume growth. I will for sure be posting pics tomorow when the lights come on.

I know it doesnt have much to do with the grow, but here are soem pics of good time, pets, and other shit i felt like posting.

Pic 1- I found a loop hole on a sports betting website, were we literaly could not lose, me and my friends had over $10,000 in our account from the bowl games last college football season. Until the website took it all back because they said they messed up... YEA U COULD SAY THEY MESSED UP ALRIGHT LOL.

Nice work man:thumbsup:

Ps.: Don't let that vicious land weasel eat your plants!!!

Ps2.: I think you should get your lamp a lil closer to the plants...

[cwesto]

Zeb, dont worry about the plants the weasel only eats weasel food and sun chips, hes a strange animal. He doesnt really like people food, u can put him on the dinner table, I DONT, but i have befor and he will smel people food then just run away.

Also my lamp is like 12" above my plants, Y do u think it should be closer???

[zebulon]

Sorry i don't know how much 12" is....in Europe we use the metric system....
You should use the hand test... put your hand under the lamp ,and the distance where it wont burn your hand ,(plus a few ( " ) ), the plants are safe...
The closer they are , the more light they get,the faster they will grow...

That weasel is btw. very cute...

[cwesto]

Sorry Zeb, i seen ur flag, i should have put 2 and 2 together.

OK FYI when u see tihs again, " means inches while ' means feet

so 12" is = to 1' 60" would be 5' and so on and so forth.

Got it? ' = feet and " = inches.
