12x12" micro grow.

[melodious fellow]

Also, the more I look at the plants I am certainly thinking that they are of different phenos. Anyone agree?

Nope, shorely do not.

Just based on the actual shape of the leaves, they all seem to be pretty indica dominent and of the same phenotype as well. I could be wrong though, just MHO.

The tallest one is likely male, thus the faster growing and very slightly different shape, almost a sativa like look.

The "runt" as you say will likely be female and will really get bushy.

Your grow looks great bro. So happy you stuck with them! :hippy:

Thanks mel, you the man.

I have enjoyed just simply growing and looking after these little plants, but hopefully one day they will give me a couple of joints as a treat.

Um, dude, what are you using as a medium? Mud?:wtf:
Really though, where's the dirt from/what's in it?

Noble idea for this microgrow, however! You could minimize stretching by using daylight bulbs instead. If not, the stretch would be beneficial to LST. Remember, any training at all (LST, ScROG, FIM/top/) will increase total growth time. If you're going 12/12 from start I'd steer clear from FIMing, and keep LST to a minimum. Should stay pretty short though if you are 12/12 from seed...

Thank you for your subtle inquiries about my grow medium.
It is nothing flashy/all bells whistles with perlite, it is simply the first compost that I found in the garage that I thought would be adequate. It probably out of a grow bag, other than that I have no idea.

Regarding the lights; I am not spending any money on lamps as that would defeat the object, plus they see to be growing OK under the ones they are currently under. They have gone though the normal stages of growth and I believe the next stage is the dankness, :thumbsup: believe me you will know about it if and when that day comes.

[SimonMakus]

lol bells and whistles with perlite? First time I've heard that one

I mentioned it because your slow growth could be caused by overwatering. It just seems wet in quite a few photos, but oddly your leaves show no signs!

I totally understand doing this on the cheap, man. I wasn't saying to throw out all your lights and buy new shit, just giving you something to think about if you're trying to keep them short. Also, regarding the soil, quality is pretty important in order to avoid problems down the road. You were ready to throw in the towel - we don't want that to happen. Keep at it, and keep reading. :smokin:

[melodious fellow]

No need to fix it if it is not broken, but on your next grow you might could start with some high quality soil like Fox Farm Ocean Forest... I am a recent convert and quite happy with the results!

peace Finz!

"No need to fix it if it is not broken"

Yes, there is; i.e. a preemptive strike. I'm trying to help with future problems he could run into. I also noticed he's got the start of some fert burn. If you use a high-quality soil there's really no need to feed until the switch. I mean come on, the guy referenced soil with perlite in it as "bells and whistles." That kind of attitude is indicative, coupled with the willingness to quit after small problems, that more worries are to follow.

On a lighter note, the one picture from the 27th looks like a Cingular commercial. Maybe get in touch with the advertising dept?

You seem to thrive by putting a negative spin on things, it's not helpful at all. Go away.
