Noob on the Cheap

Lunch time check in. Things going well. A few notes.

Last night I started training three of the plants.

I also gave them 6 hours of dark time, first time they have had any darkness since germination.

I believe you can now discern the plants come from different strains. The growth pattern is strikingly similar for some and wildly different for others.

I will get pictures posted after work and hope some of you can help determine indica/sativa.

Also gave them another 2 ounces of water each. Today was the first time water seeped through my drainage holes.

So I probably will not water tomorrow, but thoughts on this are solicited. Thanks!

I noticed youve posted on my grow so I will return the favor. I only had 24/0 for the first few days and then I switched to 18/6.. In my opinion the plants use the energy collected during the light hours to power growth at night.. i notice every day that my plants are a little bigger after they come out of the dark cycle. I also only give my seedlings 3 pepsi-bottle caps full of water and then increase by one cap-full each week.. and in my opinion i think i could water a little less..

Alright, more pics. First three plants have had LST. I loosened it up a little but they appear to me to be fine.

Any idea if indica or sativa?

Looking good man - plants seem to be perkin up a bit, wouldnt you say???

[Cede2Weed]

Yeah, man, they are growing like weeds. What's up with that?

Placed another in bondage trying to keep the canopy even. It hurts my heart to do it. They are so pretty, thriving and outshining their sisters, then you tie them down and the just kind of blend in our even do not look as good at first.

On a positive note, the first three I tied down have exploded at the tip. Kind of looks like one of those handheld dusters or a trumpet. Incredible expansion at the tip.

I will get pics posted tonight.
