nalani Reviewed by nalani on 11-10-2008. Little Carmalicious and Random Plants My bf ordered 10 carmalicious seeds from AMS.com and got 20 random seeds extra. Order arrived as planned ;) Now he has one random and 4 carma growing, and i got to pick 3 random seeds to grow myself (i first put the ones that i thought looked the best in one group and then picked 3 very different looking seeds from that) :D They are all growing at a similar phase, and we repotted as many as space allowed, into a mixture of coco and normal soil. We just have them in the closet now, but we are Rating: 5

Long time since i updated this page but here it goes.
Now we've got 2 female carmalicious and 1 random plant that isnt showing any sex (i think its just retarded or something, gonna throw it out).
They are currently on their 3rd week of flowering but havent started producing any buds so to speak (lots of those long hairs at bud nodes though), is that something to worry about? I also switched to a high P-K nutrition for the 3rd week. They are about 40 - 50 Cm tall
I have switched to a 600 W HPS and i was wondering you could tell me the minimum length away from the plants?
Pictures coming soon i hope, getting the camera back soon

can noone shed some light on this? :P

im actually a noob so please be sure to double check me on this.
but with that said.

I believe a 600W HPS on 3 plants(possibly 2) should be 8"-12" from the top of the plants. Im not sure if you have one but i hear light movers, when done right and safely, are very helpful and beneficial. Something to look into.

Also i see in the op that you have 1 200W "red" envirolite and 1 200W "blue" envirolite, once again excuse me i too am a newb, are these cfl? or a light that may be you could also run vertically to help with getting the lower, harder to reach, buds/branches. Disregard this if it is of no use to you, but just a thought.

More light means better buds right?

I demand an update though!!

[konvikt419]

if you just switched to the sodium bulb that should help fill out the buds and as far as the distance between the light depends on your setup but i keep mine at about 15 inches away and they seem fine:jointsmile:

I lend my blue CFL bulb to a friend but atm i am running the HPS and a 250 W envirolite CFL to get to the lower branches. Pics comming this weekend, any1 out there got some juice carmalicious bud porn for me?
PS thanks for the update on the HPS, will lower it :P

looks good.

alright, now we are talking! They are showing some real action now, stretching from 38CM to 60CM in just 11 days. They are starting to form the actual buds and lots of them! No crystals yet but i hope that will change soon. Pics of the pretty babies.
PS, threw the random plant out, was male
