Yes, please update us Mr. Bong

An update you want :P an update you'll get.

goin on about 10 days now from popping.

Curiously, i've noticed between the two largest plants that one has much more rounded leaves.. where the other one has much sharper more mj like leaves. i suppose it could be just the early age of the plant and how the first few leaves have developed. we'll see..

great secondary growth on the big girl. the others are not to far behind.. thankfully they have a good role model

Enjoy guys.. i'll keep ya updated

Hey
How much longer are you leaving them to Veg for

[BobBong]

well i was on 18/6 to begin. gradually i will reduce the amount of light they'll get by 30 minutes every few days until i'm down to 12/12 . i'm now actually on 17/7. in a week i expect to be down to 16/8, then 15/9..so on... I won't veg for more than 4 weeks. so i expect to see sex within the next 2-3 weeks. I'm doing this because i plan to flower for a long time, approx. 10 weeks. give or take. and obviously.. if everything goes as planned.

Hopefully i get more girls than boys. :\ if not, well.. poo

[BobBong]

going on 22 days

Hey Bob (and others),

What about that incremental light cycle? I liked that idea... anybody else has tried it?

So, you start 18/6 for 4 weeks of vegetative (aprox)... then gradually, everyday, change the cycle by 30 minutes... So, the entire thing from 18/6 to 12/12 should take twelve (12) days if I'm not so stoned as to fuck up that simple math... right?

Don't wanna hijack your thread... just that question... I like that cycle transition phase.

Ok, regarding your grow: keep us update. They look very good! Another very interesting grow thread.... ohhh.... the day people come read/write to my grow thread... ohhhh.... LOL!!!

Thanks man! i appreciate the input and comments as always!

you got it pretty much nailed as to my intention with the light cycle. I do though, think the change to 12/12 will be over the course of 2-3 weeks rather than 12 or 13 days. Giving the plants a few days between each 1/2 hour change. With this i pretty much expect the plants to begin flowering on thier own. i imagine i'll see sexes when i'm at about 14 or 13 hours of light daily.

I don't know of many people that have done this.. and infact.. i don't recall anyone doing it here on cannabis.com, i'm probably wrong though. I'll keep ya posted! thanks for the upbuilding comments, again!
