[rattlingdags]

So sorry to read that - I've really enjoyed reading your log. I do hope you can salvage something from all your work and loving care. And don't beat yourself up over it!

so now comes my question, how long untilll i can tell if i have a few lovely ladies or have a boatload of males?

Check out my http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-log/...ite-widow.html for an interesting discussion and links back to some ideas of early sexing. Normally you cant tell for sure until the flowering stage, but it seems that there are a few clues you can start gathering, even as sprouts.

Good luck on your grow! Looking good so far! :thumbsup:

thanks forthe support everyone, and yes i do plan on starting again,asap. i already have some seeds in a hot glass under the sink waiting to crack, and i just made an order for some dutch passion PPP which shoulldbe here soon, but one thing im thinking about doing diferentlyis the box, i wanna set it up so its more incogneto, i want to actuallystack the rubbermaids and have away to adjust the light height from the plants. im thinking about sticking with CFL's i know when used right there great, and i just wanna getthis right. but yes theresstill hope, im eagrly waiting for my seeds to come in

...and the plants frosted up when the temp plumeted last night, frosted the seedlings all to hell. the lights were off during the night for there 4 hour off period so they just froze the whole time i had no lights or heat at all..

oh no! I'm so sorry for your loss VG. Live and Learn and try again is all I can offer. I bet on your next attempt you will put systems in place so that this can never happen again, and with that you will have a much more effective grow.

What I did for heat is pretty simple, maybe it will help you. I got a line voltage thermostat mounted on the wall near the plants and have it programmed for a daytime temp of 77 and night time of 70. This is plugged into a small ceramic space heater at floor level. My fan blows directly on that to evenly disperse the heat throughout the closet. I find that I have no more than a 2 degree fluctuation in the programmed temperature at any time day or night. Of course, this is going to need a complete re-think when summer comes, but for now... its all good.

I will soon have 2 areas here, the closet and a box... and I am sure that as I move forward I will be making some big errors. At least here on the forum we can all learn from each other and when something goes bad, you know that there are those of us out here who really do care about what you are going through and we really do feel your pain as well as your joys.

Merry Christmas VG and don't let it get you down. We are all pulling for you!

i have bad news guys, i didnt hook up the heating vent i have set up for my box when it gets cold at night i hook some flex pipe to the intake of my boxand the other end that i have tapped into my heating duct , and the plants frosted up when the temp plumeted last night, frosted the seedlings all to hell. the lights were off during the night for there 4 hour off period so they just froze the whole time i had no lights or heat at all. so fucking dissapointed. seriously so fucking livid at myself.......

AW VG, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Did you try to save them or just toss them? They are hardy plants when it comes to frost since in their own natural environment frost can and does happen. If you gave it a go and saved any please post what you did to save their green, leafy selves.

i did try to do an emergency replant but the poor things just never took off after that, they stayed all plopped over after i tried to transplant them. right now im off to home depot to get a few items for the new box i wana try out. ill psot some pics of it later

[VuhnillaGorilla]

[VuhnillaGorilla]

hey everyone, its been a few weeks since my last post sorry ive been busy thanks to the holidays, well heres an update

i had two plants that i had growing for about a week, i left for the holidays came home to find them pretty big. theyve really started to fan out and are about 4 inches tall. i also had some dutch passion power plant feminised seeds and i jsut put them in soil aobut 5 days ago and there started off healthy. im very excited, i have a total of four plants that are soilid growth and are on the fast track in vegg state. ill post a picture as soon as i rememebr where i put the camera


nowww comes my usual one question per post....


the 2 plants that are a few weeks old now have branched out 4 times from the main stem. im tryiong to figure out when i can begin to look for sex. becasue these are just bag seed and my Power plant are fem and i dont wanna take a risk of ruin my crop

[VuhnillaGorilla]

whats up guysssssss

long time no see. heres a few pics my plants are just about over a months old now.

and the smaller plants are 13 days old, there dutch passion power plant fem seeds, i planted three, two took off but now only one seems to be doing well, the other not so hot


heres a few pics and im sure the topic will ensure once questions are asked lol

VG:rastasmoke:

p.s. i know my plants are far apart in growth, and my two older plants are just bagseed, and when they go to flower and close to harvest my PP should be getting ready to finish veg and hit flower, heres my plan, my two older plants when the time comes im going to set up another box to use just for flowering with 2700k lights** and let my PP finish its time in my flower box and start some new clones annnnd so on and so on.

(im seriously leaning to using tubes buuut idk if i can make that work well and still have a box. and if anyone wants to help me with my plants for the set up hey im all ears, but ill get in more detail when the times comes)
