DAY 1

Day 21 Flower

1st picture is of plant B Skunk/Haze at 55 inches tall from top of dirt.
4th picture is just part of the short stocky plant A Skunk at 33 inches tall.

Forgot to mention I dropped four unknown seeds in to water on day one to germinate. All four seeds cracked and showed tails on day 2. I planted the four seeds in 16oz cups and coverd them with plastic for a greenhouse-affect. Clones are not showing any different signs.

[jon420]

All 4 seeds sprouted on night 3. I removed the plastic from the tops.

[jon420]

Clones seem to have taken well to the transplant and are showing new growth. The 4 seedlings are doing great.

[jon420]

Sorry about the gap there but nothing special went on and growth was slowed due to PH problems and too many nutes.

You will see in the last picture that I fimmed one of the seedlings.

[jon420]

Transplanted clones and seedlings to 3 gallon buckets and I puntured many holes in the bottoms for air.

[jon420]

Tossed a seedling today due to stunted growth. I also wanted to mention that I put 2 plants in one bucket to document the difference in growth. I wanted to show how another plant will conquere another.

1st pic is the 2 together
2nd pic is the Fimmer
3rd is side shot of clones doing well

[jon420]

Up until today I was running the light cycle at 22/2. It is now at 18/6.

[jon420]

Fimmed again, the same plant as last time. Growth between the 2 in the same pot seems to be about the same at this point. Been having problems with nute-burn and found that the plants do not like added nutes in veg. stage with this soil. The soil PH is also very high and I am flushing with PH adjusted water only. Plan to water with PH adjusted water through the rest of the veg.

I had to tie up plant B Skunk/Haze because it was growing out of control.
