So here is the 'case' this picture was taken on day 1. Its pretty basic with no ventilation!
(EDIT: Case has been improved waiting on pictures) it now has 5x Pc Fans 12v 1 Intake 1 Out Take 1 for room and plant air circulation & 2 for keeping the cfl nice and cool (to pro-long the life)
It started life as a 6ft double wardrobe from someones front yard.
Oh yes the shade is top of the range scrap wood Coated with a white hard board interior (A little intuition can go along way)

Them Both

Day 14 - Day 19
We cant seem to find the pictures as of yet but if they appear they will be uploaded
So Between these dates we improved the ventilation as-well as keeping a close eye on them

Day 20

Well For some reason the picture goblin is back and stole the picture of S#2 if he on the picture returns we'll be sure to have harsh words.
But on the bright side this is what TLC can do :

Well this is as of yesterday Seed#1 in the black pot Seed #2 in the red pot


S#1

S#2
We have started to LST and have trimmed a leaf or two to allow light down to the lower nodes, (Pictures (Coming when the camera is back)

We have super macro photos that we will be added as soon as the camera is back.

So thats it for now folks all advice and comments are taken on board and are much appreciated, we still have no signs of sex but we are pretty sure there females, (crosses fingers).

We would like to ask a couple of questions:
1. Are they Indica's or Sativa's
2. When to Flower?
3. Overall health and what can we improve on?

Please feel free to C&C and Follow us!
Thanks for Viewing Our Grow Journal

[align=center]Day 30
Ok so as we stated before we have started to LST S#1 & S#2, and the results in a 12-24hr period is quite surprising, Well see for yourself.
S#1

S#2

And here is the sticky tape technique


Simply Take a shade leaf pull it (don't be scared the worse that can happen is a snapped leaf or leaf tip) We prefer this method due to us not seriously damaging the plant if something goes wrong!!
All you have to do is get that damned sticky tape and get sticky...or stuck! stick the shade leaf down with a good pull until you can feel the stress on the stem (main stem) and then STICK stick like you've never stuck before. and WALA!

We hope this has shed some light on this method, if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to comment, we are here to learn and progress our knowledge with fellow growers to help us all become better educated and to become better growers

Thanks Again

They really aren't working. The reason why they're working for you guys could be because you have permission to see them.
