Colorado MMJ patient first time grow spring'13

[Dabs4all]

So when I killed the lil MS it grew so weird/unique I thought I'd share some pix...

It almost looks like the plant supercropped and topped(or split in two main colas) itself.

Well now I really want some feminized seeds!!!!!! For now though I'll have to make do. I've still got the two Super Skunk's vegging under CFL's and since I've got a sizable collection of really good Great White Shark bagseeds(from some killer bud) I put a few in water today to soak before they get planted tomorrow(probably under a new grow log later). I also picked up some Grandma's molasses(I couldn't find Blackstripe or whatever it's called) to start with the next feeding/watering. I'm gonna start with 1TBS(15ml) to a gallon of water and continue with every feeding/watering until flushing time.

Here's a quick update.

I transplanted the 2 baby SS's into 3.5 gal pots today, they got a little neglected while I was on vacation. I had three Great White Shark seeds pop the surface. The clone was cut as an experiment from the SS male(it looks bad I know as I said I've been away, and it was only an experiment). My MS female in the tent is stretching like crazy(you were dead on Dutch) it looks like I'm gonna find out exactly how close I can let the plant get to the light. I was moving the light up around an inch a day(b/c she was growing that much a night) now it's closer to two, and it's 14'' from the glass on the bottom of the hood. I only have about 6 more inches I can raise my light, if I have to I can swap back to the smaller hood and hang it vertically in the back corner for more headroom. I still haven't watered/fed the MS since transplanting(it got a heavy dose of water that day) the bucket is still bottom heavy so I'm waiting on the roots to get there and use it up before I feed.

Here's some pix.

are you sure that plant you culled was a male?

I can't be 100% since I'm new to this, but it looked nothing like the female MS I already had and a lot like the male SS I had already culled. Better safe than sorry is my motto for now until I get this down a little better. I've already learned a lot from this grow (my soil was too hot for the babies, light was too far from plant especially during the first 3 weeks of bud etc...) to carry over to my next grows.

The PH meter I purchased got sent back. After two point calibration 4 and 7, I tested some fresh 7 solution and got a reading of 8.1. Recalibrated and the second test on a fresh sample of 7 gave me a reading of 7.8. If it's a yellow cheap meter don't waste your time or money!!!

The Jack's Classic Bloom Booster and 420 scope I ordered arrived. The Jack's is blue like MG. WTF???

I fed the MS yesterday for the first time since transplant (like 23 days I think I used too much water on transplant day) but the soil at the bottom of the bucket was still moist until then. I didn't use any Grow Big because of the N in the Jack's. I used Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Jack's, and molasses all full strength. I added 2 1800 lumen 2700k cfl's for some light to the bottom branches. I also moved the 2 SS (I stunted them with the MH light too early and they got a little rootbound in the cups) into the tent, one of which I think is a male. Also the light is now 7" from the plant and the stretch has lessened dramatically!!!!

Here's some nug pix from the last few days.

[Dabs4all]

So I've been watching the SS that I pegged as a male and the other day and I saw what I thought were female preflowers growing right beside the balls. I had to wait for the preflowers to get a little bigger before getting pix. Everywhere there is a ball there is now a female preflower coming out next to it. Here's the only one that came out worth a damn.

I think my other SS is going to be a girl, she's starting to show.
