Note: Our large plants are about 2 weeks behind these plants, so we will have these to smoke while we wait for the large ones to dry. Ping!

Ok, guys. This is what I'm gonna leave you with for DAY 90/DAY 18 of flowering.

The plants are doing ok. There are some speedbumps but nothing has died! :thumbsup: There is GOOD NEWS, though. We have positively confirmed our last plant's sex.

Guess f*cking what? FEMALE.

This means that we got a total of 10 females out of 13 seeds. That's a high frickin' ratio if I've ever seen. And we were worried about not getting enough girls! Holy Moly! I was not expecting that. Well, we'll hafta make do. So sad...not!

Pic#1: One of the plants got burnt when touching the CFL. It is damaged, but looks to be growing ok. It might even be "FIMing" itself!

Pic#2: Our three 2nd-run test-clones that were all just recently confirmed as FEMALES! WOOT, and all that jazz.

Pic#3: Another plant affected by the CFL being too close. It wasnt damaged as bad as the other one, but still looked heat stressed. Its growing normally again now.

Pic#4 & #5: Two kickass pictures of some nice, crystally nugs. (I cant believe I'm seeing crystals/trichomes already! Wooohoooo!


Well, everyone, ENJOY! Will be back in a couple of days to post. That WILL be DAY 93 for the mothers. It WILL be Day 21 for the Rubbermaid box. And it will be DAY 7 of the main flowering room's flowering cycle! We still have to add some magnesium to a couple of the plants in the main room, top our #11a mother, and work on the clones. OH and we are installing another new fan on DAY 93. STAY TUNED!

Questions, comments, and feedback are always welcome! :thumbsup:

Be cool...like ice.

Well, I skipped the cheap Inside Sun 250w HPS, and instead got a couple of these:

http://www.1000bulbs.com/product.php?product=31681

210 watts of CFL, in two bulbs, for $50 (with shipping). Not quite the perfect spectrum for flowering, but should still be okay. Gonna throw 'em on that Durban Poison x Skunk #1 and whatever happens happens. I might also have too many Blue Mystic females. I planted 5, and it looks possible that all 5 are female, and my flower box is only going to fit 2 or 3 of them.

So, I read a post by a guy who rotated plants under lights. Like, 2 females, but keep 1 of them in darkness for 12 hours while the other is under the lights. Then swap their positions, move the one under the light to a dark closet, and move the one in the dark closet under the lights. It'll be sort of a pain to move them twice a day during flowering, but I need exercise anyway. Heh. Basically, instead of turning the lights off for 12 hours a day, I'll just move the plants, and flower TWO sets of plants with one set of lights. That way I won't have to kill off any females. Sort of like a poor man's improvised munchie-powered light-mover!

Those flouros definitely look nice. Might try them out sometime. Cant do the physical moving of the plants like you plan to due to inability to be there every 12 hours. Right now, we should be ok with what we have. Hope the mothers in the veg room can be kept under control while we wait for the flowering to finish. Then we'll have to re-evaluate the situation. Hopefully we'll get to the point where we have several Bonsai mothers of different strains and we can have some variety. We'll be hypothetically doing BG and NL next and we dont even really have room for our next batch of bagseed. Hmmm.

Did I mention that we got 10 out of 13 FEMALES! Wish for rain and you get a monsoon! Whew.

lol ... beautiful plants mang...those pistils are very crazy looking.. do they have like a pink tint.. cuz i looks that way from my end.. it might just be the hps.. watever... great job ..

[TheGreenFog]

Hmmm. Dunno. They look white to me...but then again, I'm what they call "colorblind" so it's sometimes hard for me to see tints. Are they pink? COOL! :thumbsup: I was excited about the trichomes, but now the pink! lol

I used a small microscope to look at the trichomes. They look sweet as hell. Excited to see them get bigger and bigger!

Oh and they are not under HPS, but they are outside of the room that has the HPS, so it might be the light from there.
