Three weeks now, and now there's some flowers showing in several spots. I suppose the example I made of their brother has left an impression on the rest. The rest of my plants appear to be turned females. I'm very excited, having out done my goal of two plants to harvest. Hopefully, I can manage to see these girls to harvest.

I've managed to tied down some of the girls. One didn't get into the whole bondage thing very much. She got all bent over the idea. Yep, I creased the main stem on my tallest plant. So, I've learned that these things should be taken slowly, and bending should be done gradually.

Currently, I'm on the GH 3 part Flora (plus Kool Bloom), using the 'Blooming and Ripening' mixture recipe. It appears that the plants are taking up the nutrients pretty quick. After the last reservoir change, ppm was around 1350. Now it's around 1050. I'm not sure about adding nutrients mid-reservoir change, but should I just add the recipe to a gallon jug and add that along with my daily water adds?

My schedule right now is 12/12. The light period runs from 6PM to 6AM. I generally check on them between 6PM and 8PM. During my check up, I'll add water (about 3/4 gallon now), check the ppm and pH, and try to tie them apart. I keep 3 - 1 gallon jugs on standby for filling. Tonight, I think I will mix one of them with the nutrient mixture and add that in with the next water add.

Attached are updated photos. Similar fashion as the last post - one overall, and three close-ups, starting with the one in the far right of the overall photo, and working clockwise in the photo (I must be dyslexic - I've mentioned the opposite direction last couple times, I think).
joe-grow Reviewed by joe-grow on . joe-grow's first grow Long time reader, first time poster. Long time smoker, first time grower. So, I've finally decided to take the plunge into growing. I spent the last month just reading up on the postings here, as well as some magazines I picked up at a local hydro store. This board was the most helpful, and I hope to repay that help with a grow report which I hope helps at least one other person out. During this time, I'm sure I will ask for assistance from some of you out there, and I hope that I am Rating: 5
