[stone_sensation]

Yeah, looking awesome, I'm growing some afghanis myself. Not looking so good though need more light hehe!

[Shovelhandle]

So far, I'm only lighting with 344 watts of flourescent lighting. I don't know how well it will see me through flowering.

Nice looking plants, Shov. Looks like a friggin' dungeon down there, though. They might feel that they are being punished. LOL

What does this mean? Are you asking if his CFLs are all 3000K spectrum? I'm not sure I comprehend this post. Am I the only one? :what:

I am using no CFLs at all on these plants, only 4' T-8 (4) and T-5 tubes (4).
For flowering I'm using the 3000K lamps...for veg I used 5000K lamps.

At week eleven (started 12-12 a couple of weeks ago)

so, the sex ratio ended up as...

Bagseed (broad leaf indica) (2) fem, (1) male

Afghani X Bog Medley (5 fems, (3) male

So, I have six fems under the lights and the two "lovers" in a honeymoon suite.

So how's that?

Heya Shov, I've got some good news for you...

That Af X BOG... the one I'm running right now, from the same seed crop, at approximately one week left to harvest, she is turning a deep rich maroon color. Temps are not dropping below 68 either. This is under pretty standard growing conditions. The bud leaves have rich purple undersides and the buds themselves are starting to show a nice tint too. I absolutely for SURE plan to reveg this plant as a mother, as I'm extremely happy with this pheno in terms of bud density, vigor, smell, cola size, plant structure, and now COLOR too!
She's a great candidate for playing with temperature or that purple stuff.
Stopping by the post office tomorrow AM w/goodies.

Here's a pair of those plants that I'm going to polinate for seed stock.

These have maybe six weeks to go. Temps have been pretty cool this Spring, usually around 60-62°. The plants are doing pretty well though.


Thanks, shtinky

I polinated each day for 4-5 days, I'd knock the male flower open into a (Stonedware) shot glass and use an artist brush to put the pollen from the glass to the female pistals. After a few hours from the last blast I washed and dried the plant good and dry overnight befor joining the hen house. The male stooge gets his neck wrung and buried in the shtt pit. <G>
