Thanks for the kind words and tips ladies and gents

[biggreenthings]

OOOooo nice, wheres the link to that?

im not sure how to put the link on here. =[

ive got 2 now. that NEED pictures bad.

 

[akirahz]

Well i can see pre flowers today, just small little dots really is all they are, some are pointier then others though, some look like little lumps, and some look like little pointy lumps.. anyway i cant tell the sex yet, maybe in a few more days or longer? The sex organs certainly are smaller then a plant thats been vegged for 4 weeks then flowered, they are difficult to see, but i got a magnifying glass.. typically after a flower has formed, how long till a white hair springs out of it if its female?

They are 26 days old today, 19th day of flowering

Dang! i might not have enough cash this payday to buy a 70 watt hps i wanted, locally or via the net.. but im going to try selling my underwater camera to my uncle (he collects cameras) for a low price of $25 so i can order the parts up! .. it all depends on if he buys it tonight or not, ill prob head over to his house after he gets home and present it too em. If it sells, i get the light.. if not.. i don't for another 2 weeks. Wish me luck fellas, i really want that friggin light asap!

It seems to be different when a plant is in 12/12 before it's ready to flower. I would say that they should poke some hairs in a day or two. But, depending on that plant... it might just be another set of branches lol. I don't know... I've only done that with one plant and I didn't see sex until it was about 6 inches tall... and it was a bushy one too.

But the grow looks cool. Can't wait to see them get into action!

 

[akirahz]

thanks laylow, im hoping to see some hairs in a few days -- id love that haha, but id like to get my hps light even more.. i didnt get over to my uncles house tonight, gota work go to work.. .. i hate working.

 

[akirahz]

Guess who just picked up a 70 watt HPS from menards for 37.99!! ME!! and i already removed the photo cell

now i just gota mount it in my box, peice of effin cake, it should be done by tonight.. but i only got about 1 hr too mount it before its lights out for 12hrs

 

[akirahz]

Well shes mounted boys, what ya think? 10,600 lumens : ) just about purrfect for 2.3 square feet

27 days old, 20th day of flower btw

 

[Dr.Dro]

There looking good AK
Just wondering how tall are the plants, And how tall is the box?
Dro:cool2:

Dro:cool2:

the box is 17 inches tall, the plants are about 4 and a ½ inches, the stretched runt is almost 5

Man i just hope i get some females now and that the temp doesnt spiral out of control, i took out my middle 42 watter cause it no longer fits in the middle, but i could just move it too one of the outside sockets but i want to make sure the temps are going to be alright, i was previously running 120 watts, 7,750 lumens, now i've got 128 watts, and 10k+ lumens so im pretty sure the heat wont climb too much, but if it does ill just gutt it and mount the socket, keep the ignitor,capacitor and ballast on the outside of the tub, gonna have too increase the wire length though O_O

 

[THE BROTHER'S GRUNT]

Everything is looking great akirahz. :aok:

 

[akirahz]

Everything is looking great akirahz. :aok:

Thanks TBG do you think if i get some females that ill get nice buds with my lighting now or at least better then what i would of had?

I decided that in about an hour or so im going to take the tub out of the closet again and do some more work on it, maybe vaccume out all the spilt soil i got in there, then i'm going to gutt the fixture and take it out, its kinda pissin me off, its kinda large, taking up alot of space, plus its weight is starting to bend the tub wall inwards so it must be done, plus ill gain more height this way, more space and more visibility, i dont know if ill put the gutts on the outside or keep them inside near the exhaust fan, i need some thicker wire in order to put it outside, plus i need some kinda little metal container ot keep em in. hmm what to do.. But i'm going to mount the H.I.D. socket to the mount that was for the whole light itself, thisll work good, i think ill velcrow it nice and snugg, then use small long strips of duct tape wrapped around just the socket part itself to help hold it down, and if i ever need to move it, i just take the tape off, and peel it off the velcrow.. i dont know yet, might go a different mounting route, id hate to have it fall and shatter, i want a nice secure mount.

 

[akirahz]

Well i remounted the hps, i stuck the ballast n what not inside of a little sponge bob lunch box hahah!! used a few roll arounds of duct tape on the socket that got taped to the orig mount for the light (only flipped)

Much better now, more space too, a further distance from the tops of the plants as well, give em more room to go up : ) :hubba:

28 days old, 21 days flower, i think i got 1 confirmed female, its pre flowers have split open into two, with one tiny white hair in the middle of it, its real small though to take a pic right now, maybe in a few days itll increase in size and ill get a 100% confirmation

 

[akirahz]

i just noticed this in my middle pic.. not sure though, what do u guys think?

 

[Dr.Dro]

lmao it's really hard to see anything...Just wait a few days man they'll start to show!
But anyway "shes" looking very nice man...Your doing a good job on your grow, Keep it up:aok:
Dro:cool2:
