Iron Lotus BAGSEED-CFL's, 2nd Round.......

[Iron Lotus]

They are lovin the light. There is a 3rd plant, But I almost drowned it by accident so its lookin a little "heavy". Was too ugly for me to be taking pics of and ruining the moment



Theyve been on 24/0 light schedule. But Since this space has the timer, I can set them to whatever. Would 18/6 be a good number. 19/5, 20/4. Figured a little darkness somewhere in there would be good for them.

Whats the best to use? Im leaning toward 18/6 or 19/5 Light Hours.
Will start them on it tomorrow night. Thanks for the INPUT!!

Well they are maybe a couple weeks, Give or take a few days.

They were on 11/13 hours for about 3 days while I was making them
that mini fixture I posted earlier so the big one could have its space and
I could get them back to 24/0 hours....
But since it was a male, I moved them back into the bigger spot
so they could get more light. SO they were 24/0 until having to
do maybe 3 days of 12/12, And now theyve been back on 24/0
for the past day or 2 and doing well.

I thought I had read somewhere that a few hours of darkness would
help the plant recover during the cycle. I can set it to anything like
2 hours here, 2 hours there, 2 hours here..... I wonder if anyone has
tried different combos liek that with good results

tahnks :aok:

Im looking for differences in lighting schedules, trying to find peoples results for different hours etc.. etc.

Searching around this site, and a little google action:hubba:


Lets hope they keep doing well. I may have killed the 3rd one.:confused2: :bongin:

Iron Lotus: Just gonna give ya my 2cents. My thoughts are from my own experiments and from what I have read, stressing the plants in anyway increases the chance of males. Light variations, bending, pruning, starving then flooding or whatever seems to increase the odds of them becoming males/hermies. But once they are sexed slap the girls around a little, mine love it. Anyways thats my 2 cents take it for what its worth. I love your setup and have already pulled up a chair.

 

[Wiseguy_Chef]

well from what i have been reading about stress testing your plants for hermies if, they don't turn hermie on u after that, u got some good female plants buddy.

 

[Iron Lotus]

...Well sadly I took the male and shot it. Its laying here growing sideways witha bag over the rootball.

MY fav most smelly and asymetrically perfect plant I put in its place, In the same dirt, In the big green pot, Hoping it will bring good grow luck since the male was growing like a MoFo before it all had to end....

Heres some pics, Still gotta transplant the other one, Probably going
to do a slightly smaller pot than the big green one for the other baby.
The 3rd baby, Seems to be reallly weak, And isnt a survivor. And smells
of balls..:huh: .. So I think its a male. I will probably pull it tomorrow.

Enjoy some of the close ups:
I especially like pic number 8 haha

 

[tesla]

My fav is pic one, I am keeping a eye for that baby.
Wiseguy_Chef: yeah I am almost afraid to stress them up at this point if one went hermie on me I would be well... devastated I am on the constant lookout. I would love just to tie them up bend them over backwards and really show em who's boss. But this go around I am treatin like the ladys that they are.But her kids they better WATCH OUT!!!

 

[Thorn]

lovely healthy looking plants! Here's us all rooting for females!!!

 

[Wiseguy_Chef]

lol dang bro, well don't go to chiled abuse on them kids. i will have to arest u for abuse, an your plants can come live nice an happy over at my house

 

[tesla]

Wiseguy_Chef I have read in quite a few places where ppl break the stem tape it back just to increase the potency of the erb. The Mexicans stick a wood stake through the stem. AND NO MY KIDS CAN NOT PLAY AT YOUR HOUSE!!!!!!

 

[smokingjoe]

OKay here are some, I just cropped out the area instead of resizing the pic so it stayed big.......... Now you should be able to see it good

Looks like a good candidate for breeding

 

[DomsChron]

Lookin' nice buddy! Their likin it a lot lol!

How are you likin the smell?

 

[THCPezDispenser]

Hey man, they all look great, I'm interested to see how they finish with the aluminum foil, I've heard a lot of people "talking" about how poor it is, it will be good to see the results of a grow with it.

I thought about taking some of the leaves off of the plant and using them as like natural ferts? Anybody think thats a good Idea?

No, you shouldn't put uncomposted plant material in the soil. It may cause disease/bug infestations. It needs to be composted down first.

 

[MARY-JANE]

I veg on 18/6 and flower on 12/12 and always get good results.

 

[Iron Lotus]

Lookin' nice buddy! Their likin it a lot lol!

How are you likin the smell?

Well the left one with 2 main stalks kinda smells like the last male I had
Not much smell really....

The one on the right.... Smells like a skunk is living in the closet.
You can tell they are 2 different plants, Texture, color, and the little
crystals are easily visible to the eye on the right one.

Also, The right plants stems are more of a reddish color, while the left plant is more a normal green.

The right one looks way more promising at this point

 

[Iron Lotus]

Well I transplanted the other baby into a 12" which is the same as the other, Just different stores. The one on the right was what that big male was in, Just picked up another pot from home depot before we left for the weekend because the double whammy was lookin like it was deprived of root growing room, It was packed in that little 5" pot so I had to change it before I left them alone for a couple days! still on 24/0 schedule.

They are around 12 or so inches tall....... How much longer
would you run them before you switched them to flower?

 

[smokingjoe]

Looks to suffering a little over ferting but otherwise a very nice plant especially bag seed.
