No hermies yet, I haven't posted in a while but everything is going ok - with yellowing of some leaves.

I went away for 3 days, I watered before leaving, but when i got back home the soil was VERY DRY.

We also had some hot days, so temps may have gone above 85 degrees in the grow box. Because of these 2 things, some bottom leaves look a little yellowish, one dried up and fell off. I HOPE this is the reason.

Extra Info: The top 44's are bushy and happy, the 2 unknown sativas are being LST'd because they are growing tall and straight UP. Currently, I have 6 CFL's - (2) 6500k, (2)5500k, and (2)2700k.

So last weekend, the plants started yellowing from bottom leaves up and they had stopped growing.

I finally concluded it was either from under watering, nitrogen deficiency, or because i had added two 2700k lights.

So I removed the 2700k bulbs, gave the plants lots of water with nutes high in N, and low P K. They seem to be doing better, growing again and getting greener.

I haven't added the second pots yet, I am going to get square pots that are about 2 gallon that don't taper towards the bottom to maximize space in my box.

I have topped and LSTd all of them so they are all pretty bushy and low. So far one plant has shown sex and it is female

I am going to add the second pots this weekend and switch to 12/12. Flower time. The bottom pots will have same mix of soil i am using now, but will also have worm castings which i have been creating in a bucket.

That's all for now - for whoever is watching, oh lonely grow but happy grow.

I'm definitely curious if the mylar keeps the hermies away - subscribed!

Hey smoothdemon looks good, i have 5 top 44 seeds that just broke ground yesterday! I am excited I was wandering how your plants are doing! I am curious what to expect

IM ON THE RIGHT PAGE BUT WHATS MY FORMAT?

Hey Hutch - so far i really like Top 44 - out of 3 of them, one turned out to be male which i will post about next. They pre-flower really fast - mine started showing sex after 5-6 weeks of vegging. They also are very bushy and havent had the leaf discoloration like the other 2 random strains i have. My next grow will be Top 44 only. They are a good low maintenance plant i think.

So my plants are doing very well. I switched them to 12/12 last friday (11/07/0. The Top 44's had already shown there sex, 2 females and 1 male. So i killed the male - pic attached - the other 2 sativa plants still haven't shown their sex so i am waiting on them. i will take new pics and post them soon.

Sweet grow man, are you really only using 4 CFLs still? What size?

Thanks for the support guys - it's tough being a lone grower with nobody to share words with.

These are the latest pics. As you can see it's a crowded jungle -plants fighting for light and space. I only intended to grow 2-3 plants but I have to wait until 2 of the 4 show preflowers. Until then, they will be very tight. Last pic shows female hairs from one of the 2 Top 44s.

I have 6 bulbs right now:
2 - 42 watt 2700k
2 - 27 watt 2700k
2 - 27 watt 5500k

Temperature is at 80 degrees average thanks to the cool weather lately.
Plants are double stacked from 1 gallon to 2 gallon to give more room for roots and conserve space. So far so good - cross fingers.
