The Grow:

150w HPS sunsetter Light
5 Top 44 seeds
3 florecent tubes
Miracle Grow Plant feed 12-4-8
Bloom Fertilizer 2-11-11
Miracle Grow Potting Soil

Ok so this is my first grow and i'm learning as I go. I germinted 5 top 44 seeds using the paper towel method, all poped within 72 hours. 4 sprouted and 3 made it past 1 week.

I grew them in 12oz solo cups, under three florecent tubes for 10 days using a 18/6 cycle. Then transfered them into half gallon pots and put them under the 150w HPS light same 18/6 cycle.

Here they are at about day 20. I have been feeding them miracle grow fertilizer at half strenth since i translplanted them 10 days ago. They are at the size I want am I am now changing them to 12/12 to start budding

Ok so they have been under 12/12 for 13 days and they are all females!!!

I stoped feeding them the miracle grow fertilizer and started feeding them the bloom fertilizer at half strength every wattering. About once every 3-4 days. There are tons of pistils on all the bud sites and she's starting to stink. So I went to the hardware store and bought a desk fan, PVC pipe, activated carbon and some other supplies and built a home made carbon filter. (I'll put some pics up of it later). It decreased the smell drastically, but it still smells a little.

I Transfered the plants into 2 gallon pots 3 days ago and cut 1 clone from each plant. I labeled the clones and plants and whichever plant is the best producer will be my mother plant.

I have a few concerns with this grow. I fear for the size of my plants, 18"-20", my grow light isn't big enough. The plants can't be completely covered under the light and they grow really fast everytime i raise the light so that the entire plants are under it. I'll attach some pics.

I'll keep you guy's updated

I germinated and planted the mazar x afghan about two weeks ago and they are growing under florecent lights in a differeant room. The timer is set at 20/4 for the veg stage. I also have a clone you can see in there that is from one of the top 44 plants. One of the mazar x Afghan plants isn't looking to well and I'm not sure why, i'll post some pics.

Picture one shows the grow room, is a 95w CFL grow light with a reflector, and the three plants. The small cup the clone I took

Picture 2 is a close up of the healthiest and biggest plant.

Picture 3 and 4 are the not so healthy looking one.

I have not been fertilizing yet, will probally start on there next watering in 2 days. I have a miracle grow power feed, 12-4-8 I plan on using at half strength.

I was planing on posting an update of my Top 44 plants but will have to do that tmrw because the light was out when I went to check on them and i didn;t want to open the door and screw up the 12 hours of darkness they need. But they look great and smell even better. I'll keep you posted.
