i have 4 20w daylight spectrum bulbs on the 4 babies. but there are also 2 20w warm spectrum bulbs in the grow area, they just aren't directed at the small plants. lights are on a 12/12 cycle for now because of the flowering plant.

so i decided to harvest my flowering plant tonight. i decided i would rather have the extra space and the benefit of all 6 lights on the babies than to keep the flowering plant when there was no real sign that it was going to improve much. i've also increased the amount of time the lights are on to give them more light as well. anyway, here they are...

Plant A - 16 days
Plant B - 15 days
Plant C - 17 days
Plant D - 19 days

alright, so i picked up some quart sized containers tonight and got plants C and D transplanted from the 9 oz cups to the new ones. i think i might have broken some of the roots while transplanting plant C, but hopefully it wasn't too bad. will probably do the other two plants tomorrow. i think i will let them veg for another week or so and then switch them into flowering. yeah, thats about all i got right now. pictures tomorrow probably.

ok, so here are the kids after the transplant. they all seem to be taking it well. as you can tell plants A and B (which were seeds from my personal collecting) are considerably shorter than plants C and D (seed from a friend). i think its interesting though that all 4 seem to have slight variations in their growth. i'm also excited to see which ones will be females since i was lucky with my last grow (2 plants=2 females), though thats still some time away before i will know. anyway, here are the pictures. two of each plant: top and side view.

Plant A - 20 days
Plant B - 19 days
Plant C - 21 days
Plant D - 23 days

in addition to the transplant i have changed the lights to be on 24/7 which i think has stimulated a lot of growth the last couple days.

btw, anybody out there paying any attention to this....?

alright, well everything is looking good. been giving them some weak nutes about every other watering. i'm gonna pick up a couple more 2700k bulbs in the next day or so since i plan to switch them into flowering in about a week. i'm loving plant B and am hoping it will turn out to be female since it is so nice and compact. i'm hoping to end up with two females, since thats probably the best number for my space when they start getting big. anyway, here they are as of today.

Plant A - 24 days
Plant B - 23 days
Plant C - 25 days
Plant D - 27 days

Yo, how much did the light bulbs cost you. Im growing outdoors right now but I think 3 of my babies died cause the containers were like 6 inches wide... was that too much? I want to start growing indoors but money is sort of tight at the moment.

i've sort of acquired my stuff slowly since money is a continual issue with me as well. i'd say i've probably spent about $30 on bulbs and maybe another $30-40 on other things like y splitters, a fan, potting soil, pots, etc...

as for container size you can start them in any size container pretty much. i like to start them in plastic cups (something like solo cups) since its cheap and i find it easier to control my watering that way. if your wanting a grow journal to look at from start to finish you can check out my first grow which i had even less for than this one!
first grow (very low tech)

on another note, i am planning to switch over to 12/12 and change out my bulbs to start flowering tomorrow. pics either tonight or tomorrow i think.

ok, so picture time.

Plant A - 29 days
Plant B - 28 days
Plant C - 30 days
Plant D - 32 days

alright, so i'm pretty much ecstatic right now. i changed the lights last night about an hour before the lights clicked off for the night, and i get up today and check on them and find that i have one confirmed female plant already!!!! so, plant D is female and i'm going to keep a close eye on plant C as i spotted something that could be a preflower (i'm just not sure yet if its male or female).
