Micro Grow- Afghan Kush w t-5's

Ok- i'm having some problems with the kush seeds- i think i f-cked them up, but i still think they'll be ok - i'm gonna put these outside, and use some sour nl x nevilles haze from female seeds x line.(they were slated for my outdoor grow) Here's the dscription from the female seeds web site-

"A classic Indica/sativa ‘’winners’’ cross (NLxHaze) in an upgraded edition. One parent is an upgraded Northern Light. With an according to connesuirs ‘’Sour’’ smell and taste. She was never crossed with ‘Sour’strains, she just has that smell and taste. Like any Northern Light she is very strong and crossed with an indoor adapted Nevilles Haze. They need 10-12 weeks of 12/12 and 3-4 feet in height after 2-3 weeks of veg. Expect overgrown with resin buds here, with a very special smell and taste. They maybe need a bit longer than average, but will perform far out better than average too."

They are about 5 inches, and i'm going 12/12 on Friday. I know its way early, but i'm under time constraints and i gotta keep them low. They will have a total of 29-30 inches of grow height avail to them, so as you see that not alot. I'll start lst them right away, and hopefully buy going 12/12 after a week and half of veg they stay small. Before i start hearing about yeild, i only grow for myself and use it for pain relief. If i get an 30-38 grams out of 3 of these and hopefully one kush, i'll be happy. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, as i have all my zumals, lowryders and kush sprouts in there also now but they have to go in the other cabinet by thurs. I will be growing 4 plants, the nl x haze is a definit, but the fourth is gonna be who looks best by friday, Any comments are welcome

Ok grow is underway since the 1st- pics later today- it ended up being 1 afghan kush fem, and 2 neville haze x nl fem crosses....all under t-5s for the whole grow with cfl's as side lighting. 12/12 started 3 days after sprouting- lets see what happens. pics later today

Ok here are the pics- theses are 5 days old- went 12/12 at 3 days- lights- 2' 4 bulb t-5 with flowering bulbs, 10 27 watt cfl's 5000k. Heat 85 during lights on and 58 or lights off. Humidity is holding at + - 50%. plants have noticibly grown in the last 2 days. Pure water w liquid karma until next week when i'll go with 1/4 strenth nutes and bat guano. Never done a 12/12 from seed, so lets ee what happens. the Afghan kush is in the small pot, will repot in one or two weeks. LST will atrat when we get a little height, but i will start it early and do it often.

Heres also a pic of the cab and how i stelthed it out- people walk right by it and never notice. Also my little lowryder is in the cab also due to lack of room in the other cab- filled with my outdoor stuff for another week or so

Ohh no-- went out this afternoon to check the cabinet- the fans had stopped working and the temp read 105!!! They look ok, i watered them and fixed the problem- temps at 90 and falling- hopefully they'll be ok. Pics tomorrow.

Ok- here we are 1 month since my last post- things have changed- 4 days ago i switched from 12/12 om t-5's to a new 400watt hps cool tube........btw htg is the best...gotta love those guys.....in the past month the plants did very well with the t-5's but i think the buds would of been small nd not very dense, so thats wht i got the hps. So the pics i'm posting are 4 days of hps, and about 30 days of t-5 on 12/12....what have i learned from going 12/12 from seed?? Well, it appears i really doesnt save too much time- they still need at least 5-7 weeks...the good thing is it does control height, the 2 kush i have in there are about 10 inches high and the haze/nl cross are about 18 inches (i've lst-ed them...dont know if you can see it in the pics. ) There are tons of bud sites and if i give them another 5-7 weeks i think the yeild will be fine. I'm a med grower so a decient yeild is just fine with me. With the cool tube i'm keeping temps in the high 80's (its 95 degrees here today- cab is in my garage, which is about 82, so its about 5 degrees over the ambiant temp). So heres some pics- enjoy...next post in about 4-5 days-please comment, any tips are greatly appriciated...

ok 5 days later- had a problem with yellowing of some fan leaves- not nute burn, i think i was overwatering...cut them away- anyway, they still are coming along ok- any comments welcome

PB

Ohh yeah- upgraded my fan in the cool tube- temps are holding in the high 70's...gotta like that...i'm keeping the tube 8 inches from the canopy-- is that ok???

Question for everyone- by looking at these buds, when do a think they'll be done- opinions please- new pics tomorrow- closer pics of the buds
