Week 1 Pics are attached,

Details of the start are in the outdoor section here:

First Grow Ever and Outdoors

Week 1 pics are located there as well.

Here are the week 2 pics.

Everything seems to be going fine, going to water again tomorrow. They took the last feeding just fine, pruned a few small yellow leaves, but otherwise have some healthy plants.

The 5 are going into 5 gal containers next week. I have the soil mix cooking for a week. I am going to leave the other one alone for now in the larger pot. I have plenty of soil mix to use.

Two more waterings of plain water (including tomorrow's) and then I will hit them with some more nutes. This time it is going to be fish sauce, a little more water soluable and less powerful. I figure see what a normal dose does than up it from there. I will reserve the bat guano for later unless someone has better advice.

Looking nice bro !! Keep it up

Thanks man, I hope I get a respectable harvest. I have a closet open...I am considering going indoor hydro for a continuous flow of bud, like 2 vegging, 2 flowering, and a mother...I have a unique spot for this.

Today I repotted 3 into 5 gal buckets. White buckets lined with black trash bags...keeping it cheap y'all.

Will re-pot 2 more tomorrow, planning on leaving the plant in the big container alone for now.

I have a new soil mix consisting of this crazy ass "soil mix" from OSH, some potting soil, compost, worm castings, blood meal, bone meal, lime, extra perlite, and actually a touch of vermiculite. I have a ton of soil left to do the other two and at least a third (good thing). I hit them with only water and Vitamin B additive.

I have some yellowing lower leaves and I am certain that it is due to excess nitrogen...only half the plants are affected, but since I have seen people's pics on this very site, I can tell you that lower yellow leaf creeps and is not good...it is not the end of the world and thus I have repotted. I attribute to too much particulate fertilizer going onto the top of the soil duing feeding (i.e. bits of blood meal and bat guano and worm castings and compost)...so it was like every watering was a feeding.

The plants are otherwise healthy and the 3 took the transplanting quite well. Temps are cool and the plants have more room to grow now.

It should be noted that the root balls of the plants that I had previously transplanted into a "soil mix" (i.e. the toothpick marked) had root balls twice as big as the ones that did not have the toothpick (it's in the first thread's pics, follow the links previously)...those only had "Miracle Grow Potting Soil" (NOT the organic stuff - which is way more better) straight (and extra food as stated above and in the first thread). I had to replant one simply because it outgrew it's cage, it literally started hit ceiling of the situation, but that has been resolved. This is a very important note to outdoor growers - amend your soil with the good shit, it pays huge divedends it terms of root propagation.

Here is my mix:

1 part soil mix (has all kinds of funky shit like rice hulls and coconut hair and shit)
or
2 parts Miracle Grow ORGANIC Potting Soil (this is good shit - not normal miracle grow)
1 part compost
2/3 bag of worm castings (from Wal-Mart - can't go wrong no matter how much you use)
1/4 cup blood meal
1/4 cup bone meal
1/2 cup lime (can't possibly go wrong using lime)
1 small bag perlite (big bags are fucking huge)

I repeat...this is the shit...

Sex is still unknown, I am praying I have 6 healthy ladies, nothing is showing yet. I estimate these plants to be but 7 weeks old.

Photos on Sunday

peace

Repotted two more yesterday evening. One is doing great, the other did not take it so well, nothing it won't be able to get over, just a little "down" - been so since yesterday but otherwise healthy.

Pics will come on Sunday evening - that will be the weekly pic parade.

I must note that the bottoms of those re-used coffee containers we quite moist, I believe that certainly the conical end shape of a traditional clay pot keeps that bottom moisture in check...I see where I "could" have the same issue with the new modified buckets...it is noted.

I still do not know the sex of these, they are still relatively short. I have seen the "Outdoor Monsters Thread" which is impressive.

OK, pictures were taken, but I did not post them as promised.

I believe the plants are beginning to preflower in that the most microscopic of little buds are starting to form on half of them. Pray for females.

Contrary to the sticky, I encourage all posts to the journal...do not hesitate.


At current estimation, I believe I have at least two females and one male. This is based on the preflowering that is occurring in little bits, you really have to strain your eyes, but you can kinda tell on one that a big old side boner is popping out...little balls are all up on the tip of the cola...they are tiny, but yeah, I think it is not a good sign...

On the other hand, I am fairly certain that two are indeed female.

I think that I am going to take this indoor as well. I know it prolly wasn't the best idea to but them in buckets...I fully intended to carry this through the outdoor and just let mother nature take care of it. But, I am thinking discretion is the better part of valor on this one...besides, I got me a closet all cleared out, about 8 square feet in all, but I can easily fit four, possibly five buckets into this...got me 2 150w HPS on the way.

So, I will be running 2x 150w HPS in about 7 square feet, I figure that is roughly 38000 lumens over 8 looking at about 5400 per sq ft, and I believe that 3000 is a good rule of thumb for nice flowering(?)...I think I have plenty of light...it's a closet.

I will have the closet all mylar'd up so it will be a good show.

How's that sound?

Sexing help anyone? I don't see the any branches poking out, it just appears that these are pre-flowers?

Help?

Down to three, I think I have 1 more male by the early look of him and maybe 1 female, the third is decidedly not sexed at all, no little bumps yet, another week for certain...I should be getting my closet ready soon.
