5 CFL, All Organic, Soil, Perpteual Grow

Thanks. I have mcgyvered up so many items for this grow. lol.

New Pics!!

I finally broke down and bought plant food. I wanted to stay all organic, but these buds look a little too scimp to me.

Let me know what you think:

Does anyone know what I am looking at here as far as time? another 3-4 weeks?

How long have they been 12/12? Do you know what strain? usually its 8-10 weeks average especially with cfls

Unknown strain, they have been in 12/12 for 4 weeks now.

ya id say around 8-10 is the normal but if you can go get a little 30x illuminated pocket Microscope, They are like 20 at radio shack(maybe wal-mart too?) and they're like 5 dollars online (just google 30x pocket microscope) then just wait until you start seein alot of amber crystals. Then you can even harvest half or so first, most of the time some nugs will finish early and others will need a little more time. But so far the beauts are lookin good, they thickened up a little since the last pics, but ya the most important part of growing is the light, you can never have to much.

Cool. I moved the lights around today. One LED bulb red, next to two warm CFLS, then down where the seedlings are, one blue LED light bulb andn one warm cfl. As soon as my new y connector gets here I will add another set of lights.

Found a new place for my mylar today guys, pics soon.

Ok here are the new pics.

The second crop has finally sprouted. Looks like there will be 4 total so far.

I put the mylar on the door and in one day you can see a huge difference. While white paint reflects fine, white paint on a cheaply made door does not.

I wish these buds would swell up. I got some plant food sticks today, once I figure how much I need I will feed them full.

+rep for good advice guys.

I just wish I could get those buds fatter. I can't add more light because in their stage of life light would be diminishing. ugh. I gave them some plant food sticks today, lets see if that helps.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words and rep. I rep'd you back brother. Got to spread the love.

Here is what seems like a stupid question so rep to whoever answers without making fun of me. lol.

Do the roots of the plant only grow at night?

That's actually a very good question. I think there growing 24/7 though. Not 100% positive on that but pretty damn sure. My bubble cloner runs on 24/7 so I know they grow during lights on but the roots themselves in in the dark.

Root growth is promoted more in dark cycles, but does still grow some during light. Reason being is during light t imes, plant is geared more towards photosynthesis and upward growth... This is why alot of people swear by 18/6 for veg time light cycles. Good balance between upward growth and root development.

Thanks guys!

Lookin good moob......

Thanks man. I guess I am not doing too shabby for my first ever grow.

Ok so with only a few more weeks left I thought i was going to be lucky and avoid one of my plants getting sick. then today, this:



So I turn to you sages of weed wisdom, please help figure out what is wrong and how to cure it so they can go on for 2 more weeks.
