Hello Everyone,

So I have just started my grow journal (better late then never).

My babies are now 6 weeks old today (Happy b'day darlings) Gave them some nitrogen for there birthday.

Anyway, please check out the pictures and feel free to tell me what you guys think and any ways I can improve.

I planted 5 seeds, 4 sprouted and 2 just never really looked like making it from day 1, they took around 9 days to sprout. So that leaves me with 2 babies, female I hope, still waiting for the ultrasound to confirm.

One thing I am really proud of with these babies is that they are really tight in nodes, really bushy and minimal to no stretch. 5 leaves so far (Sorry to the guy in another thread who I told they had 9, my bad) and generally looking pretty healthy.

Will keep this updated!

Mate, No idea! I was hoping someone could maybe enlighten me. It's just some bagseed from some killer weed.

Here is a picture of the grow room.

Well, does it look more sativa or indica? I got no clue.

The room is like 2 metres wide, about 6 foot tall and about a metre deep. It's pretty well perfect.

I'm growing a soil-less grow, it consists of half coco-peat and half perlite. Watering with pure spring water, alternating between miracle grow at 1/2 strength and just plain spring water. About 2 litres of water every 3-5 days depending on the moisture of the medium.

Do they look a little small for 6 weeks? They are compact though.

Good point HydroKush - raised the lights another 5-8 inches. Hope this helps them progress a little bit more. Will also measure the temps to see if it drops a little.

Well here is some more pics of the more Sativa dominant plant.

She stands 11" tall so far, was only 8" 5 days ago!

And it looks like I can see 2 tiny white hairs coming from one of the nodes, lets hope this is a definite female.

Thanks Mr Bud!

I love the fact that it's so small, bushy and compact rather then long, tall and spindly.

Ok...

So, the confirmed female is now about 16" tall.

I went for a trip to the Hydro store today and bought a bucket load of stuff. Mainly stuff for cloning purposes.

I bought a Cloning Kit which consists of 50x small cubes of Rock Wool, A Propagator/Dome and a bunch of nutes later on for flowering.

So I have now taken 9 clones from my female plant and placed them in the propagator.

Now it's just time for patience and wait for these lil' guys to root!
