oh yeah that's gonna be some nice poutine eh, are they feminized seeds or are you taking a gamble with the 2 plants?

yeah they are feminized. i only have room for 2 plants, and i figured the extra price was worth the time i would have to spend incase they both turned out male. im going to let them sit in dark for a day or two, and then its time for 12/12 hours of light!

im so damn excited!

pics of little plant just before flowering. there is some very noticeable spotting on this one, but you cant tell from these shots. my pH was a little high, so it might be nutrient lockout. i figure ill give it a few days in the 12/12 light and hope the soil gets more acidic, if thats the case.

ill be posting pictures for help if it doesnt clear up.

Hey man,

I'm still following and trying to learn...thanks for keeping this up. Can I ask a question? Are you going to be adding more 2700k bulbs and removing the others when you start to flower?

Or are you going to keep a mix?

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

i would keep a mix of lights, but when i do add another 23 watt 6500K, my temperature shoots up to about 85. so for me, im keeping all 2700K just for temperature purposes. ive seen how slow the plants "grow" when the temp is high. im trying to keep them under 82 degrees

big plant.

looks like the nute burn from my hydrated lime has finally stopped after i flushed with about 2 gallons of water. i added just regular high nitrogen fertilizer a few days later, and the leaves are starting to get a dark green again. things go very well for me when i barely do anything... gotta remember that!

also, i tied anything that was sticking up too high. so i now have an even canopy and a lot more space for light to get into. the plant is still staying very short and bushy, which is terrific!

little plant.

same deal as bigger plant, but this one didnt handle the nutrient overload from the lime nearly as well. lotsa burn marks, but they have seemed to stop spreading, and i believe are now under control.

i tied down anything sticking up, just like the big plant.

pouteh....you nailed it .....inddor grows with cfl's dont grow good under intense heat....especially when your cfl's are 2700k.....but outdoors....even when it gets upto 90 degrees..my clones still luv it... and my girls....in the sun rays out here in la... its like 100 degrees farenhiet.

Following your grow. Really interested in how it turns out with the CFL's and a really good strain.

One thing to be aware of when using MG soil is that flushing it might cause the time-release nitrogen to "activate" flooding your plant with nitrogen causing burn. Or so I've read. I never flushed the ones I have in MG without using Clearex first so can't attest to it personally.

glad to hear people are following this. i actually kind of take back what i said. the old growth from the beginning is turning yellow and dying off, but the new growth looks pretty healthy and green. ill give it a few days since i just added some flowering nutrients for the first time.

perhaps pics by the weekend :mrgreen:

ps
after a flush in MG soil, i typically see the most growth. i have no real way of testing it, but its obviously either too many nutes, and they are being flushed out, or i am under fertilizing, and lots of N is being released, which is aiding growth

That may be the nitrogen being released from the MG soil. N is used for growth in veg so that makes sense.
