New Grow cfl-veg to hps-flower 7 strawberry cough and 1 kush plant, pics

This is my new grow, it is my second around, there are 7 strawberry coughs and 1 kush plant, all seedlings are about 1-3 days apart in age, the oldest being 5 days old from sprout.

here we go

1 -42w 2700k
2 -26w 6500k
1 -20w 6500k
2 -13w 2700k
= 140w of mixed spectrum

Miracle grow potting soil
no nutes until they get bigger

i will narrow it down to 4 plants, dont worry my unwanted will go to my fellow growers

3 will be in soil
1 will be in hydroton/hydro set-up
i will be using foxfarm nutes

i will be flowering under 2 50w hps (shown in last picture)

i have some more seeds starting in the soil, i find this the best way to start strawberry cough, my first 5 tries to germinate in a paper towel and a baggie were unsuccessful.

The little shelf is about 1.5' x 1.5' wide, and expandable to 4 feet in height.

Good luck on this grow...One question will you be using the same setup (grow cab) with the 2 50watt hps inside? I can't wait to see how the Strawberry Cough turns out for you. I'll watch this one. Later, Hoss

did u use cfls on your first grow..if so howd it turn out. have u used them 2 flower or do u always switch 2 hps?

cfls closer to plants. look at em man they're stretching. keep that shit compact.

i vegged with cfls and flowered for the first few weeks with cfl until i got the hps lights. it turned out pretty nice consider half of the flowering was under cfls.

the only reason they're stretching is because the ones that were stretched were under a cfl for sproutng and i kept it about a foot away, take a look at the shorter, older, more developed plant in the right bottom corner, that one hasnt stretched, also those 2 ones on the left shot up like crazy, the vertical growth slows eveeryday and foliage grow increases dramatically by the day. most of the cfls are about 2-3 inches above the plant. some maybe higher but oh well all the more light the better.

I love that setup, looks like it will be a good grow. good luck.

thanks man, its just temporary, basically once the plants get taller i will drop the shelf and re-adjust the lights. i want to flower early, going to veg for about 2 weeks.

here is some new pics from about 5-10 minutes ago.
pics of all 8 seedlings

the only kush seedling is labeled since all others are str. cough

any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

thanks

anybody know how long i should wait before i transplant them into their final pots.

i will be using 2 liter pots

i also forgot to add that one plant will be transplanted into a 2 liter pot, with hydroton, a 30 gpm drip, a 6 liter reservoir, and fox farm nutes.

ok here are the plants 2 weeks into veg, 18/6, same lights, 7 strawberry cough, 1 skunk x kush
temps in the low 80s
i will be flowering 4 of them in the end, and the rest will go to friends and/or outside
im hoping the skunk x kush will be female so i can get that bud plus make a few seeds with a male strawberry cough plant.
im also getting new pots tomorrow

here are the plants as of today
100w hps 42w 2700k cfl
12/12 since mar 4

ok here there are its been awhile, i still have all 8 plants but new homes for 4 of them so starting tomorrow i will have 4 plants

2 of them will be inside and 2 will be outside

any comments appreciated

12/12 since mar4

i need to get these 4 little girls out of that box so i can put my 4 plants in new pots

thanks ill update when i get new pots and get rid of the 4 plants

cool setup, alot like mine, sooner or later ill "borrow" my roomates camra and take some shots

I'd wait a little to transplant them, let them get a little bigger and stronger. Transplanting can cause shock to the plant, and the stronger it is the better it will cope with the stress. Maybe wait until you get another node and set of leaves. HOWEVER, don't let them get root bound (no more space left 4 roots) as this can really slow growth and hurt the plants.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts about how Strawberry Cough smokes. Have you smoked any before or is this your first grow with it. Keep us posted. Good luck with your grow!

well i think the roots have reached maximum capacity being that vertical and foliar growth has decreased almost dramatically, but tomorrow is the day im transplanting them, i have a method to continue to house the same dirt almost as if the plants were in the same pots, they will not even notice.

anyways yes i have smoked on the strawberry cough prior to growing, and im going to tell you what, the nugs i had were so full of hairs that the buds were literally orange. it was a very good high too, happy but chill.

5 of 6 of them are female so far!


all 5 strawberry cough plant i am growing have showed signs of female
the skunk x kush plant is a little younger but i figure it will turn out female being that males usually show signs of sex earlier. i have included 4 pics of some of the strawberry coughs pistils, sorry my camera took a shit after 4 pics but they are farely nice pictures.

THANKS and Cheers

all 6 plants are female =)
