Think Different Showing Sex?! (Day 22 with pics)

How is the grow goin now? Have they shot up like expected and what day are they on?

Mine are now on day 18 and growing rapidly....way faster than last time but that might have something to do with having an extra 600w in there

Happy Growing

looking good man!!

Here is an update. They are now at day 42! Wohoo.. my scrog is doing prettty good. 3 of the 4 plants have stopped growing vertically and have started to bud. The one closest to the camera in the pic is the one that has been still growing. So big question when they have stopped growing vertically basicly and the buds are just shy of the net will they grow up towards the light once they start budding ? or will they remain below the screen because vertical growth has stopped. Guess the question is will the buds grow vertically ? I have been feeding with KIND nutrients at about the 75 % range from what it says on the pre generated schedule online for soil. Using Hydroplex as a bud enhancer. I also have Massive by blue planet that i was thinking about using as well. Anyway on to the pics!!!! Even the LED side has blown up quite a bit... SHORT and SUPER BUSHY!

They have come a long wat sionce your last update!
How many TD do you have in there?
I'm really impressed on how well they have taken to scrog, it's also interesting to watch coz I've not used this method and can give me a good insight into how it works! I think im a lil late to try it out now, I'm on day 17 and all 7 are around the 1 foot mark in height. I think mine are just into preflower aswel. What I think il do now is follow your journal closely and pick up as much as possible and try it next time.
They look like they a're flowering really well!
Do you notice a difference from HPS to LED??

Any more updates comin soon mate?

at the day 28 mark or so in your thread you said " my plants are already in flower " or something like that im sure you have figured this out but if you havent
i figured id clarify since no one else has auto's show sex / pop preflowers but continue to veg they really are not flowering until stretch stops this is when i fully switch to flower nutes like i said you may have already noticed but was just tossin that out there

and the buds will stack some but for the most part if they have stopped stretching it will be stacking and swelling after this for the most part

Here we go update day 50! crazy how time flies... anyway they have stopped growing vertically. The LED side is super short and bushy. Not all that impressed with the LED growing in soil... They seem way to short considering everyone elses plants ive looked at and might have detered me from growing with LEDs for a while.. Maybe Mars2 arent the greatest or maybe i just need to learn more about growing with them. The scrog looks good and are WAY bigger then the LED side and have waaaay more bud sites... I might be scrapping the whole LED thing until i can afford something that can actually compare to a HPS... So anyway everything is really green and it seems the LED side is ahead of the HPS side in maturity..... I didnt water enough or give nutes soon enough i dont think and thats why mine are so much smaller then everyone else... Oh well i learned SOOOO much in just 50 days its unreal. So much i have already started some DWC buckets with AutoMazar and Vertigo by Paradise. Which in week 3 are double what my TDS were at week 4.... ANYWAY on to the pics.... They still have 20 days until the 70 day mark and think they will chunk up big time in the next little while.... i plan on going until about 70 days with nutes and then i will flush for 10 days with some Clearex and just Ph'd water then HARVEST!!! anyway if they dont look like they will be done then i would appreciate any input. HERES THE PICS!!!

ive had my best luck vegging with 2000-2700k flouro's and then switching to led's
when ii was flowering with just led's now i veg with veg led's and flouro's and flower with hps and bloom led's but they are all in the same box so its a bit of a mash up i just move the plants under the light they need

Put another 600 hps and took out a couple LEDs... I have a few babies in with them and want them to be bigger then what happened with the LEDs side with the TD's

Wow! Really impressed how they have come on!! I got to say I'm a lil disappointed in how the LED turned out, I expected much more from it. Then again it could just be a bad experience??
On the other hand they all look very healthy from what I can see and the buds look good! Can't wait to see them in a couple weeks when they really swell up, I'm sure you will have a good yield if everything goes to plan!
In my personal opinion autos take a lil longer than what they breeders say....needless to say I've harvested early at around week 10-11 because of.personal circumstances and still pulled 16.5 oz dry from 7 TD

Happy Growing

the led plants are going to be rock hard and super sticky kinda almost worth the 1/2 oz or what ever your losing just for the quality

So how are things turning out for your girls? Anymore recent pics?

Goin by your journal you should be around the 60 day mark now and probably very close.to the best part of any grow.....harvesting would love to hear some details mate lol

Happy Growing

They have come along pretty well... My scrog is MINT! the temps were getting a little high but i think i have curved it with a bigger fan and now am using a intake fan as well to keep it cool.... Im going to take them with nutes until about day 70 then flush for 10 days. I would like to know what you think about this . I want to harvest when they are not going to get any bigger but i dont want to loose potency.

They look fuckin stunnin done a good job with these and can't wait to see the finished results!!

Keeping temps down can be a bitch but yout done well, in my opinion 70 days then flush sounds good, best way to tell is goin by the trichomes....do you know what to look for? 10 days of flushing is fine just make sure you don't water them in.the last 3 days or you will have added wetness in the buds that we don't need

If you need any advice when it comes to the trichomes let me no and il explain....good luck!

Click to expand...

Wouldnt mind some advice on trics... they seem to be mostly clear with some cloudy...

Right ok, you want to aim for around 85% cloudy/milky, 5% Amber and 10% clear

Amber trichomes mean the THC is starting to degrade, clear ones mean the THC hasn't yet become mature and will not give you the "stoned" buzz and milky/cloudy is what you want.

Its impossible to get 100% cloudy as trichomes are continuously changing and growing. Also check the whole plant with a magnifying glass as the ones at the top mature quicker than the ones at the bottom, wait til the pistils (hairs) start to recede back into the calyxes aswel as that's a sire sign of them bein ready for harvest, heres what you should be lookin for.....

with the LEDs, what was your height placement from the canopy?

How have they come on? Have you chopped any yet and if so what's the end result and weight?
