Hello! Just catching up on my current grow i started in April. I ordered my beans from the Attitude and received several freebees as well, the feminized Rocklock being one of them. Currently they are 42 days or 6 weeks into bloom. I veg under a four foot four bulb T5, several fluorescent tubes and some CFL's as well. I bloom with with a 600w air cooled hps. My soil is an organic bag blend from the hardware store with perlite and lime added in. I guess I will treat this thread like a grow journal, Feel Free To Post Comments! Well, I have some catching up to do, so first are some pics of my beans germinating on the dvd player(for heat) and some of them popping through the soil. These were taken the first week of April.

Here is the Vortex, Cannadential and RockLock at about six weeks from germination. I had them out in the garage for a few days under an old metal halide to speed up the vegging so i could take cuttings. I also had already topped all of them..

In total I started with nine seedlings. Five Vortex, three Cannadential and a feminized Rocklock. One of the Cannadential seedlings didn't make it and two of the vortex sexed male. In total I vegged them for about nine weeks, don't know the exact time frame but i will do the math at some point. I made cuttings and went ahead and put the original plant's under 12/12. I started them in small cup sized pots and moved them to one gallon, right before flowering they went into three gallon pots. During veg they were fed foxfarm three part veg nutes and molasses every few waterings.

These are from a week later when they started showing sex. Most of the Vortex revealed its sex first, then the RL and the Canna.

Week two of flower, Bud sites are starting to really pop! And a few pics going into week three. I had them set up in my now veg room area, but due to construction, the early portion of budding the plants were in transition..

Mid week five. buds are starting to get fat and i can really smell em now. I hope my carbon filter can keep up. Also they have ramped up to full strength on nutes. Had to back off the vortex some, got some crispy tips on some of the fan leaves.

Thanks for the rep! Yeah i'm using an air cooled 600w hps. Getting close to harvesting the Cannadential and possibly the RL in another week or two. One of the Vortex strains may go earlier than the other two, it has shown more indica dominant characteristics and is packing on density and mass like crazy!
