Small buds continue to develop into what I can tell is going to be some awesome bud. All the plants are very vigorous, small trichomes are starting to develop on the leaves.

In a matter of a few days under 12/12 most of my plants were already showing their sex, in all I came out with 4 lovely females. 2 that were topped, 2 that weren't. They grew up and out fast into big bushy plants! By mid 2nd week I was seeing small bud development.

Albeit a bit delayed, here's some updates with the remainder of the grow. Plants continued to grow strong through week 3, once thay had 3-4 nodes off the main stem a few were topped for fun; and also encourage the development of more dominate colas. The Plants continued to veg in 24 hour...

I agree that eBay fan and filter is a great deal. You should seriously consider that option.

Swampy, what does your carbon filter setup look like? Are we talking about an inline fan attached to a can filter of sorts, or is it a homemade deal? If it's a fan to a filter then you really should be good to go, the only problem I can think of would be that the fan isn't powerful enough, but...

Oh, those plants look very nice! An excellent start for a first grow!

There's really no way to know what you'll yield until it's all said and done, just care for your plant the best you can and read up on all the good knowledge that is shared here. You're off to a good start.

For what you're saying this little one has turned out very nice. I like the color of the leaves, they don't give hint to any nutrient deficiency or abundances. Definitely a sativa dominate plant, which means you'll probably be flowering her to around 9 weeks or longer. Good use of multiple...

It's still a tad early to know whether your little plant is an indica or sativa. As it grows if the fan leaves are big and fat, you a have an indica dominate plant; if they are longer and skinny you have a sativa dominate plant. There's really no way to know if you have an auto-flowering plant...

If you haven't already check out the book "Marijuana Buds for Less: Grow 8oz. of Bud for Less Than $100," its a great newbie book that covers a lot of material, the author shows how to use CFLs effectively and gives a day by day account of the entire growing process. Definitely the place I would...

Like GrowOver said, it's perlite or vermiculite. They're added to the soil to help it drain better. If you live in an area where theres a grow shop check out "Fox Farms Soil," its great soil with all that added stuff including organic nutrients, a lot of people here use it with great results...

Hey Kensou, It's pretty simple man, hope this helps the confusion; Watering For Soil Mixtures: 1. Grab a gallon of water 2. Mix your nutrients into the water: add only the "Grow" Nutrients to your plants that are in the Vegetative state and add only "Bloom" nutrients to those that are...

Yes, basically more light = more growth. Are you going to be flowering under a HID or CFL's? If your flowering under CFL's use as many as you can to get the best possible yield. If your flowering under an HID you could use CFL's as supplementary side lighting for a larger yield.

Plants tend to at least double in size when you switch to (12/12) so I would say you're good to go. Beautiful plant btw.

Nice post, good pics. +rep

Well it sounds like you have a great exhaust system that's really pulling the heat through. If it's not too hot for your hand then it shouldn't be too hot for your plants. Just watch those colas closely, It's all about creating that happy medium between heat and light intensity, so it sounds...

At the start of the second week all the plants are looking great and growing strong. We're officially out of the seedling stage and in vegetative.

A lot of it is going to be using your own personal experience, and reading up on others experiences in the forum. I know a lot of people here use General Hydroponics Nutes so search around. Start with the minimum recommended dosage and if your plants respond well to it you can experiment with...

That's hilarious man, this thread just made my day!

For sure man, I'm definitely going to try and update to the best of my ability. Hopefully I'll be able to document some really cool stuff. Thanks for checking it out!
