Hey guys gut some updates. Esme is starting to really grow, but no pre-flowers yet. Daphnie and Jarobie are steadily growing.

These pics are from last night. So they are bigger than this. Esme grew so much I had to retie her down farther up her stalk to keep it horizontal. Daphnie has a third set of leaves coming up, and Jarobie's stalk as gone all green instead of that red/purple color.

Some family shots:
The light makes it look like neon colors.


The case:



Sorry the pics are so small. I took them with my friends new phone. Cause it gave better details than mine.

Plants a growing like crazy. Some are getting into trouble though.

I had to bury Jarobie down a bit cause she was stretching. She looks fine though.

Emse has some yellowing and browning of her lowest leaves. Some are even curled up, but they don't feel crunchy at all. Is this from the nutes? Also she twisted all wierd. Hopefully it will sort out when it stretchs for the light.

Daphnies the only one not giving me problems. She's a sweety.

Do you see what I see?


I might be wrong, but that looks female to me. Anyone else think so?

Cool setup man, I have been looking into doing something similar. However i was checking out your pics and noticed that the consistency of your soil is not what it should be. It has WAY too many wood chips and broken sticks in it. Did you buy potting soil and possibly forget to mix it in with normal soil from you yard? Or maybe you just didnt add enough regular dirt? Either way your growing medium has way too much wood in it, a little is good for keeping the soil loose and breathable, but too much can slow/stunt your plants growth, possibly permanately if the plant grows in the soil for so long its roots become entwined in all the chips which then makes transplanting and removing the wood chips from the roots impossible without ripping apart the roots first. (trust me, i know from past mistakes :( ). If i were you id try transplanting to a better soil asap. When doing so try to brush away as many wood chips as possible, trying to get only the roots and the dirt inbetween and around them. Brush off as many wood chips surrounding the roots as you can without damaging the roots, its ok to loose a few of the thread sized ones, just try not too lose any large clumps of them, as that would force your plant to regrow the lost roots before above soil plant growth could begin again. Hope it all works out for you man, good luck!

Great work dude. Congrats on the female flower.
Looks like she could do with some nutes now to stop her munching on those lower leaves.
If the little one has really shot up to the light then it possibly needs to be a bit closer than the others.

Thanks DW. You know I'll be good to her, cause I want her to be good to me in the end.

Ligerius, I used MG organic potting soil. Didn't mix it with anything just used it straight out of the bag. Maybe next time I'll try a better medium for my soil.

V12, You think that's whats hapening? She's eating herself? I guess I need to up the dosage on the nutes I'm giving her then. The little one, Jarobi is pretty close to the lights now. I don' think there will be much stretching going on any more.

I think so Neph.
This is a pretty big stage in her life. She has to switch into flowering mode and pack on as much weight as she can in the next 10 days or so. It's too early for them to be yellowing as a result of the flowering process.
IIRC ER got MG organic and it has no nutes in it so it's possible she's only had what you have given her. Go easy on the nutes but do up them. No more than double the current strength and see how she goes.
Don't take me too literally with Jarobi. She's only a little mite still :)
I put my babies about an inch away from a 13w 6500k and it gets them to 7 fingered leaves in 4 nodes with about an inch of stretch. It's a good start.

So when should she be done? The longest flowering time I've seen is like 9 weeks. Should I use that for her date? Is it 9 weeks since I've seen the first pre-flower? If that's the case she wont be done till June 19. Ughh, that's so far away.

It's worse than you think :(
You need to add a few days on for the plant to begin flowering fully. Those are only the preflowers you are seeing. I'd be guessing 9 - 10 weeks from now.

June 26 then? That's even farther away. Oh well maybe she'll flower real quickly. I doubt it though. :(

That's why I run a perpetual system. If I put a plant in every 3 weeks then I can take one out every 3 weeks too :)
