So here we go. This is kind of my first grow. I had a shitty first run that I won't count. All of these were started about five weeks ago.

For the most part they've been raised and vegged in Fox Farm soils with no nutes so far. They usually get sunlight during the day on my porch and at night they have different treatments. I topped them all today for the first time (maybe I should have done it a little sooner??? I'm still a newbie and I didn't know what topping was all about 'til recently).

There are three groups here, so I'll show you them in order but first here are a couple of "family photos".

Please don't respond until I get all of these posted. Thanks!

The awesome ones...

So these babies are feminized AK-47s. All FF soil from the beginning. They get sunlight on my porch on sunny days otherwise they are in my grow room under CFLs. Four per plant 42 watt (150 equivalent) 6500ks.

Just about all of the yellow leaves are from getting too close to the CFL's.

These ones are by far the healthiest of the bunch as you can probably tell. Not the tallest, but the bushiest, and they have a very lovely deep green to them.

When I potted up recently I decided this would be their final pots. The three smaller ones are 3 gallon containers and the gray bucket is 5 gallons.

Not sure when I'm going to move into 12/12 with these. Maybe another week or two???

BTW*** that first pic should not have been in there, that's five days ago...

The kind of awesome ones....

These ones are a batch of mystery seeds that were given to me. I think they might be white widow. Because I have limited resources I decided to use all my cfls on the AK-47s so they get sunlight during the day and a pair of shitty 40 watt tubes that I just keep them under so they don't flower prematurely...

At first these were the best of the bunch and they still look good to me but because we've had a lot of cloudy/rainy days they haven't been getting a great deal of sun and so when they're under the flouros I think it's causing them to stretch maybe a little more than I like.

Again, all of these are in Fox Farm soil.

I plan on potting up in a few weeks or so, for now they are in 2 gallon containers.

I'm not sure but I think some of these will be going to a guerilla grow spot or two which I'd rather not do but I think I have a few too many to handle, especially when they get bigger....

And finally, "The Misfits."

These guys all have problems. Some are getting better, others are taking a turn for the worse.

They all remain on my porch at night so they have now gone into 12/12 I guess.

The tiny guy was from some bunk seeds I took from some shitty weed. It was all an experiment to see how it would fair vs. the good stuff... She was looking better until she was knocked over a few days ago. All things considered she's doing ok after that, though.

The tall one in the 5 gallon grey bucket is in BlazeOneup's soil recipe but it looks a bit bright green to me so I'm thinking I may have botched the mixture a bit... It's looked really great until this week. Without enough sunlight it's stretching a good deal... I would say though that it probably looks the best out of this batch of misfits.

The remaining two were sent on Guerilla Grows, but I brought them back because there was a mishap with the drainage I gave them AND we started having massive rainstorms every day... The result was that they all experienced a good deal of shock. One of them is a femmed ak-47 and the other is from the mystery batch... The ak is in FF soil and the other is in the same batch of Blazeoneup soil mix as the tall guy...

So that's all of them. Feel free to tell me what you think and/or ask all the questions you'd like.... Thanks!

There all doin alright. Some are a little stretched but still really nice. I'd top them and branch them out. Get you a few clones too
 
topping will help them out a lot. they look pretty good a bit too tall and lanky but not too bad. when you top them it will let the lower stuff fill out.
