1 Week Anniversary Update:

-they are all lst'ed and two are topped.
-all have new growth everywhere.
-Bought a new digital indoor/outdoor thermometer,
-Nutrient spikes,
-a hydrometer
-took apart my hood and took the time to screw the fixtures into the actual wood... this cut heat ALOT.

right now I have 8 bulbs going on
4 23w-Daylight
2x13w-Blue
1x23w-low spec
1x42w daylight.


lookin good so far.

>Spikes are workin pretty well... it recommended 2 per 8 inch pot so I used 1 in each.
-As I said I changed everything around
-One of my plants is now 4 headed... the other is looking like its trying to mimic that :P
-The one I didnt top is getting nice and full yet tall.
-All are still LST'd... Bonsai'in that shit.
-This is my first grow, Learnin lots
-Electric tape is the result of me laying out wiring before screwing anything in... Just havnt gotten around to cleanin that crap up.
-Also need mylar.

For the 3 people that read my thread, here are some picks for ya guys :P


on vs off comparison


My 4 headed beast... Ide say that was a successful topping, wouldnt you?

another angle of the 4 headed shrubbery



These are my 3 baby girls. far left is not topped, but the other two are... all three are LST'd, one is partially scroged and growing 4 heads! haha.

I didnt paint any bulbs I just have 2 Blue glass 13w CFL's... I currently dont have them on anything... was thinking about turning my minifridge into a motherbox with an lst'd beast haha!

It may be my first grow, but I've learned alot on here and from my friend who I got the clones from :D

The seedling is still growing btw... but its pathetically slow haha... I refuse to remove it till I see it dead however... looks like its starting its second (or third(???)) set of true leaves!

Thanks again guys!

sorry, I was having some underwatering problems after I did all the lst and topping... not very cool... anyways here they are now a little healthier... 1 has 4 heads, 1 has 3, and one is trying to make like 5 but has 2 main ones.

Cheers.


p.s. 2 were topped, 2 were Lst'ed, 1 was scrogged from clone. lookin very interesting to me so far anyways








P.s. interesting side note... the two that were topped didnt show as many signs as being underwatered as the untopped one did... interesting finding for me... hmmm...

Nice setup man.. I'm starting one up too. Don't the lights need to be abit closer?..or atleast closer to the seedling...

the lights were closer, but its alot of heat. If I see them take off in height Ill drop the hood back down... but for now Ide rather the plants be at the right temperature.... they are getting tons of light anyways! haha

Did you ever think about switching that foil to white computer paper? It's alot less heat, and a shit-pile more reflective.. no burn spots, either.
