operation sprout

well here we are starting a jurnal in the middle of the grow...Here are some dates and facts, so you guys will feel like you've been on board from the begining...I have decided to syncronize my grow with the moon cycle just so I can keep my dates straight so the seeds started germination on the new moon in february and went on to 12/12 on the full moon in march, thats 6 weeks...Started with some fluros and than switched to 250 watter ferst mh, and now its a 250w hps . The purpose of this grow is to spent the bear minimum and still end up with a decent yeld and most of all gain the priceless experience to use on some seeds with decent genetics , this batch is bag seeds...The dirt is varied a bit, and mixed together but the best is still MG crap, the firts unfortunatly also MG...There are some problems with the grow and they are the main reson I'm starting this log...Any input is greatly apriciated and valued...So here we go , I'm gona post this and than see if I can post some pics .

Miracle Grow isn't horrible if you know what you are doing with it. I am not one of those people but by experimenting you might find that perfect balance. So keep us posted.

Hey thanx moog for giving me hope, the ladies do look pretty good I think...Well lets see if theese pics come out...

Well Think It's Time For Me To Go Watch A Movie And Smoke A Bleezy! Yea!

Peace Out Everybody!

WOW that took forewer,darn dialup...here is one more

Well that was painful,to download these 3 pics took about 2 beers lol,dialup sux. Anyway they do look pretty good however since I switched them to 12/12 I noticed significant drop in theyr growth, almost like no growth at all,is that normal?

There are 9 healthy plants and 3 that are small weak ones ,I still keepem around though, but the sex havent shown so maybe next weekend I hope to slauter one or 2 males to make more room for the ladies cos they squized there pretty tight...

darn, overslept and left the light on for 14 hours today, this will never happened again , but i wonder if even 1 time might affect the plants

O.k. here we go some more pics, I think some extra light might of ectually been good for them, however I will stick to the 12/12 not to jepordise the sex of the plants...also notice a few really tall sativas? Should I top them and how,any help will be great...

grrrr

wow talking about an exercise in patience, ok here is some more

Looks like you have 2 different types going. The first pic was definate indica and the others look very sativa. Im a miracle grow user myself and love moisture control the best. Once you go 12/12 for first week it may seem like its slows but then they will explode doubling or tripling in size.To early sex plants all you need to do is a pull a clone off each plant early in veg stage. Get it rooted for about a week then take the clones label according to its parent and toss the clones into 12/12 and within 3-5 days sex will show on the clones then just match the female clones to its mom and there you have it sexed known before veg was even finished.Sex shows in plants in about 5 days of 12/12.Good growin

ok here is a root shot, this pic is the last one for a wile cos Im starting to loose my temper

yeah you are right I've got 2 indicas and the rest is sativa,they all came out of my personal seed bank however some were pretty old, all are from quality herb though figure Ill do a test run befoure ordering some pedigree stuff.
I do have some early bud and early mysty on stand by , but that is gonna be a completly different type of op, ahhh the great outdoors!!!

how big is the bucket in your root picture....looks kinda small in the pic

nvm... i think thats a 5 gallon bucket next to it.....i could be blind. just wonderin

yeah the clear one I would think is about 3.5 gls and yeah next to it is5
