Went to the Chi town for 2 days, came back and was APPAULED at the progress they made....did not think they could grow that much in 2 days!!
New questions...
1. should I think about transplanting into a bigger container?
2. they have been on 12/12 for about 4 days now, when will I start seeing sex so I can rip them males out?
3. Can I LST yet?
4. I need to mount the power strip on the side....any easy ways of doing this??????? <this is priority as the duct tape its being held up with now surely wont last

subbed!

looking good psilo.

how many cfls you got running @ what watts?
what is your average temp/humidity in the case?

3 plants in a pc case might be pushing it.. -- we shall see how they turn out.

----

you can look into transplanting into a bigger container if you like.
- bigger container = bigger yield -- but with 3 plants -- no idea how you can make it fit.

4 days of 12/12 -- you should see sex in about 2-3 weeks (hope they are female!)

you can lst -- just be careful and dont break the stems.

mounting the power strips -- look for EARTH MAGNETS (ebay)
- use electrical tape to place em on the back of the extension cords and you should be set

3 x 23w 2700k 1640 lumen sylvania's, temp stays around 65-75 degrees maybe a little hotter some days....also, am not anticipating all to be fem which is why I started 3. If they all turn out to be fem I am giving one to a friend

Thanks Herb

no problem psilo.

you might want to squeeze in another 2700k bulb in there (or 1 5000k-6500k bulb for mix spectrum)

you seem to have the temp under control -- so adding more lights shouldnt be a problem.

how old were the plants when you switched to 12/12?

got a bigger container and transplanted the twins, I should probably have waited till sex but I said fuck it...my previous outdoor grow I had two that had this dfect and were both males which is why I left it in its container....If it turns out fem (which I should know in about a week?) I am def keeping it...Started some lst with the twins using tape cause I read in multiple places that it works just fine (Gonna use fishing line or light string once theyre stronger)....

1. Can anyone tell me what they thing would be a good pattern to LSt these boys? I plan on getting a SCROG screen but I want to take advantage of as much space as possible here....

Is the second link basicly a scrog guide? I just buoilt my first grow pc and plan on doing a scrog and that looks like one or something similar? Still need to learn how to do it, that's why I'm asking

This one - http://www.weedguru.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=26607
hey mania

that link is actually more of the LST (low stress training)
- basically just trying the branches down to allow more lights on the lower growth.

the first link is closer to SCROG/SOG (sea of green_
- see how the plants goes OVER then UNDER?
- branches goes up and under allowing the bud sites to shoot through

Thanks for the guides! LST seems to be working and making the stems strong...



1. I have a pic of the top, can I top it yet? and when I do its just that whole thing there in the middle I took a picture of right? in between the two fan leaves?

2. The roots are starting to come out of the drainage holes in the bottom, is this going to be bad?

Hey do you have a tutorial for the pc grow box? If so could you please link me? Thanks.
I actually haven't found any guides on this (not that I've looked) I've pretty much just looked on here enough to get an idea of what to do. You jut want to make sure everything is secure inside, you have no light leakage, and enough space. All other elements are basic cannabis techniques.

Transplanted, again...this tim ei think theyll stay in these pots....Took the light fixture from the top, but when I realized I forgot to buy the magnets I had already removed the tape and have no more....I did however have some Krazy Glue....ive used this shit before and its workled fantastically so I tried it here...seems to work just fine until I can get magnets. In case of failure of glue I put a small layer of electrical tape on (just to keep it from hitting the plants in case it fell) and what I will be using as a Scrog....still cant see sex yet, gave the weakest one too a friend so its just the Retard and Emma growing now. ANY criticisms whatsoever? Comments? Tips?

nice acu-rite temp checker!

i have the same one -- seems like everyone is using them.

----

that screen should work fine for scrog -- just fine a wayto secure it while your plants are growing through them
(magnets should help with that also)

try moving your plants up -- about 2-3 inches from the lights.

looking good so far!

Try some Zip Ties. That glue and the residue on the tape can melt under extreme heat. Looking good tho, I'm subbed.
