here are the 5 plants, 1 of them are 1 week older than all of them.
The smallest seedling is a week behind the others.

Are you saying there is one week of age between oldest and youngest or 2 weeks? I'm wondering how you will handle nutrient schedule. Also, those lights might be adequate for now but not for long.

Its a 2 week difference.
Well. Im gonna use the nutes for the regular plants schedule, it shouldnt be too big of a difference.
And for the lights, i forgot to give an update:
-26watt cfl x4
-46 watt x1
-40watt x2

i will add about 150 more wattage of cfls once it hits flowering period.

Wow, a no netpot grow. This will be interesting. Are you on 1/4 strength nutes now? Are your current cfl's 2700k or 6500k or a mix? I've seen good things from a cfl only grow. I did it for 3 grows as I learned. You are right about doing this set-up in veg and adding more for flower. You can already see tight internode spacing. Keep up the good work.

Yep, im on 1/4 strength atm.

The lights are a mix of 2700k and 6500k, once flowering hits, i will take out the 6500k out so the plant would be taking in all red spectrum.
Thanks for the support! :bigjoint:

Hey man, Nice ladies! (hopefully) I'm runing a similar setup (DIY w/2 plants, same nutes, 4x27w daylights and a 64w cool white) and was wondering how you control you PH/ how often do you water?
Good luck and sub'd!

thanks for the support,

well. i bought a an electrical pH meter off amazon for about $14, and i keep my pH at 5.5-6.5. generally, our tap water is more alkaline than the acidity but the foxfarm nutes lowers the pH from about 7-8 to 5-6, making it ideal for the first couple days, but when some nutrient is being used up, the pH slowly rises again. at this point, i would place around 5 drips of white vinegar into the growing solution and the pH should decrease a little bit.

About watering, i usually feed my plants about 1 liter (1/3 gallon) a day (i have changed to 1.5gallon tubs as they are much easier to handle). As the roots are now growing in a quick pace, i generally keep the tub filled up to the tip of the lid and that may be the simplest way to manage the watering.

Flowering day 10.No sign of sex yet but good steady growth.
Next update will be posted the moment sex shows.

Lion o Zion · Oct 5, 2009

ZB & Babies both showed signs of pollen sacs, i will let them grow for another couple days to confirm sex.

i'm almost certain that the two are boys, but the sacs a quite small so i couldnt capture it with a camera..

Lion o Zion · Oct 6, 2009

Well, here are the two male plants:

here are two pics that clearly show the balls

and here's them as dead as they could be:

Hopefully the other three are girls...

Lion o Zion · Oct 12, 2009

The three plants all turned out to be girls :blsmoke:

they are now getting hairy on many nodes and in the next week or so, buds should begin to form.

Lion o Zion · Oct 18, 2009

after a long day, i have hooked up a 150 watt hps system along with changing my growbox.
