Hey again guys!!

Hax, I'm utterly confused by that vid, which leaves me ever so slightly more confused than the default level of confusion I'm normally at...cool...........I think?!?! :trix:

It's lovely to see you about Deej, I had read you were taking a break and I was sad to read that, but I also understand, hope all's well you neck of the big old marble on which we twirl and twirl and occasionally fart and then twirl again!

Everyone else, hello there!!!! :bannana:

Okay, not much to say I had decided to make something of an effort to journal these seed plants....

It's looking good. I'm giving them 12 hours under the sodium, and the last 6 under the 250w red fluoro....growth has accelerated tremendously, I'm getting the sort of results now that I used to see when I had the hallide, much more robust, internodal growth actually doing something, I'm much happier with things as they are now...

The White Rhino and Afghan have both sexed as females, the citral is unfortunately a male, which is a real shame as he appears to be a rather perfect plant, but he is so tiny!!

Anyway, 2/3 isn't too bad a ratio at all, I have also started some more seeds, this time I'm growing out my last Eclipse seed, and also having another whirl with the Solar Eclipse, hopefully this time I will get a female from them as I'm dying to know how this cross will turn out!

Did I mention I finally got my new hood? I'm curious to see if the growth improves as a result of concentrating the light onto the plants, rather than it just sort of floating off all over the cupboard, we shall see, as they say!

Also, flower is doing good, I should have 4 plants ready in the next 10 days, so I will have some nice budshots then, I would have taken pics just now but my light is on and they just look crappy and orange!!

Well, I don't really have much else to say, so have a nice week and take care everyone!

, it takes forever and a day with a fluro to produce the kind of sidegrowth



Another con of the fluoro is that plants like to streeeeettttcchhh more and it's a total pain in the bum,

T5's :winky:


and the trick ...keeping the light 2 to 3 inches from the top of the plants :tup: I think the higher the light the more the stretch?

3 weeks from seed...G13xBSH HP pheno is what these were labeled... I assume these 4 are (F) seeing how the (M's) already showed ....

I have a theory that the Males grow faster to get taller than the girls at pollination.

Heya Mos`Hamid AKzurie!

Nice pic, those G13xBSH are really nice and bushy, great job! I think I have this sorted now.....basically, the problem was that I had my fluoro light hanging so that I was using it vertical style and that just wasn't working.....also the cupboard is about 15ft high so the light wasn't concentrated where it could be best used, so the result was very stretched and straggly growth.....

I think we've got it sroted for now, the hood is most certainly making a difference since I got it....I've got a great example with the skunk I have in veg.....generally speaking, it's a lanky stretchy plant, since I got the hood the new growth is so much more compact and bushy, you can see what I mean in this picture, the lower 2/3 of the plant is very stretched out but you can see the top growth is so much better:

I've also noticed that seedlings are no longer stretching like they did before, growth is nice and compact, the only thing I can say I'm missing now [from not using hallide to veg] is that fan leaves seem a bit smaller than with hallide, but everything is in proportion which is great....

Here's a couple seed plants:

I'm trying out Solar Eclipse again in the hopes I get a fem this time, it's my home hack of sensi star (the really crystally female on the front page of this journal....at least I had the brains to make some seeds) and Eclipse (basically bubblegum) I'm also growing my last Eclipse seed I bought in Amsterdam in 05....just to clear some room really.....so far it's a bit mutant in growth, weird leaves mostly, but it's now growing out of that stage!!

I'm also having lots of mold problems (botrytis) I've had to pull my last 2 harvest early on account of it.....I think the cause seems to be poor roots, I'm not getting very big roots lately and I think this is causing the coco to be too wet, which is all compounding when the buds are at the densest, so watering rations are cut right back, and I've bought some Rhizotonic to see if that can be improved, in the meantime I won't have anything ready for another week, so here are some pics of what's in flower, I had them all out of the tent earlier to thoroughly bleach it and scrub it down...I really hope I can get this issue resolved (poor roots aren't exactly going to be helping my yields either)

Anyway fingers crossed things improve!
