Chrome's 'Just Mess'in Around' CFL + Bag Seed Grow

hey miller thanks for stopping by! I am happy with how the plants have responded to my meager set up. Unfortunately kitty bitch and leela are confirmed dudes. :( Mary bell I still don't know.. Yeah I take the half assed approach because everything is better when you keep it simple. Also i have grow before ad gardened my whole life so i know the basics, as long as you understand how a plant goes you'll be set. now if i could just get some ladies i the house. hahaha
 
You know what I would do next time dude? I would give them sexy girls names as oppose to possibly interpretetable hermy names, perhaps Roxanne and Leona and Sarah as oppose to kitty Bitch n co. Just a thought haha

:thumb:
 
hahaha. Yeah maybe so. I'm almost 100% positive Mary Bell is a chick. So you might be one to something here. I will be pulling Kitty Bitch and Leela tomorrow as my GF want the pots for non-smokable flowers:loopy:.... I will keep growing MB and as soon as the pistils Pop I will make some clones and get ready to go hydro!!!
 
Hey, buddy! Sorry to hear about them dudes. That sucks. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Mary Bell! :goodluck: On the bright side you get to focus all those bulbs onto one plant. She'll be lovin' that! Keep it up and best of luck to you, buddy! :grinjoint:
 
Hey thanks AM! yeah I just pulled the dudes and now I am trying to figure out how I want these lights set up. I was going to do an upgrade this week but sunday was my birth day and I drank my upgrade money away Saturday. HAHA My plan was to ad some supplemental LEDs in the form of a 45watt tri band panel. I was going to move the CFLs to the side of the plant. so now I have to figure out how to use what I have to get the lights on all sides.

well there she(?) is, Mary bell my last hope. Thats the best i could rig up at the moment with out buying supplies. hope she likes it! I'd really like to get a harvest out of but until she shows I remain skeptical. she def does not have balls that i am almost certain but she is taking for ever to pop her pistils. but its only been one week in flower so hopefully by the week end She will be showing.
 
Well Neutrino, Vibes arrived perfectly! got home and peaked in on Mary bell and there are tons of little (ad i do mean little) white hairs poking out today! Yay! I'd post a pic but my canon powershot s2IS hates macro photography I think. But I do want to post this.

I didn't fell the top bulbs where much use the way they were as they weren't hitting the center of the plant so i picked this up last night. all for fit perfectly.

I'm so excited now!!!
 
i bet your girl will look like mine in like a week or less haha mine like 7 weeks old total. I think im like just a little a head of you both cfl
 
I am thinking of buying to more of those reflectors and some more bulbs and having them shine in from the sides. My current side lighting set up Just feels kind of useless. I know no light is useless, all light is worth having. Yet i really just am not happy with the set up. Also I need to get some Nutes ASAP. I am currently using some poinsettia food which is a 15-30-15 and is chuck full of micro nutes and I'm mixing it as directed by manufacturer. PH is about 6.3 with nutes and I try and stay around that when i water as well.

The only negative aspects of my grow right now are the burn marks on the leaves she kept getting while stretching the past week or so. I'd go to work with 3 to 4 inches for her and come back and she was all up in my lights.. the higher I raised the lights to more she stretched, luckily my GF has started taking a more active role in this grow and makes sure to check the lights to see if they need to be moved. So the burning has stopped. Though all the big leaves are now curling under a wee bit. These are leaves that were affected by buring so I'm not sure if its related. the smaller new growth is just fine.

I have been eye balling the Technaflora Recipe for Success Starter Kit. To get me through the rest of this grow and into the next.

Also I will be cloning soon. I plan on taking the bottom 4 maybe 5 shoots as I want to run 4 plants next round, which yes will be hydro. this dealing with soil BS is annoying and messy! as soon as anything interesting happens that my camera will be willing to focus on and take a good pic of I will post it. For the time being how ever everything is very small. The hairs for instance are only viewable with a magnifying glass really, they are about 1.5 to 2 cm long last time I checked them, But they are there and they are real. Which makes me very happy, I have been sad since I aborted KB and Leela. I for get how much emotion and heart you put into growing. Its been so long since i have grown. they really are like your child a part of my family.

Miller yeah i hope mine look like that soon! they are looking wonderful, you are about a week ahead of me so that makes sense. though in 7 days I'd like mine to look better than yours.. hahaha :p

Oh yeah my GF is starting to get really worried about the smell, cause she already smells very strongly and Its only going to bet stronger as she flowers. The fan I use on her is a stand up hepa/ionizer unit that helps alot when she's running but it only runs at lights on, so the Oder builds for 12 hours, well actually no 13. (I switched to 13/11 dark/light, the other day)I have been seeking smell absorbing gel but i cant find it at any stores. and I don't wanna build a scrubber, no need really. We smoke enough weed that our place always smelled like weed any ways, so i really don't see the big deal my self. I love coming home and going in my room, getting bitch slapped with the smell. Its lovely. Still has the corona taste smell. How ever its getting more defined citrus note. very nice. And on my how she has grown, she was about 14 inches when I put her into flower and she's about 10 inches taller, its weird how the pics really don't show her height very well. Ok well Till next time, thanks for stopping by every one, I have to check out your grows as well, I have been busy. Maybe I can get to them later.
 
Oh yeah for sure, I will start the clones in the next few days. The i figure i'll have a good week or two to get the hydro rig together while they root. the only problem i have is where to start vegging them as I flower this one. might try and section of the top of the closet from the bottom half. dunno we shall see.
 
you can see where the better lights , hps etc come into it their own once you have bought a dozen bulbs and reflectors and want even more don't you? Of course the stumbling block is the forking out cash all in one go so I see why people still go that route etc. A shame man. Not everyone makes such a great job of it as you.

Pros and cons between soil and hydro of course but sure you will get to grips with whichever methods you choose, especially if 'the other half' is getting more involved and being helpful.

Keep up the good work amigo

Maybe you could use some form of box or some simple structure you could throw together. After all the clones won't get too big. No sense wasting money if there only gonna be there for a few weeks.

A little tip with the camera as mine sucks up close as well. Placing the lens through your magnifying glass will help it focus much closer.
