[Tunes420]

some healthy looking plants there

 

[dfw-guy]

Night updates: Nothing much, fed them earlier this morning.
Marie day 18 night

Elsie day 23 night

 

[dfw-guy]

Day 19 and 24 night. They're getting taller now that the lights are higher. I'll start LST soon. Who knew they'd grow this fast.

 

[CharlieMopps]

I did. This is when they change how they look the most it seems. I mean, 3 weeks ago there was nothing. How long do you plan to veg for?

 

[dfw-guy]

I was thinking about 4 weeks. So since they're 5 days apart I'll probably go 12/12 when their 27 and 32 days old.

 

[Dat Doud]

nice lookin plants man

 

[dfw-guy]

No need to be jealous, I'm really happy how this grow has gone. Sorry for the lack of updates I've been very busy for the past few days. I started LST and they're doing great.
Marie day 23

Elsie day 28, Four weeks old today

Thanks for looking

Looking good DFW Guy, keep it up!!! I'll be watching

 

[GMT1975A]

DFW-Guy..very nice indeed, keep it up bro..

 

[CharlieMopps]

Wow brother, topping a plant and lst'ing the split growth. You're torturing that plant but it should increase yield big time.

 

[InhaledFreq]

LST...and topping, nice.

 

[CharlieMopps]

edit: idk how but double posted from above.
I think i'm gonna have to do the same thing when my plants get big.

 

[dfw-guy]

Thanks for all the positive energy guys, I really appreciate it.

They like it ruff
I lengthened the night by 1 hour last night, and I'll be doing so until I get to 12/12. I think it's best to do things nice and slow Oh and I have my filtration system on. It's made of 2 box lids and activated carbon aquarium filters. It also works to block out light during their night so going to 12/12 shouldn't be a problem. Temps went up a little bit with it on, topping out at around 84, usually staying at 82 in the day and below 80 at night. These are the readings from my crap thermometer

 

[Setting Sun]

Can you give some more detail on the construction of the carbon filter?

looks interesting!

regards,

SS

 

[dfw-guy]

Sure. I used lots of duct tape. The filters are from the aquarium center at walmart, I got the biggest ones they had. Simple really, and it works. I lined the inside with weather stripping.
As far as preflowers go, both plants are definitely showing them, I just can't see any balls or pistils. I have no magnification. All I can say about them is that Marie's are much larger than Elsie's. Marie seems to really be maturing faster than Elsie, and I'm thinking she might turn into a he later on. Keep in mind Marie is a full 5 days behind Elsie.

I continued the LST today, girls grow fast. Tonight will be a 10 hour night. Tomorrow will be the switch to 12/12.
Here's marie's innerds. Day 25 for her.

LST'ing the main stem on her.

Elsie is on day 30. All of her big branches are LST'ed.

 

[Munki]

With the LST, they are looking like regular "potted plants". I could see one of these in every person's cubicle at work. ::

 

[Ms.Fox]

^ I agree.

Your plants are looking wonderful!

 

[dfw-guy]

I wish I could have them out in the open. They smell like mint.
