So I have been hard at work on my first grow. I can't say enough about this site and wonderful mentors such as Roseman, without these resources I would be lost.

So here we are at my 5th week of flowering with my Crystal Rain in the front with the nice Cola's in the back are some bagseeds, I killed four Mazar x Afghan's and three other Crystal Rain's to get to this point.

I switched early on the a DIY Bubbleponic system, I vegged under 5, 75W CFL's, now I am under a 400w HPS.

Enjoy!

notice pictue #6, the fast growth put that top too close to my 400w and it got burned, when it recovered it started growing three tops?

Those plants look sweet, are they a sativa hybrid? Great to hear your top that came back as three, I just had a close call but the plant seems to be taking it in stride, hasn't slowed a bit. The girls really went for a stretch that second night.

How did the cfl's do in vegging? You did what I'm planning to do. First grow was 400w MH for veg, 400w HPS for flower, just started flower last Saturday. But now I've got some clones rooting and once they take I'm putting them in another cab and use cfl's there. Sounds like a good compromise, but I may go ahead and buy a 600w hps to add to the 400.

LT, I should have mentioned you too, I have been closely following your grow like a soap opera, I have been riveted to the drama, especially when your tops got stolen. Since you are a few weeks ahead of me I have been using you as a reference. I can't wait untill you harvest.

The cfl's did amazing in veg. The best benefit was that I got no heat with them on 24/7. I started vegging with my 400 W hps and it fried my first attempt. My res got up to 98 degrees!

Today marks day 42 of 12/12.

Let me know what you think about the bag seed, looks pretty dank to me?

So I was doing a drain and replenish last night and I saw that one of my bag seed plants had seeds. I started investigating and found that all of them had seeds, mainly on the small lower buds. I went ahead and cut all of them. Yesterday was the end of Week 7 flowering.

When I got home tonight I checked my Crystal Rain and it appears that it is showing seeds on the smaller buds too.

Out of my eight plants, I had three males and pulled them immediately. I can't figure out what happended.
I could understand if one hermied, but all five of my girls, can anyone help me here? What should I do?

thanks!
